Protecting the security and privacy of your Personal Information is important to the Burlington/Alamance County Convention and Visitors Bureau and to the way we conduct our business in compliance with laws on privacy, data protection and data security. We hope the policy outlined below will help you understand what information the Burlington/Alamance County Convention and Visitors Bureau may collect, how the Burlington/Alamance County Convention and Visitors Bureau uses and safeguards that information and with whom we may share it. This policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically.

Personal Information

Through our Web site, the Burlington/Alamance County Convention and Visitors Bureau will not collect any personally identifiable information about you (e.g., your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address ("Personal Information")), unless you voluntarily choose to provide it to us (e.g., by registration, survey). If you do not want your Personal Information collected, please do not submit it to us. When you do provide us with Personal Information, we usually use it to respond to your inquiry, process your order or provide you access to specific account information. Also, to support our customer relationship with you:

• we may store and process Personal Information and share it with our worldwide affiliates to better understand your business needs and how we can improve our products and services; or
• we (or a third party on our behalf) may use Personal Information to contact you about an offer in support of your business needs or to conduct online surveys to understand better our customers' needs and profiles.

If you choose not to have your Personal Information used to support our customer relationship (especially direct-marketing or market-research), we will respect your choice. We do not now (and do not intend to) sell, rent or otherwise market your Personal Information to third parties.

We may use this information and share it with our affiliates to measure the use of our Web site and improve its content.
