Cookies

When you visit The Contemporary Museum site, we place a text file called a “cookie” in the browser directory of your computer’s hard drive.  A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can store on your web browser and later retrieve.  Cookies are placed on your computer to collect aggregate information for site traffic analysis.  This information helps The Contemporary Museum monitor how you and other visitors use the site, enabling us to provide optimal experience and better service. 

The cookie cannot be read by any website other than the website that set up the cookie. The information collected is never used to identify you personally. We do NOT use cookies to examine your surfing behavior before or after leaving our site.

The Collection of Information

If you use this website to request services or information, we may request personally identifiable information from you in order to respond to your request.  You may choose not to provide this information. Should you choose not to provide the information, we will be unable to respond to your request unless you visit The Contemporary Museum in person or contact the museum by phone.

Any personally identifiable information voluntarily provided by you will be used for the purpose(s) for which the information was provided and may be shared with The Contemporary Museum’s various subsidiaries, affiliates and any necessary payment processors.  Your personally identifiable information will not be disclosed or used for purposes other than those specified without your consent, except as authorized by law.

Please note that the fact that information provided by you is personally identifiable does not mean that it will remain private in all circumstances.  Personally identifiable information maintained by the government is a “government record” as defined and used in Chapter 92F, Hawaii Revised Statues. Access, including public access, to government records is controlled primarily by Chapter 92F, Hawaii Revised Statutes.  In addition, there may be other laws that require public access to personally identifiable information.  For example, personally identifiable information contained in certain documents submitted to the Documents Registration Branch of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs is accessible by the public.

The Museum occasionally posts surveys on its website.  Your participation in these surveys is on a completely voluntary and anonymous basis unless we inform you otherwise.  Information collected in our surveys is never shared, rented or sold to third parties for marketing purposes. We will use the information in the responses to the survey to understand our visitors better and to determine how best to serve them.
