The Shed Platform and content, and Our privacy practices, may change over time and, accordingly, We reserve the right, in Our sole discretion, to change, add or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. If We change this Privacy Policy, We will post the revised document here and such revised Privacy Policy will be effective immediately upon that posting. If such revised Privacy Policy includes material changes, We will notify you of such material changes by posting an alert on the Shed Platform with a link to the revised Privacy Policy.

4. Cookies.
Cookies and pixels are small files of information that are stored on your computer’s hard drive by your web browser. We may use cookies or pixels on the Shed Platform to track visitor behavior and provide a customized experience. We may contract with third parties who use cookies and other online tracking technologies to collect information on Our behalf, and the third parties may use the information collected to send retargeted advertisements to visitors of the Shed Platform. These parties are required to maintain the confidentiality of this information.

5. Security.
We may implement various security measures to help protect your information and reduce the risk of loss, misuse or alteration of information under Our control. Unfortunately, however, no data security measure can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while We strive to protect your information, We cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to or from the Shed Platform, and you do so at your own risk.
6. Retention.
We retain the information you provide to Us until you ask to be removed from Our database. When you request to be removed from Our database, you will no longer receive e-mails from Us, but the information that you have provided to Us will remain in Our database and you may still receive other of Our mailings at your physical address. If you would like to be removed from both Our database and Our physical address mailing list, please see Section 7 below. Please note that when information is removed from Our databases it may continue to exist in backup archives maintained by Us.

If you no longer wish to subscribe to Our online mailings or would like to change your e-mail preferences, you may do so at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any e-mail you receive from Us. You may also remove your name from Our database, and e-mail and physical address mailing lists, or remove your name from postal mailing lists shared with Our partners and other arts organizations, by contacting us at info@theshed.org with the subject line “Personal Information.” Please be advised that sometimes these requests may take time to process.
