Privacy Policy
At Sons of Anchoring, we respect your privacy as much as we respect a clean docking maneuver. This policy outlines how we handle your personal data across our club's operations, ensuring your information stays secure while you're part of our crew.
The Manifest (What We Collect)
- Identification Data: Your name, email address, and nautical background provided during enlistment.
- Transaction Details: Contact information and shipping address for gear orders.
- Communication Records: Correspondence regarding club activities or support requests.
How Data is Used
Your information is used strictly for club administration, fulfilling merch orders, communicating essential updates, and improving our digital experience. We do not use your data for unsolicited marketing beyond official club business.
Navigational Tracking (Cookies & Analytics)
We utilize standard cookies and analytics to monitor site performance and traffic patterns. This helps us ensure the site remains seaworthy and responsive to member needs, without identifying specific individuals.
Sharing & Third Parties
- Service Providers: Data is shared only with essential partners like secure payment gateways and shipping carriers to fulfill transactions.
- Legal Compliance: We may disclose information only if required by law to protect club safety or comply with legal processes.
Data Security & Retention
We employ industry-standard encryption and security protocols to safeguard your manifest. Data is retained only as long as necessary for membership services, tax compliance, or legal obligations.
Member Rights
- Access & Correction: You may request to see or update the data we hold on your profile.
- Data Deletion: You have the right to request we remove your data, subject to legal retention requirements.
- Opt-Out: Members can withdraw from club communications at any time.
For any privacy inquiries or to exercise your data rights, please fog-horn us at: viceadmiral@sonsofanchoring.com.
Third Parties & Security
We don't sell your data to landlubbers. We share info only with trusted first mates like payment processors (to handle your merch and membership dues) and shipping partners. Your data is kept under tight hatches with industry-standard encryption, because the only thing we want leaked is bilge water, not your details.
Member Rights at Sea
- Access: You can ask to see what data we have on your manifest at any time.
- Correction: If your details are off-course, we'll help you steer them right.
- Deletion: You can request we walk your data off the plank, provided we don't need it for the taxman.
- Opt-Out: Stop receiving our flares by hitting the 'Unsubscribe' link in any email.
