  • Privacy Policy
    Thank you for visiting the Bristol Chamber of Commerce website, and reviewing our privacy policy. Our privacy policy is clear: we will collect no personal information about you when you visit our website unless you choose to provide that information to us.

    Here is how we handle information about your visit to our website:

    Information Collected and Stored
    Automatically If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the website, read pages or download information, we will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store only the following information about your visit:

    1. The internet domain (for example, “youragency.gov” if you connect from a government domain, “yourschool.edu” if you connect from a university’s domain, or “xcompany.com” if you use a private internet access account) and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the internet) from which you access our website;
    2. The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
    3. The date and time you access our site;
    4. The pages you visit; and
    5. If you linked to our website from another website, the address of the referring site.

    We use this information to help us make our site more useful to visitors, to learn about the number of visitors to our site and the types of technology our visitors use. We do not track or record information about individuals and their visits. We do not enable “cookies.” (A “cookie” is a file placed on your hard drive by a website that allows it to monitor your use of the site.)

    If You Send Us Personal Information
    If you choose to provide us with personal information, as in an email to one of our online email boxes or by filling out a form with your personal information and submitting it to us through our website, we use that information to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have requested. We treat emails the same way we treat letters sent to the Chamber, but we do not collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to you. We collect personally identifiable information (name, email address or other unique identifier) only if specifically, and knowingly, provided by you. We do not share the information you provide with another government agency. Moreover, we do not create individual profiles with the information you provide, or give it to any private organizations. We do not collect information for commercial marketing.

    Spam
    Subscribers will not receive any unsolicited emails or correspondence if they have not provided Bristol Chamber of Commerce and Visitor & Convention Bureau with prior permission. If you agree to receive email communications from us, every email message we send to you will include an email address to which you can respond. If at any time you decide you do not want to receive marketing email from us, simply let us know and we will remove your name and email address from our mailing list or click "Unsubscribe".

    Links To Other Websites
    Our website has links to other agencies. We also link to other organizations’ websites when we have a justifiable business reason to do so. This does not constitute an endorsement of their policies or products. Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy policy of the new site.
    Security Policy Users are prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security of the site. By way of example, you are prohibited from (a) accessing data not intended for such user or logging onto a server or an account which the user is not authorized to access; (b) attempting to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security without proper authorization; (c) attempting to interfere with service to any user, host or network; (d) sending unsolicited mail, including promotions and/or advertising of products or services.
