The Petersen Automotive Museum Foundation may employ automated license plate recognition (“ALPR”) technologies at various points of our parking lot entries and exits at 6060 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90023. The ALPR technology is used to read and store vehicle license plate information (“ALPR Data”) to enhance efficiency in entry and exit of the parking lot by employees and visitors. We do not use the ALPR Data for any other purpose.
