1. What information of yours does the Portland Spirit web site collect?
We want to provide you with the best possible river cruise experience. To achieve this, Portland Spirit Online collects information about site visitors including anonymous and personally identifiable information. Anonymous information refers to data that is not tied back to a specific individual. Portland Spirit collects some information each time a visitor comes to a Portland Spirit website, so we can improve the overall quality of the visitor’s online experience. For example, Portland Spirit collects the visitor’s IP address, browser, and platform type. Gathering this data helps us provide the best possible user experience. Other anonymous information helps us determine what web pages are the most popular, for example. You do not have to register with Portland Spirit Online before we can collect this anonymous information. Personally identifiable information refers to data that tells us specifically who you are (e.g., your name and postal address). You are only required to provide such information if you want to take advantage of optional products and services.
Portland Spirit collects personal information by:
a. Registration: You may be asked for personal information when registering for specific services. For example, if you subscribe to an e-mail newsletter, you will be asked to provide your e-mail address.
b. Online Purchases: We also ask for personal information when you book a cruise or buy something from our giftshop through our website.
2. What organization collects the information and who has access to it?
Data collected through Portland Spirit’s website(s) is generally collected and maintained by Portland Spirit. More specifically:
a.) Personally identifiable information.
Information provided when you register for services or products. When you provide personally identifiable information on Portland Spirit Online to register for a service, buy a product, or take advantage of a promotion; effective as to information you provide Portland Spirit.
b.) Anonymous information.
We disclose to third-party sponsors/advertisers aggregate statistics (i.e., impressions and click-throughs on a company’s advertisement). Also, we may share aggregate website statistics with the media or other third parties. No personally identifiable information is disclosed to these sponsors/advertisers or other third parties as part of this process-only information in an aggregate form.
Be aware that Portland Spirits sponsors, advertisers, and third-party content providers have links on our site(s) that take you to other websites. For example, when you click on an ad displayed on Portland Spirit Online, you are linked to another site. Please note also that links to other websites are provided throughout Portland Spirit Online for users’ information and convenience. Portland Spirit hopes that all third parties involved adhere to our policies regarding the privacy of our users. However, Portland Spirit’s Online Privacy Policy does not cover third-party data collection practices, and Portland Spirit Online does not assume any responsibility for any actions of third parties.
3. How does Portland Spirit use the information it collects?
Portland Spirit collects information to provide you with the services you request and to improve user experience. For example, if you book a cruise online, we use the personally identifiable information you provide to send you information relevant to your event. Portland Spirit uses the aggregate, anonymous data collected to let our sponsors/advertisers know the number of impressions or views and the number of “click throughs” on their advertisement(s). Portland Spirit also uses this aggregate, anonymous data to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our site visitors.
Portland Spirit may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide information on individual users to the appropriate governmental authorities. In matters involving a danger to personal or public safety, Portland Spirit may voluntarily provide information to appropriate governmental authorities.
