General Statement of Privacy

The Morgantown Area Chamber of Commerce 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 Morgantown Area Chamber of Commerce will not be used in any manner to which you have not consented. While the Morgantown Area Chamber does analyze the web site logs to monitor the flow of traffic and make improvements to the content, the 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 Morgantown Area Chamber Web site without your knowledge or action. Your information is collected through the membership 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 Morgantown Area Chamber, others may collect that information to send you unsolicited information from outside the Morgantown Area Chamber, or for other purposes.

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 Morgantown Area Chamber 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 Morgantown Area Chamber does not collect such information about you through the web site. However, in recognition of the sensitive nature of such information, in the event the Morgantown Area Chamber 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 Morgantown Area Chamber as such.

Use of Non-personally identifiable information

As a general matter, non-personally identifiable Information helps us determine how the 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.

Legal Disclaimer

This site provides information designed to help users cope with their own legal, business, financial, and other needs. This information is not the same as retaining experts in those fields for advice. Although we go to great lengths to ensure the information is accurate, we strongly recommend you consult an expert, including but not limited to a lawyer, accountant, financial services consultant, or other professional as appropriate. Nothing contained in this web site is to be considered as the rendering of legal, financial, professional or other advice for specific cases, and users are responsible for obtaining such advice from their own legal, financial or other counsel.
