How we collect personal information offline

Personal information will only be collected by lawful and fair means, for one or more specified purposes, which are relevant to Taos.org’s operations. When personal information is collected directly from the individual to whom it relates, the purpose of collection will be identified and it will only be collected with the person’s consent.

Information collected on this site may also be combined and de-identified to provide Taos.org with anonymous demographic and usage information. Taos.org can then use this aggregated information to develop new and/or more appropriate content to our users.

In addition, anonymous navigation information may be used for statistical analysis of the site, for marketing purposes and to tailor the content of the site to the needs of Taos.org users. Statistical information is not disclosed in connection with your personal information.

Cookies

Currently Taos.org does use “cookie” technology. Cookies were originally designed to help a website distinguish a user’s browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. A cookie is a small string of text that a website can send to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your email address.

We use cookies so that we can provide personalized information that we believe will be of value to you based on preferences you have indicated while visiting the site. You will have the opportunity to decide whether or not to accept the cookie. You may opt-out of these features here.

When we disclose personal information

Taos.org works with other companies that help us provide products and services to you and we may provide your personal information to these companies. For example, we give shipping companies this information so they can deliver your guide efficiently. In this case the information they receive is for shipping and delivery purposes only, and we require that the companies we contract with safeguard your personal information in accordance with Taos.org’s policies.

Personal information collected at this site will only be disclosed to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy and with the terms and conditions of any relevant service. You should check the terms and conditions of individual products and services for information about disclosures.
