We are committed to respecting the privacy and privacy rights of our users and recognize the need for appropriate protection and management of information that may be used, either alone or in combination with other information, to personally identify an individual (“Personal Information”) and, as a subset thereof, Personal Information that may be considered sensitive personal information under Data Privacy Laws (defined below) ( “Sensitive Personal Information”) that is shared with us in connection with users’ use of the Website.

If you do not agree with any of the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Website.

The WPI is the data controller of the Personal Information collected via or in connection with the Website.

The Website may contain links to, or advertisements for, websites or mobile applications operated by third parties, including, without limitation, third party social media platforms, and, therefore, not owned or controlled by the WPI. The links to, and advertisements concerning, such third-party websites/mobile applications are provided for your convenience only. We are not responsible for the content, performance, or privacy practices of these third-party websites/mobile applications or for your interactions with them, and you visit them at your own risk. Our inclusion of links to, or advertisements for, such third-party websites/mobile applications does not imply any endorsement of the material, products, or services provided by such third-party websites/mobile applications or any association with such third-party websites/mobile applications or their owners or operators whatsoever.

2. Changes to this Privacy policy.

We reserve the right, at any time and from time to time, for any reason in our sole discretion, to add to, delete, and/or modify any or all of this Privacy Policy. We display the effective date of this Privacy Policy at the top of this page, indicated by the “Last Updated” legend. Unless otherwise indicated, any changes to this Privacy POLICY will apply immediately upon posting to the Website. If you use the affected Website after the changes become effective, it means you agree to the changes to this Privacy Policy.

4. Information Collected and How We Collect It.

We may from time to time receive and/or collect the following categories of Personal Information:

Identifiers, such as your first and last name, email address, postal address, Internet Protocol (IP) address;
Account information, such as your username and account password;
Your form of payment and your billing address used to purchase services via the “Submit a Request” function on the Website;
Network activity, such as information collected from cookies and similar tracking technologies (as described below), marketing and communication preferences, browsing history, search history, and information regarding your interactions with a website, application, or advertisement; and
Any other information you provide to the WPI via the Website or on an order form, some of which may constitute Personal Information.

Other than as expressly set forth above, we generally do not request on or through the Website Sensitive Personal Information, such as other financial account information (e.g., credit report information, bank account numbers) or government-issued identification (e.g., your social security card, driver’s license, or passport), although we reserve the right to do so when such information is necessary to provide the services offered through the Website and to fulfill your requests made through the Website. Pursuant to US Data Privacy Laws (defined below), you have the right to request that the WPI limit the use or disclosure of your Sensitive Personal Information. To do so, please contact us at privacy@wpi-art.org.

The sources from which we obtain Personal Information are described below.

4.1 Personal Information You Provide to Us Through the Website.

If you register an account; sign up to receive the WPI’s email newsletter; sign up for an Event (defined below); submit a request for a committee’s consideration, or purchase an applicable service pursuant to such request, via the “Submit a Request” function; or otherwise contact us via the “Contact” link, on the Website, then you may provide us with, and we may collect, certain information that may constitute Personal Information and/or Sensitive Personal Information.

In addition, from time to time we may provide users with the ability to sign up for, and participate in, activities or programs hosted on the Website, on third-party digital platforms (i.e., Zoom), or offline, accessible through the News & Events function located on the Website’s homepage (each, an “Event”). When you register through the Website to participate in an Event, we may require that you provide us with certain information that may constitute Personal Information, such as your first and last name, postal address, and email address.

As noted, some Events may be hosted on third-party digital platforms or in an offline setting sponsored by a third party. If you do not wish for the WPI to share with these third parties the information you supply when you register for such Events, please specify this in an email to privacy@wpi-art.org.

4.2 Information Provided by Third Parties.

We may from time to time collect information, including Personal Information, about you through non-affiliated third parties, including, without limitation, Google Analytics and, when you register for an Event, Zoom Video Communications, Inc. If you access the Website from another website that provides Personal Information about you in accordance with their privacy policy, then we may collect such Personal Information. Additionally, we may from time to time receive Personal Information from third-party sources that aggregate information from multiple sources for purposes of audience identification and email marketing.

4.3 Information Collected Automatically.

We may from time to time automatically collect certain information when you access or use the Website by means of various software tools described below (depending on your choices). In such circumstances, we use such information for log-in and systems administration purposes, information security and abuse prevention, to track user trends, and to analyze the effectiveness of the Website and to otherwise personalize the Website to you. Alone or in combination with other information, such automatically collected information may constitute Personal Information.

