Privacy Policy

We do not require users to create an account to browse our museum directory. You can explore our state-by-state guides, collection highlights, and landmark features without registering or providing any personal details. The site is designed to be an open editorial resource for anyone interested in American cultural institutions.

As you navigate the site, we may collect non-identifiable information such as browser type, time spent on individual pages, and general geographic region. This helps us understand which museum profiles are most useful, where our readers are located, and how the site performs across different devices. We use this information to improve site speed, fix layout issues, and prioritize which institutions to feature next.

If you contact us via email to suggest a museum, report an error, or ask a question, we collect your name and email address solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add your email to a marketing list, and we do not share contact details with third parties. Once your inquiry is resolved, we retain the correspondence only as long as needed for record-keeping purposes.

Our website contains links to external museum websites, ticketing platforms, and official government archives. These links are provided as a convenience so you can verify hours, purchase tickets, or access primary source materials directly from the institution. American Museum Hub is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites.

Once you follow a link to an external site, you are subject to that site's own terms and privacy policy. Some museum sites may collect names, email addresses, or payment information for membership or ticketing purposes. We encourage users to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information before submitting personal details.

We periodically review the external links on our directory to confirm they still point to active, relevant institutional pages. If you encounter a broken link or a redirected page that no longer represents the museum we described, please contact us so we can update the reference.

We implement standard security measures to protect against the unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction of data. These measures include server-side access controls, routine software updates, and monitoring for unusual activity. Because our site does not process payments or store sensitive financial data, the scope of information at risk is limited to the email correspondence described in Section 01.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If a data breach were to occur, we would notify affected users by email and post a notice on this page describing what happened and what steps we are taking in response.

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When changes are made, the "Last Updated" date at the bottom of the page will be revised. We recommend that visitors review this page periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting their data.

If we make a material change to how we collect, use, or share personal information, we will also post a visible notice on the home page for at least 30 days. Minor edits to wording, formatting, or organizational details will be reflected in the updated date without a separate notice.

For a record of how we handle cookies specifically, please review our Cookie Policy. For the terms governing site usage, see our Terms of Service.
