Historic Geneva collects certain information from users, and this policy explains the types of information we gather and what we do with it.
What Personally Identifiable Information Do We Collect?
When you sign up to receive Historic Geneva e-communications, you voluntarily provide us with contact information (such as name and e-mail address). We may use this information for specific, limited purposes. You may always “opt out,” either now or at any time in the future, if you do not wish to receive our messages. Individuals purchasing tickets or products through historicgeneva.org voluntarily provide their credit card information to our donation platform (DonorPerfect) and e-commerce (Woo Commerce and FareHabor) providers. We do not hold credit card information.
Cookies – Like most websites, our site uses cookie technology. They remind us who you are and your preferences for our website based on what you’ve done and told us before. The “cookie” is saved to your computer and is read when you come back to our website. Cookies let us take you to the information and features you’re particularly interested in. They also let us track your usage of www.historicgeneva.org, so we know which parts of our site are most popular and what outside links brought you to our website. They keep track of items you have placed in your shopping cart. You can reject cookies or cancel them by instructing your web browser accordingly. Our online shopping cart won’t work if cookies are blocked.
Server log data – Our system collects server log data, which may include your IP address, the type of browser and operating system you used, the time of day you visited, the pages you viewed, and search requests. We use Google Analytics to aggregate this data and improve our website.
How Do We Use Your Information? – We do not sell, rent, exchange, or otherwise share email addresses or telephone numbers with any other organization except as required by law. However, if you choose to subscribe to our email list, we will use your address to periodically communicate with you about topics you might be interested in. If you purchase tickets or an item from our shop, we will use your email and other information submitted to send you the items you purchased. Personal information we collect is never sold or rented. If you wish to opt out of these exchanges, you may do so by contacting us at info@historicgeneva.org.
Email lists – If you sign up for one of our email lists, we’ll only send you the types of information you’ve requested. We won’t share your information with anyone outside of Historic Geneva. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Web forms or e-mail – Personally identifying information that you provide by e-mail or web forms will be used only for those purposes that are described at the point of collection, such as to send information to you or to respond to your questions or comments.
Links to Other Sites – historicgeneva.org includes links to external websites that may be of interest to you. Any links are provided only as a convenience and do not imply an endorsement of another site. Please note that Historic Geneva is not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites and that once you leave our site, our Privacy Policy does not apply. We encourage you to be aware of the policies of all sites that you visit.
Children and Privacy – We do not solicit personal information from children. Web visitors twelve years of age and under must obtain a parent or guardian’s permission before submitting personal information to any website. If your child has submitted personal information that you want removed, contact us at info@historicgeneva.org for immediate removal. Please note that any information voluntarily entered by a child twelve or under may be available to Historic Geneva until we are made aware that the user is under the age of thirteen and we have had the opportunity to remove it.
Security – To prevent unauthorized access and protect our users’ personal information, we try to keep your information secure and safeguard it from unauthorized access. However, no transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Although we make diligent efforts to safeguard your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of the information you transmit to us.
Policy Regarding User Comments – In some cases, we allow users to comment on content items that are published on this site. We welcome this opportunity to hear from our users, but we reserve the right to delete comments that are spam, obscene, pornographic, defamatory, harassing, threatening, or otherwise offensive.

Outside Vendors – We retain qualified third-party vendors to help manage our site. We require our vendors to maintain the security of the information to which they have access, and we restrict them from using the information in any way not expressly authorized by Historic Geneva.
