Privacy Statement

WEB SITE PRIVACY POLICY

Thank you for visiting the web site maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission including its National World War II Memorial Project. Our privacy policy is simple: We will collect no personal information about you during your visit to our web site unless you choose to provide that information to us.

You do not have to give us personal information to visit our site. We collect personally identifiable information (name, e-main address, mailing address, phone number, or other unique identifier) only if specifically and knowingly provided by you. Personally identifying information you provide will be used only for such purposes as described at the point of collection.

If you do nothing during your visit but browse through our web site, read pages, or download information, we will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store only the date and time you access our site and the pages you visit. We use this information to measure the number of visitors to our site and to learn the type of information that is of most interest to our visitors. We do not track nor record information about individuals and their visits.

If you send us personal information for the purposes of making a donation to a program administered by the American Battle Monuments Commission, we will use that information to properly and securely process your donation. The personal information you provide, with the exception of credit card information, will be retained in our database. The information will be used by us to provide information to you about the progress of the project to which you donated. We do not retain credit card information beyond the time required to process your donation through the U.S. Treasury, nor do we share credit card information with any other organization.

If you send us personal information for the purposes of enrolling yourself or someone else in the World War II Registry of Remembrances, we will use that information to properly process your enrollment and to provide you, if requested, with a Certificate of Enrollment. The personal information you provide will be retained in the Registry of Remembrances database and will be accessible by members of the public who visit the World War II Registry at the memorial site or through this web site. The information gathered from you for the Registry of Remembrances and accessible to the public is limited to the honoree's name, hometown, military service branch (if appropriate), and a brief description of wartime activity; and the submitter's name and relationship to the honoree.

If you send us personal information for purposes other than making a donation or enrolling yourself or someone else in the World War II Registry of Remembrances, we will use that information to respond properly to your request. We are required to file our documents, but will not use any of that personal information for any purpose other than the response made to your request. We provide other government agencies that personal information only if that agency is required to respond to your request, or if otherwise required by law. We do not furnish that personal information to private or commercial organizations.
