Personal Information

We only collect personal information that you choose to give us on your registration form or when you e-mail us at highlandscameraclub.ca.

Any personal information you provide will be used to respond to your message and/or provide you with the requested service or product.

We do not collect your personal information if you browse or download from our web site. To the extent that our web server may collect IP addresses, that information is used only for the operation and security of our web site and cannot identify a specific person directly.

We do not disclose or sell your personal information to any third party.

Haliburton Highlands Camera Club recommends that unencrypted personal information should never be circulated over the Internet or by e-mail.

Cookies

A cookie is a small file containing certain pieces of information that a website creates when you visit the site. It can track how and when you use a site, which site you visited immediately before, and it can store that information about you. A cookie is not a program, code or plug-in.

There are two common types of cookies, “session cookies” and “persistent cookies.” Session cookies store information only for the length of time that you are connected to a website – they are written to a temporary location on your hard drive. Once you leave the website, the originator of the cookie no longer has the information that was contained on it.

The information stored in “persistent cookies” is written onto your hard drive and remains there until the expiry date of the cookie.

If you are concerned about having your browser enabled to accept cookies while you are surfing other websites, we recommend that you enable your browser to notify you when it is receiving a cookie. This will enable you to accept or reject any cookie presented by the web server you are visiting.

In the case of the Haliburton Highlands Camera Club, session cookies are created when you log in to the ‘Member Only’ section of the website.  If you ask to have the system remember your log in credentials (User & Password) that will create a persistent cookie.

External sites

If you visit any of the visible external links listed on our web pages, we cannot guarantee the following: the content of the external site, how they use personal information, or their privacy practices. When entering another website, you may find that it has its own privacy policy or statement that you can review in determining whether to proceed.
