Privacy policy.

What we collect

We collect personal information you give us directly — your name, email, mailing address, and any other details you provide on a membership form, donation form, research request, or event registration.

We collect basic technical information when you visit the site — the page you viewed, your browser type, your approximate location (city-level), and the time of your visit. We use this only to understand how the site is used and to improve it.

What we don’t do

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not share your contact information with other organizations for their marketing.

How we use your information

To process memberships, donations, and event registrations. To respond to research requests and inquiries. To send you the communications you have asked to receive — the magazine, program announcements, and renewal reminders. To recognize your support, only with your explicit permission.

Payment information

Credit card and bank information is processed by our payment provider. The Filson does not store full payment details on our own servers.

Cookies

The site uses a small number of cookies to remember your session and to measure aggregate traffic patterns. You can disable cookies in your browser; the site will still work, though some features (logged-in member area, saved-cart) may not.

Your choices

You can update your contact preferences, request a copy of the information we hold about you, or ask us to delete it — at any time, by writing to info@filsonhistorical.com.

Children

Our site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Updates to this policy

We will post any material change to this policy on this page, with a revised “last updated” date.
