PRIVACY POLICY & TERMS OF USE

At Orlando Science Center (OSC), we are committed to protecting your privacy online.


What information do we collect online? How do we use it?

If you are 12 years of age or younger, we do not want your personal information. Please do not submit any personal information to us. If you are 12 years of age or younger and want to register online for one of our camp classes, the online registration must be completed for you by an adult (parent, guardian, etc.) who will give us your personal information; we cannot collect personal information directly from those 12 years of age or younger.

For visitors 13 years of age and older:

  • When you enter a contest or other promotional feature, we may ask for your name, address, and email address so we can administer the contest and notify winners.
  • If you have given us express permission to do so we may also use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about important additions or changes to the Orlando Science Center, or the Website, new services, and special offers we think you'll find valuable.
  • If you register online for a camp/class, we may need to know (when relevant) your name, email address, mailing address, daytime and evening telephone numbers, credit card number and expiration date, gender, birth date, school grade, and any special needs that you might have when visiting our center. This allows us to process and fulfill your reservation or registration.
  • If you express interest in receiving email news updates or mobile news updates from us, we may ask for your name, address, email address and cell phone number so we can distribute the news updates to you.
  • If you use one of our email information services to email us a question or comment about science or the Orlando Science Center, you are providing us with your email address, which we will use to respond to your inquiry.

How does OSC protect your online information?

When you initiate a purchase through the Orlando Science Center website, you will be redirected to Tessitura Network, one of the leading online merchants for museums and cultural centers in the nation, who handles online purchases on Orlando Science Center's behalf. You are protected by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, utilized by many popular browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer. Your credit card information, as well as your personal information, is converted into tiny bits of encrypted code that cannot be read by others during transmission. Their servers use this SSL technology to protect your information. These safeguards make your transaction safe and reliable. Please review Tessitura's Privacy Policy for more information.


Do you use "cookies"?

Why do you need my billing information and my email address?

To purchase tickets online, you must provide your billing information and a valid email address to verify your identity and receive your tickets. We require a billing address to limit the risk of fraud and/or identity theft.


Will the collected information be disclosed to outside parties?

We want to be very clear: We do not obtain personal information about you other than that which you choose to provide, and we will not sell, rent, trade or otherwise disclose the personal information you provide to anyone outside ofthe Orlando Science Center, except that we will share the personal information you provide us with other third parties in those specific instances where you have expressly agreed for us to do so.
