OpenROV Wiki:Privacy policy

The OpenROV team cares about your right to privacy. This policy explains how we intend to handle any personally identifying information you give us online. It does not apply to personally identifying information that we may collect offline. Personally identifying information is information that enables us to identify you, for example, your e-mail address, name, home phone number, etc.

How We Collect and Use Personal Information
You are welcome to visit the OpenROV web sites while remaining anonymous and not revealing any personally identifying information. Sharing your personally identifying information is strictly voluntary. However, if you choose not to provide certain information, you may not be able to take advantage of many of OpenROV's features and programs. The information you provide to OpenROV will better enable OpenROV to communicate with you regarding our project.

Cookies
Cookies are small text files that our web sites ask to place on your computer's hard drive. If your browser is set to accept cookies, then your browser adds the text in a small file. We do not use cookies to read any other information on your computer's hard drive. We use cookie technology to authenticate your access to various areas of our web site, tailor its content to your preferences, and to help us analyze web traffic in general. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies, or to warn you before a cookie is placed. If you choose not to accept cookies, you may have to manually input user IDs and passwords to receive certain data.

Safeguarding Personally Identifying Information
We aim to protect the personally identifying information you share with us. OpenROV uses a variety of commercially available security technologies to protect your personally identifying information, including secure servers, firewalls and encryption of some data.

Bulletin boards, forums and/or newsgroups are also available to you on OpenROV's web sites. Please remember that any information that you provide in these areas becomes public and you should exercise caution in deciding to disclose it.

Disclosure to Third Parties
Under certain circumstances, personally identifying information may be given to OpenROV business partners when we believe your business interests will be served. For instance, if we need to ship products to you, we will share your name and address with a carrier. OpenROV will also release personally identifying information if compelled by law to do so. Otherwise, OpenROV will not provide your personally identifying information to any third party outside the OpenROV team without your consent.

Children under the age of 13
The vast majority of the OpenROV web sites do not target and are not intended for children under the age of 13. OpenROV values the privacy needs of these children and encourages parents to be an active participant in their child's online activities and interests. We abide by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requirements. OpenROV's web sites that do not target children will not knowingly collect data from them. If we discover personal data from a child that has been provided through an OpenROV website that is targeted to adults and older children, we will eliminate that data.

We reserve the right to change this policy at any time. While we do not intend to make changes to this policy very often, it is always a good idea to double check our most current policy statement when you visit us to be sure that you have read and agree with what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it.
