USAGE STATISTICS
In order to generate usage statistics to help us improve
our Web site, we automatically collect certain information
on every visitor to the site. However, this information
does not include "personal identifiers," such
as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address,
etc. Each time a request is made to view a page within
the Web site, a log file captures generic user information.
Examples of this kind of information include:
· the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
through which you access the Internet (aol.com, earthlink.net,
etc.);
· the Internet protocol (IP) address of
the individual computer (or proxy server) making the
request;
· the type of Internet browser and computer
operating system you are using (Microsoft Explorer 5.0,
Apple Mac OS, etc.);
· the date and time you access the site;
· the Internet address (URL) of the site
from which you may have linked to this site.
All information collected by way of server log files
is used in aggregate form only and may be analyzed for
trend data and other statistical purposes.
ONLINE FORMS AND E-MAIL
The Lexington Tourism Bureau Web Site does not collect
personally identifying information such as name, address,
telephone number, etc., unless you provide the information
voluntarily. We may ask for such information so that
we can tailor the interactive features of this Web site
to your specific interests and needs and in order to
most efficiently and effectively provide you with information.
You are free to provide or not to provide the requested
information. If you choose not to provide this type
of information, you can still visit most of the Web
site, but you may be unable to take advantage of some
of its features.
To order the Lexington Missouri Visitor's Guide, you
must enter the appropriate contact information for mailing
purposes. We may ask you if we can use this information
to contact you in the future with updated information
on vacations in Missouri, but the choice is yours. The
information you provide will not be sold to outside
companies and organizations.
In some instances information requested through this
web site is required in order for you to transact business
with the Lexington Tourism Bureau. This information
is maintained through mechanisms such as letters, phone
calls and hard copy applications submitted in person.
This information may also be provided to other governmental
organizations in an attempt to improve efficiency and
effectiveness.
If you decide to send us an electronic mail message
(e-mail), the message will usually contain your return
e-mail address. If you include personally identifying
information in your e-mail because you want us to address
issues specific to your situation, we may use that information
in responding to your request. This may require that
we share the information with another agency if the
other agency's participation is necessary to effectively
respond to your request/inquiry. All collected information
will be a closed record to the extent allowed by the
Missouri Sunshine Law.
Also, e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception.
Please send only information necessary to help us process
your request.
