Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Privacy & Security Policy

Thank you for visiting the website of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. We know that you do not want the information you provide us shared indiscriminately and we are committed to ensuring the privacy and security of your personal and financial information.

The privacy policy set forth here refers solely to The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Please read it carefully, and if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.

Security
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum website offers you the convenience of making membership contributions and product purchases via credit card. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and our fulfillment agents, who support the Membership Contribution and the Shop pages, utilize industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to safeguard credit card account information and personally identifying information from your computer to our servers. Our online financial transaction forms are stored and served from secure servers. Your peace of mind and the safeguarding of your credit card information are top priorities for us.

Gathering and Disclosure of Information
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum will not sell, rent or trade any personal information about our online users to any third party without the user's permission, unless required by law. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum will not collect personally identifiable information, such as your name and mailing address or e-mail address unless it is knowingly provided by the individual. If you choose not to voluntarily submit requested information, you may not be able to engage in certain activities -- e.g., making membership contributions or purchasing items from the shop -- for which personally identifiable information is needed. Your credit card information will only be used as needed to process your transaction and we will maintain a copy of your order for our records.

Online Memberships
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum will use the email address you provide to update you on ongoing Museum programs and special offers and will not share this information with anyone else. We occasionally exchange some of our donors' names and postal addresses with carefully selected nonprofit cultural and educational organizations. When you make an online contribution, your name and postal address will be included as eligible for an exchange.

If you would like to check or update our record of your information, please let us know by sending an e-mail to membership@isgm.org, calling the member office (617-566-5643, Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm EST), or writing to us at:

Other Online Forms
Our online Volunteer Application and Press Image Request forms are provided as a convenience and do not use SSL security. We do not share any of the information from these forms with any third party, except as required by law.
