When you use our website, we automatically receive and record certain information from your computer or device and browser. This may include your IP address and domain name, the pages you visit, the date and time of your visit, files you download, URLs from websites you visited before and after navigating to the site, your software and hardware attributes including device IDs, and your general geographic location.

We also use cookies on our website, as discussed below. We may compile and combine information about you from different sources. Any information maintained together with personally identifiable information will be treated as personally identifiable information.

The Grand Egyptian Museum may use your personally identifiable information to provide our services to you, including managing contests, events, and subscriptions that you choose to participate in.

• To analyze and improve our services, as described in the Cookies and Analytics section
• To extend promotional offers such as invitations to Museum events, or to send administrative announcements
• To inform you internally of events and opportunities at the Museum when you disclose your address
• To complete the transaction if you make a purchase or donation on our website
• To prevent improper use of our site or assist in the investigation of improper or illegal activity
• To serve advertisements to people who may be interested in the Museum, using non-identifiable information

The Museum generally will not disclose your personally identifiable information to outside parties without your consent or where necessary to perform services or provide products that you have requested.

On occasion, the Museum uses trusted 3rd-party providers to deliver its services or to communicate with you. The Museum only uses providers that we believe impose reasonable safeguards on the privacy of your information.

We may also disclose your personally identifiable information:

• As required by law
• When we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights
• To protect the rights, safety, or property of others
• To participate in a judicial proceeding, comply with a court order, or respond to other legal process
• To complete a transaction involving the transfer of Museum operations

If you do not wish to receive the communications described above, you may choose to "opt out." Opting out may prevent your participation in activities for which personal information is needed, such as Museum programming or contests.

You may choose to restrict our use of your information to maintaining your registration on our website, or may ask us to refrain from disclosing your information to others. You may request that we receive information by telephone or postal mail.

If your child submits stories, artwork, comments, or anything else posted on our site, he or she will be identified only by first name, age, and state.

Before we collect or allow the submission of any personally identifying information, we require the user to specify his or her age. When a user indicates an age of 12 years old or younger, a parental consent form appears on the user's screen describing the personal information to be collected and the proposed uses of such information. No personal information is collected from children 12 and under except in accordance with parental consent as required by law.

A consent form is not required when a child subscribes to email newsletters. If a child 12 years old or younger provides his or her email address to receive a newsletter, the child is also required to submit the email address of a parent or guardian, who is sent a notice and given the option to unsubscribe.

Our website may offer bulletin boards, chat rooms, or other public forum-type features that enable you to post information, comments, file uploads, recommendations, ratings, blogs, or other information. If you elect to post information to our site, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these features, which are open to the general public.

The Grand Egyptian Museum website uses a technology tool called a "cookie" — a small text file that our website temporarily stores on your hard drive. When you return to our site, your browser passes the cookie back to our website so we can recognise you as you move through the site. At no time will the cookie reveal to others your name, email address, street address, or telephone number.

We use cookies and similar technologies to analyse how users interact with our website, which helps us modify the site and improve our visitors' experiences. We also may provide advertisements to users who have visited our site on other websites. In particular, the Museum's website uses Google Analytics.

The Museum's website also enables third-party tracking mechanisms to collect information about you and your computing devices for use in online interest-based advertising. Third parties may use the fact that you visited our site to target online ads to you.

To ensure that your credit card transaction with the Grand Egyptian Museum is secure, the Museum has implemented industry-standard commercial data security tools. The information you submit to the Online Ticket Store or for any other products or services is protected by an encryption technology called the Secure Sockets Layer Protocol. This security software encrypts your credit card information so that it cannot be read as your ticketing order travels over the Internet.

The Grand Egyptian Museum site may contain links to other websites. Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are clicking to the site of another organisation. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites. Accordingly, we encourage you to read the privacy statements of other websites, as their policies may differ from ours.

As our website grows, it may be necessary for us to change our privacy policy to reflect new online activities and programmes. Any changes will be posted here. To keep informed about our information practices, please check this page periodically.

If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy statement, our online practices, or your dealings with this website, please reach out to us directly.
