What We Collect and Store Automatically
If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the website, read pages, or download information, we will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store only the following information about your visit:

• The Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com" if you use a private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu" if you connect from a university's domain) and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access our website;
• The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
• The date and time you access our site;
• The pages you visit; and
• If you linked to our website from another website, the address of that website. We use the information we collect to count the number and type of visitors to the different pages on our site, and to help us make our site more useful to visitors like you.

If You Register for Activities or Contests
When you register for a program or contest of Five Rivers MetroParks, you are no longer an anonymous user to us. During the registration process, Five Rivers MetroParks will ask for your name, email address, postal address, and telephone.

Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide a personalized service to you, the user. None of this information is shared with business partners or other third parties.

If You Send Us E-mail
You may choose to provide us with personal information, as in e-mail with a comment or question. We use the information to improve our service to you or to respond to your request. Sometimes we forward your e-mail to other park employees who may be better able to help you. We do not share our e-mail with any other outside organizations.

Links to Other Sites
Our website has many links to our partners, especially other local like-minded agencies and community groups. In a few cases we link to private organizations. When you link to another site, you are no longer on our site and are subject to the privacy policy of the new site.

What are my choices regarding collection, use and distribution of my information?
MetroParks may, from time to time, send you email regarding our services if you indicated that you wished to receive such notices upon registration. Only Five Rivers MetroParks or one of it’s departments will send you these direct mailings. If you do not want to receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal information. At any time you can edit your Five Rivers MetroParks Account Information to no longer receive such offers and mailings. You will need your Account ID and Password in order to access your Account Information.

You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies you will be unable to use those MetroPark services that require registration in order to participate.

Five Rivers MetroParks does not sell or rent user information to anyone.
