At The Lakewood Chamber of Commerce, we use state of the art technology in an attempt to protect your personal information through "Verisign" a trusted leader in Internet security. Although we go to great lengths to provide security, we cannot guarantee and accept no responsibility for the interception or decryption of your information by others.
We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. In every aspect of our business we have structured our website and technology to protect you, as you transact business with us. Part of our business is to create refunds and commissions to our members, resulting from transactions that they make using registered credit and debit cards at participating merchants. This necessitates that we collect from you personal information, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers and other personal information. We want to assure you that we do not take your trust lightly and that we take every reasonable precaution available to us, to ensure that the information entrusted to us is kept secure and confidential.
Once you give us your information we want you to be assured that we will only use your personal information to fulfill our obligations to support our members. We want you to be aware of our Privacy Policy and practices and about the choices available to you regarding the use and collection of your information. The personal information we collect is for identification, communication and security purposes. We are obligated to report income to the relevant tax authorities where commissions are payable and to do so, we need a social security number or taxpayer ID number. Your credit card number, if given, is necessary for us to track your purchases and award refunds to you. The other personal information we require is primarily for communication purposes so that we can keep you informed about our program and fulfill any requests that you may have. We encourage our members to furnish us with information regarding your personal interests, demographics and other relevant information to enable us to serve you better with products, services and merchants that would be relevant to your needs. We may offer you the opportunity to participate in market research or furnish you with relevant information. We will offer you the opportunity to opt out of such opportunities.
We are not in the business of selling mailing or email lists. Other than where we are obligated by law, we will only share information with partners that are part of the implementation process of our website and eCommerce gateway and who are under a Confidentiality Agreement. If we do come across products or services that we feel would be relevant to you, we will give you the opportunity to decide if you wish to receive the information or not. You will have the opportunity, in a secure environment, to update your personal information. Encryption is used when exchanging sensitive data and our policies and procedures ensure that your information is only available on an as needed basis.
