Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 10, 2026

The Lanesboro Area Chamber of Commerce, operating Visit Lanesboro & Whalan, respects the privacy of visitors to lanesboro.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through our website, how we use it, and the third-party services that may receive information through the site.

Information You Provide

We may collect information you voluntarily provide through forms on lanesboro.com, such as your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, message, newsletter preferences, visitor guide request information, membership application information, or other information requested by a particular form.

We use this information primarily to fulfill the service or request associated with the form, such as mailing a Visitor Guide, processing a Chamber membership application, responding to an inquiry, or managing an email subscription. We may also use it as needed to operate our programs and services.

Website Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use lanesboro.com. Google Analytics may collect information such as pages viewed, website interactions, approximate geographic location, browser and device information, referral information, and identifiers stored through cookies or similar technologies.

We use this information to understand website performance, improve the visitor experience, evaluate our content, and measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

Advertising and Campaign Measurement

We use iPromote and related advertising technology to advertise Lanesboro & Whalan, measure the effectiveness of those advertising efforts, and, where applicable, deliver advertising to people who have previously visited lanesboro.com.

iPromote and its technology providers may use JavaScript tags, cookies, pixels, online identifiers, or similar technologies to collect information about ad exposure, advertising interactions, website visits, device and browser information, IP address, approximate location, website activity, conversions, and retargeting activity.

The iPromote tracking technology used on lanesboro.com may also detect submissions made through forms that are native to our website. Information transmitted for advertising measurement may include information entered into a native website form, such as an email address, as well as information such as the date and time of the submission.

We use this information to better understand whether our advertising contributes to website visits, inquiries, subscriptions, visitor information requests, and other actions on lanesboro.com.

Email Communications

If you subscribe to an email newsletter or other communication, we may use the information you provide to send the communications you requested.

We use Constant Contact to manage and deliver certain email communications. Constant Contact may process information such as your email address, subscription status, email opens, and link interactions in order to provide and measure those services.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those messages.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

These technologies may be used to:

  • measure website traffic and usage;
  • distinguish visitors and sessions;
  • remember preferences;
  • measure advertising effectiveness and conversions;
  • support advertising to people who have previously visited the website; and
  • understand whether advertising contributed to a later website visit or action.

You may be able to control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Certain analytics and advertising providers, including iPromote, may also offer their own privacy or advertising opt-out controls.

  • provide information, services, or materials you request;

We may share information with service providers that help us operate, maintain, analyze, communicate through, or promote lanesboro.com. These may include website technology providers, analytics providers, email communication providers such as Constant Contact, and advertising and measurement providers such as Google and iPromote.

We do not sell personal information for money.

Some privacy laws may define certain disclosures used for targeted advertising or advertising measurement as a “sale,” “sharing,” or similar activity even when no money is exchanged.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect our rights or property, investigate misuse of the website, or protect the safety of users or others.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of certain personal information, or to opt out of certain uses of personal information.

Some information may be processed by third-party providers such as Google or iPromote and may be subject to those providers’ own privacy policies and request procedures. If a privacy request involves information processed by iPromote, we may contact iPromote on your behalf or direct you to iPromote’s Privacy Officer at [email protected] for assistance with the request.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to operate our programs and services, to meet recordkeeping needs, or as otherwise required or permitted by law.

Information processed by third-party service providers is subject to their own retention practices. For example, iPromote states that personal information may be retained for as long as necessary to provide and operate its services, monitor those services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
