This chamber respects our Web site visitors’ right to privacy online. We will not sell or rent personal information to other companies for use in selling products or services.  This chamber uses information for general purposes such as fulfilling your requests for publications and providing anonymous reporting for internal and external purposes.

We may communicate with Web site visitors via e-mail or other online delivery devices only if the Web site visitor agrees to receive those communications. When requesting information from lodging properties, our office shares information with chamber member businesses that can provide you with additional information about lodging and recreation opportunities via e-mail and postal mail.

Visitors who believe they are receiving our communications in error or no longer desire to receive them should inform us and we will remove those names from our mailing lists.
