Long Island Guide (“LIG”) offers our visitors a secure and private experience while keeping our site, specifically, “LongIslandGuide.com”, simple and convenient to use. To do this, in some cases we collect, store and/or use “Personal Information”, including your name, email address, physical address, telephone number and/or other information that could potentially identify you specifically, subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Please note this Privacy Policy is applicable only to information collected by LIG through the site LongIslandGuide.com and does not impact information collected or used by LIG or its Affiliates through other means.

How you interact with the website determines if and when certain information is collected. For instance, some sections or areas of the site allow you to submit contact forms, provide feedback, request information, or sign up for newsletters and other services. However, the majority of pages on the site are informational and read-only and do not require you to submit anything. If you choose to participate in certain services by providing your information, the site will collect that information. Other information may be collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies used by your browser or device. Cookies may remember certain preferences, support website functionality, help analyze use of the site, and assist in controlling or personalizing the advertisements you see.

We also collect information for statistical, website-administration, and analytical purposes, including your IP address, approximate geographic location, the type of browser or device used to visit the site, and referral information showing which websites or links brought you to the site. Where available, we may also receive aggregated search-query or advertising-campaign information. We collect and process this information only as permitted by applicable law.

As we adopt additional technologies, we may collect information through cookies and similar technologies. You can configure your browser to refuse or limit cookies; however, doing so may affect the operation of certain website features and limit our ability to remember your preferences or understand how visitors use the site.
