Definitions
We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, log files, and other mechanisms to gather information about your use of our website.
Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.
Clear GIFs, pixel tags and other technologies
Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer's hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (also referred to as web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with our website to, among other things, track the activities of users of our website, help Weavers of Orlando manage content, and compile statistics about usage of our website.
Log files
Most browsers collect certain information, such as your IP address, device type, screen resolution, operating system version, and internet browser type and version. This information is gathered automatically and stored in log files.
Third party analytics
We also use automated devices and applications to evaluate the use of our services. We use these tools to gather non-personal data about users to help Weavers of Orlando improve our services and user experiences. These analytics providers may use cookies and other technologies to perform their services and may combine the information they collect about you on our website with other information they have collected for their own purposes. This Policy does not cover such uses of data by third parties.

If you upload images to our website, like a picture for your membership profile, those images may include embedded location data. This information can be scrubbed by you prior to uploading. However, if you do not scrub the embedded location data and upload an image that contains it, anyone who sees that image may be able to download and extract location data from it.

Weavers of Orlando may use Google Analytics as a traffic monitoring service to provide us with insights into how visitors use our site. In addition, our hosting provider monitors traffic and maintains logs including IP addresses for performance and security reasons.
Posts and pages on this site may include embedded content, like videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How We Protect Your Information
The security of your Personal Information is important to us and we take reasonable precautions to protect it. Our website is hosted by a reputable host and protected by a variety of firewalls, spam protection, and security measures both by the host and by us. Your personal information can be accessed by designated members of the Weavers of Orlando Board, even if you opt out of displaying your information in the online Membership Directory. The designated Board Members includes at a minimum the Membership Chair, Technology Chair, and members of the Executive Board (President, Vice-President, Vice-President Programs, Treasurer and Secretary). Please understand that whenever you voluntarily disclose Personal Information online, this information cannot be made one-hundred percent secure and, in some cases, that information can be intercepted, collected, and used by others. We work hard to protect your information at all times.
Data Retention
If you leave a comment on a post, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
When you register as a member, we also store the personal information you provide in your user profile. This information is retained on the website for as long as you are a member and may be retained on the website for at least two years after your membership becomes inactive. In addition, if Weavers of Orlando Board Members print a copy of your information, for example as part of a printed membership list, then that printed copy may be retained indefinitely.
