The SEMINOLE COUNTY REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (sometimes, the “Chamber”) is committed to protecting any personal information that you may provide to us. In particular, we believe it is important for you to know how we treat information about you that we may receive from this Web site. By visiting www.seminolebusiness.org, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

In general, you can visit this Web site without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. Our web servers also seek (as many Web sites do) to place a "cookie" (a small data file) on your computer's hard drive which allows the server to determine the computer when it visits again, in order to track statistical information about navigation to and throughout certain areas of our site, and to SEMINOLE COUNTY REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE promotions on other sites. This cookie is not used to obtain your name or any personal data, and the information that is tracked is used only for internal purposes, such as to improve site navigation and to measure the effectiveness of our promotional placements, and is not shared with anyone other than SEMINOLE COUNTY REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE affiliates and contractors who assist the SEMINOLE COUNTY REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE in these efforts and are bound to confidentiality. However, if you prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your browser to reject them or to alert you before one is placed.

In addition, there are portions of this Web site where we may need to collect personal information from you for a specific purpose, such as to provide you with certain information you request. The information collected from you may include your name, address, telephone, fax number, or e-mail address. [For electronic access to annual reports and proxy statements, we collect your tax identification number to verify your shareholder status. For our supplier diversity site, we necessarily collect information about gender and ethnicity, such as whether your business is female-owned.] [Is this correct?]

This Web site is not intended for persons under 13 18 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from or about children, and we do not knowingly market our products or services to children.

Use of Collected Information

Domain name information that we collect is not used to personally identify you and instead is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. We use this information to measure the use of our site and to improve the content of our site.

When other information is collected from you, such as your name and e-mail address, we generally let you know at the time of collection how we will use the personal information. Usually, we use the personal information you provide only to respond to your inquiry or to process your request (such as to receive electronic annual reports or to be added to our supplier diversity database). This information may be shared with other SEMINOLE COUNTY REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE businesses, but only if necessary to fulfill your request or for related purposes.

We may share the personal information you provide with other companies we have hired to provide services for us. These companies - our vendors - are contractually bound to use personal information we share with them only to perform the services we have hired them to provide. We do not share, sell, or lease personal information about you to any third-parties for their marketing use. We will release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are required by law to do so, or in other legally limited circumstances (for example, to protect your account from fraud).

If you register with one of the SEMINOLE COUNTY REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE business units online, they may use this information to provide you with custom information about the SEMINOLE COUNTY REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE s offerings in support of your business needs. They may also seek to place a "cookie" (small data file) as discussed above in order to provide you with tailored information. You should review the privacy policy associated with that SEMINOLE COUNTY REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE business' Web site for further information about that SEMINOLE COUNTY REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE business' privacy practices. [Explain business unit.]

Log Files

Like most standard website servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information contained in user profiles. [This is similar to the first paragraph of information collected, but a little more detailed.]

Member Correspondence

Members authorize the Chamber to send them mail and e-mail for many reasons, including newsletters, information pertaining to the Chamber, and account information.

Service Announcements

On rare occasions it is necessary to send out announcements that are strictly service-based. The Chamber will send its users notices upon activation of their account, and also upon any password-look-up requests made by the user. Also, if the Chamber’s service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, or if the Chamber were to undergo a large-scale transition thereby changing the nature of this privacy statement, the Chamber might send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though they can terminate their membership. However, these communications are not promotional in nature.

Links to Other Sites

The SEMINOLE COUNTY REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Web site may contain links to other sites such as SEMINOLE COUNTY REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE distributors and sales affiliates. While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices employed by other sites.

Security of Collected Information

We maintain strict physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized or inappropriate access. We restrict access to information about you to those SEMINOLE COUNTY REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE workers who need to know the information to respond to your inquiry or request. Workers who misuse personal information are subject to disciplinary action.

Third Parties

The Chamber will use a credit card processing company to charge the credit cards of Members who owe a membership fee and submit credit card information for payment.

Revisions to Privacy Policy and Service and Use Agreement

If the Chamber decide to amend this Privacy Policy, the Chamber will post changes to this Privacy Policy in places on this website that the Chamber deems appropriate so users are always aware of what information the Chamber collects, how the Chamber use the information, and under what circumstances the Chamber discloses the information. The Chamber will use information in conformity with this Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time. If the Chamber is going to use user information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, the Chamber will notify users via e-mail. Users will have a choice as to whether or not the Chamber uses their information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their membership, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. If the Chamber makes any material changes in its privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in the Chamber’s database, the Chamber will post a prominent notice on this website notifying users of the change(s).
