The Dock Shoppe respects the privacy needs and concerns of our customers. This Privacy Policy is to inform you about what kinds of information we collect about you, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding our use of that information. We will not obtain personally identifying information about you unless you choose to provide such information to us voluntarily, whether at our retail store, on line, through mail order or other promotional activities.
The Dock Shoppe is committed to treating your personal information in a confidential manner. We do not share your information with anyone. We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect.
If you have any questions about our Privacy Policy, please email us at:
dockmaster@thedockshoppe.com
Although this Privacy Policy may seem long, it explains the details of our data collection and use of your information because we believe you should know as much as possible about our practices to make informed decisions. Because our customers are of vital importance to us, we do not participate in bulk email solicitations which you have not consented to receiving (i.e., "spam").
Collection of Your Information
Instances where personally identifiable information may be gathered include registrations, (for example registration on our website) and purchases made on our website, at our store or by mail order. The types of personally identifying information we collect may include contact information (e.g., name, postal address, email address and phone number), credit card and ID verification information (such as credit card number and driver's license number), information about your boat or boating preferences, as well as other relevant information.
When you visit us online, we also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information, such as the type of browser you are using, the domain name of your Internet service provider, which of our pages you access, how long you spend on each page, and aggregate data about the number of visits you make and the products and services in which you are interested. The information we learn from you during your visit helps us to improve our site, respond to your requests and customize your shopping experience with The Dock Shoppe.
Use of Your Information
We know that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. We use the personally identifiable information you provide to respond to any of your questions about our products and services, and for a variety of marketing and promotional purposes. By providing your personally identifiable information to us, you expressly agree to receive this information.
Also, we employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include website hosting and development, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, analyzing data, and providing marketing assistance. They have access to personal information needed only to perform their functions. We require companies with whom we contract for outsourced services to keep data received from us confidential and to use it only for the purposes indicated.
Other Legal Notices
Our Privacy Policy applies only to The Dock Shoppe and not to other companies' or organizations' sites to which we link or to which you otherwise provide your information. Accessing third party websites or sources requires you to leave our website. We do not control those third party websites or any of the content contained therein and you expressly acknowledge and agree that we are in no way responsible or liable for any of those third party websites, including, without limitation, their content, policies, failures, promotions, products, services on or actions of those websites and/or any damages, losses, failures or problems caused by, related to or arising from those websites. The Dock Shoppe encourages you to review all policies, rules, terms and regulations, including the privacy policies, of each website that you visit.
The Dock Shoppe reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time based on your comment, changes in the law and our need to accurately reflect our data collection and disclosure practices. If you are concerned about how your information is used, please check our website periodically to review our current Privacy Policy. Also your continued viewing of or use of our website and your continued transaction of business with The Dock Shoppe following the posting of any changes to this Privacy Policy will signify your assent to any such changes or amendments.
