Privacy Policy

By accessing this web site you agree to the Privacy Policy set forth below. We reserve the right to change this policy by posting a revision on this web site.

What information do we collect?

We collect information from you when you respond to a survey or communication such as e-mail, or participate in another site feature.

When communicating with us, we may ask you for your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, or other information. You may, however, visit our site anonymously.

Like many websites, we use “cookies” to enhance your experience and gather information about visitors and visits to our websites. Please refer to the “Do we use ‘cookies’?” section below for information about cookies and how we use them. We will not sell, rent or share this information in a way different from what is disclosed in this statement unless you consent.

Do we use “cookies”?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won’t have access to many features that make your site experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly.

We use your IP address simply to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. Your IP address is used to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information. We use cookies to keep track for other purposes (such as personalizing the site, for example).

How do we use your information?

We may use the information we collect from you when you respond to a survey or marketing communication, surf the website, or use certain other site features in the following ways:

To personalize your site experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings in which you are most interested.
To allow us to better service you in responding to your customer service requests.
If you have opted-in to receive our e-mail newsletter, we may send you periodic e-mails. If you would no longer like to receive promotional e-mail from us, please refer to the “How can you opt-out, remove or modify information you have provided to us?” section below. If you have not opted-in to receive e-mail newsletters, you will not receive these e-mails.

Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice, except as described below. The term “outside parties” does not include The Town of Rathbone. It also does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.

How can you opt-out, remove or modify information you have provided to us?

To opt-out please send an email to mejacobson85@yahoo.com requesting to unsubscribe. Please include your name and email address that you wish to have us remove. Please note that due to email production schedules you may receive any emails already in production.

Address Information

Our site uses a contact form for you to request information or ask questions. We collect your contact information, including, but not limited to, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers. Collected information is used for the benefit of The Town of Rathbone to send information to residents about events, meetings or questions/concerns submitted. This information is also used to contact you when necessary.

How do we protect visitor information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. Our site is encrypted and protected with SSL, the current industry standard encryption protocol. When you are on such an SSL protected page, a picture of a closed lock appears at the bottom or top of some Web browsers. At other times this lock appears open. Another way to tell if you are on a secure page is to look at the address or URL of the page. (Look in the address box or right click on the page and select “Properties”.) These secure SSL encrypted pages have URLs that start with https:// instead of http://. If you have any questions about security at our Web site, send an email to mejacobson85@yahoo.com.
