This Privacy Policy last updated 1/31/2010.
The only personal information that we collect is that which you choose to provide. This information is used to refine and improve The Sea World Information Guide. Your name may be attributed to quoted comments used on the site, but never without your permission.
When you visit this site, your IP address, domain name (for example, earthlink.net or aol.com) and the site from which you were referred to The SWIG (such as the search engines at yahoo.com or google.com) are automatically recognized and collected by the site host's statistics log program. This information does not include any personally identifying data. This information is used for the following purposes:
This information is not used for any purpose such as marketing or other annoying, harrassing, or malicious purposes.
Some information such as your state of residence (if you voluntarily provide it) may be used for statistical purposes. Statistical information is maintained for a period of two years, then deleted. Statistical information will never include personally identifying information such as your name or address.
Absolutely not. The Sea World Information Guide does not obtain any personal information other than that which you choose to provide. We will not sell, rent, trade or otherwise disclose this information to any other party. We are committed to maintaining your privacy. As this site is independently owned and operated and has no affiliation with any corporate entity, including advertisers, there is nobody else to whom we would be providing your information.
Statistical information may be shared with other parties with whom The Sea World Information Guide has a cooperative interest. This data will NEVER include personal information.
Any personal information that you provide is maintained on a computer separate from that which hosts this site. If it is not used in the content of the site, it is deleted within 90 days. Your personal information will never be disclosed to anyone other than those maintaining the site and/or the information database.
"Cookies" are bits of data that are stored on your computer when you visit some web sites. They are typically used to track your computer's identity so that you do not have to keep entering your user name or password when you switch pages at or return to sites that require logins. The Sea World Information Guide does not use cookies, invisible pixels, or any other form of identification tracking.
The Sea World Information Guide is here for your information and enjoyment. Its operation is privately funded and it does not depend on advertising revenues of any kind. We do not use pop-ups or any related technologies to force unwanted content upon you. Clicking on some links, such as for pictures, may open that content in a new browser window. Any sites that are external to theswig.com will ALWAYS open in a new browser window (this is good netiquette). Their sites may be advertising supported, and you may see popups related to those visits, but you will never see one from visiting this site.
By using The Sea World Information Guide, you consent to the collection and use of the information you provide according to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If we make changes to our privacy policy, those changes are posted on this page before they are implemented so that you are always aware of the information we collect, how we use it, and under which circumstances we disclose it.
If you are 14 or younger, you will need your parent or guardian's permission to give us information about you. Please ask them to read this Policy with you.
Parents or Guardians, Please Note:
We may ask your child for their first name and age. Our purpose in gathering this information is solely for attributing comments, suggestions or other information used in connection with the content of The Sea World Information Guide. An example use of this information would be:
"Shipwreck Rapids was awesome! I got totally soaked!" - Billy, 7
Your or your child's computer IP address address and/or your domain name may be automatically recognized when you visit this site. We will not ask you or your child for your child's middle or last name, street address, city, state, zip code, phone number, or any other identifying information. It will be made clear at all places on this site where personally identifying information is being collected that children will need your consent before providing such information.
If you would like to obtain a copy of the personal information gathered by The Sea World Information Guide or correct or delete any information in our database, please visit our contact page.
Many users are concerned about the security of their home or work networks. If you are not, you should be; any computer connected to the Internet, whether by modem, DSL, or cable connection, is capable of being compromised. To that end, some users may restrict the ability of web pages to activate certain functions using the Java or JavaScript programming environments on their computers, as these are sometimes used for invasive purposes.
The SWIG uses some JavaScript functions to enhance the navagation of the site. Commonly used functions are the window.history.back and window.close. No functions are used which access data on or write to your hard drive. If you disable JavaScript on your browser you will still be able to use the site but may have to use your browser's back and close functions instead, and may have some problems with navigating throughout the site.
By using this site, you signify your agreement with the terms outlined in our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to our Privacy Policy, please do not use this site, and please do not allow your children to use this site. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for any changes we may make to our Privacy Policy. This page is date stamped at the top so you will know when our Privacy Policy was most recently updated.
Your and/or your children's continued use of this site following changes to these terms constitutes your acceptance of these changes.
Thank you for visiting The Sea World Information Guide.
