The Metropolitan Development Association of Syracuse and Central New York is committed to protecting our visitors' privacy. This statement describes our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website.

Our site does not use cookies to track you from visit to visit. In the future this may change as we add additional features, but we will only ever use this tracking data for internal analysis.

Our submission form collects visitor email addresses only for the purpose of maintaining entries in our database. These email addresses are never shared with another party and will only be used to send a mass mailing in the rare event that we have a significant system change that requires communication with anyone who has sent us entries.

We use our server logged visitor IP address and web browser type data to help diagnose problems with our server, design new features, and to analyze our traffic for internal use only. Your IP address may be used to reveal your Internet Service Provider, country, and if you are connecting from a corporate network, your company name. We also record the time of day of connections to estimate home vs. business use of our website. We do not request any information from your browser or computer such as email address or user name. We will never share this traffic information with any outside party.

If you email us with a question, we will only use this information to assist in serving you and will not share this with any outside party.
