Information Collection and Use

Below are more details about the information the Portland Tub and Tan Sites gather from you and how we use it.

A. Membership Information. When you register for membership of our site, we ask for information about you and your interests. At a minimum, we require your name, date of birth and email address.

B. Email Updates to Members. The Portland Tub and Tan Site and our partners may periodically send service email updates announcing special offers and/or new features to guild members. If you want to update your email address or stop receiving our guild announcements, please email info@tubandtan.com.

C. Surveys and User Research. Portland Tub and Tan conducts email and web-delivered surveys from time to time, as well as instant polls, to gather information about our audience. It is important to remember that taking these surveys and polls is entirely optional. You have no obligation to respond to them. We share only the aggregate results of these surveys, not individual data, with our partners to help them better understand our services. We also store some of the information that our users provide in these surveys to help us understand your interests and to make the site more useful for you.

D. Use of Cookies. On the Internet, a "cookie" is a piece of information (a file) that a Web site transfers to a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. The use of cookies is common on the Internet. Cookies enable us to measure aggregate, or total usage and traffic to our site and to specific offerings. This aids us in producing content that best meets our users’ preferences. In order to implement new services, we may use other types of cookies as well. We also may use cookies to understand better what parts of our site you like best. We may use that information to display advertisements that we think will be of particular interest to you. You may configure your browser to reject cookies, but this may interfere with some functionality of the Portland Tub and Tan Site. To find out more about changing your browser to reject cookies, we suggest the EPIC Cookies Page [http://www.epic.org/privacy/internet/cookies].

E. Other Third Parties. Portland Tub and Tan may share non-personal, aggregate, or summary, information regarding our users with other third parties not mentioned in this policy. This kind of information does not identify you individually.

F. Legal Authorities. The Portland Tub and Tan Sites may also disclose Personally Identifiable Information in cases when we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify someone or may be causing injury to Portland Tub and Tan’s rights or property, other users, or anyone else. The Portland Tub and Tan Site may disclose Personally Identifiable Information of our users to government authorities at our discretion.

Access to Other Sites Through Portland Tub and Tan

Linking to Other Sites. You may also visit independent web sites, not operated by Portland Tub and Tan, that are connected to our network for our users. Such sites are operated by external, third-party service providers. Some of these sites will have their own separate membership processes and privacy policies. The Portland Tub and Tan Sites do not control sites that are operated by others and so cannot be responsible for the information practices of these sites. Other sites may set their own cookies, collect data or solicit personal information. It is always a good idea to check the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use of any site before offering any of your personal information.

We take the protection of user data very seriously and to that end provide extra assurances that your information will not be intercepted. In the case of shopping pages, for example, the credit card information you submit is protected by secure servers.
