Last Updated: December 8, 2025
The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands (referred to in this policy as “Sunnylands”, “we,” and “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and providing a safe online experience for all of our users while offering the highest quality user experience.
Because we gather certain types of information about and from you in order to fulfill your requests and better serve your needs, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the collection and use of this information. This Privacy Policy discloses what information we may collect or that you may provide when you visit www.Sunnylands.org (“Website”), when you register for an event or purchase tickets, when you make purchases from our shop, when you volunteer with us, when you sign up for our newsletter, and when you apply to one of our programs, along with our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information. This Privacy Policy applies to individuals (“consumers” or “you”) whose personal information Sunnylands has collected. Any terms defined in the California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”), have the same meaning when used in this Policy.
Using Your Information
Depending on how you use the Website and interact with us offline, we may collect several types of information from you, including the following:
- Identifiers such as your name, email address, and IP address.
- Contact information, including your email address, mailing address and phone number.
- Internet or other similar network activity.
- Audiovisual information, including image or video recordings from security cameras, when you visit us.
- Your payment, billing, and shipping information when you make a purchase.
- Certain commercial information, such as your company’s name, for group or corporate events.
We collect this information directly from you, when you provide it to us, or automatically when you navigate our Website. We use automatic data collection technologies, such as cookies and web beacons, provided by service providers and third parties to collect information about your device, network activity, and browsing patterns on our Website. This information allows us to monitor the security of our Website and helps us improve the quality of your online experience. Some third-party tracking technologies on our Website may also collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services.
Disclosing Your Information
Sunnylands works with vendors, service providers, and other partners that help us present the Website and its contents to you by supplying services on our behalf. These services include, for example, sending emails, processing transactions, shipping products to you, and ensuring the security and integrity of the Website. While providing these services, our service providers may have access to your personal information. Sunnylands may also share Internet or other similar network activity information, such as your IP address or information regarding your interaction with our Website, with digital analytics platforms like Google, or other partners who directly support our promotional activities and Website development.
We may also disclose your personal information if we believe that it’s necessary (a) to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request; (b) to protect the rights, property, or safety of Sunnylands or any of our respective affiliates, business partners, customers, or others; (c) to fulfill the purpose for which you provide it; (d) for any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information; and/or (e) with your consent.
Your Choices
You may view, correct, or update personal information we maintain about you in connection with specific services by using the contact methods associated with each service. For example, when you sign up for an event or to receive our newsletter, you may request to view or correct the information collected about you during your registration by replying to the confirmation email. If you made a purchase through our online store, you may update your information directly through your Square account or using Square’s customer information tools. For ticket purchases, you may use the “Contact Us” link included in your confirmation email, which directs your inquiry to our reception team. You can also find this link at the bottom of our Website, where it will take you to a contact form. You can direct any other inquiries to us using this form. Please note that we may not be able to make a correction if we cannot confirm your identity or the accuracy of the information you ask us to change.
Our current practice is to not sell your personal information for monetary consideration, but we may disclose your information to third parties for business purposes, as described in this Privacy Policy. If your browser supports the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal, you can turn on the GPC signal to indicate your choice to opt out from certain types of data processing, including data sharing with third parties for analytics purposes. When we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices indicated by a GPC signal or similar control that is widely recognized as a valid opt-out preference signal.
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked, but this signal is not always straightforward. Our Website does not respond to browser DNT signals. Instead, you can use the GPC signal to control the processing and disclosure of your personal information for certain purposes.
Updates
From time to time, we may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, operations, or applicable law. If we materially change the Privacy Policy, we will notify you by posting the revised version on this page and updating the effective date at the top. Your continued use of our Website after we post any modifications indicates your acceptance of the updated Policy.
