Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to complete a payment or enroll in community emergency notifications. Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about Village occurrences, employment opportunities, permit status, or changes to this privacy policy.

Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. We do not collect or store credit card data, but any personally identifiable information we collect is transmitted securely and is encrypted. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the Web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, Human Resources or Community Development) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
