This Privacy Statement relates solely to the online information collection and use practices of our Web site located at www.coastalboxers.org (this "Web Site"), and not to any subdomains of this Web Site. We recognize that many visitors and users of this Web Site are concerned about the information they provide to us, and how we treat that information. This Privacy Statement, which may be updated from time to time, has been developed to address those concerns.
Your use of this Web Site indicates to
us that you have read and accept our privacy practices, as outlined in this Privacy
Statement. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy
Statement, please contact: info@coastalboxers.org.
WHAT INFORMATION ABOUT YOU DO WE COLLECT? [top]
When you visit our Web Site, you may
provide us with two types of information: (1) personally identifiable
information that you knowingly choose to disclose, which is collected on an
individual basis, and (2) general user information that does not contain
personally identifiable information, which is collected on an aggregate basis
as you browse the Web Site. In some cases, if you choose not to provide us
with requested information, you may not be able to access all of our Web
Site's content or services.
We may ask for certain personal information from
you for the purpose of providing to you content and/or services that you
request. For example, if you indicate an interest in adopting a boxer, you
are asked to fill out the Adoption Application, which we retain on file, so
that we may send you the information that you requested. We also request your
name and e-mail address each time you contact us by clicking on the
"Contact Us" link. We may retain a record of users who have
contacted us in order to respond properly to questions or concerns and for
purposes of future communications.
Non-Personally
Identifiable Information We Collect.
Cookies/ Web server logs: Similar to other
commercial Web sites, our Web Site utilizes standard technology called
"cookies" and Web server logs to collect information about how our
Web Site is used. Cookies are a feature of Web browser software that allows
Web servers to recognize the computer used to access a Web site. Cookies are
small pieces of data that are stored by a user's Web browser on the user's
hard drive. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may
include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web
Site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web Site. This
information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is
associated with you as an individual.
You can, of course, disable cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of our Web Site will not operate correctly if you disable cookies. You should consult with your browser's provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling cookies.
HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT? [top]
We use your personally identifiable information to provide you with the
information or content that you have requested, and, in some cases, to
contact you about our programs, products, features or services. If you no
longer wish to receive press releases or any other type of information from
us, you may send us an email through our "Contact Us" link to
change your preferences.
We use non-identifying information collected on our Web Site in the aggregate to better understand your use of the Web Site and to enhance your enjoyment and experience. For example, we may use the information to improve the design and content of our Web Site or to analyze the programs and services that we offer.
We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Our employees, agents and contractors who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect the information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Statement.
We may provide access to your personally identifiable information when legally required to do so, to cooperate with police investigations or other legal proceedings, to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our Web Site, to limit our legal liability and protect our rights, or to protect the rights and safety of visitors to this Web Site or the public. In those instances, the information is provided only for that limited purpose.
We will not share your personally identifiable information in ways unrelated
to those described above without providing you with an opportunity to opt out
of such use or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
HOW DO YOU ACCESS AND/OR MODIFY YOUR INFORMATION OR
CHOICES? [top]
If you visit our Web Site and volunteer personally identifiable information,
you may modify, update or delete such information at any time by clicking on
the "Contact Us" link email us in order to revise certain data of
your personally identifiable information, and to update your preferences regarding
what information you want to receive from us. You should be aware, however,
that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in
our databases. In addition, please be aware that your ability to opt out from
receiving marketing and promotional materials does not change our right to
contact you regarding your use of our Web Site.
PRIVACY PROTECTIONS FOR CHILDREN USING THE
INTERNET [top]
Protecting children's privacy is important to us. For that reason, we do not
collect or maintain information on our Web Site from those we actually know
are under the age of 13, nor is any part of our Web Site targeted to attract
anyone under 13. We request that all visitors to our Web Site who are under
13 not disclose or provide any personally identifiable information. If we
discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personally identifiable
information, we will delete that child's personally identifiable information from
our records.
DATA SECURITY [top]
We take reasonable steps to maintain the security of the personally
identifiable information that we collect, including limiting the number of
people who have physical access to our database servers, as well as
installing electronic security systems that guard against unauthorized
access. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to
be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot ensure or warrant the security
of any information that you transmit to us, so you do so at your own risk.
