Website Data Protection and Privacy Policy:
The BVI Chamber of Commerce (BVICoC) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the information you provide via the BVICCHA website. BVICoC will not share, sell, or disclose any personal information with a third party for any purpose.
General Use of Information
You can visit the BVICoC's website anonymously, without telling us who you are, or revealing any information about yourself—including your e-mail address. Our host may collect data concerning the means by which you accessed our web page (via link or search engine), dates and time spent on our site, repeated visits, and whether you bookmarked our site. In addition, if available, the host records geographical location of the visitor’s IP address, browser type and operating system. All of this data is collected to help us improve our website and the services offered via the website. None of this data will contain personally identifiable information or be associated with you as an individual.
Database Use of Information
BVICoC maintains an up-to-date membership database on a secure server. The information collected in this database is for BVICoC use only. Membership in the BVICoC is an implied effort by the member to be known within the membership and the community, as a member in good standing, who wishes to be contacted for services and/or products. This being said, on www.bviccha.org, members contact names, addresses, websites, are available in the membership directory. The BVICoC secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized use or disclosure. When personal information is transmitted to other websites (such as credit card numbers) it is protected through the use of encryption, such as an SSL protocol.
We use “cookies” to improve the user experience and site performance, but do not store personally identifiable information in them.
Our site contains links to other websites. These sites are not covered by this privacy statement, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other sites.
We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement and related business practices at any time by posting updated text on this site.
