The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Northern Virginia (HCCNVA) demonstrates its commitment to everything in our power to ensure your right to privacy. We are committed to developing long lasting relationships that are built on trust. The HCCNVA will never violate that trust. Our policies and procedures for handling member information have been created with the understanding that Internet technologies are still evolving, and that Internet business methods are continuing to evolve to meet the needs and opportunities of the changing technologies. As a result, the HCCNVA's policies and procedures are subject to change.

In the course of serving our members, the HCCNVA acquires, stores and transmits member communications and information that members may regard as private or sensitive. Some of this information - such as the member’s name, address, telephone number, and credit card data - is provided to the HCCNVA by its members in order to establish service. Other information - such as the member’s account status, choice of services, and member logs - is created and maintained by the HCCNVA in the normal course of providing service.

The HCCNVA may also uses cookies, which are small pieces of information that a web site can store in a designated file on a user's computer for various reasons. For example, the HCCNVA might use cookies on the landing pages of products sold online which record the member information that is required on the order form. This information is then forwarded to an internal sales tracking database within the HCCNVA. In addition, the HCCNVA may store members’ electronic mail and other communications as a necessary incident to the transmission and delivery of those communications.

Data Security
The HCCNVA will protect the confidentiality of its members’ information, account information and personal communications to the fullest extent possible and consistent with the law and the legitimate interests of the HCCNVA, its partners, its employees and other members of the HCCNVA's services. To protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of information that is collected from members, the HCCNVA has appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in place.

How is member information used?
The HCCNVA may share member information with selected partners; for example, to provide members with information about products which might be of interest to the member or to enable the member to take advantage of special partner programs. The HCCNVA may also use member information to provide its members with system information or information about new or upgraded products.

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. In addition, the HCCNVA shares its web site usage information about visitors to HCCNVA's web sites with third-party advertising companies for the purpose of targeting HCCNVA's Internet banner advertisements on the HCCNVA's sites and other sites. For this purpose, the HCCNVA and such companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous.

Opt Out & Modifications
Members may opt out of receiving notices of new or upgraded products from HCCNVA and HCCNVA partners by contacting HCCNVA. However, members may not opt out of receiving information from the HCCNVA which is essential for maintaining or updating members’ accounts or system information.

Disclosure of member information and communications
The HCCNVA will not otherwise disclose its members’ personal and account information unless the HCCNVA has reason to believe that disclosing such information is legal and necessary to identify, make contact with, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm or interfering with the rights or property of the HCCNVA, HCCNVA's members, or others, or where the HCCNVA has a good faith belief that the law requires such disclosure. The HCCNVA also will not, except for reasons stated below, disclose to third parties the contents of any electronic mail or other electronic communications that the HCCNVA stores or transmits for its members. The circumstances under which HCCNVA will disclose such electronic member communications are when:

It is necessary in order to provide service to the member; It is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the HCCNVA and its members; It is required to cooperate with interception orders, warrants, subpoenas, or other legal process that the HCCNVA determines in its sole discretion to be valid and enforceable; and It is necessary to provide to a law enforcement agency when the contents are inadvertently obtained by the HCCNVA and appear to pertain to the commission of a crime.

The HCCNVA disclaims any intention to censor, edit or engage in ongoing review or surveillance of communications stored on or transmitted through its facilities by members or others. The HCCNVA will, however, review, delete or block access to communications that may harm the HCCNVA, its members or third parties. The grounds on which the HCCNVA may take such action include, but are not limited to, actual or potential violations of HCCNVA's Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy.
