Visitor trust is part of the museum.

Responsible organization

Seoul Bible Museum is a permanent online museum program owned and operated by CrossCulture Community Foundation (CCF); it is not a separate legal entity. CCF is a Texas nonprofit recognized as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3), EIN 84-2974290. Work in Korea is supported through CrossCulture Community (CC), a Korean nonprofit unincorporated association (비영리 비법인단체), business registration no. 602-80-07169. CC is not a Korean nonprofit corporation or tax-deductible organization.

Information collected

When public recruitment opens, the research interview is expected to collect age range, citizenship, places and duration of residence, primary and secondary languages, participant-selected experience groups, interview answers, and consent choices. It will not request a name, email address, telephone number, or exact street address. Anonymous quotation will be considered only when the participant separately permits it. No submissions will be accepted until the final retention/deletion schedule and administrator controls are complete. If you contact the project through an email link, the email provider processes the message and address.

Former CC membership application records

Seoul Bible Museum no longer accepts organizational membership applications. Information previously submitted through this site may include a name, email address, telephone number, citizenship, country of residence, optional city and referral source, and agreement records. Those records remain in a private Cloudflare D1 database accessible only to an authorized administrator. Contact the email below to request correction, withdrawal, deletion, or confirmation of their status. These records are not combined with donation records and are not sold.

Research-interview retention

When submissions open, interviews will be retained until the museum reaches 50 qualifying participants in each research group, or for a maximum of 24 months after submission, whichever occurs first. One participant may qualify for more than one group. After the applicable milestone is reached, the museum will have 90 days to complete its initial analysis. Participants may request deletion at any time. Afterward, identifiable or potentially identifying interview records will be deleted unless the participant gives renewed permission for longer retention.

Advertising and analytics

The museum does not display third-party commercial advertisements, sell ad space, or share visitor data with commercial ad networks.

The museum uses Google Analytics 4 to collect aggregated information about how visitors navigate and interact with the exhibits, including pages visited, session duration, general geographic region, device and browser type, and the referring site. GA4 assigns a randomly generated identifier to each browser, which makes this data pseudonymous rather than anonymous.

GA4 also records an event when a visitor selects an explicit email-contact link or an external giving-form link. The event includes only the link’s general location on a public page and, for giving links, the destination and currency. It does not include names, email addresses or message content, payment details, bank information, or gift amounts.

Analytics data is used only to evaluate site performance, improve educational content, and support the museum's nonprofit mission. It is not sold, rented, or monetized, and it is not combined with research-interview records.

Google Analytics 4 user-level and event-level data associated with cookies and identifiers is retained for a period of 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted from Google Analytics servers. Visitors can opt out at any time through browser privacy settings or Google's Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. A consent mechanism for visitors in jurisdictions that require prior consent is under review and will be in place before public launch.

If the museum runs Google Ad Grants campaigns, GA4 will be linked to Google Ads so the museum can see which ads bring visitors. That link shares measurement data with Google's advertising platform; it does not place advertising on this site.

Beyond GA4, the hosting service may process technical information required for security and operation.

Giving information

USD gifts are processed through CrossCulture Community Foundation (CCF)’s Zeffy form. Payment details, including card numbers, are handled by Zeffy directly; the museum, CCF and CC do not collect or store them. Zeffy passes to CCF the name and email a donor chooses to give, together with the amount and date, and that information is used only for receipts, acknowledgement, and accounting records. Zeffy’s own privacy policy governs its handling of the data.

KRW gifts are made by direct transfer to CrossCulture Community (CC)’s Shinhan Bank account. The bank processes the transfer record, and the museum sees only what appears on the bank statement — the depositor name, amount and date. Giving records are not sold and are not combined with research-interview records.

Visits to the support page are measured by Google Analytics 4 like any other page. Selecting an external giving-form link may be recorded as a donation_link_clicked event, but this is only a proxy for giving interest—not proof that a gift was completed or that revenue was received. Analytics data is not combined with payment details or giving records.
