Privacy Policy
The Pulitzer Arts Foundation (the “Pulitzer”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors. This privacy policy governs the way we collect and use information both online and offline, including at pulitzerarts.wpengine.com and its subdomains, websites accessed through your mobile devices as well as downloadable mobile applications (“Websites”). A link to this policy is included in the footer information on every page of the Websites. Your use of the Websites or provision of personal information to the Pulitzer as described below constitutes your agreement to the terms of this privacy policy.
Cookies and Pixel Tags
The Websites use technologies such as “cookies” and “pixel tags” to improve the functioning of our website and your experience. Cookies are small data files that are automatically sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies enable us to personalize your experience. “Pixel tags” are tiny graphical images embedded in webpages. Pixel tags are used to determine what parts of a website a visitor has viewed. These technologies do not contain any personal information about you; they are used to gather information to analyze traffic to the Websites, to improve our content and navigation, to enhance our marketing efforts, and to personalize your experience.
The Museum also works with third-party analytics and marketing partners who use technologies such as cookies and pixel tags on our behalf. For details, see Third-Party Service Providers.

How We Collect and Use the Information You Provide
We collect and use the information you provide to personalize the Websites so that we can better meet your needs, fulfill your online order, facilitate customer service, inform you of products and promotional offers, analyze trends and collect statistics. We maintain the data that you provide, in secure databases. Our collection and use of visitor information varies with the type of visit or transaction. For details about each transaction type, see When You Register, When You Purchase a Catalogue or Tickets to an Event, or When You Complete a Survey.
When You Complete a Survey
The Pulitzer occasionally asks for feedback and publishes surveys on the Websites or through a reputable third-party service provider. Your participation in these surveys is on a voluntary and anonymous basis, unless otherwise specified. We use the survey responses to improve our understanding of you, our visitors, and to determine how best to serve your needs. Information collected in these surveys is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
When You Purchase a Catalogue or Tickets to an Event
We use Stripe for settlement of all online sales. The personal information you provide to Stripe is necessary to fulfill your online order; this may include your name, address, telephone number, email address, and credit card number. This information does not reside on our servers, but resides on Stripe’s servers. Stripe sends us confirmation of the sale including your name and address, which we use for shipment purposes. We do not use this information for any other purpose. The Stripe User Agreement, Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and Electronic Communications Delivery Policy (E-sign Disclosure and Consent) can be found at stripe.com.

Third-Party Service Providers
Pulitzer engages reputable third-party vendors in order to help us manage the Websites, process transactions, better respond to the needs of our visitors, and enhance our marketing efforts. This includes third-party analytics vendors such as Google Analytics and other marketing partners. We and our third-party vendors or partners use analytics data for a variety of purposes such as to improve the design and content of our Websites, to help us learn things like what pages are most attractive to all of our visitors and what exhibitions and programs visitors are interested in, and to gauge the success of our advertising and marketing campaigns.
Pulitzer requires its vendors to maintain the confidentiality of the information to which they are provided access, and restricts these vendors from using or disclosing the information in any way without express authorization by the Pulitzer.
