by law, such information collected by the web site shall
be treated as follows:

The disclosure of information shall be limited to the

Information collected about web site visitors
In order to communicate across the Internet, a web
server and a visitor’s web browser exchange certain
information. Typically this information consists of such
things as Internet addresses and domain names, the type
of browser and operating system being used, the date and
time, the number of bytes of information transferred,
the web pages or services accessed, and the web site the
user visited that linked the viewer to our site.
This information we automatically collect is used to
improve the content of our web services and to help us
understand how people are using our services. We analyze
our web site logs to continually improve the value of
the material available on our web site. Our web site
logs are not personally identifiable, and we make no
attempt to link them with the individuals that browse
our site.
Our logs do not record personal information.
However, if we suspect that there may have been
unauthorized attempts to change information or otherwise
cause damage to the information systems that we
maintain, then we reserve the right to use all
information available to us to resolve the issue and
pursue legal remedies if necessary.
SLOBG does not obtain personally identifying
information unless you choose to supply it (for example,
sending an E-mail, ordering merchandise from the gift
shop, becoming a new member or renewing your membership
or applying for participation in the garden festival.)
Personally identifying information may include, but is
not limited to: your name, address, E-mail address,
password, credit card information and telephone number.
Privacy issues relating to the Federal Child Privacy Act
The Federal Child Privacy Act regulates a web site’s
collection of personal information on users under 18
years of age. We do not intentionally collect such
information on anyone we know to be under 18 years of
age. If such information is inadvertently obtained, the
minor’s parent or legal guardian may contact SLOBG for
a description of the specific types of information
collected from the child.
E-mail messages
E-mail messages sent to SLOBG
will be retained in an electronic database and will be treated in the same
manner as personal information.

may then be stored on your computer. SLOBG does not use
cookies on this web site.

SLOBG limits employee access to personally
identifiable information collected from this web site to
only those employees who need access to perform a
specific job. SLOBG has instituted security measures to
protect the information and systems that it maintains.
These measures are designed to ensure that we prevent
corruption of data and provide reasonable protection of
personal information in our possession.
Public disclosure
SLOBG does not disclose any personal information
except when: permission has been granted by the
individual; when the information is considered public
information under law, and when it is not otherwise
protected from disclosure by applicable Federal or State
laws; or, we are required to do so by law, subpoena,
court order or legal process.
