Privacy Policy

This website is operated by the Mecklenburg County Council, for the purpose of providing a means of communicating a variety of information to our members and prospective members.

The Mecklenburg County Council is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. This site collects anonymous data that is not indicative of and cannot be traced to an individual without the cooperation of their Internet Service Provider. This data includes information about the user's remote IP address, referral data (which page "linked" to the present request), and the browser software's user-agent string. This information is accepted passively from the HTTP headers that are sent from the user when requesting any file from the server.

The anonymous information collected is used to monitor the usage of this website and the interests of those who use it. Data such as the volume of traffic to the server, the number of visitors a certain section of the site receives each month, or the most popular search terms are analyzed to derive general statistics about the site's reach and the audience's usage patterns.

No attempt is made to covertly or "quietly" collect personally identifiable information, nor are cookies or any other tracking technology used.  Providing personal information is never a prerequisite for accessing any of the content or resources on this website.

Reports, statistics, and other analyses of aggregate anonymous information may be shared within the organization at the sole discretion of the Mecklenburg County Council.

If you choose to identify yourself by sending us an email:

Email is not necessarily secure against interception. So, if your communication includes sensitive information, contact us by postal mail or telephone rather than email.  If you request information about an activity described on our website, your request, along with any contact information you provide, may be shared with the organizer(s) and/or sponsor(s) of that activity.

Notice to parents:

We do not provide any areas for registration, online chat, message boards, or the collection of demographic information.

The Mecklenburg County Council does not use its website to collect any personally identifiable information from children. 

We want to help you guard your children's privacy. We encourage you to talk to your children about safe and responsible use of their personal information while using the Internet. You can find information regarding privacy and youth protection on the Federal Trade Commission website.
