Information We Collect

For each visitor to our web page, our web server does not automatically recognize any information regarding the domain or e-mail address.

We collect personal information that is voluntarily provided by visitors—such as when you make a donation, sign up for emails, complete a survey, or contact us directly. This may include your name, email address, postal address, and telephone number.

When donations are made through our embedded Donorbox forms, payment information (such as credit card details) is securely processed by Donorbox and its payment partner Stripe.

The Southern Ohio Museum itself does not collect, store, or have access to your full payment card details.
For more on their practices, please review Donorbox’s Privacy Policy and Stripe’s Privacy Policy.
