GENERAL
INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SITE AND THE INTERNET
Our Site uses Web technologies to gather navigational
information about our Site and its technical efficiencies
and services, such as time to connect to our Site
and download pages. This information allows us to
see which areas of our Site are most visited and helps
improve our understanding of our customers' Site experiences.
This practice also helps us improve the quality of
online shopping experiences by recognizing and delivering
more of the features, services and products our visitors
prefer. In the process of gathering navigational information,
non-personally identifiable information may be collected,
such as domain type, Web browser version, service
provider, and IP address, which will provide information
about a visitor's use of our Site, like the time of
a visitor's last visit to a Site page.
Our
Site uses "cookie" technology.
A "cookie" is a small data file that a Website
may send to your Web browser and store on your hard
drive. Our Site uses cookies to simulate a continuous
connection-cookies let us "remember" information
about your preferences and session and allow you to
move within areas of our Site without reintroducing
yourself. No personally identifiable information is
stored in these cookies.
You
may choose to set your Web browser to not accept cookies.
If your cookies are disabled, you can still view our
site.
Our
Site server may automatically collect the address
of the Website that you came from before visiting
our Site, which Web browser you used to view our Site,
and any search terms you have entered on our Site.
Our Site may also use other technologies to track
pages of our Site viewed by visitors, commonly referred
to as "tracer tags". This non-identifiable
"click-stream" data helps us understand
how visitors use our Site. "Click-stream"
is the sequence of clicks or pages requested as a
visitor explores a Website.
As a convenience to you, Beyond The Reef.org provides
links from its Site to third-party Websites. Inclusion
of these links does not imply Beyond The Reef.org's
endorsement of other companies, their Websites, or
their products and services. This Policy does not
apply to other Websites that may be accessible through
our Site, including third-party sites that display
the Beyond The Reef.org trademarks or otherwise promote
Beyond The Reef.org's products and services. We encourage
you to read the privacy policies of those other sites
and third parties to learn how they collect and use
information about you.

The safety of children is very important to us. Consequently,
Beyond The Reef.org does not knowingly or intentionally
collect information from persons under 13 years of
age without parental consent. If you are under 13
and wish to provide personal information, ask a parent
or guardian for assistance. Beyond The Reef.org cannot
prohibit minors from visiting our Site and must rely
on parents and guardians to decide which materials
are appropriate for children under 13.

CHANGES/UPDATES

new technologies and improve the services we provide,
this Policy is subject to change. If there are significant
changes or additions to this Policy, we will identify
those changes below and/or in other communicative
formats to keep you informed of any new information
and procedures that may change the way we collect,
use, or handle your personal information. If we change
