The purpose of this privacy policy is to set out the principles governing our use of personal information that we may obtain about you. By using this website, or by registering as a user of the services which we provide, you agree to this use. We ask you to read this privacy policy carefully. Any dispute which may arise over privacy will be subject to this policy, the data protection notice (if any) incorporated into this website and the provisions of law.

We may change our privacy policy from time to time. We therefore ask you to check it occasionally to ensure that you are aware of the most recent version which will apply each time you access this website.

1) Aggregate information
As do many other organizations, KNF monitors the use of this website by collecting aggregate information. No personally identifiable data are collected in this process. Typically, we collect information about the number of visitors to the website, to each web page and the originating domain name of the visitor's Internet Service Provider. This information is used to understand the visitor's use of the website and may be shared with other third parties.

2) Personal information
Where you are required to register in order to use this website or to otherwise complete an online application form (e.g. to obtain email updates or register for an event), we will collect personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, email address, address and other information which you voluntarily submit.

How we use your information
We will only use information that we hold about you in accordance with this privacy policy and any data protection notice that we have provided to you.

Opting out of further communications from us
We may, from time to time, contact you by email or post with information about our services that may be of interest to you (e.g. ship news). If you do not wish to receive such information you can easily opt-out of receiving further information from us by sending an email to info@kalmarnyckel.org. You should clearly state your name, username and details (if any) and the name of this website on all communications.

How we protect your information
Your personal data will be stored on a secure server that is password protected and shielded from the outside world by a firewall. There are security policies in place that are intended to ensure, as far as possible, the security and integrity of all our information, including your personal information.

Use of cookies
Cookies are small files that are sent to your web browser and stored on your computer's hard disk. These are sometimes created and transferred to your hard disk upon first registration at a website. They are subsequently used to identify your computer and allow you repeated access to the website without having to log on each time. The cookie is used purely to speed up your access to the website and the information you wish to see. The majority of web browsers accept cookies, but you can usually change the browser settings to prevent the transfer. However, please be aware that, if you do so, some functionality may be lost.

Agents and service providers
At times KNF employs other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. They may need access to your personal information in order to perform their functions; however, they may not use your personal information for any other purposes.

Children
Our website is directed at an adult audience including school personnel. We collect basic information such as name and emergency contact information for adult and children participating in sailing events. This information is required by the U.S. Coast Guard for all underway passengers.

Improper conduct
We may use the information we gather and/or receive about you to investigate and help prevent unlawful activity or activity that threatens our network or otherwise jeopardizes the provision of this website.
