Revised April 2012

BoatTube.com values the users of our website. Your privacy and trust are very important to us and we are committed to safeguarding your privacy online. Please read this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to learn more about the manner in which we collect and use information that is generated when you visit the BoatTube.com web site. The BoatTube.com web site is owned and operated by JBeez, Inc. If you have any questions regarding our privacy statement, please feel free to contact us by e-mail at support@BoatTube.com

What Types of Information Does BoatTube.com Collect From Me?

Personal Information. When an order is placed, we collect basic personal information including your name, shipping address, phone, email address and billing information. We use this information to confirm your order and to respond to any questions you may have. Where required, we also share this information with certain intermediaries (shipping companies and product manufacturers) strictly to process and ship your order

Aggregate Information. We also collect non-personal information from you, such as your browser type, the URL of the previous website you visited, your ISP, operating system, and your Internet protocol (IP) Address ("Non-Personal Information"). Non-Personal Information cannot be easily used to personally identify you. We use this information to measure the number of visitors to our site, address our users' preferences and to attract new users, and, in some instances, to properly credit third-parties who refer users to our site. 

Essentially, you can visit our site without telling us who you are or revealing personal information about yourself. However, you can, if you choose, participate in additional secured applications. For access to these applications, you are required to create an account with us or provide personal information when placing an order. If you place an order and/or create an account with us, we may also, from time to time, send you information about special offers, new products and services, system changes, and other information we think may be of interest. If for any reason you do not wish to receive this information, you may reply to any of our e-mails and type "unsubscribe" in the subject line or send an e-mail to our customer service e-mail to opt out. You may opt out of receiving future e-mails at any time.

Voluntary Submission

BoatTube.com does not collect personally identifying information about any individual BoatTube.com web-site user except when knowingly provided by such individual. For example, we may ask you for information if you register for a contest or survey or to receive a newsletter. If you make a purchase at BoatTube.com, we offer you the opportunity to be included in our e-mail list to receive email updates about special offers, new products and services, and relevant information. You always have the option not to provide the information we request or to opt out afterwards. If you choose not to provide the information we request, you can still visit most of the BoatTube.com web site, but you may be unable to access certain options and services.

Browser Level Information

The BoatTube.com web servers automatically collect information about a site user’s IP address, browser type and referrer by reading this information from the user’s browser (information provided by every user’s browser). This information is collected in a database and used in an aggregated, anonymous manner in our internal analysis of traffic patterns within our web site. This information is automatically logged by most web sites.

 
Use of Information

Our primary goal in collecting user information is to enhance your experience on our web site. We achieve this goal by, among other things, providing interactive communications such as our electronic newsletters to the e-mail address that you provide to us, and developing future editorial content based on your interests. To develop content targeted to your interests, we use aggregated user information to determine which areas of our web site users prefer based upon traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but instead how well each page or content area performs overall.

BoatTube.com may also disclose information about our users when we believe, in good faith, that the disclosure is required by law.            

Please be aware that BoatTube.com sponsors, advertisers or web sites that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of those parties and web sites linked to BoatTube.com are not covered by this privacy statement. BoatTube.com users should also be aware that, when you voluntarily disclose personal information in chat areas or bulletin boards, that information may be collected by others and may result in unsolicited messages from others.

Children’s Privacy

Children under 13: Do not send any information about yourself to us, including information such as your name, address, or e-mail address. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. In the event that we learn we have collected any personal information from a child under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information from our database as quickly as possible.

Thirteen to Seventeen. Prospective users between the ages of 13 and 17 can only use the BoatTube.com Services under their parents or legal guardian's supervision. If you are between the ages of 13 and 17, you, your parent, or your legal guardian may request that we deactivate any of your Personal Information in our database and/or opt-out from receiving communications from us. If you wish to do so, please contact us at privacy@boattube.com.
