Website Privacy Policy

General Statement of Privacy
The Greater Killeen Chamber of Commerce (GKCC) respects the privacy of its members and of those who visit the GKCC web site. Subject to the provisions of applicable laws, any information submitted to the Greater Killeen Chamber of Commerce will not be used in any manner to which has not been consented. While GKCC does analyze its Web site logs to monitor the flow of traffic and make improvements to the site’s content, its Web site logs are not personally identifiable, and no attempt to link them to individual visitors to this site is made.

Personally Identifiable Information
We do not collect Personally Identifiable Information about members on the GKCC Web site without the member’s knowledge or action. The member’s information is collected through the membership registration form, e-mail newsletter registration and/or event registration forms. This information includes, but is not limited to, the member’s name (first and last), company name, company address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address, and credit card information. Members should be aware that if information is disclosed on a bulletin board or in a chat room or other open forum that is hosted by the
GKCC, others may collect that information to send members unsolicited information from outside the GKCC, or for other purposes.

Use of Personally Identifiable Information
We reserve the option to share member contact information with certain third parties. These can include financial institutions, service providers, contractors, or affiliate organizations. Members will always have the ability to opt out from receiving information from the GKCC as well as from said third parties.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-Personally Identifiable Information includes, but is not limited to, information we automatically collect on a visitors use and/or actions on our Web site (e.g., user traffic patterns, page views on the Web site, click-through rates, search terms that users enter into our search utility). In addition, when a visitor arrives at our site, we collect the IP address, operating system, and browser software used. An IP address (which is not the same as an e-mail address) can tell us the user's internet service provider and, based on that, can suggest the geographic location of the connection. The GKCC recognizes that certain User Information of a key demographic nature (e.g., race, age, gender, national origin, income), while Non-Personally Identifiable Information, is still of a sensitive nature to users. As a general matter, the GKCC does not collect such information about you through the killeenchamber.com Web site. However, in recognition of the sensitive nature of such information, in the event the GKCC comes into possession of such information, whether through voluntary submission of such information in response to a special feature on the Web site or by receiving such information from any of our business partners, such information shall, when coupled with any of Personally Identifiable Information, itself be deemed to be Personally Identifiable Information and treated by the GKCC as such.

Use of Non-personally identifiable information
As a general matter, Non-Personally Identifiable Information helps us determine how the killeenchamber.com Web site is being used, helps us identify popular areas of the Web site, and helps determine the effectiveness of our promotional activities regarding the Web site.

Third Party use of personal information
The GKCC Web site contains links to other Internet Web sites, including co-branded or other affiliated sites. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites, including such sites' use of any information.

Security
Members should understand and agree that “perfect” security does not exist anywhere, including on the Internet. When members send credit card information, we encrypt this information between the member’s computer and our server. Other information the member sends to this site, including email messages, will not be encrypted unless we advise otherwise. Our Web site is protected by a firewall and monitored for security.

Legal Disclaimer
This site provides information designed to help users cope with their own legal, business, financial, and other needs.

Although we go to great lengths to ensure the information is accurate, we strongly recommend you consult an expert, including but not limited to a lawyer, accountant, financial services consultant, or other professional as
appropriate. Nothing contained in this web site is to be considered as the rendering of legal, financial, professional or other advice for specific cases, and users are responsible for obtaining such advice from their own legal, financial or other counsel.
