Internet Privacy Policy Statement
It is the policy of the Missouri Travel Council that we will collect no personal information about you when you visit our website unless you choose to provide that information to us.
Here is how we handle information about your visit to our website:
Information Collected
If you do nothing during your visits but browse throughout our website, read pages, or download information, we will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store the following information about your visit:
- The Internet domain and Internet address of the computer you are using;
- The type of browser and operating system used to access our website;
- The date and time you access our website;
- The pages you visit; and
- If you linked to our website from another website, the address to that website.
We use this information to help us make our website more useful to visitors, such as learning about the number of visitors to our website and the types of technology our visitors are using. We do not track or record personal information about individuals.
If you Send Us Personal Information
If you choose to provide us with personal information, as in an E-mail to Missouri Travel Council or someone else in the office, or by filling out an electronic form with your personal information and submitting it to us through our website, we use that information only for the purposes you have authorized. We treat E-mails the same way as we treat letters sent to the Missouri Travel Council.
Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent to your browser – along with a web page – when you access a website. There are two kinds of cookies. A session cookie is a line of text that is stored temporarily in your computer’s memory. Because a session cookie is never written to a drive, it is destroyed as soon as you close your browser. A persistent cookie is a more permanent line of text that is saved by your browser to a file on your hard drive.
The Missouri Travel Council uses session cookies only. We do not use any persistent cookies.
Web Forms
We request information when you fill out web forms, and correspond with us. Forms that request information from you will clearly indicate information that is required – such as a name and mailing address – and any information that is optional. It will be apparent when you are on a part of our website that requires personal information because we will ask for it.
Links to Other Websites
The Missouri Travel Council’s website provides links to state agencies, departments, and other external sites. The privacy policy described here does not apply to any external sites. Once you access another site through a link we provide, we recommend that you read the individual policy statements of each website.
