Mexico Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. is committed to protecting online users’ privacy.
We believe that protection of personal privacy on the Internet is our responsibility, to
assure citizen confidence, increase participation in online activities and support effective
delivery of services. At mexicovfd.org, we intend to give you as much control as possible
over your personal information. The purpose of our policy is to inform you about the types of
information we gather when you visit our site, how we may use that information, whether we disclose
it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the information.
The following is the privacy policy for this site (all pages starting with mexicovfd.org).
If you send us an electronic mail message with a question or comment that contains personally identifying
information, or fill out a form that e-mails us this information, we will only use the personally identifiable
information to respond to your request and analyze trends. We may redirect your message to another agency or
person who is in a better position to answer your question.
We may collect some information that is used for analysis and statistical purposes that help us manage the mexicovfd.org site.
- Information that we collect for statistical purposes
We automatically collect electronically generated information about your visit to our site, such as the date,
type of browser used, and technical Internet protocol data. We collect this information about each user session
from our user logs, and refer to it in summary form for statistical purposes.
- Information that you provide us when using our interactive forms and functions
This information may include such things as name, address, telephone number, and other personal and business data,
depending on the particular service you use. We collect only that data necessary to provide the service that you
are requesting.
- Control of personal information
At any time, while accessing our site, any user, while online, may decline participation in any activity that asks
for information (i.e. survey, e-mail or e-commerce). Your choice not to participate will in no way affect your
ability to use any other feature on our site. In online applications that ask for personal information, you also
are provided the option of canceling or "clearing all fields" of information and terminating the application.
You also are provided an automatic way to "unsubscribe" to any newsletters, notices, schedules, etc., sent
to you automatically by E-mail in our various contact services (listserves).
- Use of cookies
- We do not use "persistent" cookies to collect permanent information. We may use "persistent"
cookies (which would reside on the user’s computer) to increase ease of use. Such a cookie might contain the user’s
ID number, thereby relieving the user of having to always enter the number. Under this circumstance we will only use
a "persistent" cookie when you give your permission.
- We do use "non-persistent" cookies in applications (such as the calendar application or a visit session) that keeps track
of a user’s online session or make it possible for you to complete a form or use a function, but this cookie disappears
when you finish filling out an application, or searching a database.
- Disclosure to third parties
We do not share personal identifying information with any third party without your permission. We disclose only in
aggregate form our statistical analyses or demographics of users to third parties. This information is not reported
or used in any manner that would reveal personally identifiable information, and will not be released to any outside
parties unless we are legally required to do so in connection with law enforcement investigations or other legal
proceedings.
If you believe that Mexico Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. is using your personally identifiable information for
a purpose other than outlined in this privacy statement, you may contact the New York State Attorney General's Office.
