This Privacy Policy covers Children's Museum of Franklin’s treatment of personally identifiable information that Children's Museum of Franklin collects when you are on the Children's Museum of Franklin web site ("Site"). If you choose to visit sites of other parties by clicking on the links we provide, this policy does not cover the treatment of personally identifiable information that may be collected by those web sites ("Third-Party Sites").

Information Collection and Use
Children's Museum of Franklin collects personally identifiable information including name, address, email address, phone number, ticket type, and event information when you register. Children's Museum of Franklin may collect information from your browser including browser type, browser version, browser settings, operating system, pages visited, your IP Address, and Cookies.

Children under the age of 13 are prohibited from submitting personal information to Children's Museum of Franklin. Federal Law prohibits web sites from collecting and/or distributing personal information from children without parental consent. At this time, Children's Museum of Franklin has no effective means to obtain and track parental consent. Therefore, Children's Museum of Franklin must prohibit the submission of personal information from children under the age of 13.

RELEASE & WAIVER OF LIABILITY
In consideration of entering Children's Museum of Franklin (“CMF”) events and any participating host venue and being allowed to participate in CMF related activities (the “Activities”), the individual filling out this form and anyone accompanying them to the event (including adults and children) (hereinafter referred to as “I” or “my”) agrees to voluntarily assume all risk, including risk of personal injury -- including death -- or illness, the risk of exposure to communicable diseases including COVID-19, and the risk of lost, stolen, or damaged property, or other loss arising from or related to my entry into CMF events and participation in any Activities.  In addition, I agree that CMF and its employees, volunteers, host venues, subcontractors, sponsors, agents, and affiliates (collectively, the “Releasees”) will not be responsible for any present or future claims for any such injury, illness, death, property damage, or other loss, even if caused by any of their negligence or otherwise.  I understand and agree that CMF is released and discharged from all such liability to the fullest extent of the law.

I understand that entry into CMF events and participation in the Activities involves certain inherent risks (the “Risks”), including but not limited to serious injury, illness (or death), property damage, or other loss. I understand and acknowledge that the potential Risks from being at CMF events and participating in the Activities include but are not limited to the following:

1. Contact or collision with other people or objects, including but not limited to falling off any structures,

2. Stolen or damaged property,

3. Fire,

4. Lost child,

5. Dysfunction of equipment, structures, displays, and

6. Illness from exposure to communicable diseases.

Knowing the Risks, I understand that if I am an adult accompanying a child at CMF events, I am responsible for staying in the same room as the child and ensuring the child’s safety at all times.

I knowingly assume all of the Risks and take full responsibility for any and all damages, liabilities, losses, or expenses that I, or someone on my behalf, may incur as a result of my entry to CMF events and participation in the Activities.  I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees for all claims arising out of my presence at CMF events and participation in the Activities. I also understand that this document is a contract that eliminates the liability of Releasees.

I understand and agree that this Waiver of Liability is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and agree that if any portion of this Agreement is invalid, the remainder will continue in full force and effect.

PUBLICITY RELEASE & WAIVER
I understand that Children's Museum of Franklin ("CMF") periodically films, photographs, and/or records visitors for educational and/or promotional uses, including but not limited to, for posting on the CMF website and social media platforms. I agree to be filmed, photographed, and/or recorded, as indicated below, OR I agree to take on the responsibility of obtaining a sticker from CMF Registration Staff, which I agree to wear as a sign to CMF and their agents not to photograph, film, or record me during my visit.

If I do not obtain and wear such a sticker, in exchange for my opportunity to participate in CMF activities, I grant permission to CMF and its agents and employees the irrevocable and unrestricted right to reproduce, in any manner and medium, any photographs, recordings, and/or video images taken of me for CMF’s purpose of education, publication, promotion, or advertising.  I hereby release CMF and its agents and employees for all claims and liability relating to and/or arising out of the use of said images or video.  Furthermore, I grant permission to use any statement that I may give to CMF or its agents or employees during an interview, with or without my name, for the purpose of education, publication, promotion, or advertising without restriction.  I waive my right to prior review of any use of the material and to any compensation.  I understand and agree that this Publicity Release & Waiver constitutes the entire agreement on the subject and is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  I further agree that if any portion of this Agreement is invalid, the remainder will continue in full force and effect.

CANCELLATION OF REGISTRATION
