The Manitoba Museum respects the privacy of its Web site visitors and will protect that privacy as much as possible.

The Manitoba Museum does not collect information that personally identifies individuals except when individuals provide such specific information on a voluntary basis.

The Manitoba Museum will collect only information that is voluntarily provided by the user and undertakes that such information will be kept strictly confidential. Individual information provided to The Manitoba Museum to gain access to any feature of our site will not be sold or made available to a third party.

The Manitoba Museum does reserve the right, however, to perform statistical analyses of user behaviour and characteristics, in order to measure interest in and use of various sections of our site, so as to improve design and navigation and to gather marketing information. Only data aggregated from these analyses, not individual data, will be used for this purpose.

As well, users should be aware that certain non-personal information and data might be automatically collected by The Manitoba Museum through the operation of what are called 'cookies.' Cookies are small text files that identify an individual computer's browser entering a Web site. They allow the site to track that browser's movement through the site over several sessions. Through cookies, a Web site can recognize repeat users, facilitate the user's access to and use of the site and allow a site to track usage behaviour that will allow content improvements. The Manitoba Museum uses cookies only for the above-mentioned purposes and will not use them to identify users or to track non-Museum usage.
