Privacy Statement

Your privacy is important to us. To protect your privacy we provide this notice to explain our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way information about you is collected and used.

Our Commitment to Privacy

The Audain Art Museum (AAM) is subject to the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) of British Columbia as well as other applicable privacy legislation. The AAM is committed to protecting the privacy of our customers, volunteers, vendors, and employees. It is the AAM’s goal to not only meet the requirements of this legislation, but to exceed the requirements by implementing “best practices” with respect to the collection, use, disclosure, and security of the personal information in our custody and control.

The AAM also requires our third-party service providers to demonstrate full compliance with our privacy obligations, principles and processes

The AAM only collects personal information as supplied by our customers, vendors, volunteers, and employees in support of the programs and services provided. Only that information which relates directly to, and is necessary for, the operation of our programs is collected. We do not collect personal information unlawfully or unfairly. In most circumstances, we only collect personal information directly from the relevant individual. Indirect collection occurs only in very limited and specific circumstances, or as required by law

Collected personal information will only be used by authorized AAM staff, to fulfill the purpose for which it was originally collected, for specific purposes if directed by the individual from whom the personal information is being collected, or for a use consistent with the original purpose.

The AAM does not sell, share, or disclose your information to others for any type of mailing list.

The AAM, its employees and service providers administer the highest security standards to ensure that the personal information in their custody and/or control is secured at all times. Physical and technical security of all data (including all data at rest or in transit) must meet all applicable security standards required by their organization.
