PRIVACY STATEMENT |

Please take a few moments
to read our Privacy Statement. We reserve the right to
change this statement at any time. The date at the top of this statement reflects
the effective date of the latest change.
BoatSetup.com respects your PRIVACY.
We have created this Privacy Statement to explain how
and why we collect certain information online, and how we use that information.
This statement also explains how you can prevent collection of certain information
about yourself, if you choose.
BoatSetup.com will not collect or maintain your private
and personally identifiable information without your consent. If you consent
to give us your personal information, we will not disclose your personal information
to any third party without your consent, unless we are compelled to do so under
the law or to comply with a court order.
You are free to browse the BoatSetup.com
site without submitting any personal information. We do not collect any of your
personal information unless you register on our Bulletin Boards.
IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE you are not allowed to participate in
the BoatSetup.com forums, or to provide any personal information
on our site.
Our Bulletin Boards are resident on OUR
server and maintained by BoatSetup.com, not provided by
a third party "free service". As such, your personal information remains
in OUR domain.
In order to register, you must provide us with a username
(which does not have to be your real name) and a valid e-mail address. Your
password will be e-mailed to you. Once registration is verified, you may change
your password. This allows us to protect our boards from abusive postings and
provides a verifiable point of contact should legal questions arise. At any
time, you have the ability to keep your e-mail address hidden from other users
by selecting that option within your user profile. When you register, you have
the option of providing some additional information such as occupation, interests,
and homepage URL. This optional information is made available to other bulletin
board users. If you have any concerns about providing this information, simply
leave the fields blank and your registration will still be processed.
It is important for you to remain aware that when
you provide personal information (e.g., last name, address, phone number) in
a posting on any message board, that information is available to any other person
or user having access and use of that message board, and may be used by someone
in a manner unintended by you. For that reason, we discourage you from offering
any personally identifying information within a posting to any message board.
Any personal information you provide
to us in the course of asking questions about BoatSetup.com
will be used only for the purposes for which it was submitted. We may store
the information, but we will not use it for any other purposes or disclose it
to any third parties.
BoatSetup.com uses the personal information it collects
from forms you fill out on our site to:
1. Allow users to access our services
2. Supply users with instructions, access or use information,
and technical support information
3. Improve our services by using statistical analysis
and evaluation of user data. We use the anonymous information we collect from
the other methods, such as cookie information, to collect broad demographic
information about user trends, count the number of users of our services, to
provide advertising services and to continue to enhance and improve our services.
We do not and will not disclose your private, personally identifiable information
to any third party for any purpose without your prior consent. However, BoatSetup.com
reserves the right to disclose your personal information if required to do so
by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary
to comply with legal process, respond to claims, or to protect the rights, property
or safety of our company, its employees, customers, or the public. All reasonable
care is taken by our staff in handling your personal information to ensure its
security both offline and online.
