Collection and Use of Personal Information

information about yourself or telling us who you are. We do
not collect personal information, such as your name, address,
phone number, or email address, while you browse. We do, however,
gather information in aggregate on how this site is used,
such as the number of visitors to the site, length of each
visit, and which pages are most commonly used to enter and

Some areas of the THCVB web site utilize browser cookies.
These cookies are used for enhancing the usability of the
web site. You have the option of disabling cookies in your
browser's preferences/options area (refer to your browser's

be added to THCVB email lists. When you choose that option,
the THCVB places you on lists to receive information about
Terre Haute attractions, events and/or accommodations of general
interest to individuals who live in or visit Terre Haute.
As many of the attraction, event or accommodation organizations
are THCVB members we may also, from time to time, allow those
members to send information via these lists. In these cases
third parties provide the THCVB with the message they wish
to distribute to our users and the THCVB distributes that
message on their behalf; we do not share your personal information
with that third party, nor do we give that third party access
to your email address. Your voluntary response to any promotional
message constitutes your permission for that third party to
contact you directly.

and Usage Policy at any time. Your continued use of this site

Net Security Statement
The Terre Haute Convention & Visitors Bureau (THCVB) takes
the confidentiality of your information very seriously. That
is why we utilize SSL technology to encrypt your personal
information whenever you choose to buy on-line via our site.SSL
stands for "Secure Sockets Layer" protocol. It was
developed by Netscape Communications Corporation. SSL provides
data security between application protocols such as HTTP (the
protocol used by the Web) and the networking protocol TCP/IP.
SSL sits between the network I/O and the data on your web
server. SSL establishes a secure connection between the server
and an SSL-capable browser then encrypts and decrypts information
as it is sent and received.
By encrypting messages, SSL can assure that transactions
are private and that information has not been altered during
transmission. SSL can also authenticate the server to the
browser by providing the server's certificate to the browser.
The browser must be capable of using the SSL protocol, including
verifying certificates and encrypting and decrypting messages.
Several browsers, such as Spyglass Mosaic, Internet Explorer
and Netscape Navigator, support SSL. (the above text is from
O'reilly Web Site Professional Advanced Topics)
Be attentive to the following situations to ensure your confidentiality
is not compromised on your end. Your privacy might be compromised:
- if someone else has access to your computer, and is able
to read email or files stored on your disk
- if you print email to/from THCVB on paper, and someone
finds the paper
- if you use a workplace computer - your employer has a
legal right to read your email on that machine
- if you accidentally make a mistake on the email address
and send it to someone other than to THCVB
- if someone obtains the password to your email account
- if you talk about it to someone
