Personal Information
We do not collect personal information for visitors browsing our website. We may collect personal information for visitors who request membership information, register for an event, or opt-in to receive our email communications. In these cases, we will collect personal information including but not limited to: your name, email, phone, company name, and address. We may also share your personal information with our third-party website administrators (only for the purpose of serving you) and as required by law.

Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Newsletters and Listservs
The Chamber distributes several online newsletters and listserv mailings each week via email. Visitors to our website can subscribe to our newsletters and listserves. When you opt-in to receive communications from the Chamber, we will collect your personal information (including but not limited to your name and email address) for the purpose of delivering these communications to you. Participation in these communications is voluntary, and you may choose to unsubscribe at any time.

Surveys, Polls, and Contests
On occasion, the Chamber may provide the opportunity to participate in surveys, polls or contests on our website. If you participate, we may request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or polls is voluntary, and you, therefore, have a choice whether or not to disclose your personal information.
