General Statement of Privacy
The Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana respects the privacy of its
members and of those who visit this site. Subject to the provisions of
applicable laws, any information you submit to The Chamber of Commerce
of Southwest Indiana will not be used in any manner to which you have
not consented. While The Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana 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 you on The
Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana web site without your knowledge

registration form, e-mail newsletter registration and/or event
registration forms. This information includes, but is not limited to,
your name (first and last), company name, company address, phone number,
fax number, e-mail address and credit card information. You should be
aware that if you disclose any information on a bulletin board or in a
chat room or other open forum that is hosted by The Chamber of Commerce
of Southwest Indiana, others may collect that information to send you
unsolicited information from outside The Chamber of Commerce of
Southwest Indiana, or for other purposes.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information
We reserve the option to share your contact information with certain
third parties. These can include financial institutions, service
providers, contractors or affiliate organizations. You will always have
the ability to opt out from receiving information from The Chamber of
Commerce of Southwest Indiana 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 your 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 Chamber of Commerce of
Southwest Indiana 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 Chamber of Commerce of
Southwest Indiana does not collect such information about you through
the www.ccswin.com web site. However, in recognition of the sensitive
nature of such information, in the event The Chamber of Commerce of
Southwest Indiana comes into possession of such information, whether
through your 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 your personally identifiable Information, itself be deemed to be
Personally Identifiable Information and treated by The Chamber of
Commerce of Southwest Indiana as such.
Use of Non-Personally Identifiable Information
As a general matter, non-personally identifiable information helps us
determine how the www.ccswin.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.
