Information that is gathered from visitors
In common with other websites, log files are stored on the web server saving details such as the visitor’s IP address, browser type, referring page and time of visit. Cookies may be used to remember visitor preferences when interacting with the website. Where registration of services is required, the visitor’s name and email address will be collected. Only the email address will be stored in our system.
The user’s name is only used for verification purposes for our administrator to determine which mailing list the address should be placed on. Once the address is stored, the user’s name will be removed and there will be no tie to the email address after that point. When such information is collected, a clear statement regarding how it will be used will be displayed.
How we collect and share information
This website serves as one of the methods used to register users on the e-mail or text message mailing list. Addresses and numbers are only added by request of the user. Other methods include telephone and a hardcopy form, but not within the scope of this website. Once a user registers, they receive a subscription confirmation email that provides instructions to unregister. Only addresses and numbers that consent to join the mailing list will receive notifications.
How the Information is used
The information is used to enhance the visitor’s experience when using the website to display personalized content and direct contact through email or text message notification. E-mail addresses and text message numbers will remain confidential and will not be sold, rented or leased to 3rd parties. E-mail or text messages are sent to inform you of news, our services or other important community-related information.
