PRIVACY
STATEMENT
The Business Council of New York
State, Inc. is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. Please read
the following policy to understand how your personal information will
be treated as you make use of our offerings. This policy may change from
time to time, so please check back periodically.
The Business Council is a member-oriented
organization and our website is intended to expedite communication with
our members. However, we welcome all Internet users to navigate through
this website for information-gathering purposes.
There is no registration necessary
upon entering our site and we encourage all users to take full advantage
of the information we have provided.
Members of The Business Council
select committees in which they would like to participate. These committee
members may receive information via Internet e-mail related to the committee
on which they have requested participation.
For our members' convenience, The
Business Council also allows members to register for various meetings
and forums on-line. Our site's registration form requires members to provide
contact information (name, address, email address) to be used strictly
for contacting registrants when necessary. We do not share this information
with any third party.
To advance its members' public-policy
agenda, The Business Council will from time to time provide on this site
a facility through which members and others may send letters, faxes and/or
e-mails to members of the New York State Legislature and other government
officials. This facility is provided by a third-party vendor, who has
contracted not to make any other use of the information acquired, and
not to share any of this information with any other party. The Business
Council has access to lists of those who use this e-advocacy facility,
and to information on the messages they sent. Our E-advocacy facility
also allows users to supply us with their e-mail addresses so that we
may send them further communications on issues they are interested in;
but we do not require submission of an e-mail address and we do not send
further information to users unless they have requested it.
To better serve our members and
diagnose problems with our server, The Business Council tracks user traffic
patterns throughout this site and may at times track search terms that
users have entered into our search facility. However, we do not correlate
this information with data regarding individual users.
E-mail harvesting is
forbidden at or on our site. Anyone attempting to harvest our e-mail addresses
will be reported to their Internet Service Provider ("ISP") with a request
to terminate the offending account(s). We have stealth features designed
to record such harvesting attempts
and which will notify automatically the proper authorities.
And finally, The Business Council's
site contains links to other sites. The Business Council does not control
the information collection and distribution policies of Internet domains
other than those of The Business Council and is not responsible for the
privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
If you have any questions about
this privacy statement, the practices of this site, or your dealings with
this Web site, you may contact:
