Privacy Policy for Offline Use
This notice supplements CPC’s Online Privacy Policy and further describes our practices for protecting personal information.
Data Collection
When You Shop at the Dairy Visitor Center and Gift Shop
The CPC will ask you to provide personally identifiable information necessary to fulfill your order request. This may include your name, billing and shipping postal addresses, telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card number.
When You Make a Donation or Purchase a Membership or Event Ticket/Table
When making a donation and or purchasing a membership, you will be asked to provide personally identifiable information necessary to process and service your request. This may include your name, billing and shipping postal addresses, membership number, telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card number.
When You Sign Up for a Volunteer Activity
When you register to be a volunteer, we will request your phone number in order to contact you for a phone-interview. Should you participate further in the volunteer recruitment process, CPC will request that you appear in person for an additional interview and you will be required to complete an application, including your name, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address, and photo ID.
Use of Information
Internal Use
- We will use your personally identifiable information in order to respond to your request, process your contribution or fulfill your online order.
- We may use your information to inform you of events, send you CPC newsletters, request monetary contributions, and send you promotions and updates about the Park.
- From time to time, the CPC will send surveys. Unless we inform you otherwise, your voluntary participation in these surveys is completely anonymous. We use the information gathered from the surveys to better understand our donors, members and friends and determine how best to serve them.
External Use
- Third Party Vendors: The CPC may engage third-party vendors in order to help us better service our visitors and customers. The CPC requires its vendors by contract to maintain the confidentiality and security of CPC information to which they are provided access and restricts the vendors from using the information in any way not expressly authorized by the CPC.
- Sharing CPC’s List of Supporters: The CPC may, on occasion, share the name and the address of inactive members and supporters with other like-minded organizations. Exchanging our list with other reputable charitable organizations is the most cost effective way to find new supporters. As part of CPC’s exchange policy, other organizations will have access to a shared list for a limited time and will not have continued access to CPC’s list unless an individual voluntarily chooses to respond to their initial mailing. If you prefer not to have your name and address shared in this way, you may request to have your information removed from a shared list at any time by contacting membership@centralparknyc.org, or calling 212-310-6607. You will also have regular opportunities to “opt-out” by checking the appropriate box or following the instructions located on solicitation materials.
Please note: CPC does not rent or sell donor lists. Active members/donors are always deleted from all shared lists. CPC never shares the information we receive from customers making an online purchase from the Central Park Store.
- Marketing: We have relationships with companies that conduct charitable sales promotions and commercial co-ventures that support us in our mission and activities. If you provide us with your mailing address and or e-mail address, you may receive promotional mailings regarding these co-ventures. Your choice to participate in these special promotions will benefit us. You are under no obligation to respond and you may “opt out” of receiving promotional mailings and e-mails at any time by emailing website@centralparknyc.org, changing your user profile online, or calling 212-310-6600.
Your Options
We recognize that you may wish to limit the ways in which we contact you and use your information. CPC offers the following options:
- Opt out of receiving e-mails: If you are a registered user, you may review, correct, update, or change your profile including personally identifiable information at any time by clicking on the “login” button located at the top of CPC’s Web site and following the guided instructions. In addition, you may “opt out” by emailing website@centralparknyc.org, calling 212-310-6600 or following the unsubscribe instructions included in the e-mail message.
- Opt out of receiving telephone calls or postal mailings from CPC: You may contact us at anytime by emailing website@centralparknyc.org, or calling 212-310-6600 and letting us know that you would not like to be contacted by telephone or mail.
- Opt out of having your name and postal address shared with other organizations: You may request to have your information removed from a shared list at any time by contacting membership@centralparknyc.org, or calling 212-310-6607. You will also have regular opportunities to “opt-out” by checking the appropriate box or following the instructions listed on CPC’s solicitation materials.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to protect and secure the information we collect.
