1. About this website
College Park Main Street Association, Inc. (“CPMSA,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) supports businesses, community activities, and downtown revitalization in College Park, Georgia. This Privacy Policy explains how information submitted through our website and programs may be collected, used, shared, and safeguarded.
CPMSA may collaborate with the City of College Park and other organizations. This website is not the City’s official application portal for permits, licensing, grants, or municipal services. Those services are administered by the responsible government offices.
2. Information we receive
When you contact CPMSA, apply for membership, express interest in volunteering or sponsorship, suggest an event, or submit business information, we may receive your name, email address, telephone number, business or organization name, public business address, interests, event details, and the information you choose to provide.
Our website hosting, form, security, and embedded services may also process technical information such as IP addresses, device and browser information, cookies, and site activity. Please do not send passwords, Social Security numbers, payment-card details, or unrelated sensitive information through general website forms.
3. How we use information
We use information to respond to inquiries, review applications and event submissions, communicate about requested programs, maintain community and business listings, and operate the website. An inquiry or application does not, by itself, create membership, a confirmed reservation, a sponsorship, an approved event, or a payment.
If you choose to receive promotional updates, those communications are separate from your inquiry. A general application is not automatically a subscription to marketing.
4. Business listings, ownership, and permitted use
CPMSA respects the privacy and intellectual-property rights of businesses, members, organizations, and individuals featured on the website. Business owners and other rightful owners retain their rights to original descriptions, logos, photographs, trademarks, and other protected materials they provide. Providing material for an approved listing or community program permits CPMSA to display and use that material for the requested purpose; it does not transfer ownership to CPMSA.
Protected material appearing on this website is not automatically free for unrestricted copying, redistribution, or commercial reuse. Anyone seeking to reuse another owner’s protected material should obtain permission from the rights holder. Public facts, such as a business address or hours of operation, are not necessarily proprietary.
Our community business directory and CPMSA member directory serve different purposes. Appearing in a general business directory does not establish CPMSA membership, City approval, or endorsement. A business owner or authorized representative may request review or correction of listing information. We may verify a request before changing a listing.
5. Members, volunteers, and donations
We treat information submitted in private inquiries or applications separately from information intended for public directories. A person’s application, donation, or volunteer inquiry does not automatically authorize public recognition.
Online donations take place through Give Lively and its payment services. CPMSA may receive donor contact details and contribution information, while donation payment information is handled according to the applicable provider’s practices. General CPMSA inquiry forms do not process payment cards.
6. Website services and other websites
CPMSA’s website uses WordPress, Hostinger hosting, WPForms, Gmail email delivery, MotoPress Calendar, and a Locable-powered member directory. These services may process information needed to provide their features. The website also links to independent business, City, map, social-media, and donation websites. Those websites and embedded services may have their own privacy notices and practices.
7. Sharing and protection of information
We may share information with service providers that help operate our website or communications, with program partners as appropriate to the purpose of a request, or when required by applicable law. Sharing with the City or another partner depends on the relevant program and applicable requirements.
We take reasonable steps to safeguard information under our control and limit unnecessary access. No website, email service, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
8. Retention and privacy requests
Information may be kept for the time reasonably needed to respond to requests, operate programs, maintain records, and meet applicable legal or security obligations. Retention can vary across our website, email, and outside providers. We do not promise a fixed deletion period in this policy.
You may contact CPMSA to request review, correction, or deletion of information you submitted or to ask about a business listing. We may need to confirm your identity or authority and may retain information where required or otherwise permitted by law. Removing information from our site may not remove copies controlled by independent services or search engines.
9. Children and updates
This is a general community website, not an online service directed to children under 13. Parents or guardians who believe a child’s information was submitted through the website may contact us.
We may update this policy as website features, services, or practices change. The effective date shown above identifies the current published version.
For information about website visitor responsibilities, membership applications and other programs, read the CPMSA Terms and Conditions.
