This policy explains the information SpeechChips.com may receive when you visit the museum or send a contribution. We use submitted information to operate the site, respond to visitors, and preserve the history of electronic speech.
Information you submit
The contribution form may ask for your name, email address, location, a chip or machine name, details about an item, correction, or suggestion, credit preferences, links, and files you choose to upload. Please do not include sensitive personal information that is not needed for your message.
How submissions are used
We use submissions to reply, review corrections and suggestions, consider material for museum exhibits, arrange follow-up about offered hardware, and provide credit as you request. Submissions are reviewed and are not posted automatically. Uploaded files are displayed only when they have been reviewed and the submitter has confirmed permission to share them.
Storage and sharing
Submissions and uploaded files are stored with the services used to operate the museum. We do not sell or rent submitters’ email addresses. We share information only as needed to operate the site, respond to a request, protect the museum, or comply with law.
Site visits
The homepage maintains an aggregate visit counter. It records a total count and is not used to identify individual visitors. The site’s hosting and delivery services may process basic technical request information to deliver and protect the site.
Retention and requests
We keep submissions while they are being reviewed and as long as they remain useful to the museum’s records. To ask a question or request a correction or removal of information you submitted, use the Contact page.
Links to other sites
Museum pages may link to outside websites. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which apply when you visit them. Some eBay links use eBay Partner Network Smart Links. When you follow an eBay link, eBay and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to attribute a visit and any qualifying purchase to the museum. If you make a purchase, we may earn a commission that supports the collection. You can manage cookies in your browser settings; limiting cookies may affect purchase attribution. See eBay’s privacy information for details about its practices.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as the museum’s features or practices change. The date at the top indicates when it was last revised.