We may automatically collect the following information, some of which may constitute Personal Information, when you access or use the Website:

Log Files on the Website. The information inside the log files may include, amongst other similar types of information, IP addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, clicked pages, and any other information your browser may send to us.
Cookies. When you use or visit the Website, our servers may send a cookie to your computer. Cookies are small pieces of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device. A cookie contains an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

Cookies do not typically contain information that individually identifies you, but Personal Information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. We use cookies to make interactions with the Website easy and meaningful. We may use cookies that are session-based and persistent. Session cookies exist only during one session and disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser or turn off your computer. Please note that, if you disable your web browser’s ability to accept cookies, you will be able to navigate the Website but you may not be able to successfully use all the features of the Website.

If you are based in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will seek your consent to set non-essential cookies when you first visit our Website. If you click Reject All, we will only set Required Cookies (defined below).

Information regarding how we may use different categories of cookies and your options for managing cookie settings is set forth below.

Type of Cookie	Description	Managing Settings
Required Cookies	Required cookies enable you to navigate the Website and use features, such as accessing secure areas of the Website and using our Website. If you have chosen to identify yourself to us, we use cookies containing encrypted information to allow us to uniquely identify you. Each time you log into the Website, a cookie containing an encrypted, unique identifier that is tied to your account is placed on your browser. These cookies allow us to uniquely identify you when you are logged into the Website and to process your online transactions and requests.	Because required cookies are essential to operate the Website, there is no option to opt out of these cookies.
Performance Cookies	These cookies collect information about how you use the Website, including which pages you go to most often and whether you receive error messages from certain pages. These cookies do not collect information that individually identifies you. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous. They are used only to improve how the Website functions and performs. From time-to-time, we may engage third parties to track and analyze usage and volume statistical information from individuals who visit the Website.	To learn how to opt out of performance cookies using your browser settings, click here. If you are located in the UK or the EEA, these will only be set if you consent.
Functionality Cookies	Functionality cookies allow the Website to remember information you enter and choices you make (such as your username, language, or your region), and to provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies also enable you to optimize your use of the Website after logging in. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize.	To learn how to opt out of functionality cookies using your browser settings, click here. If you are located in the UK or the EEA, these will only be set if you consent.
Targeting or Advertising Cookies	From time to time, we may track and analyze usage and volume statistical information from individuals who visit the Website. We sometimes use our own cookies, as well as cookies delivered by third parties, to track the performance of advertisements. For example, we may use cookies to remember which browsers have been used to use or visit the Website. The information provided from third parties does not include Personal Information, but this information may be re-associated with Personal Information after we receive it. For example, as you browse the Website, cookies may be placed on your computer so we can understand what you are interested in. Our advertising partners then enable us to present you with re-targeted advertising on other sites based on your previous interaction with the Website. We also contract with third-party advertising networks and similar partners that collect IP addresses and other information from web beacons (see below) through the Website, from emails, and on third-party websites. Ad networks follow your online activities over time by collecting website navigational information through automated means, including through the use of cookies. They use this information to provide advertisements about products and services tailored to your interests. You may see these advertisements on other websites. This process also helps us manage and track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features through the Website, or to display advertising based upon your web browsing activity, use cookies to collect and store information.	To learn more about these and other advertising networks and their opt out instructions, click here. If you are located in the UK or the EEA, these will only be set if you consent.

4.4 Other Tracking Technologies.

When you use or visit the Website, we may collect your IP address to track and aggregate information. For example, we may use IP addresses to monitor the regions from which you navigate the Website. We may also use, either alone or in conjunction with cookies, clear electronic images called “web beacons” that can recognize certain types of information on your computer, such as cookies, when you view a particular site tied to the web beacon. This is used to compile information about your usage of the Website, your interactions with email communications from us, and to operate and improve the Website and our email communications. For example, we may place web beacons in email communications (including, without limitation, marketing emails) that notify us when you click on a link in the email that directs you to the Website.

