This information (sometimes referred to as "non-personally identifiable information") may include the address (or "URL") of the Web site that you came from before visiting our site, which pages you visit on our site, which browser you used to view our site and any search terms you have entered on our site.

DO WE USE COOKIES, WEB BEACONS OR THIRD PARTY ADVERTISERS?
Cookies
A 'cookie' is a small data file that a Web site may send to your browser and that your browser may then store on your system. We use session cookies to simulate a continuous connection - cookies let us "remember" information about your preferences and passwords and allow you to move within our site without reintroducing yourself. We also use cookies to allow you to access areas of our Web site that are limited to registered users, such as the Residential Directory section. Additionally, we may use cookies to limit the number of ads that we show you by determining whether or not you have seen an ad before. We do NOT, however, use cookies to track the navigational habits of identified visitors. Furthermore, we do NOT allow other companies (third parties) to set cookies via The Oakhurst Neighborhood Association Web sites.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually refuse cookies, or selectively accept cookies, by adjusting the preferences in your browser. If you turn cookies off, there may be some features of our site that will not be available to you and some Web pages may not display properly. You can find information about how you can adjust your cookie setting at the following Web sites: Microsoft Internet Explorer: http://www.microsoft.com/info/cookies.htm and Netscape Navigator: http://www.netscape.com/legal_notices/cookies.html.
Web Beacons
The The Oakhurst Neighborhood Association Web site does NOT use electronic images known as Web beacons, or clear GIFs to monitor the activity of our Web site. Used in combination with cookies, a Web beacon is an often-transparent graphic image, usually no larger than 1 pixel x 1 pixel, which is placed on a Web site or in an e-mail that is used to monitor the behavior of the user visiting the Web site or opening the e-mail. (To learn more about Web beacons, visit Webopedia).
Third Party Advertisers
The Oakhurst Neighborhood Association does NOT use third party advertising companies to provide advertisements or allow third party advertisers to track your browsing activities on The Oakhurst Neighborhood Association Web sites.
DOES THE OAKHURST NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION SHARE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Unless we have your express consent, The Oakhurst Neighborhood Association will NOT sell, rent, loan, trade or lease personal information such as membership data or e-mail lists to any third party. We treat all information you provide as confidential. Occasionally, we may contract with other companies to provide limited services on our behalf such as packaging, mailing and delivering purchases and processing event registration.
From time to time, we may be required to provide personal information in response to a valid court order, subpoena, government investigation, or as otherwise required by law. Unless prevented by law, we will notify you prior to the release of such information. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful. We may release certain personal information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves.
DO I HAVE CHOICES REGARDING HOW MY INFORMATION IS USED?
You remain in control of your information. The Oakhurst Neighborhood Association will NOT use or share the personal information we collect in ways unrelated to the purpose for which you provided the information without first obtaining your consent (opt-in).
If we collect your information and you are not presented with a choice, that indicates the information you submit will only be used to fulfill your request. If you do opt-in to communications from The Oakhurst Neighborhood Association, you can opt-out at any time. All e-mail communications from us, such as newsletters, tell you how to stop receiving them.
CAN I ACCESS/UPDATE MY INFORMATION?
The Oakhurst Neighborhood Association wants your information and preferences to be accurate and complete. If you would like to access or update the personal information we maintain about you in our systems, please access the Residential Directory and navigate to your information.
HOW DOES The Oakhurst Neighborhood Association SECURE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?
The Oakhurst Neighborhood Association uses a variety of safeguards to protect your information from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction. We only provide access to your personal information to The Oakhurst Neighborhood Association volunteers and other authorized parties on a "need to know" basis. Please be careful whenever sending personal information to The Oakhurst Neighborhood Association via e-mail. E-mail is commonly not a secure means of transferring information.
HOW LONG WILL MY INFORMATION BE STORED?
The Oakhurst Neighborhood Association believes it is important, for privacy and security reasons, to delete information when it is no longer needed. Data retention periods differ depending on the type of information collected and its intended purpose. For example, we will store your e-mail address if you've subscribed to one of our newsletters until you opt-out (tell us you no longer wish to receive communications from us). If you send us a question or concern, we will maintain your information for a reasonable period of time and then delete it. Directory accounts that are inactive for a period of two years will be automatically deleted.
You may request to delete any personal information you have submitted to The Oakhurst Neighborhood Association by contacting us at webmaster@oakhurstga.org. We will notify you of our receipt of your request. We will take all reasonable steps to functionally delete all such information from our database.

WILL THIS PRIVACY POLICY CHANGE?
If there are changes or additions to this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes here so that you will always know what information we collect online or offline, how we use it and what choices you have.
