The primary purpose of this website is to provide information regarding the American Friends of the Prado Museum institution and the activity and legacy of the Museo del Prado of Spain.

The information we collect from the website is used to improve the content of our web page, to notify consumers about updates to our Web site, to maintain membership data and communication, process volunteer donation transactions and to contact consumers for marketing purposes only in relation to the Museo del Prado and the American Friends of the Prado Museum.

We collect the domain name of visitors to our website, the e-mail addresses of those who provide it to us or who communicate with us via e-mail, aggregate information on what pages users access or visit, user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, and information volunteered, such as membership information.

IP Addresses

For each visitor to our webpage, our Web server automatically recognizes the visitor’s domain name or Internet Protocol address. An Internet Protocol ("IP") address is a number that is automatically assigned to every computer connected to the Internet. When visitors request pages from our Web site, our servers log the visitors' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a visitor's session will be logged, but the visitor remains anonymous to us. We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to audit the use of our site. We also use IP addresses to collect statistical information for promotional purposes. We may use IP addresses to identify a user when we believe it is necessary to enforce compliance with the terms governing use of our site or to protect our services, site, customers, or others.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that is created in the computer's hard drive that gives the user a unique, random ID. This ID enables the Web site to readily recognize each visitor on a subsequent visit to the site. For example, a cookie may indicate the preferences selected by a visitor on a prior visit and facilitate more efficient browsing on subsequent visits. We use cookies to store visitor preferences (to make visiting our site easier), to record session information and to record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit (to see which sections are popular and which are not). If you reject the cookie, you may still use our site, but you will not have access to any part of the site that requires you to log in.

Use Of Information

The information you provide to us will be used to operate our website and to deliver the services you have requested if you volunteer to become a member.

We will only send information regarding activities of the Museo del Prado occurring in the U.S.A. or in Spain and the activities of the American Friends of the Prado Museum. Persons who supply us with their telephone numbers on-line may receive telephone contact from us regarding your membership or upcoming events. We will NOT share your telephone number with any other organizations.

If you volunteer to become a member and/or make a donation, we will have to share the information you disclose at the time you make the donation with: 1) the administration of the American Friends of the Prado Museum and 2) the credit card processor for purposes of collecting money for donations. We also reserve the right to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to cooperate with law enforcement and other authorities in investigating a claim of illegal activity.

With respect to Ad Servers: We do not partner with nor have special relationships with any ad server companies. All information is maintained by the American Friends of the Prado Museum.

Security

When we transfer and receive certain types of sensitive information such as financial information, we redirect visitors to a secure server for the transfer of data. We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we have collected from you at our site.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or any information provided by our on-line services, and you do so at your own risk. We will not be liable for disclosures of your personal information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties. However, once we receive your transmission, we will make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. If you lose or forget your password, we will e-mail it to you or you can contact us at info@afpradomuseum.org or at +1 (786) 453-5283.
