Information Gathering and Cookies

A cookie is a very small test file inserted onto your computer by a website that you visit. When you return to the website, the cookie is then read by the site’s web server. Cookies are used for many things, from making web sites more personal to tracking your web browsing habits.

If you visit our website to read or download information, such as schedules, forms, brochures, we capture and store only the domain name of your computer (for example, aol.com), your browser type and version, and other related information to speed up the performance of web page delivery. All information is deleted from your cache memory when you close the session and leave our site. We collect no other personal information.

We use Google Analytics and Google AdWords as part of our media strategy and it is in place on our urbanaparks.org website in order to learn more about our visitors and customers. If you choose not to be part of this process, you can learn about opting out here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/

 

On-line Transactions

The Urbana Park District allows job applicants to apply for open job positions on-line. The Urbana Park District also allows on-line registration for our programs and purchase of merchandise and gift cards. Any information submitted online for these activities is subject to the same safeguards as if you had engaged in these activities in person rather than over the Internet.

Sending the Urbana Park District Email

We value your feedback. If you send the Urbana Park District an email with questions or comments about our programs or services, we do collect your email address and any other information that you volunteer.

Other Web Sites

This site contains links to other sites. The Urbana Park District is not responsible for privacy practices or the content of such sites.

Children

The Urbana Park District requires the parent or guardian to enter registrations on behalf of minors. Since the UPD website requires an “electronic signature” on the waiver of liability agreement, only a parent or guardian may enroll a minor in an activity. We only collect such information as is necessary to conduct programs and activities.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Urbana Park District does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or services you’ve requested. We may provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with UPD. These companies or individuals may use your information in the normal course of offering classes or activities. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information. We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; or if we believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Urbana Park District policies, or as otherwise required by law.

Changes to this Policy

The Urbana Park District may update this policy. We will notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal information by sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your account or by placing a prominent notice on our website.
