DIABLO ROD AND GUN CLUB – PRIVACY POLICY

We comply with California’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (OPPA) and maintain this privacy policy to let you know what information we collect and how that information is used.  In general, we ask for the minimum amount of data necessary. We will not share any information you disclose to us unless you give us permission or it is required by law.

 

Our Privacy Policy in a Nutshell (details below)


Our Privacy Policy has Five Sections:

I.       Major Activities on Our Website

II.     Use and Disclosure

III.   Access, Correction, and Data Quality

IV.    Security

V.     Other

 

I.  Major Activities on Our Website

Information Our Site Gathers
When you visit our website, our site collects information to provide us with aggregate data.  We use an analytics program called Google Analytics.  Google Analytics analyzes the data our site collects and provides us with a report.

The information our site collects includes:
Internet Protocol or IP address (the unique number assigned to the device you are using to connect to the Internet);

  • Your browser, the version and what operating system you use (for example if you are using Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Firefox 8.0 on Windows 7);
  • When you visit on our site and how long you spend on it, and what pages you view;
  • How you arrived on our site (for instance, did you use a search engine or click through a link in an online publication?)

This data is stored in log files that are used by Google Analytics to generate website usage reports that do not contain personally identifiable information.  DRG deletes the log files monthly, and we do not back them up.

What Information We Are Able to See
While our site collects the information listed above, we receive aggregate data from Google Analytics. The data reveals, for instance, how many unique visitors we have in a month, how many individual page views we receive, the top 25 countries from which our site is viewed, the top 10 operating systems and browsers that people use to visit our site, and how people reached our content (through links in other sites, search engines, etc.).   The reports do not include IP addresses and we do not attempt to tie individual IP addresses to this information.

Cookies
We do not use persistent cookies on our website. We do use session cookies.  Session cookies allow us to provide you with a better experience on our site.  They do not capture personally identifiable information, and they do not track your online movements.  Session cookies expire when you close your browser.

When You Join Our Mailing List
We invite you to join our mailing list to receive alerts from us.  To join our mailing list, you must give us an email address, First name and last name. We store our mailing list  in a database hosted by MailChimp, an online service provider we use to send our alerts via email.

You can unsubscribe from the mailing list at any time.  Look for the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the emails sent through mailchimp.

A Note about Third-Parties
Our privacy policy only applies to Diablorodandgun.com and the activities of the Diablo Rod and Gun (DRG).  If you click on a link on our site that takes you to a different organization or company’s website, you need to read that site’s privacy policy. For example, if you interact with DRG on Facebook or Twitter, your information is subject to their respective privacy policies.

II. Use and Disclosure
See Section I above for the major ways we use and share information collected from website visitors, those who email or call us.  We assure you that we will never sell, trade, or otherwise share your information with an advertiser, marketer, credit bureau, or profiler.  Our general policy is that we do not share your personally identifiable information with anyone without your consent.

However, there are some limits on what we can and do promise.  Most of these disclosures are unlikely, but we feel it is necessary to let you know they are possible.

  • We disclose personally identifiable information when required by law.  Just like everyone else, we cannot guarantee that your personally identifiable information will never be sought by subpoena, search warrant, court order, or other lawful form of legal process.If someone demands that we produce your identifiable information, we will try to notify you in advance.  If we do not have current contact information for you, we may not be able to reach you.  It is also possible that we may be prohibited from contacting you.
  • We may disclose personally identifiable information to law enforcement if we have reason to believe that our site has been used in a way that violates the law (e.g. someone uses our website for improper activities or tries to hack our website).
  • We may disclose personally identifiable information to the extent we reasonably believe it necessary:
  • We may disclose personal information to staff and third-parties such as lawyers, consultants, volunteers, and contract workers.  When we disclose personal information to third parties, we do our best to contractually restrict any further use or disclosure of the information that would be inconsistent with this policy.
  • If the Diablo Rod and Gun Club ever changes its structure, merges with another organization, or evolves in other ways, all information may be shared with a successor organization. We will do our best to ensure that the information is handled in accordance with this privacy policy.
      • to protect the security or integrity of our operations;
      • to take precautions against liability;
      • in the event of a security breach, or to take action to prevent, minimize, or remedy any harm from the breach; or
      • to the extent permitted by law, to provide information to a law enforcement agency or for an investigation on a matter related to public safety.

III. Access, Correction, and Data Quality
If we have personally identifiable information about you, we will make that information available to you upon request.  We also welcome updates to your contact information so we can keep in touch with you.  You can ask us to delete any personally identifiable information we have for you, and we will comply unless we are otherwise required to keep it.  Please contact our membership Chairman at Membership (at) diablorodandgun.com if you have such a request.

IV. Security
We maintain appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect all information that we have, including your personally identifiable information.  No one can guarantee absolute security, but we exercise great caution in protecting our information.

V. Other

Children and Foreign Users
We do not anticipate that children under the age of 13 will provide personally identifiable information through our website.  If we learn that we have information about a child under the age of 13 we will delete it.

Individuals in other countries are welcome to use our website.  Any individual outside the United States should understand that any personally identifiable information provided to us through our website is collected, stored, and otherwise processed in the U.S.  Privacy protections for personal data in the U.S. are different from the privacy protections available by law in other countries and are often weaker.  If this is unacceptable, you should not provide any personally identifiable information.

Changes to this Policy
The DRG may make changes to this policy on occasion.  We will announce substantial changes on this page and on our homepage.  If possible, we will post notice of substantial changes before they take effect.

Questions and Concerns
We practice what we preach, and we train our staff so that they understand our privacy policy.  If you have any questions or comments about our privacy policy, please direct your inquiry to our Membership Chairman at Membership (at) Diablorodandgun.com.
