Privacy Policy

California Waters is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy is provided to help you understand our online information practices and enable you to make an informed decision about the way we may collect and use your information. We will not share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.

Like most website operators, we collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use our Website. We may collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. We will not use such information to identify our visitors, however, and will not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below. We may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to our Website.

We disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide services, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. We will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, we disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect property or rights of our own, or of third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of our Website and have supplied your email address, we may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with us and our products and services.
