The Cairo-Grady County Chamber of Commerce respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when visiting our website or interacting with our online services.

We may use this information to maintain website security and functionality, understand website usage, troubleshoot technical issues, and improve our website and services.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember certain settings, understand how visitors interact with the site, and improve the user experience.

Where applicable, you may be given the option to accept or reject non-essential cookies through our cookie notice. Rejecting non-essential cookies will not prevent you from accessing the basic functions of our website, although some features may function differently.

You may also control or delete cookies through your web browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some portions of the website.

Member Portal, Directory, and Third-Party Services

Our website may provide access to third-party services and platforms used for Chamber membership, directories, event registration, and other services.

When you follow a link to or interact with a third-party platform, information you provide may be collected and processed by that provider according to its own privacy practices. Those services may use cookies or similar technologies independently of the Chamber’s website.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information to them.

Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to websites operated by Chamber members, government agencies, community organizations, event partners, and other third parties.

The Chamber is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, accuracy, or content of websites operated by third parties. A link from our website does not mean that the Chamber controls or is responsible for the linked website.

Sharing of Information

We may share personal information with service providers or vendors that assist us in operating our website or providing Chamber services.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

Comply with applicable law, regulation, court order, or legal process;
Protect the rights, property, or safety of the Chamber, our members, website visitors, or others;
Investigate suspected fraud, security incidents, or misuse of our services; or
Complete an organizational transaction or transition where applicable.

We do not sell personal information to third parties for monetary compensation.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore use appropriate caution when transmitting information online.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, provide Chamber services, maintain appropriate business records, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13.

If we become aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected through our website without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Your Privacy Choices

You may contact us to ask questions about personal information you have provided to us or to request that we update or correct that information.

You may also reject non-essential cookies through our cookie notice where that option is available and may control cookies using your browser settings.

Depending on where you reside, applicable law may provide additional rights regarding your personal information. We will respond to applicable privacy requests as required by law.

Email Communications

If you receive promotional or informational email communications from the Chamber, you may unsubscribe from those communications using the unsubscribe instructions provided in the message, when available, or by contacting us.

We may still send communications necessary to respond to a request, administer a membership or registration, or otherwise provide a service you requested.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, services, technology, or legal requirements.

When changes are made, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be revised. We encourage visitors to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
