Destination Dawsonville respects the privacy rights of all visitors to our website. The following describes how we will protect the information we receive through this website.

The Information We Collect And How We Use It

When you enter information on this website, such as when you order products in our on-line store or enter contact information, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting a form. If you elect to engage in these activities we may ask you to provide us personal information (such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, day phone number and credit card information when ordering products or services), as well as create a username and password for certain on-line activities. This information allows us to keep a user profile so that we may customize preferences for each specific user, as well as provide a method for users to submit information and orders and receive back either the information or products desired.

We may or may not share website usage information about visitors to our website, who have received a targeted promotional campaign, with a third-party company for the purpose of targeting future campaigns and upgrading visitor information used in reporting statistics. For this purpose, we and our third-party companies may note or track some of the pages you visit on our website.

Visitors will be given a choice when registering whether they would like to be on our mailing list. Only agents working on behalf of our Company and under confidentiality agreements will send you these direct mailings and only if you indicated that you wish to receive this information from us. At any time, you can easily inform us of your preference to no longer receive such offers and mailings by contacting us as noted below or via email through the website.

Protection Of Your Information

A variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information have been implemented. Secured networks are used to contain a user's personal information. This information is only accessible by a limited number of employees who have special access rights to such systems. Also, when you place orders or access your personal information, we offer the use of a secure server. All the sensitive/credit information supplied by users is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into databases to be only accessed as stated above.
