Online Privacy Policy
See
also our Store: Tom's TopKayaker Shop Policy
Page
Basically, We do not store nor sell personal information.
TopKayaker.Net
/ Sit-on-topKayaking.com
is an on-line magazine sponsored by GeoOdyssey Publications, privately
owned by Tom Holtey. GeoOdyssey Publications' website practices are committed
to maintaining your confidence and trust, and accordingly maintains the
following privacy policy to protect personal information you provide online.
We have modeled this privacy policy after that established by the Better
Business Bureau.
Release of Information to Third Parties
Personal information will not be released to third parties except by Tom's
TopKayaker Shop for the sole purpose of processing purchase and/or refund
transactions through our gateway, USAepay.
You will read there that, basically, USA ePay uses the information collected
to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, to process
payment transactions, to facilitate billing, and otherwise deliver the
payment gateway services. Personally identifiable consumer information
is used to process payment transactions and for no other purpose.
Our Mailing List: TopKayaker News
Our mailing list is currently serviced personally by us. It is stored
off-line. We will never use, sell, reuse, rent, loan, or otherwise disclose
any e-mail, e-mail addresses, subscriber information, or subscriber personal
information. Any information given to us will be held with the utmost
care, and will not be used in any way that you have not consented to.
E-mail addresses will never be used, sold, loaned, rented, or otherwise
distributed or disclosed to any third party for any reason. Employees
and personnel of TopKayaker.net who have access to a client's personally
identifiable information are required to keep the information strictly
confidential and are not permitted to use this information for any other
purpose than to carry out the services they are performing on behalf of
TopKayaker.Net.
Basic Confidentiality Policy
It is GeoOdyssey Publication's policy that personal information,
such as your name, postal and e-mail address or telephone number, is private
and confidential, unless, as a registered Forum participant or user
of our Classifieds you request it be displayed. Otherwise, the personal
information you provide is stored in a secure location, is accessible
only by designated staff, and is used only for the purposes for which
you provide the information (such as to reply to a question or to notify
you of new articles and features on the site.). For example, when you
email a question about kayaks or gear, the personal information you provide
will be used to respond. If you also indicate by email that you would
like to receive information about upcoming articles or features, your
personal information will be added to our TopKayakerNews list. We send
out notices every one to two months to those email addresses. Instructions
to be removed are included with each mailing. Your request to be removed
is promptly respected.
No Computer Tracking of Identifiable Information
With the exception of the Forum under some participant agreed-to circumstances,
our website is not set up to collect or distribute personal information
about its visitors. It does recognize the home server of visitors, but
not e-mail addresses. For example, we can tell which Internet Service
Provider our visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other information
about our visitors that would allow us to identify the particular visitors
to our sites. Any information obtained by these numeric averages are used
only for internal purposes by GeoOdyssey Publications staff to help them
assess information such as popular articles, "page not found" errors,
and what countries, states and cities are visiting. It also indicates,
in some cases, if you came to us through another website and helps us
appreciate those referring visitors to us. In addition, it tracks information
about the visits to our web sites. For example, we compile statistics
that show the daily number of visitors to our sites, the daily requests
we receive for particular files on our web sites, etc. Again, the statistics
contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.
Disclaimer Note: GeoOdyssey Publications or it's on-line magazine
TopKayaker.Net / Sit-on-topKayaking.com cannot be responsible for any
misuse of your personal information voluntarily displayed on our website.
If you suspect that it is being misused we urge you to notify us immediately.
