Bluewater Sailing is committed to providing our visitors and members with content and services characterized by outstanding quality and customer service. Our Online Privacy Policy continues our commitment to serve you and to protect your privacy online. Please feel free to contact us with any specific questions you may have.

BY USING OUR WEBSITE, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY. Accordingly, please review the following carefully so that you understand our privacy practices:

Collection of Personally Identifying Information
Our web site collects no personally identifying information about you or your family (e.g., names, ages, addresses, e-mail addresses, etc.) except when you specifically submit this information.

Minors are also advised to obtain parental permission before filling out any on-line forms.

Use of Information
We do not sell your personally identifiable information to others. With your permission, we may provide you information about products and services from partners we select that we think may be of interest to you.

This Website contains links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other Websites.

By using our web site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by Bluewater Sailing. We assure you that if we make any changes to our privacy policy, we will post all changes – so you will know exactly what information we are collecting, how we’re using it, and any circumstances where we are disclosing it.

Protecting Login
Data Used: In order to check login activity and potentially block fraudulent attempts, the following information is used: attempting user’s IP address, attempting user’s email address/username (i.e. according to the value they were attempting to use during the login process), and all IP-related HTTP headers attached to the attempting user.
Activity Tracked: Failed login attempts (these include IP address and user agent). We also set a cookie (jpp_math_pass) for 1 day to remember if/when a user has successfully completed a math captcha to prove that they’re a real human.
Data Synced: Failed login attempts, which contain the user’s IP address, attempted username or email address, and user agent information.

WordPress.com Stats
Data Used: IP address, WordPress.com user ID (if logged in), WordPress.com username (if logged in), user agent, visiting URL, referring URL, timestamp of event, browser language, country code. Important: The site owner does not have access to any of this information via this feature. For example, a site owner can see that a specific post has 285 views, but he/she cannot see which specific users/accounts viewed that post. Stats logs — containing visitor IP addresses and WordPress.com usernames (if available) — are retained by Automattic for 28 days and are used for the sole purpose of powering this feature.
Activity Tracked: Post and page views, video plays (if videos are hosted by WordPress.com), outbound link clicks, referring URLs and search engine terms, and country. When this module is enabled, Jetpack also tracks performance on each page load that includes the Javascript file used for tracking stats. This is exclusively for aggregate performance tracking across Jetpack sites in order to make sure that our plugin and code is not causing performance issues. This includes the tracking of page load times and resource loading duration (image files, Javascript files, CSS files, etc.). The site owner has the ability to force this feature to honor DNT settings of visitors. By default, DNT is currently not honored.

We encourage you to visit this page periodically for any changes.
