Like most website operators, the Johnson Center collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The Johnson Center also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users who register on our site. The Johnson Center only discloses logged in user IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
Like any other website, the Johnson Center uses ‘cookies’. These cookies are used to store information including visitors’ preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users’ experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors’ browser type and/or other information.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

We keep contact form submissions for one year for customer service purposes, but we do not use the information submitted through them for marketing purposes.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

We share information with third parties who help us provide our orders and store services to you; for example — GVSU’s payment gateway.
We accept payments through the GVSU payment gateway. When processing payments, some of your data will be passed to GVSU’s payment gateway, including information required to process or support the payment, such as the purchase total.
