Your privacy is of extreme importance to us!
Home Anchor and Following Seas have created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to the privacy of our visitors. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully so that you can make an informed decision when it comes to choosing whether to share any of your personal information with us.
We have made every reasonable effort to explain the terms of our Privacy Policy in easy-to-understand language. If you have any questions, please use the contact information provided below.
We are not responsible for republished content from this blog on other blogs or websites without our prior permission.
If you disagree with any aspect of this Privacy Policy, please discontinue use of this Website.
Scope: What is Covered by Our Privacy Policy
Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
We make every attempt to keep your Personal Information secure, but we realize that no transmission over the internet is 100% secure. I strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, but I cannot guarantee absolute security. By using this Website, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.
This Privacy Policy applies only to your use of HomeAnchorandFollowingSeas.com and does not extend to any websites that link to our site, whether we provide those links or they are shared by others. We have no control over how your data is collected, stored or used by other websites and we strongly advise that you check the privacy statements of 3rd party websites before providing any data to them.
Personally Identifiable Information
For purposes of the Privacy Policy, “Personal Identifiable Information” means any information that could identify you as an individual through information that is unique to you. This type of information is often referred to as a “unique identifier,” which is often a numeric or alphanumeric string of characters that can be used to uniquely identify an individual. Obvious unique identifiers are a name, address, and phone number. Other unique identifiers include your email address, a website URL, billing information, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, or any other data that could reasonably be linked to your identity.
Unique identifiers can be used for various purposes, including remembering your browsing preferences, your purchase history, directing advertising specifically to you, collecting information about your browsing history, determining whether emails sent to you by us were received and/or opened, or process a transaction (free or paid) with you.
We also use the information we collect from your use of our existing programs and services to help us develop new ones, and at times send you personalized ads based on your particular interests. However, we do not use sensitive information such as race, sexual orientation, religion, or health to determine which ads we send you.
Unique identifiers are sometimes stored in “cookies” (see below) to help websites display certain content in your browser and to remember, for example, your preferred language.
We may also collect information from the content you provide to us through our products and/or services. Be advised that this content may also include personal information that would also be protected by our Privacy Policy.
This website will not collect any personally identifiable information about you unless you elect to provide that information to us.
Data We Collect
Some data will be collected automatically by our Website, (please see the section related to our use of cookies below, for further details). Other data will only be collected if you voluntarily submit it and consent to our ability to use it for the purposes intended, for example, to send you the information you requested. We may also collect some or all of the following data:
- your first and last name;
- your email address
- your phone number;
- your shipping and/or billing address;
- financial information such as credit/debit card numbers;
- IP address (automatically collected);
- web browser type and version (automatically collected);
- operating system (automatically collected);
- a list of URLs starting with a referring site, your activity on our Site, and the site you exit to (automatically collected);
While personal information (name, address, phone number) may be collected only with your explicit authorization, be aware that if you choose not to provide this information you will not be able to receive information or products offered by us, whether free or paid. If you do provide this information, it may be shared with payment processors (example: PAYPAL) and credit card companies in order to process payment transactions and delivery of my products to you.
