What Information We Collect
Our system routinely collects information about origin and
site navigation of website visitors. This site may use 'cookies'
to collect information. A "cookie" is a text file placed
on the browser of a website visitor to identify website use patterns.
This information is used only to help us continually modify the
site based on use patterns and is not linked to any personal
identifying information. We do not collect any identifying or
personal data on site users unless that information is submitted
as part of a request for service or information, such as requesting
a vessel safety check.
Who Is Collecting It
The only people using aggregate website access information
are Auxiliary staff, in particular, our web team. If a visitor
submits additional identifying information (as noted above),
that information is available only to the Auxiliary staff who
will be involved in implementing the requested activity.
How We Use It
Information about website use patterns will be utilized by
the web team and other appropriate Auxiliary staff to modify
and enhance the website. Identifying individual information (such
as name, e-mail, and address) will be used only as requested
by the visitor.
Who Shares It
Our flotilla does not sell, share or release any information
about website users to any third parties, unless requested to
do so by that user. Personal information about individual website
users, as submitted as part of a service or information request,
will not be shared for other than the stated purpose in any way
without specific consent from the user. However, we may disclose
information when legally compelled to do so.
Consumer Choices
Personal information about website users is collected only
as part of a request for service. If information is required
in order to provide a service, the website user will be informed
as to which information in optional and which is essential for
receipt of the service. Users have the option of asking that
personal information be removed from our site once the service
has been completed. Users also have the choice of ending any
subscription or request for information by submitting a cancellation
request by contacting us.
If users do not wish to have any "cookies" attached
to their browser, they may disable cookies through their browser
or Internet service company.
Email Security
Email links are provided as a means to contact Auxiliary members
for additional information or to make comments. The sender's
return email address will be used to respond to comments and
questions and may be made available to other members of the Auxiliary
for the same purpose. Because normal e-mail is not encrypted,
the possibility exists that unauthorized individuals may intercept
e-mail messages with our flotilla. Our flotilla is not responsible
for privacy of e-mail messages except those stored in our system.
