This policy describes how The People's Folk Art Museum handles information. It is written in plain language on purpose.
Who we are
This Privacy Policy explains how The People's Folk Art Museum, operated by Danny Allgaier, Kansas City, Missouri, USA, handles information when you use the Site. Last updated: November 2026. The project is not a registered nonprofit. Questions or requests: hello@peoplesfolkartmuseum.org.
We do not create accounts on this Site
You can visit the Site without making an account with us. We do not run our own member database or login system. If you post on the community board, you sign in with a free GitHub account through Giscus. That sign-in is handled by GitHub, not by us, and your email is not shown on the Site.
Hosting logs
The Site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like most hosts, Cloudflare may collect standard technical logs when you visit — for example, your IP address, browser type, date and time, and the pages you request — in order to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Site. We do not use those logs to sell you anything or to build an advertising profile.
Comments (Giscus and GitHub)
Community comments are powered by Giscus and stored as GitHub Discussions in a repository we control. What you post, and the account information GitHub associates with it, is also governed by GitHub’s privacy policy and terms. We may read, moderate, or remove comments on the board. You can often edit or delete your own comments through GitHub. You may also write to us and ask for help.
Donations and payments
If you donate, payment is handled by a third-party processor such as PayPal, and later perhaps Ko-fi, Venmo, or Cash App. We never see your full card number, bank password, or similar payment details. The processor’s privacy policy and terms apply to the payment itself. We may receive your name, the amount, a date, and any note you choose to send, so we can thank you and keep honest records of how gifts are used.
Forms and submissions
If we use a Google Form (for example, to receive museum submissions or a message), Google will process what you send under Google’s privacy policy. We use that information only to review your message or work, to contact you about it, and — if a piece is accepted — to display it with the credit and story you provide.
Analytics
We may later add a privacy-friendly analytics tool (a tool that helps us understand general traffic, without advertising cookies and without selling your data). If we do, we will name it on this page. We do not currently use advertising networks or tracking pixels.
Cookies
The Site itself does not set advertising cookies. Cloudflare, GitHub, Giscus, payment processors, or Google Forms may set cookies or similar technologies that they need to provide their service, especially if you sign in, comment, donate, or submit a form. You can control cookies in your browser.
We do not sell your data
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it for advertising. We share information only with the service providers named above, as needed to run the Site, or if the law requires us to.
Children
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us personal information, please write to us and we will delete it.
Your requests, including deletion
You may write to hello@peoplesfolkartmuseum.org to ask what information we have about you, or to ask us to correct or delete it. For comments posted through GitHub, you may also manage them in your GitHub account. We will help as we reasonably can. We may keep a limited record if we must, for example to complete a refund, to show we respected a removal request, or as the law requires.
Changes
We may update this policy as the project grows. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. The current version will always be posted on this page.
