Privacy Policy
Introduction
The Elizabethton Senior Center values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect from visitors to our website, how we use it, and the steps we take to ensure its security.
Information Collection and Use
We collect various types of information from our website visitors, including but not limited to:
- Personal Information: such as name, address, telephone number, and email address, which you voluntarily provide to us through forms or other direct contact from you, or when you subscribe to email updates from us, if we offer them.
- Website Performance and Analytics Data: including your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and operating system, collected through third-party services such as Google Analytics to understand how our website is used and to improve user experience.
- Visitor-Supplied Information: any additional information you choose to provide to us.
See our Email Communication Consent for how we use your email address and how to unsubscribe.
We keep this information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.
Cookies and Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics uses cookies, small text files stored in your browser, to collect information such as the pages you visit, how long you stay, the website that referred you, and general device and location information. We also count clicks on our phone, email, directions, and donation links. We do not send your name, email address, or other contact details to Google Analytics, and we do not use it for advertising.
Google processes this information as described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. You can stop Google Analytics from collecting your data by blocking cookies in your browser settings or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell or rent your information to third parties. Information collected may be shared with third-party service providers that assist us in our operations, such as email providers and web hosting services. These providers only have access to the information necessary to perform their functions and are not permitted to use or disclose the information for other purposes.
We may also disclose information if required by law, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the safety, rights, or property of the Center, our members, or others.
Third-Party Links and Services
Our website links to and uses services provided by others, including PayPal for online donations, Google Maps for directions, and Facebook. Donations made through PayPal are processed by PayPal, which collects your payment information under its own privacy policy; we do not receive your card number through this website. These third parties have their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them.
Your Choices and Requests
You may contact us to ask what personal information we hold about you, or to ask us to correct or delete it. We will honor reasonable requests promptly.
Your Consent
By using our website, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use our website.
Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information. However, no internet transmission is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our website.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update or change our Privacy Policy at any time. We will post the revised policy on this page, and we encourage you to review it periodically.