5. Purposes For Which We Use Personal Information.

If you submit or we collect Personal Information through the Website or as otherwise described above, we may use such Personal Information for the following general purposes:

6. How We Disclose Personal Information.

6.1 Our Third-Party Providers.

We may transfer Personal Information you provide to us through the Website to our third-party service providers and business partners to perform tasks on our behalf and to assist us in providing the Website, including, without limitation, to third-party hosts of an Event for which you have registered, our email marketing partner, presently, The Rocket Science Group LLC d/b/a/ Mailchimp (“Mailchimp”), and/or our third-party payment processor, presently, Stripe, Inc., tasked with processing your purchase of services via the “Submit a Request” feature through the Website.

We will comply with Applicable Law regarding Personal Information transfers and use commercially reasonable efforts to only engage or interact with third-party website providers and business partners that take appropriate measures to protect your Personal Information; however, it is the responsibility of each of those third-party website providers and business partners to comply with Applicable Law and their respective privacy policies, and we take no responsibility for their privacy practices and compliance.

6.2 In the Event of Merger, Sale, or Change of Control.

The WPI may assign or transfer its rights and/or delegate its obligations under this Privacy Policy and transfer any Personal Information to any third-party company or entity that either acquires or is acquired by the WPI, or is merged with or into the WPI, as part of a merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control.

6.3 Other Disclosures.

We may disclose Personal Information about you if required to do so by Applicable Law or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is reasonably necessary or helpful to (i) comply with legal process, (ii) enforce the Terms and Conditions, including investigations of potential violations thereof, (iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud or security issues, or (iv) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of the WPI, other Website users, and the public.

7. Retention of Personal Information.

We will keep your Personal Information while you have an account with us or while we are providing services to you. Thereafter, subject to any Applicable Law, we may hold Personal Information about you for as long as is necessary:

To fulfill the purposes described in Section 5 above (“The Purposes For Which We Use Personal Information”), including, without limitation, to comply with Applicable Law; or
To respond to any questions, complaints, or claims made by you or on your behalf.

We will not retain your Personal Information for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

8. Your Rights.

8.1 Rights Relating to Personal Information.

If you have an account on the Website, we provide access to—and the ability to edit or delete—certain categories of Personal Information through your account on each of our supported domains. We also permit you to:

Delete all content browsing information and opt out of further participation in data associated with the current device you use to use or browse the Website; and
Subject to Applicable Law, if you would like to access, amend, correct, delete, export (e.g. data portability), object to or restrict the processing of Personal Information collected in and through the Website, or withdraw your consent (as applicable), you may submit a request to the WPI’s Privacy Officer either by email at privacy@wpi-art.org or by mail at Wildenstein Plattner Institute, Inc., 19 West 21st Street, Suite 702, New York, NY 10010, United States of America. We will promptly review all such requests in accordance with Applicable Law.
You may have a right to lodge a complaint with a regulatory agency if you believe that we have violated any of the rights concerning Personal Information about you. We encourage you however to first reach out to us via email at privacy@wpi-art.org so that we have an opportunity to address your concerns directly before you do so.

If you are based in the European Union, European Economic Area or United Kingdom, please see Section 12 below (Notice To Residents Of The European Union, European Economic Area, And United Kingdom) to learn about your specific rights under the GDPR.

8.2 Email Notifications and Opt Out.

We maintain a strict “no-spam” policy. Unless you specifically opt out as provided herein, by registering to receive email communications from the WPI via the Website, you expressly agree that we may use your information to contact you by email to deliver information that is relevant to your use of the Website, such as administrative notices; newsletters you have registered for; and/or marketing and promotional information related to the Website, the WPI, and/or Events that you have registered for. You may choose to stop receiving these email communications from us by following the instructions included in such communications or by contacting us at privacy@wpi-art.org. Currently, our third-party email marketing partner, Mailchimp, provides such email communications on our behalf. You may unsubscribe from email communications in accordance with the instructions provided by Mailchimp in such email communications.

If you are located in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will not contact you by email to deliver marketing and promotional information unless we have obtained your prior consent to do so, or if otherwise permitted by law (for example, what is known as the ‘soft opt-in’).

If you are having problems unsubscribing, please forward the relevant email communication to privacy@wpi-art.org and include in the Subject line the word “Unsubscribe”. You will then be removed within ten (10) business days. Please note that we will not process any unsubscribe requests submitted as direct replies to an email communication from us.

