SunSwept Sailing has created this privacy statement to show we are committed to your privacy and to disclose how it gathers and disseminates information relative to this website. We recognize and respect your need for privacy and security as you visit our site. We at SunSwept Sailing (referred to in the Privacy Statement as “we”) recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of all information provided by you, whether as a subscriber of our website, registrant for our programs, potential client of our services, recipient of email updates, or user or viewer of our website. It describes the types of information that we gather about you, how we may use that information, whether we disclose the information to anyone, including under what circumstances that might occur, and the rights and choices you have with respect to your personal information, including your rights to direct what we may or may not do with the information. We created this policy with a fundamental respect for the privacy of visitors, members, and users of our website and to guide our relationships with you.

Collection of Your Personal Information

Under the law, the term “personal information” is quite broad and includes “information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.” Also, the definition of the term “consumer” covers most every person.

When you use or view our website, you may be asked to provide your personal information, depending on what part of the website you visit and the level of engagement or inquiry that involves you. We may collect your name, email address, mailing and/or physical address, telephone number, company name, and other financial or other information that you give us relative to services and/or products available through our website. While you have complete control over the amount and nature of the information you disclose, your ability to use all of the elements of the website may be limited based upon the amount and type of personal information you provide.

As is true of most websites, we automatically gather information about your computer such as your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and operating system. We may use cookies to keep track of your preferences. Cookies are also used to collect general usage and volume statistical information that does not include personal information. We use this information to improve our website and marketing efforts and conduct research and analysis.

Even after you disclose your personal information voluntarily or electronically, you have the right to require that we delete some or all of your personal information. Upon your request, we will follow your clear instructions that are communicated to us in writing, via e-mail addressed to hello@sunsweptsailing.com.

Use and Sharing of Your Personal Information

The purpose of our website is to provide information to you about the services we provide. The purpose of collecting your personal information in the first place is so that we can provide the service our website is designed to provide.

Once you have entered the information requested to compete an online form, we will not participate in any other communication with or about you without your advance knowledge and consent.

We do not sell or otherwise disclose information outside of SunSwept Sailing. We will not send you any unsolicited email offers (i.e. spam or special offers) without your permission.

The Help feature on most browsers and devices will tell you how to prevent your browser or device from accepting new cookies or other identifiers, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to block cookies altogether.
