Because the South Carolina Nature-Based Tourism Association wants to demonstrate its commitment to our users’ privacy, it has agreed to disclose the following information.

Information Collection
SCNBTA is the sole owner of any information collected on the web site www.scnatureadventures.com. SCNBTA may collect information from our users at different points on our Web site.

Pages That Collect Information
We request information from the user on our Home, Contact Us, Join SCNBTA and Media Relations pages. In the future, we may collect information on the Conferences page. A user must provide contact information (such as name, email, etc.) in order to receive information. This information is used to contact the user, either by email or USPS mail, with requested information or printed information.

Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers, our servers utilize log files. Log files capture internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Communications from the Site
Users who have provided their email address, may occasionally receive information about events, announcements, and newsletters. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see the Choice/Opt-out section.

Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law, wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site.

Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of receiving information.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or other communications may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying and typing the word "unsubscribe" in the subject line, or by sending an email to Mary Ann Keisler.

Security
Online Security
We do not request a user's personal financial information via our forms online. All information requested on our web site is transmitted to us via unsecured email and ARE NOT encrypted for security. Because of this, users should never offer unsolicited financial information (such as credit card number or social security number, etc.) in any field in our forms on our web site. In the future, users may be asked for personal financial information when registering for conferences via a PayPal (secure) shopping cart. SCNBTA will not have access to any personal financial information collected by PayPal.

Offline Security
This Web site takes every precaution possible to protect our users’ information offline. All of our users’ information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, to update a members' information) are granted access to personally identifiable information.

If users have any questions about the security at our Web site, users can send an email to Mary Ann Keisler.

Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Member Information
If a member's information changes (such as address, zip code, phone, email or postal address, etc.), we provide a way to correct, update or change a member's information through the Join SCNBTA page, or by emailing Mary Ann Keisler. If a member wants to terminate his/her membership, we ask that you contact us in writing by postal mail at the address listed below.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the home page, and other places we deem appropriate so our users and members are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If, however, we are going to use users’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email and by posting a notice on our Web site for 30 days.
