Privacy Policy


Privacy Statement

Welcome to the South Bay Trap League (“SBTL”) Web site (the “Site”), which is owned and operated by South Bay Trap League.

The SBTL has created this Privacy Policy in order to set forth the principles governing our information-gathering and dissemination practices in connection with the Site, including but not limited to such activities as the offering for sale of services and merchandise, as well as forums, chat rooms, personal profile pages, product reviews, article commentary, blogs, RSS feeds, newsletters and eCommerce, among other offerings (the “Web Site Activities”).

The SBTL has a strong commitment to the privacy of our Site's users. Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through the Site and not to information collected offline or to information you may provide to any third-party sites to which our Site may link, except as expressly provided herein.

Information We Collect

There are two kinds of information that Web sites can obtain about you: “Anonymous Information” and “Personally Identifiable Information.”

“Anonymous Information” consists of non-personally-identifiable data, such as your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address or domain, browser type, or information about your usage that is used for administrative purposes only. For example, an IP address is a unique string of numbers that is assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address.

We may collect our users' IP addresses for such purposes as to help diagnose problems with our servers and to report aggregate information to our advertisers, corporate affiliates and consultants, and to third parties that perform particular services on our behalf. We may also collect IP addresses as a security precaution when customers initiate orders through our Site, because although IP addresses themselves are non-personally identifiable, they are linked to information about you that is personally identifiable.

We may also use the information linked to IP addresses to ban users who violate our Terms of Use.

“Personally Identifiable Information” is any information that personally identifies you, such as your name, street address, email address, telephone number or credit card number. We collect such information when, for example, you enter a contest, subscribe to our email newsletter, participate in other interactive online activities such as forums, or order merchandise through our Site.

When we collect Personally Identifiable Information from you, you will have the opportunity to “opt in” to receive email or digital communications from us and/or our business partners.

If you have submitted your personal information to SBTL, you may correct, amend or delete the Personally Identifiable Information maintained on file about you if it is incorrect.

Users may change or modify their Personally Identifiable Information by using the Contact Us form.

DO NOT INCLUDE ANY CREDIT CARD INFORMATION IN ANY EMAIL COMMUNICATION OR THROUGH THE CONTACT US FORM. IF YOU DO, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT YOUR INFORMATION WILL REMAIN SECURE, AND WE THEREFORE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSSES THAT YOU MAY SUFFER AS A RESULT.

In all cases, we will only use your information as permitted by law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Privacy Policy, however, we may disclose Personally Identifiable Information to others if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to:

  1. Comply with the law or with legal process;
  2. Protect and defend our rights and property;
  3. Protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Site;
  4. Or protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public.

Please note that we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.

Use of “Cookies”

Our Site uses “cookies” - data that is transferred from our Site to your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. These “cookies” are used for administrative purposes only, to enrich the user's experience with the Site.

Disclosure of Information through Business Transfers

We may partner with other companies or businesses, and in so doing, acquire customer information. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. Similarly, in the event that a portion or substantially all of South Bay Trap League's assets are sold or transferred to a third party, customer information (including your email address) would likely be one of the transferred assets.

Third Party Web Sites

The Site contain links to third-party Web sites not owned or controlled by South Bay Trap League.

SBTL is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third-party Web sites. Inclusion of any linked Web site on our Site does not imply or express an approval or endorsement of the linked Web site by us, or of any of the content, opinions, products or services provided on these Web sites.

Even if an affiliation exists between SBTL and a third-party Web site, we exercise no control over linked sites. Each of these linked sites maintains its own independent privacy and data collection policies and procedures.

If you visit a Web site via a link from our Site, we encourage you to consult that Web site's privacy policy before providing any personal information, and whenever interacting with any such Web site.

Public Forums

Our Site may make chat rooms, forums, blogs, article commenting, and personal profile pages available to users. Please remember that any such information that you may choose to provide in these areas becomes accessible to the public, and also becomes the property of South Bay Trap League in accordance with our Terms of Use, and we may use such information in any way that we see fit. Consequently, you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information or to upload material of any kind onto our Site.

Security

Our Site has reasonable security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.

Security of information communicated by or to us over the Internet is of utmost concern to us; however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Please note that your email and communication through the use of our Contact Us form, like most, if not all, non-encrypted Internet communications, may potentially be accessed and viewed by other Internet users, without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to us. For that reason, to protect your privacy, please do not use email or our Contact Us form to communicate information to us that you consider confidential.

While we strive to protect your personal information, South Bay Trap League cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us through this Site. Once we receive your transmission, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our internal systems. Depending on the nature of the inquiry, your communication may be discarded or archived.

Policy Regarding Minors

Children should always ask parents before providing any personal information online. No information should be submitted to or posted on any Site by any minor (a person under 18 years of age) without the consent of a parent or guardian.

Unless otherwise disclosed during collection, we do not knowingly provide any Personally Identifiable Information about minors, regardless of its source, nor is this information knowingly used by South Bay Trap League for any marketing or promotional purposes. Minors are not eligible to participate in contests on this Site.

The SBTL abides by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. In the event that we learn that we have collected information from any child under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete this information from our database as quickly as reasonably possible.If you believe that our Site has collected any information about anyone under 13, please contact South Bay Trap League's Privacy Officer via postal mail or use the Contact Us form.
