Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 7, 2024
At Petersen Automotive Museum Foundation (“Petersen Automotive Museum,” “PAM,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) we recognize that privacy is important, and we are committed to protecting your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to the website https://petersendrive.com/ (“Website”) and any related mobile applications.
1. Collecting and Using Your Personal Information
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and manage personal information, which means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. Personal information does not include aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data. Below are the main categories of information we may collect from or about you:
Types of Information Collected:
Personal Identifiers
When you interact with our Website or mobile applications, you may be asked to provide basic identifying details. These include your first and last name, email address, telephone number, and physical or mailing address. We collect this information when you register for services, subscribe to newsletters, or otherwise choose to share your details with us.
Correspondence Records
We may maintain records of your communications with us, such as emails, inquiries submitted through online forms, or support requests. These records help us respond effectively to your questions and improve our customer support.
Technical and Usage Information
When you access our Website or App, certain information is collected automatically about your device and how you use our services. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, mobile device identifiers, access times, pages visited, and referring websites. Collectively, we call this "Usage Data." We use Usage Data to analyze trends, administer our platforms, and enhance user experience.
Single Sign-On (SSO) & Unified Accounts
We provide multiple signup options for your convenience, including:
- Google SSO – Sign in quickly using your Google account.
- Facebook SSO – Access through your Facebook profile.
- Email & Password – Traditional account creation with your email address.
Regardless of the signup method chosen, all accounts are unified under a single profile. This means that if you sign up with Google, Facebook, or email, your account data, preferences, and activity statistics will be linked and synchronized. You will not have multiple separate profiles — instead, you will always have one common profile to manage your information and access your personalized experience across our platform.
Usage Data
Automatically collected when using the Website or App, including but not limited to device specifics, browsing behavior, timestamps, and diagnostics.
2. Tracking Technologies and Cookies
We use cookies to enhance our services—authenticate users, save preferences, analyze engagement, personalize content. You can manage cookies via your browser settings; disabling certain cookies may limit functionality.
3. Use & Sharing of Your Personal Information
Your data supports service provision, transaction processing, admin communications, notifications, trend analysis, and fraud prevention. We may share data with trusted service providers, during business transfers, with affiliates, or when legally compelled.
4. Retention, Transfer & Security
We retain data as needed to fulfill obligations, comply with law, resolve disputes, or refine security and usability. Cross-border transfers may occur (e.g., U.S., EEA), subject to relevant protections.
While we use strong safeguards, no digital method is completely secure. Breach notifications may be shared through our channels.
5. User Rights, Opt-Out & “Do Not Track”
You may request, correct, delete, or restrict your data. California and Nevada residents have additional opt-out rights; we currently do not sell personal info. “Do Not Track” signals are not honored automatically.
6. Children’s Privacy & External Links
Minors under 16 are not our audience, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. We may link to external sites; their policies apply separately.
7. Policy Changes
Privacy Policy updates are posted with revisions. Notifications may appear via email or on-site announcements.
