Privacy Statement

Generally speaking, “personal information” refers to any information that can be used directly or indirectly to identify an individual. This could include your name, e-mail address or date of birth.

However, business contact information is not considered personal information.

During your interactions with us, we may collect some or all of the following personal information:

• Personal contact information, such as your name, address, e-mail address and telephone number
• Information you provide to us in connection with our services, including sensitive personal information such as your date of birth
• Billing information, such as your billing address and banking information

In all cases, we strive to limit the personal information we collect to that strictly needed for the purposes described in the “How do we use your personal information?” section.

When you browse our website, we collect certain information using cookies and other tracking technologies.

Certain cookies are necessary to ensure our website works properly. Others are optional and help improve site browsing, analyze usage or support promotional efforts to provide a better user experience. You can accept, refuse or customize your choices at any time by clicking on the icon in the bottom-right corner of your screen, which opens the consent manager.

Wherever possible, we will obtain your personal information directly from you, with your consent, when you interact with us (for example, when you fill out a form on our website or reply to a job ad). We may, however, collect your personal information from third parties with your consent, or where permitted by law.

As a rule, we collect, use and disclose your personal information only with your consent. In some cases, however, the law provides that we may collect, use or disclose your personal information without your consent.

By contacting us, supplying your personal information voluntarily or browsing our website, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Policy. Moreover, if you supply the personal information of a third party, you represent that you have the necessary consent or authority to permit us to collect, use and disclose such information in accordance with this Policy.

Subject to certain legal or contractual restrictions, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us as indicated in the “How to reach us” section.

As a rule, we use your personal information for the following purposes:

• To provide services
• To establish, maintain and enhance our business relationship with you
• To recruit personnel
• To ensure compliance with our legal and regulatory obligations
• To ensure we are able to conduct our business properly, including billing and records management
• Any other purpose permitted by law or to which you consent

Within the Museum/Foundation, your personal information is accessible only to our personnel and representatives whose duties require it. We may also share your personal information with third parties when required by law, or with service providers (for example, cloud hosting service providers). In the latter case, we take the necessary steps to ensure your personal information is protected (for example, by imposing specific contractual measures and restricting the sharing of your personal information).

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy and to meet our legal, ethical and regulatory obligations. After that time, your personal information will be securely destroyed or made anonymous.

The personal information we collect is kept confidential in accordance with the applicable legislation. In addition, if you choose to send us personal information by e-mail or through a form available on our website, we will use only the necessary information to reply to your message and follow up on it, ensuring that it remains confidential.

We also take reasonable administrative, technical and physical steps to protect your personal information from loss, theft and unauthorized access or use. For example, we restrict access to our offices and computer equipment and educate our staff about the confidentiality of the personal information to which they have access.

You have the following rights:

• The right to protect the confidentiality of your personal information
