Privacy Policy for Troop
711 Website Troop 711, Cape Fear District,
Occoneechee Council, Boy Scouts of America is committed to respecting
and protecting the personal privacy of its members and those who visit
its Web site. It is our policy to acquire personal information from
users only by overt and voluntary means, only when it is in the interest
of the user to provide it, and to utilize this information only for the
purpose it was provided.
The information that follows explains the kinds of information the Troop
711 Web site collects, how it is used, the conditions under which it is
made available to third parties, how information is maintained, and our
compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
This site collects anonymous data that is not indicative of and cannot
be traced to an individual without the cooperation of their Internet
Service Provider. This data includes information about the user's remote
IP address, referral data (which page "linked" to the present request),
and the browser software's user-agent string. This information is
accepted passively from the HTTP headers that are sent from the user
when requesting any file from the server.
Personally identifiable data is collected only by means of form
interfaces on the site, into which the user must voluntarily enter the
information requested. This information is requested only when it is
necessary to accomplish the overt purpose indicated by the interface
containing the form that requests it.
No attempt is made to covertly or "quietly" collect personally
identifiable information, nor are cookies or any other tracking
technology used for the purpose of coordinating information that a user
may opt to enter in various interfaces on the site.
Information entered by site visitors is retrieved directly by Troop 711,
Cape Fear District, Occoneechee Council, Boy Scouts of America.
The anonymous information collected is used to monitor the usage of this
Web site and the interests of those who use it. Data such as the volume
of traffic to the server, the number of visitors a certain section of
the site receives each month, or the most popular search terms are
Analyzed to derive general statistics about the site's reach and the
audience's usage patterns.
Personally identifiable information is used only for the express purpose
for which it was submitted.
Troop 711 does not share personally identifiable information about its
web site visitors with anyone.
Reports, statistics, and other analyses of aggregate anonymous
information may be shared within the organization or provided to third
parties at the sole discretion of Troop 711. This information does not
include any personally identifiable information.
Exception: Troop 711 reserves the right to use all information at its
disposal and to share this information with ISPs and other third parties
as necessary to investigate any incident of misuse or abuse of its site,
server, or information systems.
In most cases, personally identifiable information is not maintained.
Once it has been used for its intended purpose, it is deleted. Because
of the brevity of this interval, no mechanism is provided to enable
users to alter or delete information they have submitted.
Troop 711 does not use its Web site to collect any personally
identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. Any
interface that requests personally identifiable information that appears
on an interface that can be expected to be viewed by children under 13
years of age is accompanied by a notice that submissions cannot be
accepted from users under 13 years of age. Where "age" or "date of
birth" is requested, no information will be stored or transmitted unless
the response indicates that the user is 13 years of age or older.
Providing personal information is never a prerequisite for
accessing any of the content or resources on this Web site.
Specifically, refusal to provide personal information via a Web
interface will never result in a user being denied access to any on-line
content or resource he would be able to access were the information
submitted.
We may modify this privacy policy and will post those changes here.
It may be necessary to deviate from this general policy in unique
instances and for specific purposes. In such instances, a link will be
provided to a description of the deviation. This link will be placed
where it can be reasonable expected to be noticed prior to submitting
any information for which this privacy policy is modified or exempted in
any way.
