Types of Data Collected, Stored, and Processed

While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Data”). Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:

We may use your Personal Data to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe link or instructions provided in any email we send or by contacting us info@visitwestvolusia.com and include your name, email address and specific, relevant information about the communications you wish to no longer receive.
Usage Data
We may also collect information how the Service is accessed and used (“Usage Data”). This Usage Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique cookie and device identifiers and other diagnostic data.
Location Data
We may use and store information about your location if you give us permission to do so (“Location Data”). We use this data to provide features of our Service, and to improve and customize our Service.
You can enable or disable location services when you use our Service at any time, through your device settings.
Tracking Cookies Data
Like many websites, the Service uses automatic data collection tools, such as cookies, embedded web links and web beacons. These tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends to the Service. They may also collect information about your Internet Protocol (IP) address, a number automatically assigned to your computer or device whenever you connect to the Internet. It is a unique address assigned by your Internet service provider or IT department on a TCP/IP network. Among other things, the IP address allows web servers to locate and identify your device. The automatic data collection tools also may collect information about your clickstream behavior. This includes, for example, the pages you view and the links you click. These tools help make your visit to our Service easier, more efficient and more valuable by providing you with a customized experience and recognizing you when you return. You can block cookies through your browser settings but understand that some Service features may not work correctly depending on how you choose to manage cookies.
Some web browsers may give you the ability to enable a Do Not Track feature that sends signals to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different from blocking or deleting cookies, as browsers with a Do Not Track feature enabled may still accept cookies. No known industry standard currently exists on how organizations should respond to Do Not Track signals, although one may develop in the future. The Service does not currently recognize and respond to Do Not Track signals.
Our Service includes social media features, such as social media widgets that link to a social media website or allow you to share website content. These features may collect your IP address and the URL of the page you are visiting on the Service, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features such as widgets are hosted by a third party. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the third-party company providing it.
