Visits to Our Website
This website ospreynokomisflorida.com is like millions of other websites using Google Analytics to gather information about site visitors and their behavior. We use Google Analytics to get an idea for:
- how many visits our website gets
- how visitors found our website
- in which content they are interested
- how long they stay on our website and on each individual page
- what region they are from
- what type of computer hardware and internet software they are using
- and similar details
However, we do not send any of your personal information to Google Analytics. The collected information is used only for statistics, which help us evaluate our website’s performance. User-level and event-level data stored by Google Analytics is set to be automatically deleted from Google’s servers after 26 months.
Furthermore, to protect our visitors’ privacy we request that Google anonymize each visitor’s IP address.
To opt-out of Google Analytics completely, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Online Event Registration
To better plan for our events, we ask you to RSVP online. By doing so you are providing us with any information entered as well as the IP through which you placed the registration.
Chamber Membership
The information we collect from the application form consists of all the information you enter and your IP address. We use the submitted information to process your application, create your invoice and your account.
To protect this website from spam, your data will be processed in the CleanTalk Cloud Service and they will be stored in log files for 7 days. CleanTalk excludes the password field. On the expiry of the mentioned period, they will be completely deleted. CleanTalk may use spam activity information of IP/email addresses to offer proper anti-spam protection to all websites connected to its service. It concerns exclusively those IP/email addresses that are being used for spam mailing.
Active members are listed publicly on our website. Members have the option to log in to the website and manage the information that is publicly visible as well as update information that is used for administration purposes. The membership information is preserved, even beyond the membership expiration date, until manually deleted. This allows us to follow up with past members, more easily restore suspended listings, etc.
We use MailChimp to send e-blasts to active and suspended members. To be excluded from our eblasts, you can unsubscribe by clicking here. Visit MailChimp’s Privacy Policy for more information. Please allow up to 48 hours for unsubscribe requests to be processed.
Online Payments
We accept online payments for invoices (e.g. membership sign-ups & renewals) and event registrations. Payments are processed by Heartland. Additional personal information like your name, billing address address and IP address are transmitted to Heartland so they can charge your card as well as help to prevent fraud. For more information visit Heartland’s Privacy Policy.
