Privacy Statement

Commitment.

The Arlington Chamber of  Commerce (the Chamber) respects your right to privacy and will not sell or share any information you provide us while using this site with any third party unless you give us prior consent and except as set forth herein.  Your ability to make informed choices about the uses of your information is important to us. This page explains the Chamber’s policy regarding the online collection of personal information. The terms of this privacy policy apply to information collected from this site unless different terms are specified in an online or other form or contract we provide you.  This policy may change from time to time; if it does, we will keep the current policy posted in this section.

Information We Collect from this Web Site and Its Uses.

When you visit our web site, some information such as your Internet address, Internet Service Provider, operating system, the site from which you linked, and the time and date of your visit and inquiries may be collected automatically as part of the software operation of the site. This information is not linked to personally identifiable information. We use this information to compile aggregate statistics about the total number of daily visitors to our site, the pages most frequently visited, how long people stay at each page, user traffic patterns, and related activity data.  This allows us to understand our customer’s needs and to develop products and services to serve those needs.

We also may collect personal information, which you provide us when you place an inquiry, an event registration, or contact us through our “Get In Touch With Us” page. This personal information includes whatever information you choose to provide.

The personal information we collect online is used to process your requests, to provide you the highest quality of service, and to understand your needs so that we can serve you better.

This site is hosted by a third party that has access to the information.  While the Chamber cannot guarantee that the trust between parties will not be breached by our vendor, it is our belief that they will never use any of the user/member information for their own gain or promotion. 

For member organizations of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce and their representatives, some of the information collected on the web site has already been provided to us.  That information is at times shared with the general public and other members and is restricted to names of organizations and representatives, telephone numbers, addresses, and types of business.  Never are fax numbers and/or e-mail addresses shared with the public.  Because this is a volunteer driven organization, at times members fax numbers and e-mail addresses are shared with member volunteers who may need to contact you in the course of doing the Chamber’s business (i.e. a committee chair who sends out meeting notices).  Such volunteers are directed to not use the information for organizational or personal purposes. 

Links.

This site contains links to other Internet sites.  The Chamber has no control over the content of those sites, the accuracy of any information presented, nor do we control the information collection, distribution, or privacy policies of any sites other than this one.  The Chamber is not responsible for any additional information you provide to these other sites, and we encourage you to become familiar with their practices before disclosing information to them.

Opting Out.

If, at any time, you wish to stop receiving information (whether totally or via specific method of communication) from the Chamber, or if you have comments or questions about these policies or this site, please email us or send a letter to the Chamber office.
