Chamber of Commerce Website Privacy Policy

The Swain County Chamber of Commerce is committed to protecting your privacy on this website.

When you authorize us to (a) mail you a Bryson City Visitor Guide and/or (b) add your email address to our eNewsletter mailing list, the personal information you provide will not be shared with any other party unless you also request additional information from local Chamber of Commerce member businesses. Please understand that our privacy assurances do not extend to those individual businesses. We never sell our visitor lists to third parties.

Data Storage and Processing — Our eNewsletter mailing list is housed and processed by CreateSend, a GDPR-compliant email marketing company located in Dublin, Ireland. The service is provided through Sitedart, our Website hosting company located in Franklin, NC.

If you sign up for our periodic eNewsletters, your email address is retained and periodic eNewsletters are sent until the email address proves to be undeliverable due to successive bounces, OR until you unsubscribe using the link at the bottom of each eNewsletter.   

With the exception of the opt-in eNewsletter mailing list, all your personal information is permanently deleted once the Visitor Guide is mailed and any other information requests are fulfilled.

When you contact us via email, we will only use the information to respond to your request. We may occasionally redirect your message to another agency or person who is in a better position to answer your question.

GreatSmokies.com contains links to other sites such as our Chamber member provided listings. We also link to other sites and we attempt to only link to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy. Links to third-party websites are provided as a convenience for our site visitors and do not constitute endorsement or control of their content.

We are committed to making your online experience with our website informative and relevant. To achieve this, we collect certain information (using ‘cookies’) when you visit this Web Site, such as your IP address, the type of internet browser you are using, operating system, referring URLs, information on actions taken on the Web Site, how many users visited our Web Site and dates and times of Web Site visits. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your email address or other personal information.
