laws, any information you submit to the Ontario
Chamber of Commerce will not be used in any manner
to which you have not consented. While the Ontario

number, fax number, e-mail address, and credit card
information. You should be aware that if you
disclose any information on a bulletin board or in a
chat room or other open forum that is hosted by the
Ontario Chamber of Commerce, others may collect that
information to send you unsolicited information from
outside the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, or for
other purposes.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information
We reserve the option to share your contact
information with certain third parties. These can
include financial institutions, service providers,
contractors, or affiliate organizations. You will

well as from said third parties.

but is not limited to, information we automatically
collect on your use and/or actions on our Web site

enter into our search utility). In addition, when a
visitor arrives at our site, we collect the IP
address, operating system, and browser software
used. An IP address (which is not the same as an

geographic location of the connection. The Ontario

age, gender, national origin, income), while
Non-Personally Identifiable Information, is still of

the Ontario Chamber of Commerce does not collect
such information about you through the ontario.org
Web site. However, in recognition of the sensitive
nature of such information, in the event the Ontario
Chamber of Commerce comes into possession of such
information, whether through your voluntary
submission of such information in response to a
special feature on the Web site or by receiving such
information from any of our business partners, such
information shall, when coupled with any of your
Personally Identifiable Information, itself be
deemed to be Personally Identifiable Information and
treated by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce as such.
