Information Collection and Use
When you visit the DowntownLemoore.com website, social media channels and other DLMA digital platforms, we collect information about you, your visit and your engagement in a number of ways.
Our web server automatically recognizes site visitor traffic through non-personally identifying information that the browser you used makes available. This information includes things like your domain, the type of device used and Internet browser, geographic location, the date and time of site visit, duration of visit, pages access, and the referring page (the webpage that contained the link to our site that you clicked on to get there). We aggregate this information with other site visitors and use this information to measure performance, analyze User traffic patterns, and improve the overall website experience. You may also find links to third party services, sites and organizations through the DowntownLemoore.com website and such third-party services may collect additional information from you. Please consult such third parties regarding their practices as DLMA has no control over third party services/sites.
​
At times, we may request that you provide us with personal data. We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
-
Where you have provided consent for us to use your personal data, such as for our newsletter or marketing purposes.
-
Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
-
Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
-
Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligations
We may provide your personal data to our service providers such as our payment processors if you should choose to make a purchase through the DowntownLemoore.com website and provide such personal data to us. We will keep your personal data only as long as necessary to provide you with our services and for legitimate business purposes such as maintaining the performance of our services, consistent with applicable laws. Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time. You may always request that we delete your personal data, and we will honor such request, as further outlined below.
Cookies
We also use "cookies" on the website and in digital advertising (a small piece of data stored on the User's computer by the User's web browser while the User is browsing) in order to provide a better User experience and customized advertisements, content and information. The use of cookies is a standard practice among Internet websites and most Internet web browsers. Through your computer settings, and through some Internet browsers, you may customize your User experience to reject or delete cookies. Please note, some features on this site may not function properly without cookies. You can find out more about cookies by visiting http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
Interest Based Advertising
Interest based advertising is the collection of data from different sources and across different platforms in order to predict an individual's preferences or interest and to deliver to that individual, or his/her computer, smart phone or tablet, advertising based on his/her assumed preference or interest inferred from the collection of data pertaining to that individual or others who may have a similar profile or similar interests.
​
We work with a variety of third parties to attempt to understand the profiles of the individuals who are most likely to be interested in visiting Downtown Lemoore so that we can serve our advertisements to them on websites, social media channels and other partner website and entities. These third parties include: (a) advertising networks, which collect information about a person's interests when that person views or interacts with one of their advertisements; (2) attribution partners, which measure the effectiveness of certain advertisements; and (3) business partners, which collect information when a person views or interacts with one of their advertisements.
​
In collaboration with these third parties, we collect information about our customers, prospects and other individuals over time and across different platforms when they use these platforms or interact with them. Individuals may submit information directly on our website, social channels or on platforms run by third parties, or by interacting with us, our advertisements, or emails they receive from us or from third parties. We may use special tools that are commonly used for this purpose, such as cookies, beacons, pixels, tags, mobile advertising IDs, flash cookies, and similar technologies. We may have access to databases of information collected by our business partners.
​
The information we or third party collect enables us to learn what engagements with Downtown Lemoore content the person made, what ads or content the person sees, on which ads or links the person clicks, and other actions that the person takes on our website, social properties, or in response to our emails, or when visiting or using third parties' platforms.
Users may opt out of receiving interest-based advertising by advertising networks that may be delivered to them on our platform and other websites by visiting the following website: optout.aboutads.info. This site feature will opt a visitor out of many – but not all – of the interest-based advertising activities in which we or third parties engage.
Do Not Track Policy
California law requires that operators of websites and online services disclose how they respond to a Do Not Track signal. Some browsers have incorporated "Do Not Track" features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the website or online service that a User visits, indicating that the User does not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret Do Not Track signals, we do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. We continue to follow the industry and will implement this service once a common understanding of how to treat Do Not Track signals is defined.
Service Providers
We work with third-party service providers who provide website, application development, hosting, maintenance, payment processing, and other services for us. These third parties may have access to, or process non-personal and personal data as part of providing those services for us. We limit the information provided to these service providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions, consistent with applicable law, and our contracts with them require them to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
Social Media
If you create an account using Facebook Connect, we have access to any information you have made public on your profile, and may collect and store that information. Similarly, if you have made public posts from your other social media accounts that include our specialized hashtags, we may collect and use that information to learn more about you.
Surveys, Sweepstakes, Online Forms & Email
The DLMA does not collect personally identifying information such as name, address, telephone number, etc., unless you provide the information voluntarily. We may ask for personal information so that we can tailor the interactive features of our website to your specific interests and to provide information you have requested such as Visitor Planning Guides and Email Newsletters. We may also capture personal information from you if you complete an online survey.
​
The DLMA makes commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all state and federal laws, including CAN-SPAM. You can opt-out of email communications from us at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in any email you receive from us, or by sending an e-mail to info@downtownlemoore.com that contains the email address you wish us to unsubscribe from our lists.
​
In the event that the DLMA conducts an online promotion, contest, or sweepstakes, information we collect will be used consistent with the terms and conditions outlined in the rules and regulations, and consistent with applicable law. If the promotion involves the collection of your mobile phone number, a check-box will be provided to opt-in to receiving automated text messages during the promotion and once the promotion has ended, you need only text "stop" in reply to any message you receive in order to opt-out. You are not required to provide your mobile number for any discounts or coupons. Coupons or other special offers we provide you via text message may also be acquired through an email address by sending an email to info@downtownlemoore.com with "coupon" in the subject line. The DLMA makes commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Telephone Consumer Privacy Act, and will not contact you unless you have given prior express consent to receive messages from us.
​
Any personal information you provide will not be sold to outside companies or organizations. However, we may share your information with key business partners, marketing partners and affiliates, who may perform functions on our behalf, who may have products and services we believe are of interest to you. We have contractual relationships with partners and affiliates that require them to safeguard your information and comply with US law, which includes allowing you to easily opt-out of any future communications.
​
If you would like us to delete all of your personal information (except for information that we keep for record-keeping purposes) and/or remove your name and address from promotional lists (including any personal information gathered by our service providers) and place your name on our "do not contact" list, contact us at info@downtownlemoore.com and provide us with details of what you require. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to delete your information from our active files. Please note that requests to update your personal information may take up to 10 business days.
We may release personal information if we believe in good faith that: the law or legal process requires it; we have received a valid administrative request from a law enforcement agency; or such release is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our respective staff, affiliates, business partners, customers, or others.
Minors and Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. Our website and digital properties are not directed to children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 18 without obtaining parental consent. If we learn that personal data has been collected from persons under 18 years of age and without verifiable parental consent, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under 18 years of age has shared their personal information with the DLMA, then you may alert us at info@downtownlemoore.com and request that we delete your child's personal data from our systems.
