If you contact Harford Vista!, we may keep a record of that email or written correspondence. Harford Vista! also occasionally asks users to complete surveys that we use for research purposes.

Harford Vista! uses cookies to store and sometimes track information about you, measure the effectiveness of banner advertising, and analyze site activity. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer. Cookies are used to remind us of who you are, and to measure traffic patterns and the use of individual services.

When you are on the Harford Vista! web site and are asked for personal information by Harford Vista!, you are sharing that information with Harford Vista! alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise. Please be aware that Harford Vista! advertisers, or web sites that have links on our site, may collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of those web sites are not covered by this privacy statement.

The primary goal of Harford Vista! in collecting personal information is to provide the user with a customized experience. By knowing a little bit about you, Harford Vista! is able to deliver more relevant advertisements and content and, hence, better service to you.

Harford Vista! uses WebTrends to analyze traffic to this web site. WebTrends does not create individual profiles for users. Running WebTrends against our log files only creates aggregate data.

In our role of delivering advertisements, Harford Vista! plays the role of middleman. Harford Vista! takes the advertisement and displays it to users. The advertiser never has access to individual personal information.

Harford Vista! also does research on our users' demographics, interests and behavior based on information provided to us from our server logs or from surveys. We do this to better understand our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. Harford Vista! may share this aggregated data with advertisers or business partners.

As a general rule, Harford Vista! will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

From time to time, Harford Vista! may use third parties to collect or distribute information to you and other members. Harford Vista! will protect confidentiality of that information, and not allow such third parties to use that information other than in connection with the provisions of the service.

Harford Vista! may preserve content and may disclose content to any third party if required to do so by law or in good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with legal process, (b) enforce the terms of service, (c) respond to claims that any content violated the rights of third parties, or (d) protect the rights, property or personal saftey of Harford Vista!, its users, and the public.

Harford Vista! may, from time to time, send you email regarding our products and services.

Harford Vista! does not sell or rent user information to anyone.

You may change any or all of your information by emailing us with the changes. You can choose to have your information eliminated from our databases entirely by contacting Harford Vista! at editor@harfordvista.com.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Harford Vista! cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best efforts to ensure its security on our systems.

The safety and privacy rights of children are very important to us. Harford Vista! is a general audience web site. Although we do not warrant Harford Vista! site content or, obviously, links to other site content to be safe for children, we believe its content is safe for children. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from users under the age of 13.

Please note that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online, including in your email or other correspondence, that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you disclose personal information online that is accessible to others, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any information about yourself. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
