Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 1, 2026
The Knox County Agricultural Museum("we," "us" or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website and how we use it.
Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you contact us, sign up for updates or inquire about a donation, we may collect your name, email address, mailing address, phone number and any message you send.
Donations. You can support the museum by mailed check or by giving online. Online card and bank payments are processed securely by Stripe, our third-party payment processor, under its own privacy policy. Stripe handles your card or bank details directly, so we never see or store your full card or bank account number. We do not collect payment-card information through this website ourselves.
Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, our analytics provider automatically collects standard technical information such as your device and browser type, approximate (city-level) location, the pages you view and how you reached our site. This information is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
Respond to your questions and requests
Acknowledge donations and send receipts
Send updates about the museum when you ask to receive them
Understand how our website is used and improve it
We do not sell or rent your personal information.
Cookies and Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it. Google Analytics sets cookies and similar technologies to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data, such as which pages are visited and how long visitors stay. We have not enabled Google's advertising features, and we do not use this data to identify individual visitors. Google processes this information under its own privacy policy.
Sharing Your Information
We share information only with the service providers that help us operate the website and communicate with you, such as our email provider, our website analytics provider (Google Analytics) and our payment processor (Stripe). These providers may use your information only to perform services for us. We may also disclose information if required by law.
Your Choices
You can ask us to update or delete the information we have about you. To make a request, contact us.
You can also opt out of analytics. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, and you can install Google's official opt-out browser add-on to prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data. We also honor your browser's "Do Not Track" preference where supported.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information you share with us against loss, misuse and unauthorized access, and information submitted through our website is transmitted over an encrypted connection. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
Our site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised.
