What information is collected from me?

The kinds of information we collect from you will vary, depending on how you use our services. It is possible to browse our sites without submitting any personally identifiable information ("personal information") at all, but if you choose to take advantage of some of our products and services, you may be asked to provide information such as your real name, e-mail address, phone number, address, or-for certain e-commerce transactions-your credit card information.

In addition to the information you choose to submit, our systems are set up to gather certain anonymous data to help us better understand how our sites are being used and how we can improve them. This automatically gathered data includes an IP or "Internet Protocol" address, statistics about how visitors navigate through our sites.

How is my information collected and used?

The use of your information depends on the context in which it is collected. Therefore, pay special attention to the categories below that relate to the features of our sites that you wish to utilize. Also be aware that Yachtgallery.com may, at times, be legally compelled to disclose certain information, by means such as subpoenas or court orders.

  • Registration
    • The information you provide when you become a registered user of our site is used primarily to help us customize your online experience. Your e-mail address serves as a unique identifier in our record system. The data you give us about your personal preferences and demographics may be used to help us offer content, advertisements, products, and services that are most likely to appeal to you.
      Unless you specify that you'd prefer not to hear from us, we might also use the e-mail address you provide at registration to contact you for promotional, administrative, or other reasons. You may have these communications terminated.
  • Solicited Information
    • You may occasionally see contests, surveys, and other features of our Web site that ask you to provide us with information. When you choose to respond to these requests, the information you offer may be used for stated reasons. These include the uses set out in the Registration section, above. They also include providing information to third parties as necessary for prize fulfillment and other aspects of any contest or similar offering.
  • User-Initiated Communication
    • Our Web sites enable you to send e-mail to us or to third parties, and to participate in public bulletin boards and discussion groups. Whenever you choose to initiate these kinds of communication with us, or anyone else, you may expect to be contacted in return. Also remember that our bulletin boards and discussion groups are open to the public-what you post there can be seen by anyone and is not protected by Yachtgallery.com. Please use your own discretion when deciding what to post publicly and whom to contact.
  • Referrals & Automatically Gathered Data
    • If you participate in any referral service we may offer, we will use the information you submit to determine which of our participating professionals may be able to serve your needs. We may then forward your name, contact information, and other responses to our sign-up form to the selected professional(s), who may then contact you using that information. We may also use any information that you provide in accordance with the uses set out in the Registration section, above.
    • The information gathered automatically by our system-such as your computer's IP address, the kind of browser you're using, and a record of your navigation through our site-may be used by Yachtgallery.com so we can understand how to make our sites convenient and useful to our audience.

  • Collected Data
    • We may link information collected from you through various means, including information collected automatically and through the use of registration information, or other personal information you provide to help us offer content, advertisements, products, and services that are most likely to appeal to you. If you have indicated that you want to be contacted by third parties, we may use this information to select which names to provide to a particular third party in order to present you with products and services that are most likely to appeal to you, but we will not disclose this type of information, other than your contact information, to any such third party.

What choices do I have regarding the use of my information?

Reading this Privacy Policy should help you understand how any information you share with us might be used. If you feel concerned about any of these uses, you might elect not to participate in certain services, features, or products that we offer. We will never collect personal information about you without your knowledge, so the decision whether or not to share this information is completely up to you.

How do I "opt-out"?

You also have the ability to terminate e-mail correspondence from us at any time. You will either be given the chance to opt out of direct mailings when you disclose your e-mail address to us, you can simply reply to our e-mail, typing "Unsubscribe" in the subject line or e-mail the appropriate webmaster below with your request, and we will promptly remove your address from that e-mail service: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

How is my information protected?

Whenever personal information about you is stored on our computers, that information is password-protected from unauthorized access or use. In addition, this information is kept only on servers that are located behind a "firewall", which makes their contents inaccessible to outside users.

Since your information is especially sensitive, we take special care to keep it secure. We will only transmit or ask for information over secure Internet connections, using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption-the currently accepted standard for online security-and security keys. Finally, credit card number, and financial information are never stored on our servers. While this means you may have to enter this information more than once, we believe the added security is worth the extra effort.

Of course, we appreciate your help in safeguarding the integrity of your own and others' privacy. We hope you'll use common sense whenever you disclose personal information over the Internet. Just as importantly, we encourage you to let us know immediately if you suspect that the information you share with us is being used in any way contrary to this Privacy Policy.
