Privacy Policy

Discover Long Island has established this policy on the collection and dissemination of personal contact information. This policy applies to all personal contact information collected to fulfill a legitimate public purpose whether obtained through an online visit, a phone call placed to our office or a visit to one of our information centers. Discover Long Island may share your personal contact information with our partners for the intention of distributing requested information.

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to inform individuals about the collection and use of personal information by Discover Long Island.

Definitions

For the purpose of this policy, “personal contact information” means information that identifies an individual’s contact information including, but not limited to, name, address, zip code, area code and email address.

Use, Collection, Disclosure and Retention of Personally Identifiable Information through the Internet

When you visit our web site, we ask that in order for you to receive requested information via mail, sign up for our e-newsletter, take part in any of our promotional activities and for our internal statistical reporting that you provide your name, address, area code, e-mail address, your interest, activities and your general preferences. We request this information so that we can process and fulfill any request for information that you may make.

The collection of information through this web site and the disclosure of that information are subject to the provisions of the NYS Internet Security and Privacy Act. Discover Long Island may collect or disclose personal contact information without consent if the collection or disclosure is necessary to perform the statutory duties of Discover Long Island, if necessary for Discover Long Island to operate a program authorized by law, if authorized by state or federal statute or regulation or if the information is used solely for statistical purposes and is in a form that cannot be used to identify any particular person.

We safeguard your personal information by implementing appropriate security procedures to protect your privacy.

We may use this information internally to identify your specific interests so that we can keep you informed of new attractions, activities or other information that has been added to this site. As an example, we might send you an e-mail announcing a new festival or other attraction you might enjoy. You can opt-in or out of receiving e-mail messages from us at any time.

With regard to sending you e-mails or other mailings from qualified third parties, we don’t assume that you have “opted in” to allow us to send you e-mail or other mailings simply because you have not “opted out”. Unless you request us to send the information, we will not send information.
