Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 10, 2024

DESTINATION VICTOR NY knows that your privacy is important to you, and we want you to know that it is important to us, too. We have created this Policy to explain the types of information we collect through our website on which it is posted (including mobile-optimized versions of our website) and the various social networking platforms we use (each, a “Site”), how we will use, disclose and protect this information once it is collected, and how you can opt-out of some of our uses and disclosures of your information.

Here are a few general principles to keep in mind as you read through this Policy:

This Site is owned and operated by DESTINATION VICTOR NY, which is located at 50 West Main Street, Victor, New York, Ontario County, New York State in the United States of America.

As our business evolves, this Policy may change, so check back to this page periodically to make sure you understand how your Personal Information will be treated.

This Policy does not apply to information you may provide to us, or that we may obtain, other than through this Site, such as over the phone, by mail, or in person.

THIS SITE MAY OR MAY NOT PLACE COOKIES AND LOCAL SHARED OBJECTS ON YOUR COMPUTER OR DEVICE WHICH ARE FURTHER DESCRIBED BELOW. BY USING THIS SITE, YOU AGREE TO THIS.

Social Networking

We maintain an online presence on several social networking and blogging platforms, such as Facebook. We also incorporate some third-party social networking features onto our Site that allow you to share and/or publicly post content or information from our Site to your profile on a third-party social network. Through these platforms and features, we receive some Personal Information and some Site Usage Information about you, and this Privacy Policy applies to that information as well. In addition, third-party social networking platforms and blogging platforms have their own privacy policies which explain how the third-parties that provide them will use and protect your information.

Site Usage Information

As is the case with many websites, our server automatically collects your IP address when you visit our Site, and we may associate that with your domain name or that of your internet access provider. If you visit a mobile-optimized version of the Site, we may receive data from or about the mobile phone or devices you use to access the Site, including type of device and mobile carrier. We may also capture certain “clickstream data” pertaining to your Site usage. "Clickstream Data" includes, for example, information about your computer or device, web browser and operating system and their settings, the referring page that linked you to our Site, pages, content or ads you see or click on during your visit and when and for how long you do so, items you download, the next website you visit when you leave this Site, and any search terms you have entered on this Site or a referral site.

Among other things, this information enables us to generate analytics reports on the usage of our Site. To opt-out of your Site usage being included in our Google Analytics reports, you may follow these instructions.

In addition, we may deploy various tracking technologies on this Site to collect additional information about your Site visits. For example:

Cookies are small data files stored on your computer or device at the request of a website. A cookie assigns a unique numerical identifier to your web browser, and may enable us to recognize you as the same user who was at our Site in the past, and relate your use of this Site to other information about you, such as your Site Usage Information and Personal Information. Cookies may be used to enhance your experience on this Site (for example, by storing your username so you can log in easily, keeping you logged into this Site after you have provided your password, and storing the contents of your shopping cart as you browse) or to collect general usage and aggregated statistical information, and detect and prevent fraud. Most browsers can be set to detect cookies and give you an opportunity to reject them, but refusing cookies may, in some cases, inhibit or preclude your use of this Site or its features. To learn more about the use of cookies, including how to manage or delete them, click here.

HTML5 (the language some websites are coded in) may be used to store information on your computer or device about your Site usage activities. This information can be retrieved by us to determine how our Site is being used by our visitors, how it can be improved, and to customize it for our users.

A pixel tag (also known as a “clear GIF” or “web beacon”) is a tiny image – typically just one-pixel – that can be placed on a webpage or in our electronic communications to you in order to help us measure the effectiveness of our content by, for example, counting the number of individuals who visit us online or verifying whether you’ve opened one of our e-mails or seen one of our webpages.

These tracking technologies may be deployed by us and/or by our service providers or their partners on our behalf. These technologies enable us to assign a unique identifier to you, and relate your Site Usage Information to other information about you, including your Personal Information.

“Linked-To” Websites

This Site may contain links, banners, widgets or advertisements that lead to other websites. We are not responsible for these other sites, and so their posted privacy policies (not this Policy) will govern the collection and use of your information on them. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each website visited after leaving this Site to learn about how your information is treated by others.

Do-Not-Track Disclosures

Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” (DNT) signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. Because there currently is no industry standard concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals, we currently do not change our tracking practices (which are explained in more detail under the Site Usage Information section above) in response to DNT settings in your web browser. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, we will reassess how to respond to these signals.

Our third-party partners, such as ad networks, web analytics companies and social media and networking platforms, collect information about your online activities over time and across our Site and other online properties. These third-parties do not change their tracking practices in response to DNT settings in your web browser and we do not obligate these parties to honor DNT settings.

We utilize Google Analytics for our web analytics and you can opt-out
from your data being used by Google Analytics by visiting:

To perform the above functions, we may match information collected from you through different means or at different times, including both Personal Information and Site Usage Information, and use such information along with information obtained from other sources (including third-parties) such as demographic information and updated contact information.

We or our service providers may also use your information to assess the level of interest in, and use of, this Site, our e-mails and our other messaging campaigns both on an individual basis and in the aggregate.

What Information May or May Not be Collected on this Site?

User-Provided Information

“Personal Information” is information that can be used to identify you as an individual or allow someone to contact you, as well as information attributed with such information. We collect Personal Information such as your:

name, company name, postal address(es), e-mail address(es), telephone numbers, fax numbers;
photograph and gender;
credit card and other payment information, your purchase, site browsing and transaction history;
job history and application information; and
interests, hobbies and demographic information.

For example, we collect Personal Information when you conduct a transaction on our Site, create an account on our Site, sign up for our newsletters, register for events, donate through our Site, submit forms for grassroots actions, make online purchases, enter sweepstakes and contests, complete surveys, contribute to a chat room, bulletin board, list serve, blog, wiki or other social forum on this Site, or submit a comment or question to us using a “contact us” or similar feature on this Site.

A “tell-a-friend” or online greeting card tool provided on the Site and/or in our e-mails allows you to send information about our articles, products and offerings to another person. When you use these offerings, we may ask you for the name and information of the other person, and that information will be protected pursuant to this Privacy Policy.

By using our website, you consent to our use of these tracking technologies as described above.

Your Access Rights

You may review, update or modify certain of the Personal Information that is stored in our records by contacting us through our 'Contact' page. Be sure to include your reason in the 'Additional Information' section. We may ask you to verify your identity and to provide other details before we are able to provide you with any information, correct any inaccuracies, or delete any information. Your right to delete your information is subject to our records retention policies.

Security

While we endeavor to protect the security and integrity of sensitive Personal Information collected via this Site, due to the inherent nature of the internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission through the internet or while stored on our system or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.

If you correspond with us by e-mail or using web forms like a “contact us” feature on our Site, you should be aware that your transmission might not be secure. A third-party could view the information you send in transit by such means. We will have no liability for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts of third-parties during or after transmission.

If you create an account on our Site, you are responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your account password, and you shall be responsible for any activity that occurs using your account credentials, whether or not you authorized such activity. Please notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security.

If we believe that the security of your Personal Information in our care may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If a notification is appropriate, we will endeavor to notify you as promptly as possible under the circumstances. If we have your e-mail address, we may notify you by e-mail. You consent to our use of e-mail as a means of such notification. If you prefer for us to use the U.S. Postal Service to notify you in this situation, please use the form on our 'Contact' page to let us know.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may change this Policy from time-to-time. When we do, we will let you know by posting the changed Policy on this page with a new “Effective Date.” In some cases (for example, if we significantly expand our use or sharing of your Personal Information), we may also tell you about changes by additional means, such as by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address we have on file for you. In some cases, we may request your consent to the changes.
