Town Planner's Privacy Policy

How do we collect information?

We collect information about you through server logs, cookies, and web forms.

When you visit TownPlanner.com, our server records the time of your visit, your computer's IP address, the name and version of the web browser software you are using, and which pages you choose to view on our site. If you linked to our site from another website, that information will be recorded as well.

If your web browser has cookies enabled, you will receive a cookie that, on your next visit, will tell us the last page and community you visited so that we may return you to that same page. If you choose to become a member of Town Planner, the cookie will also contain information allowing us to recognize your member account. If you wish, you can disable cookies on your browser or choose not to receive cookies from TownPlanner.com. You are not required to use cookies to visit our site, to become a member, or to participate in membership activities.

Our web site contains a variety of forms. These include (but may not to be limited to) search forms, forms to allow you to contact us for information, and forms to allow you to become a member of our site and participate in membership activities. Any information that you choose to submit through these forms, including personal information such as your name, address, email address, etc. is saved in a database. If you choose to submit a contact or information request form, the information you provide will also be e-mailed to your local publisher (if a print version of the Town Planner calendar is active in your community) or to our corporate office (if your community does not currently have a print version of the calendar).

What do we do with your information?

Town Planner strives to promote hometown life and community by keeping families in touch with what's happening in and around town and by promoting locally-owned businesses. The primary reason we collect information is to improve our website by giving you more of the information that is important to you. If you want to save us some research, let us know what we can do to give you a better website and/or calendar!

If you sign up for a Town Planner membership (either business or personal), you may choose to receive periodic newsletters from us. You are not required to receive these newsletters and can opt out of them at any time; you are not required to receive them in order to enjoy the other membership benefits.

If you sign up for a business membership in an area with an active print calendar, the local publisher may wish to contact you with more information about the print calendar. Although many types of local businesses benefit greatly from the exposure they receive in the print calendar, you are not required to advertise in it to take advantage of the features of online business membership.

Although we may make some information about your interests (the businesses, events, and offers you tell us you're interested in) available to our sponsors, any personally identifying information we collect (your name, address, email, etc.) is used solely by the Town Planner corporate office and our publishers. We do not share, trade, or sell your personal information with third parties unless required to do so by law.

How do we protect your information?

Our website resides on a dedicated server and we follow standard practices for monitoring and securing our network against break-ins. Particularly sensitive information, such as any request for credit card payment (business memberships only), is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption as it moves between your computer and our web server, and by encrypted email as it is delivered from our server to your local publisher. We do not store your credit card information on our web server.
