Privacy Policy
Updated February 5, 2024
SCOPE OF THE PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy applies to the websites (collectively, the “Websites”) that are owned and operated by Cardiff By The Sea Chamber of Commerce Inc, DBA Cardiff 101 Main Street (the “Association”). (the “Association”). This Privacy Policy states the Association's policy with regard to the personal identifiable information you provide.
The Association is committed to honoring the privacy preferences of members of the public that visit our Websites. Our intention through these Websites is to supply information that will help people learn about, experience and work to revitalize older and historic commercial districts to build stronger communities through preservation-based economic development. In the course of providing these online services, information may be exchanged between the Association, servers, online users and their browsers. In order to access certain materials or services on the Websites, you may be asked to provide your name, address, phone number and/or other information. It is your decision to provide this information. We will only use this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Please be advised that you may opt-out of receiving certain information from the Association as provided herein. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Websites.
The Association’s Terms of Use also govern the use of the Websites.
PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTION
Personal Information Collected
The Association has a strong commitment to internet privacy. We provide choices to the consumer in deciding when and how to provide different categories of "personally identifiable information" (e.g., data that may be used to identify, contact or locate a person such as name, physical address, email address and phone number and information you provide to help customize your web experience). In general, when you visit our Websites and access information, we do not require you to register or provide personal identifiable information to us. However, there are occasions when we will ask for additional information. For example, you may be required to register your name and email address or other necessary information in order to enter certain areas of the Websites such as to participate in surveys or special initiatives. It is your choice to provide such information, and you may opt-out from receiving any of this type of information in the future.
Personally identifiable information, such as your name, physical address, email address, phone number and credit card information will be collected if you wish to become a member of the Association online, make purchases online, receive e-newsletters, or make online donations. Please be advised that we will never share your credit card information. Nor will we ever share your email address or other personal identifiable information provided unless otherwise authorized by you or as stated in this Privacy Policy.
Internet Protocol and Cookies
We may keep track of your interactions with our Websites and our services to offer a more personalized experience through your Internet Protocol address or through the use of “Cookies” and web analytics services.
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is associated with the portal through which you enter the internet, like your internet service provider (ISP). Standing alone, your IP address is not personally identifiable. At times, we use IP addresses to collect information regarding the frequency with which our visitors visit various parts of our Websites. We may also combine this information with personally identifiable information, e.g., your name and address that you have provided to us and/or with other information that is publicly available or that we receive from other reputable sources in order to make our Websites and communications more targeted to your interests.
"Cookies" are small files sent from a web server to your computer through your browser program that permit the computer to help customize your experience with our Websites. The Association uses cookies to measure visitation to the Association’s Websites, including repeat visitors and to perform certain functions such as order processing, registrations, and advertising. Cookies may be used to store some history about the parts of our Websites that you have visited to help you navigate our Websites more easily or to alert you to related pages on our Websites that may interest you. The Association does not use cookies to obtain information about other Websites that you may have visited. The Association may also use web analytics services and conversion tracking, which use cookies and other means to collect and analyze data. These services, however, do not collect personal identifiable information. For more information about cookies, visit www.cookiecentral.com.
Webpage Sharing and e-Cards
If a user elects to share pages from our Websites with friends, colleagues or on social media sites, we may ask for the recipient’s name and email address. The Association will automatically send the recipient a one-time message inviting them to visit a website. The Association uses the recipient's information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email, and the recipient information is not retained.
Personally Identifiable Information Contained in User Content
Some sections of our Websites may allow users to post or transmit messages, reviews, comments, screen names, computer files and other materials. We encourage your thoughts, stories, photos, but be advised that any content you submit to the Websites will not be returned to you and may be used by the Association in any manner we see fit, including reprinting it in full or in modified version on our Websites or elsewhere or using elements of it on our Websites. You will not be entitled to any remuneration for any use of your content by the Association.
You are solely responsible for the contents of your transmission through our Websites. The Association is not obligated to monitor such transmissions, and therefore cannot be responsible for any personally identifiable information or other information that may be contained in such transmissions. You agree not to transmit through the Websites any unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, or harmful material of any kind or nature.
Please review the Association’s Terms of Use for more information regarding user content posted to the Websites.
USE OF INFORMATION AND PRIVACY CHOICES
Use of Personal Information
If you provide the Association with your personal identifiable information, we will not share that information with other organizations, unless you have otherwise authorized us to do so or as stated in this Privacy Policy.
If you provide your personal identifiable information on a public forum (e.g. a blog) the Association is not responsible for monitoring these transmissions and cannot be responsible for any personally identifiable information contained in such transmissions. Please review the Association’s Terms of Use for more information. If you wish to be removed from one of our email lists or from receiving information from the Association, you may opt-out at any time.
Use of Membership Information
On a selective basis, members of the Association may be selected to receive information via postal mail from other non-profit organizations, including state and local preservation organizations and occasionally for-profit organizations that we think may be of interest to you. You have the right to opt-out of these mailings.
Links to Third Party Websites
We provide many links to third party websites existing outside of the Association. Since we do not control the content or functionality of these websites, we encourage you to review the privacy policies posted on those third party websites. Any link from www.cardiff101.com or another Association website to a third party website does not denote an affiliation with the website or an endorsement of its viewpoint(s) or mission(s). Please review the Association’s Terms of Use for more information.

