Privacy Policy
Last Updated / Effective Date: September 27th, 2018

US Patriot Sailing, Inc. (US Patriot Sailing) places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This privacy policy was created in order to demonstrate US Patriot Sailings’ firm commitment to the privacy of our members and website users. This policy explains what types of information is collected by the US Patriot Sailings’ website, www.uspatriotsailing.org [1], and how this information is used.

What Personally Identifiable Information is Collected
US Patriot Sailing members and donors that register at www.uspatriotsailing.org [1] and individuals that sign up to receive US Patriot Sailing e-communications voluntarily provide us with demographic and contact information. If you donate via the Website, we will also ask you to provide your mailing address for tax-deductible receipt purposes.  We may use this information for specific, limited purposes to administer our Program. You may always "opt out," either now or at any time in the future, if you do not wish to participate in our Program or receive our messages.

IP addresses
US Patriot Sailing uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer www.uspatriotsailing.org [1], and for statistical metrics used to track website visitor traffic.

Cookies
www.uspatriotsailing.org [1] uses "cookie" messages to automatically help provide better services. They remind us who you are and your preferences for our website based on what you've done and told us before. The "cookie" is placed in your computer and is read when you come back to our website. Cookies let us take you to the information and features you're particularly interested in. They also let us track your usage of www.uspatriotsailing.org [1], so we know which parts of our sites are most popular. You can reject cookies or cancel them by instructing your Web browser accordingly.

How Your Information May Be Used
We use your personal information to provide you with personalized service; to send e-mail alerts to you; to answer your requests; to process your membership application; to administer our Program etc. You may choose to opt out at any time, which will cease all communications from us. We may also use your information to track visitor of our website. This lets us see which of our features are the most popular so we can better serve our users' needs. It also lets us provide aggregate data about our traffic (not identifying you personally, but showing how many visitors used which features, for example) to outside parties

Email Privacy
US Patriot Sailing does not provide, sell, or rent email addresses to anyone outside the organization.  We will not share your demographic, contact, or donor information with third parties except when required by law.

Privacy Protection for Children
This Website is not directed to children under the age of thirteen. In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from persons under the age of 13 through the Website or otherwise. If we later learn that any user is under the age of 13, or that we have inadvertently received personally identifiable information from a user under the age of 13 through the Website, we will take appropriate steps to remove that user’s information from the database and restrict that user’s access to the Website.

Because we do not collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 via the Website, we also do not knowingly distribute such information to third parties, and we do not condition the participation of a child under 13 in the Site's online activities on providing personally identifiable information.

These links do not fall under the www.uspatriotsailing.org [1] domain, and US Patriot Sailing is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of external websites. Your use of any linked website is solely at your own risk.

Legal Requirements

Modifications
We may amend this privacy policy from time to time; please review it periodically. We maintain the option to modify this privacy at any time by electronic notice posted on our website.
