  • Technical information, such as IP address, browser and device type, referring pages, pages visited, cookie identifiers, and security or diagnostic information generated when you use the website.

How We Use Information

We use personal information to:

  • Manage memberships, household relationships, member benefits, discounts, renewals, and accounts.
  • Process class and event registrations, purchases, donations, refunds, and other transactions.
  • Respond to questions and communicate about programs, exhibitions, classes, volunteer opportunities, membership matters, and organizational news.

  • Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve our website and services.

Payments

Payments made through our website are handled by the payment processor offered at checkout. MAG receives transaction details needed to complete and document the purchase, but we do not intentionally store complete payment-card numbers on our website. Payment processors handle payment information under their own privacy policies and security practices.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies that support essential functions such as account login, membership access, shopping carts, checkout, preferences, security, and site performance. Third-party content or services embedded on the site may also place cookies or collect technical information according to their own policies. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the site from working correctly.

How We Share Information

We may share personal information only as reasonably necessary with:

  • MAG board members, committee members, staff, instructors, docents, and authorized volunteers who need the information for their responsibilities.
  • Service providers that support website hosting, forms, email delivery, membership administration, ecommerce, payments, security, backups, and related operations.
  • Government authorities, legal advisers, or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, property, or the integrity of MAG operations.
  • Other parties at your direction or with your consent.

MAG does not sell personal information for money. We do not use personal information for targeted advertising based on activity across unrelated websites.

Member Directories, Galleries, and Publicity

Some information may be shared with authorized members, docents, or volunteers through restricted directories when needed for MAG activities. Information submitted for a public member gallery, exhibition, newsletter, event listing, or other publicity may be displayed publicly. Class publicity and photography practices are also described during registration or at the event, including available opt-out procedures.

Please do not submit information for public display that you do not want published. Contact us if you would like us to review or remove information that you previously authorized for publication.

Children's Information

MAG offers some programs for children. A parent or legal guardian should complete online registrations and provide information for a child. We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from a child under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian involvement. If you believe a child provided personal information without appropriate permission, please contact us.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including maintaining membership and transaction histories, fulfilling legal or accounting obligations, resolving disputes, protecting the organization, and preserving appropriate organizational records. Retention periods vary according to the type of record and its purpose. We may delete, anonymize, or securely archive information when it is no longer required.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

You may ask us to review, correct, or delete personal information associated with you. You may also unsubscribe from optional marketing email by using the instructions in the message or by contacting us. Certain records may need to be retained for legal, accounting, security, membership-history, or other legitimate organizational purposes.

Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have additional rights concerning access, correction, deletion, portability, consent for sensitive data, or certain uses and disclosures of personal information. You may submit a privacy request using the contact information below. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. If applicable law provides a right to appeal a decision, you may appeal by replying to our decision or contacting us again with “Privacy Appeal” in the subject line.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Links and Third-Party Services

Our website may link to or embed services operated by other organizations. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and MAG is not responsible for third-party websites or services.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices, services, or legal obligations change. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the “Last updated” date.