Co-Branded Partners
From time to time, the Association may offer certain promotions, programs or activities on our Websites or on websites hosted or managed by the Association that are co-sponsored or co-branded by non-profit and/or for-profit partners, such as purchasing products or services offered by our partners, or electing to participate in advocacy campaigns, contests, sweepstakes, games or other programs sponsored in whole or in part by our partners, which may be subject to their own terms of use. At the time of engagement, you will be offered an opportunity to choose to authorize the Association to share your information with our partners so you may receive information from the partners. We do not control the privacy practices or terms of use of our co-branded partners; therefore, you should review their privacy practices before you choose to access their products or services.

However, if at a later date, you decide to opt-out of receiving information from our partners, you will need to contact the partners directly.
Other Disclosures
The Association will share personal identifiable information with third parties if we have a good-faith belief that disclosing the information is reasonably necessary to:
Meet applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request;
Enforce the Association’s Terms of Use;
Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; and/or
Protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of the Association as required or permitted by law.
SECURITY OF YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION
All information provided to the Association is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a proven coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to us. We also protect account information by placing it on secure portions of our Websites that are only accessible by certain qualified employees of the Association. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information.
If you do not wish to use our online payment services, payments and donations may be made by contacting our office by email, telephone or mail using the contact information listed below.
Some of the National Trust’s historic sites’ websites include links to online stores or for ticket sales that are operated by third party companies. You should review the credit card security information and the privacy policies of those third party companies before making a purchase.
COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL LAWS
Children's Privacy Policy
None of the Websites covered by this Privacy Policy knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13. The Websites are not directed to, nor do they have knowledge of, visitors less than 13 years of age. We are committed to protecting children's privacy, and we will monitor our Websites and their users to make sure that their privacy is protected. If we discover that a person under the age of 13 has provided us with any personal identifiable information, we will delete that information from our systems. We are unable to reply to information requests from children under the age of 13, if so identified. A parent or guardian must initiate the requests from children under the age of 13 on their behalf. If we begin marketing to children on-line and we are aware that those children are under the age of 13, the Association will take steps to fully comply with the Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU) and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). To learn more about both of these programs, see www.coppa.org.

ALWAYS provides recipients of email marketing and e-newsletters a clear mechanism to opt-out of receiving information in the future and honors any such requests promptly.
ALWAYS provides accurate header and subject line information prior to sending any emails. The Association commits to sending only emails with specific subject lines and a clear delineation from whom the email was sent.
ALWAYS provides the Association's physical address within the body of all of our email messages.
