This Privacy Policy explains how the 2Pac 30th Memorial Anniversary Exhibition (“we,” “us,” or “our”), co-curated by Donald “C-Note” Hooker and Jessica “Noonie” Noble, collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you visit, purchase from, or interact with our Website.
We respect your privacy and are committed to safeguarding personal data collected through our digital archive, shop, and exhibition platform.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in three ways: information you provide directly, information collected automatically through cookies and site technologies, and information received via third-party processors.
A. Information You Provide Directly
- Shop Purchases: When you place an order in our Shop, we collect your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and phone number. (Note: Payment card details are handled directly by PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment processors; we never store your credit/debit card numbers on our servers.)

- Press & Curatorial Inquiries: When you submit inquiries through our contact forms or press desk, we collect your name, email address, media organization/affiliation, and the contents of your message.
B. Information Collected Automatically (Cookies & Analytics)
When you browse the exhibition, our hosting servers and embedded tools automatically log certain diagnostic and usage details:
- Log Data: IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, referring URLs, access dates/times, and pages viewed within the exhibition.
- Analytics Data: We utilize Google Site Kit and Google Analytics to understand aggregated exhibition traffic patterns, audience demographics, reading engagement, and audio/video exhibition feature interaction.
2. How We Use Your Information
We process your data exclusively for legitimate cultural, operational, and organizational purposes:
- Fulfillment: To process, package, and ship commemorative items or merchandise ordered through the Shop.
- Exhibition Support: To acknowledge and record archival contributions and support funding for the digital exhibition and the Black August Cultural Archive.
- Communications: To respond to editorial interview requests, press credentials, visitor inquiries, or order status notices.
- Website Optimization: To diagnose server errors, protect against malicious bot attacks, improve site accessibility, and measure global interest across exhibition topics (e.g., 2Pac’s Politics, 2Pac’s Albums, and 2Pac’s Court Cases).
- Legal Compliance: To maintain accurate financial transaction logs for tax accounting and legal verification.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
A cookie is a small data file placed on your device. We use the following categories of cookies:
- Essential / Strict Cookies: Necessary for basic WordPress navigation, security protection, and cart functionality in the Shop.
- Analytics Cookies: Powered by Google Site Kit / Google Analytics to gather anonymous aggregate data regarding visitor traffic and engagement.
- Third-Party Service Cookies: Embedded elements (such as embedded video players, audio streaming players, or payment gateways like Stripe/PayPal) may place cookies to enable media playback and secure checkout.
Managing Cookies: You can adjust your browser settings at any time to block or delete cookies. Note that disabling essential cookies may impact your ability to use the Shop cart or complete checkout.
4. Third-Party Service Providers
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share information with trusted third-party service providers bound by strict confidentiality standards:
- Payment Gateways: (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, or WooCommerce Payments) for encrypted billing and payment processing.
- Fulfillment & Shipping Partners: To deliver merchandise purchased through the Shop.
- Site Analytics & Infrastructure: Google Site Kit / Google Analytics and our hosting and CDN infrastructure providers for security monitoring and site performance.

5. Data Retention & Security
- Retention: We retain order and donation records as required to satisfy accounting, tax, and legal requirements. General correspondence and press inquiries are retained only as long as necessary to address the matter.
- Security: We implement SSL/TLS encryption across all pages of 2pac30thmemorial.com to safeguard data in transit. While we follow strict technical standards to secure personal information, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security against all unforeseen breaches.
