Privacy Policy

The Boating & Sailing Directory has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices for this Web site.

Information Automatically Logged
Our computer is not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information about its visitors. It does recognize the home server of visitors, but not e-mail addresses. For example, we can tell which Internet Service Provider our visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other information about our visitors that would allow us to identify the particular visitors to our sites. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site, and these IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

In addition, our web sites track information about the visits to our web sites. For example, we compile statistics that show the daily number of visitors to our sites, the daily requests we receive for particular files on our web sites, and what countries those requests come from. These aggregated statistics are used internally to better provide services to the public and may also be provided to others, but again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.

Advertisers
The Boating & Sailing Directory is NOT a commercial directory. From time to time we may host some commercial advertisements on our site in order to cover our operational costs. These ads may contain cookies, and appear to be coming from our site, but in reality they are coming from our advertisers who are serving ads on our directory.

Personal Information
The only information collected by this web site is from the form that webmasters use to submit their web sites for inclusion in our directory. We do not share any personal information with any third parties nor do we use any personal information for any purposes.

Otherwise, this Web site does not request any personal information or collect any information that personally identifies you or allows you to be personally contacted.
