Privacy Policy
Effective Date: March 10, 2025

Kansas City Automotive Museum (“KCAM,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors, members, donors, and users of our website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you visit our website or interact with us online.

This policy applies to information collected through our website (https://kansascityautomuseum.com) and any associated mobile sites or applications (collectively, the “Website”). It does not apply to third-party sites or services that we may link to or recommend.

1. Information We Collect

We collect two types of information from our visitors:

a) Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

This is information that can identify you directly, such as:

  • Name
  • Email Address
  • Phone Number

We collect this information when you:

  • Register for an event
  • Become a museum member
  • Sign up for our newsletter
  • Make a donation
  • Purchase tickets or merchandise
  • Volunteer or sign up for a program

Payment information (such as credit card numbers) is collected and processed securely through third-party payment processors including Square, PayPal, and Qgiv. KCAM does not store or process payment information directly.

b) Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII)

This includes information that does not identify you personally but helps us improve your experience and understand our audience. Examples include:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and device information
  • Pages you visit on our website
  • Date, time, and duration of visits
  • General geographic location (city, state, or country)

We collect this information through Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to better understand our audience, track website performance, and provide relevant content.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Process event registrations, memberships, and donations
  • Provide customer service and respond to inquiries
  • Send email newsletters or marketing updates (if you have opted in)
  • Administer contests, raffles, or special promotions
  • Track website performance and understand visitor behavior
  • Share event registration lists with event partners (when applicable)

We may use your vehicle information (if provided) to tailor our communications about exhibits or events that may specifically interest you.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information (such as name, address, phone number) with third parties for their own marketing purposes. However, we do share information in the following circumstances:

a) Event Partners

If you register for an event, we may share your registration information (name, email, etc.) with event partners or sponsors who are directly involved in the event. This is done solely to ensure a smooth event experience.

b) Sponsors and Museum Partners

We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information with our sponsors or potential sponsors. This may include statistics about our visitor demographics (such as city, state, or attendance numbers) but will not include names, addresses, or payment information.

c) Payment Processors

All online payments are processed through Square, PayPal, and Qgiv. When you make a payment, your financial information is handled securely by these third-party processors, and KCAM does not have access to your credit card or banking details.

d) Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, such as in response to a court order, subpoena, or other legal process.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and gather analytics data. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Analytics: To understand visitor behavior on our site (via Google Analytics).

5. Data Security

We take commercially reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These measures include:

  • Encryption: Sensitive data (like credit card information) is encrypted during transmission.
  • Secure Payment Processing: Payments are handled through Square, PayPal, and Qgiv using industry-standard security measures.
  • Limited Access: Only authorized staff have access to personally identifiable information.

Despite these measures, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We will continue to send transactional emails related to:

  • Event confirmations

7. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child, we will delete it as soon as possible.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the Effective Date at the top of this policy.