9. Data Security.

The security of Personal Information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. For example, we have implemented an information security program that contains administrative, technical and physical controls that are designed to reasonably safeguard Personal Information from unlawful use, unauthorized access, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

10. How We Respond To Do Not Track Signals.

As explained above in Section 4.4, the technologies used through the Website may be used to track Website users’ activity on the Website. How browsers communicate user preferences related to the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform, so a standard technological response has not yet been developed. For this reason, the Website may not respond to Do Not Track signals at this time.

11. Transfers of Personal Information from the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland to the United States of America.

To communicate with you or provide the Website services, the information (including Personal Information) that we collect from you may be transferred to, stored, used, and processed by the WPI in the United States of America or by one of our service providers based inside or outside of the United States of America. Such entities may be engaged in, among other things, preparing and sending notifications and the provision of support services.

If you are visiting from the European Union, the broader European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or other regions with laws governing information collection and use that may differ from those of the United States of America, or any one or more of its individual States, please note that you are transferring your Personal Information to the United States of America. The laws of some countries may not provide the same levels of protection of Personal Information as your home country, particularly if you are resident in the European Union, the broader European Economic Area or the United Kingdom.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that information about you is treated securely in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and that all information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers or those of our service providers and business partners. If you wish to learn more about international data transfers by the WPI, please contact us at privacy@wpi-art.org.

You acknowledge that the laws of the United States of America and its individual States treat your information in a manner that may be substantially different from, and less protective than, the treatment required under the laws of other countries and jurisdictions. If you do not want your information transferred to the United States of America, you should not share your information with us, or make use of the Website.

To the extent allowed by the law of the country in which you are located, you expressly waive any right you may have to require us to treat your PERSONAL information in accordance with the laws of any country or jurisdiction other than the United States of America. However, the foregoing waiver may not be legally binding in some countries, such as the member states of the European Union, the broader European Economic Area OR THE UNITED KINGDOM. To the extent it is not legally binding in the country in which you are located, thE foregoing waiver does not apply to you.

12. NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, AND UNITED KINGDOM

European Economic Area and United Kingdom data protection law requires a “lawful basis” for collecting and retaining Personal Information from citizens or residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, respectively. Our lawful bases for collecting such information about you are permitted under Article 6, Section 1 of the EU general data protection regulation 2016/679 (as amended from time to time, and as adopted by the United Kingdom, the “GDPR”) and are summarized below.

Consent: In certain cases, you have affirmatively provided us with your consent to collect your Personal Information for a specific purpose, such as providing your Personal Information when you contact us through the Website or enter into a contract with us.
Contract: We may need your Personal Information to comply with our contractual obligation to you to deliver the Website, such as fulfilling any future transactional services.
Legal Obligations: Sometimes the law requires us to collect and use your Personal Information, such as applicable tax laws that may require us to retain records of payments made through the Website or through our contract with you.
Legitimate Interests: This is a technical term that means we have a good and fair reason to use your Personal Information and we do so in ways which do not harm your interests and rights, such as to pursue our legitimate interests in a way that might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and that do not materially impact your rights, freedom, or interests.

For example, we (i) use identity, device, and location information to prevent abuse of the Website by users and to keep the Website secure, and (ii) analyze how users interact with our Website so we can understand better what elements do or do not work well, what services/functionalities may be necessary or desirable to provide you with the best user experience on the Website, and to ensure the safety and security of the Website, which allows us to improve and develop the quality of the online experience we offer all our users.

In accordance with the GDPR, as a resident of the European Union, European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, you may have the following rights with respect to your Personal Information:

If the processing of Personal Information is based on your consent, the right to withdraw consent at any time for the processing of such Personal Information. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the consent was withdrawn;
The right to request access to and rectification of your Personal Information;
The right to object to or request restriction of the processing of your Personal Information;
The right to request erasure of your Personal Information; and
The right to receive, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, the Personal Information you have provided to us based on your consent or a contract and that is processed by automated means, and to have such Personal Information transmitted to another company where technically feasible (i.e., data portability).

To make a request pursuant to your GDPR rights, you can contact the WPI’s Privacy Officer either by email at privacy@wpi-art.org or by mail at 19 West 21st Street, Suite 702, New York, NY 10010, United States of America.

If you are not satisfied with our response to any appliable request made pursuant to your rights under the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint about the processing of your Personal Information with your local data protection authority. If you are located in the United Kingdom, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). If you are located in the European Economic Area, you can contact the Commission Nationale Informatique & Libertés (CNIL).
