This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, how to correct or change it, and what steps we take to safeguard personal information provided to us both online and offline.

You can visit our website, read articles, and check on offerings without giving us any personally identifiable information. So that we can provide our users with the most efficient and enhanced, personalized service, we request information about you in certain circumstances, and also collect certain information automatically.

Information Users Volunteer

We collect personally identifiable information, such as names, mailing addresses, and/or e-mail addresses, when you request for a charter or when you submit your website to aour link directory. Occasionally, we may also request demographic information, such as age, gender, hobbies or interests. Often this additional information is optional or requested anonymously in connection with a survey. Website visitors may register to receive one of our e-mail newsletter updates, or to enter online contests and sweepstakes, and we may offer offline contests and sweepstakes as well.

Information Collected Automatically

We also may collect your IP address, browser type, domain name, access times and referring website address. This helps facilitate your online experience at our websites. In addition, we use these informations for statisstic reasons in order to track usage patterns at our site and to control the traffic, as well as to offer other functionalities (such as screening for age or others).

Other Information

We conduct market research in an effort to continually improve our services and websites and may purchase lists of potential subscribers or customers from third parties. Those lists may include information on current subscribers or customers. This information is included in our database. That helps us, for example, minimize multiple mailings and e-mailings, and provide information tailored to your interests.

We use information you provide to fulfill your requests and improve our offers, products and services. We may, from time to time, produce reports for advertisers, sponsors and vendors containing anonymous, aggregate information about our users, such as demographic, age and online usage information. This allows us to provide content and offers that are most relevant to our subscribers and users and to work more closely with advertisers. We do not include any personally identifiable information of our users in these reports.

We use personal information so that we may display or send custom, personalized content to our website visitors and to send newsletters, mail, e-mails, features, promotional material, surveys and other updates, information or special offers to our users and subscribers. A user may, at any time, opt out of receiving such information. We also use collected information to evaluate and administer our services, fulfill customer requests, like charter requests and other orders, respond to any problems that may arise, such as mail response failures, difficulties in navigating our sites or accessing certain features, as well as to gauge user trends to determine what services are most popular with users.

We allow users of our website to send articles or links by email to other parties who may be interested in them. We do not retain any email addresses of either the sender or recipient of such articles or links after they are sent, and do not share e-mail addresses with third parties.

Personal information is available to Ocean Charter Club and its technical and fulfillment agents and consultants who make this website, offers and services available to you. Anonymous information is available to our advertisers, sponsors and promotional and business partners. We share your personal information with third parties only as described below.

Ocean Charter Club and Its Agents

Ocean Charter Club may access both anonymous, aggregate demographic data and any personal information you provide for internal marketing purposes, including sending you notices of e-newsletters, new special offers, services or prices we offer likely to be of interest. To facilitate your requests, Ocean Charter Club will cache your request information in order to process it easier as soon as possible. All personnel working for Ocean Charter Club must comply with our information collection, use and disclosure policies, and are not permitted to sell your information to third parties or to use it except as authorized by us and you, or as permitted or required by law.

Advertisers, Sponsors and Promotional and Business Partners

We share anonymous, aggregate demographic information (such as gender, age, hobbies, interests, etc.), and anonymous information obtained several web technologies, with our advertisers, sponsors, promotional and business partners, and with participating vendors at sites offering online sales opportunities. No personally identifiable information is disclosed to any of these third parties in providing these reports. Credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and passwords are not shared with advertisers, sponsors or promotional partners, and are only shared with specific vendors with whom you place an online order.

Offline and online contact information is handled differently. Offline contact information is shared with third parties who may send you offers or information about their products or services. You must opt-out if you do not wish to receive information from us or third parties by mail.

Your e-mail address is not shared with third parties unless you opt-in to receiving information from third parties. In other words, we may extend e-mail offers to users or subscribers on behalf of our business partners about a particular offer or service that may be of interest to you, but only if you have indicated that you would like to receive those offers. If you wish to receive such offers, we do not share or disclose your name or e-mail address to those business partners, but will send you the information or offers on their behalf. As result, although Ocean Charter Club may receive a fee from our business partners for this service, Ocean Charter Club sends all the offers so that your personal information is never shared with any outside third party. Of course, you may opt out of receiving those offers at any time.

Sometimes we will give you the opportunity to opt in to receive e-mail offers from third parties not affiliated with Ocean Charter Club. If you decide to accept these offers, we will provide, with your consent, your contact information to the third party.

You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose information, personal or otherwise, online in any community area (especially through Ocean Charter Club's links to other websites), that information can be collected and used by others. For example, if you use chat, forums, bulletin boards or message boards, or if you post personal information online (such as your e-mail address), you may receive unsolicited messages from others. Ocean Charter Club has no control over this use of your personal information.
