Normal Website Usage

You can visit all portions of the Oakville web site without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. The only information we collect from a normal website visit is the name of your Internet service provider, the browser and type of machine you are using, the website that referred you to us, the pages you request and the date and time of those requests.

This information is collected on an aggregate basis only. For example, Oakville Power & Sail Squadron tracks which pages are most popular among visitors as a whole, but we do not track information on which pages an individual visitor might look at during a visit to our site. We do not collect any other information -- such as the name, mailing address, email address, or phone number of the visitor -- without the visitor's knowledge and permission.

All information that we collect is used for internal review only and not shared with third parties.

We use this information to generate statistics and measure site activity to improve the usefulness of the site to our visitors.

Oakville Power & Sail Squadron, likewise, does not disclose any financial information to partners or any other third parties.

The Oakville website will not post personal contact information for visitors, including their email address, street address and phone numbers, without that individual's consent.
