HOW WE USE COOKIES

In addition to the above methods of collecting Personal Information, we use data collection devices such as “cookies” or tracking pixels on certain web pages to personalize the experience, help analyze our web page processes and use, and measure promotional effectiveness. Cookies are small files that a website transfers to your device through a web browser that enable the systems to recognize your device and capture and remember certain information. Similarly, tracking pixels are graphics embedded on a webpage or in an email that may be used to deliver or communicate with cookies, to count users who have visited certain pages, and to understand usage patterns.

In general, our website uses cookies and other tracking technologies as follows:

Where necessary to run our Website, allowing you to log in and add items to your cart;
To increase the function of the Website, including personalizing content for you, pre-filling forms, and remembering your preferences;

Cookies vary in how long they last. “Session cookies” terminate shortly after you terminate your internet session. “Persistent cookies” are stored on your device until a set expiration date. We use both session cookies and persistent cookies on our website.

If you set your device to not receive cookies at any time, certain personalized services cannot be provided to you, and accordingly, you may not be able to take full advantage of all of our features.

HOW WE STORE AND RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION

We attempt to ensure that personal information is safeguarded against loss, access, use, modification, disclosure or other misuse. All reasonable steps are taken to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information.

We will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected and to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Your consent to such purpose(s) remains valid after termination of our relationship with you. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

We take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is accurate, up-to date, complete, relevant, and not misleading.

We may store your personal information in databases located in the United States and/or other countries outside of the United States. Additionally, some of our service providers may reside in the United States or other countries outside of the United States and will be subject to the laws of the local jurisdiction. As a result, in certain circumstances, the United States and other foreign governments, courts, law enforcement agencies or regulatory agencies may be entitled to access the personal information collected and held by us.

SECURITY

We safeguard your personal information on the Internet by using industry-standard practices. Although “guaranteed security” does not exist either on or off the Internet, we make commercially reasonable efforts to make the collection and security of such information consistent with our Privacy Policy and all applicable laws and regulations. While we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. In the event that we are required by law to inform you of any unauthorized access to your personal information, we may notify you electronically, in writing, or by telephone, if permitted to do so by law.

Our Website permits you to create an account. When you do so, you will be prompted to create a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, and you are responsible for any access to or use of your account by someone else that has obtained your password, whether or not such access or use has been authorized by you. You should notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account.

Currently, our Website utilizes a variety of different security measures designed to protect personal information by users both inside and outside NJHOF, including password protection, and other security measures to help prevent unauthorized access to your personally identifiable information.

We have implemented internal policies and technical measures to protect Personal Information from loss, accidental destruction, misuse or disclosure. Such internal policies and technical measures include:

Procedures and controls to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services.
Procedures to ensure that data is not accessed, except by individuals in the proper performance of their duties.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.
