Downtown Racine BID
How the Downtown Racine Business Improvement District collects, uses, and protects your personal information.
Last updated: August 31, 2026. Your privacy matters — please review the consent to marketing communications in Section 3.
1. Information We Collect
The Downtown Racine Business Improvement District ("BID") may collect personal information you voluntarily provide — including your name, business name, email address, phone number, and any message content — through contact forms, RSVP forms, event registrations, and directory submissions. We may also collect non-personal analytics data about site usage.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to respond to inquiries, process RSVPs and event registrations, maintain directory listings, improve our programs, and — with your consent — send marketing and community communications.
3. Consent to Marketing Communications
By submitting your personal information through any form on this website, you expressly give the Downtown Racine BID permission to communicate with you and to send marketing communications via email, text message (SMS), artificial intelligence (AI) channels, social media, and other marketing avenues. This consent applies to all information you provide, including contact and RSVP forms. You may withdraw consent and opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email, replying STOP to any text message, or contacting us directly at hello@racinedowntownbid.org.
4. Sharing of Information
The BID does not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate the site and deliver communications, and where required by law. Directory listing information is published publicly as part of the downtown business directory.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described here, comply with legal obligations, and support our community programs.
6. Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and you may opt out of marketing communications at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@racinedowntownbid.org.
7. Cookies & Analytics
This site may use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and basic functionality. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
8. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party tools for forms, email, analytics, and maps. These services have their own privacy practices, and the BID is not responsible for their handling of your data beyond our agreements with them.
9. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Changes to This Policy
The BID may update this Privacy Policy at any time. We will post changes on this page with a revised effective date.
