This Privacy Policy explains how Springfield Lodge No. 440, Free & Accepted Masons ("the Lodge," "we," "us") handles information when you visit www.springfield440.org (the "Site"). By using the Site you agree to this policy.
Information You Give Us
When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, optional phone number, the topic you choose, and your message. We use this only to respond to you, for example to answer questions about Freemasonry, membership or visiting the Lodge. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.
Website Statistics
We keep simple, private statistics about how the Site is used, such as which pages are viewed, the type of device and browser, and the website that referred a visit. Our own statistics do not use cookies and do not store IP addresses. Visits are counted with a one-way code that changes every day, so we cannot identify you or follow you from one day to the next.
Advertising and Google AdSense
The Site may display advertising served by Google AdSense to help cover the cost of operating the Site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Cookies
The Site itself uses only cookies that are needed to make forms work securely. Advertising partners may set their own cookies as described above. See our Cookie Policy for details and how to control cookies in your browser.

The Site links to other websites, such as the Grand Lodge of Georgia. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of other sites.
Children's Privacy
