Our membership data is maintained in a secure manner, and is not shared, nor sold. All use is internal, only. Sea Tow may, however, share with you products and/our services that may be of interest to you. If you wish to not participate in receiving this information, you will be given the option to “opt out;” in which case we will delete you from such circulations in the future.

Sea Tow may place Internet "cookies" on visitors' hard drives, of necessity in order to provide you complete access to our web site, and for no other purpose. Internet cookies save data about individual visitors, such as the visitor's name, password, user-name, MEMBERSHIP PURCHASE OR RENEWAL, screen preferences, the pages of a site viewed by the visitor, and the advertisements viewed or clicked by the visitor. When the visitor revisits Sea Tow's web site, Sea Tow may recognize the visitor by the Internet cookie and customize the visitor's experience accordingly. Visitors may decline Internet cookies, if any, by using the appropriate feature of their web client software, if available. You must understand that by doing so, you may need to re-enter information in order to have complete access to our site.

When a visitor performs a search within Sea Tow's web site, Sea Tow may record information identifying the visitor or linking the visitor to the search performed. Sea Tow may also record limited information for every search request. Sea Tow uses this information only to solve technical problems with the service and to calculate overall usage statistics, and for no other purpose.

2. Use of Personal Data Collected
Personal data collected by Sea Tow may be used by Sea Tow for editorial and feedback purposes, for marketing and promotional purposes (but only internally and not to any other third party business or entity), for a statistical analysis of users' behaviour, for product development, for content improvement, to inform advertisers as to how many visitors have seen or clicked on their advertisements, or to customize the content and layout of Sea Tow's site. Aggregate data on visitors' home servers may be used for internal purposes or provided to third parties such as advertisers, but only with prior consent. Individually identifying information, such as names, postal and e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and other personal information which visitors voluntarily provide to Sea Tow may be (i) added to Sea Tow's databases and used for future calls and mailings regarding site updates, new products and services, upcoming events, and status of orders placed online, or (ii) provided to reputable third parties who provide products and services which Sea Tow believes that visitors may be interested in purchasing or obtaining, with prior notice to the visitor. Sea Tow’s web site will always provide the ability to update or modify this information. We will also notify you, in advance, if there are any changes to our policy, and request your consent prior to implementation.

3. Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties
Any third party to which Sea Tow shares, rents, sells, or otherwise discloses personal data will be under a contractual obligation to use the personal data for marketing products and services which Sea Tow determines, in its sole judgment, that visitors might find of interest. Sea Tow will use reasonable efforts to identify such third parties who may have products or services of interest to visitors to Sea Tow's site. However, such parties are independent third parties over which, Sea Tow exercises no control, and therefore Sea Tow is not responsible for their conduct, products, or services, and will not be liable therefore. Sea Tow will disclose to third parties only information in aggregate form, that is publicly available, and/or that is knowingly and voluntarily disclosed by visitors. If there are advertisements on Sea Tow's Web site, through the use of third party cookies, the advertiser(s) will be electronically notified when visitors view or click on its advertisements. The foregoing notwithstanding, we will give you the opportunity to “opt out” should you wish this information to not be shared. In the absence of your consent, the information will not be shared with anyone.

4. Security Measures
Sea Tow has implemented numerous security features to prevent the unauthorized release of or access to personal information. In particular, when a visitor places an order on this site (if any) or
accesses his or her account information (if any), Sea Tow offers the visitor the ability to use a secure server. The secure server encrypts all information a visitor inputs before it is sent to Sea Tow, and is also used to securely store personal information. Please be advised, however, that while Sea Tow has endeavoured to create a secure and reliable site for visitors, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from Sea Tow via this site or e-mail cannot be
guaranteed. Accordingly, Sea Tow is not responsible for the security of information transmitted via the Internet. [For more private communication, visitors can contact us by telephone at 1800 732 869. You should realize that with the advent of new technologies, which we may elect to implement, we cannot be responsible for unauthorized “hacking” of our web site. We do, however, take great pains to ensure that we utilize current, state of the art equipment to prevent such hacking, but cannot be responsible for any new forms of hacking that others may employ.

Visitors may opt out of having their personal information collected by Sea Tow, used by Sea Tow for secondary purposes, disclosed to third parties, or used by Sea Tow or third parties to send promotional correspondences to the visitor, by contacting Sea Tow via postal mail, e-mail, or telephone at the addresses above, or by checking the appropriate box.

6. Access to and Ability to Correct Personal Data
Upon request via postal mail, e-mail, or phone, Sea Tow will provide to visitors a summary of any personal information retained by Sea Tow regarding the visitor.

7. Collection of Personal Data from Children
To the extent Sea Tow is able to determine the age of users by their submissions to or communications with Sea Tow's web site, Sea Tow will not knowingly (i) collect or post information from individuals under the age of sixteen ("children") without their parent's or guardian's consent, or (ii) provide any personally identifying information collected from children, regardless of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever. If registration is required for any services on the Sea Tow site, and a user submits information to Sea Tow's Web site as part of the registration process which indicates that such user is a child, the child's parent or guardian will receive an e-mail alerting them to the child's registration and providing instructions on how the parent can delete the child's registration, if so desired. No information collected through Sea Tow's web site from users self-identified, as children will knowingly be used for any marketing or promotional purposes whatsoever, either inside or outside Sea Tow. If there are no age restrictions on a contest, which requires registration, and if a child wins, notification and prizes will be sent to the parent(s) or guardian(s) identified in the initial registration process. Of course, Sea Tow cannot be responsible for any child who may misrepresent their age, or any consequences that may arise there from.
