Online merchants and others who participate in Cruisingsailboat.org services are encouraged to participate in industry privacy initiatives and to take a responsible attitude towards consumer privacy.

3. Information We Collect and How We Use It
Cruisingsailboat.org collects certain information from and about its users three ways: directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.
a. Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website, we may track information to administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track include:
- Your Internet protocol address.
- The kind of browser or computer you use.
- Number of links you click within the site.
- State or country from which you accessed the site.
- Date and time of your visit.
- Name of your Internet service provider.
- Web page you linked to our site from.
- Pages you viewed on the site.
b. Use of Cookies
Cruisingsailboat.org may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.
Cruisingsailboat.org reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into Cruisingsailboat.org a site that relies on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our Website.
c. Users Personal Information
Your email address and password is the only personal information we require for registration and these are secured through a variety of methods including encryption and authentication tools. We will never share or sell your email address to any other entity or individual for marketing purposes. Visitors to our website can register to purchase services. When you register, we will request some personal information such as email address. If you are purchasing an online ad from us, we forward you to Paypal for payment and do not receive any of your credit card or other financial information from them. You may also be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:
- To fulfill your service requests for services.
- To protect ourselves from liability,
- To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
4. Use of Web Beacons or GIF files
Cruisingsailboat.org web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow Cruisingsailboat.org to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Cruisingsailboat.org may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. Cruisingsailboat.org prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.
5. Accessing Web Account Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally identifiable information in your web account file is correct and current.
6. Changes to this Statement
Cruisingsailboat.org has the discretion to occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the “updated” date at the top of this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy statement and any updates.
7. Protecting our users from spamming activities
Various text placed in ads and messages written in the 'Contact the Seller' tool will be electronically scanned for inappropriate material. The scan looks only for obscene language and potential links to other sites that may be used for spamming purposes. This procedure is solely for the protection of our users to thwart users that attempt to violate our Terms of Use conditions and otherwise harass our users. We will never scan the messages for marketing purposes.
8. Online privacy regarding Minors
This site is not intended for use for individuals under the age of 18. As we are not able to determine the age of individuals visiting or using our site, it is the responsibility of the parent and child to insure that individuals under the age of 18 are supervised while visiting this site. Entering any information into this site, whether through the register process or contacting other users, should be done under the supervision of an individual over the age of 18.
