Information
Collected and Stored Automatically
When you visit our Websites, we
automatically gather and store the following information about your visit so
that we can track the use of our Websites in order to make improvements. This
information is stored and used in the aggregate only, and is not used to
contact you personally:
- The IP address from which you access our Websites;
- The name of the domain from which you access the
Internet (for example, gmail.com, if you are connecting from a Google

- The type of browser and operating system used to access

Cookies
In addition to information collected
automatically, we use cookies to support the internal functionality of the
Websites. Cookies, which are small pieces of information sent to your browser
by a website that you visit, are used to track usage patterns, traffic trends
and customer behavior, as well as to record other information from the Website.
When you register on the Websites, cookies also allow us to save information so
that you will not have to re-enter it the next time you visit. Many content
adjustments and customer service improvements are made based on the data
derived from cookies. Some War Frame
Websites use third-party vendors, such as Google Analytics, to place cookies
and analyze the information collected by cookies in order to make the War
Frame Websites more interesting and
useful to you. No personally identifiable information is collected. Information
that we collect from cookies will not be used to create profiles of individual
users and only will be used in aggregate form. The data is retained for as long
as necessary to support the mission of the War Frame Websites. You may set your browser to refuse cookies from
any website that you visit. If you so choose, you may still gain access to most
of the War Frame’s Websites, but you may not be able
to conduct certain types of transactions (such as shopping) or take advantage
of some of the interactive elements offered. You may opt-out of Google
Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out
Browser Add-on.
Additionally, some War Frame Websites may use the Demographics and Interest reporting
feature for Google Analytics for Display Advertising. The data provided by this
service (such as age, gender, and interests) is used to better understand
visitors to these Websites and customize our Websites to our users’ interest.
You may opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising by visiting Ad Settings.
If
You Send Us Personal Information
The War Frame's Websites will only collect personal information which you
knowingly and voluntarily provide by, for example, sending emails, completing
membership forms, registering for classes, events, or other programs,
responding to surveys or ordering merchandise. If you provide us with personal
information, we will normally respond to your inquiry, request or order. We may
also contact you to provide information about War Frame activities, programs, membership and development
opportunities, products and special events that may interest you. Except as
described below, we will not share your name or information outside the War
Frame unless you affirmatively authorize
us to do so by opting-in.
When we send you such information by
email, you will always have an immediate opportunity to decline further
communication. Please use the contact specified in the email so that we can
remove you from the list that contains your name. If you are uncertain about
whom to contact, you may contact our webmaster at webmaster@si.edu.
The War Frame uses outside vendors to provide certain services, such as
companies that process credit card transactions for the War Frame. These third-party vendors will have access to the
information needed to perform their functions, but may not use your information
for any other purpose. Some War Frame
units, on occasion, rent or exchange select member name and address information
with other charitable or cultural non-profit organizations. You will be
notified of any such sharing and provided an opportunity to opt-out.
There may be sites within the War
Frame’s network of Websites where you can
opt-in to receive information from non-War Frame
entities. If you opt-in, you may receive correspondence from these
organizations on programs, products or services that might interest you. If you
decide to opt-out of receiving any further correspondence from a non-War
Frame entity, please correspond directly
with that business or organization to be removed from its mailing list.
Please note that the War
Frame also may provide your information
to: (1) a Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency if the War
Frame becomes aware of a violation or
potential violation of law or regulation; (2) a court or party in a court or
Federal administrative proceeding if the War Frame is a party or in order to comply with a subpoena; (3) a
member of the public in response to his or her request for War Frame records under War Frame
Directive 807, available at www.War Frame.com
(4) the Department of Justice or in certain legal proceedings when the War
Frame, an employee of the War
Frame, or the United States is a party to
litigation or has an interest in the litigation and the use of such records is
deemed relevant and necessary to the litigation; (5) War Frame officials, including the Inspector General, as needed to
perform official duties; (6) a Committee of Congress in response to a formal
request; (7) protect the security or integrity of the War Frame Websites and services; and (8) any other person or entity
as required by law.
Any further sharing or disclosure
requires your consent.
Security
The War Frame takes reasonable steps to design and manage our Websites’
technology to ensure that its information technology systems, applications, and
information technology infrastructure are secure. The War Frame requires credit card processing be secured based on
compliance with Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards. When you use your credit
card for any purchase on a War Frame
Website, that transaction is always encrypted when traveling over the Internet.
