Overview
TRITON OVERSEAS TRANSPORT, INC. (together with its subsidiaries, "Triton" or "we") considers the protection of personal privacy to be one of our most important values. This privacy policy ("Policy") gives you specific information on how we protect your privacy, how we treat personal information, and the choices you have. This privacy policy complies with the Safe Harbor framework under the E.U. Data Protection Directive. In addition, TRITON self-certifies compliance with the Safe Harbor framework to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
This Policy applies to all web sites and services owned or provided by TRITON and its subsidiaries, which we refer to here collectively as "TRITON Sites". TRITON Sites include, but are not limited to, www.tritonovs.com, and, as well as other TRITON-branded services. From time to time we may add new sites, domain names or services to those listed above. Please note that this Policy applies only to sites owned and services maintained by TRITON or its corporate subsidiaries and not to web sites or services provided by other companies or organizations to which we link.
As a condition of using the TRITON Sites, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Policy. Additional terms and conditions which govern your use of the TRITON Sites are contained in our User Agreement, and, as applicable, in certain other service-specific license agreements or terms of use, which you will be notified of at the time of your registration for the applicable services.
The Policy is accessible through the TRITON Sites in several ways, including from a link entitled "Privacy" at the bottom of the www.tritonovs.com home page. You acknowledge that this Policy may change over time. If we make a material change to the terms of this Policy, we will give you thirty (30) days notice of those changes ("Notice Period") through reasonably prominent disclosure, including via e-mail. However, you should check the TRITON Sites (and www.tritonovs.com in particular) regularly for these and other important announcements. Your continued use of the TRITON Sites following the Notice Period will signify that you agree to these changes.
Children
The TRITON Sites are not directed to children under the age of 21. The TRITON Sites prohibit registration by, and TRITON will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from, anyone under 21. This requirement will be posted at points of data collection within the TRITON Sites, such as registration for services.
Note to Parents. If you have any concerns about the TRITON Sites, please contact us via e-mail at info@tritonovs.com. TRITON encourages parents to spend time online with their children. We also urge parents to instruct their children never to give out their real names, addresses or phone numbers without parental permission when using the Internet.
Information Collection, Storage and Use
We refer to information that identifies an individual as "Personal Information." In general, TRITON collects Personal Information from users of the TRITON Sites in connection with access to certain online areas or services, including during (i) registration for certain online community services and tools such as message boards, chat rooms or other community services; (ii) registration for special communications, such as email updates and newsletters; (iii) subscription registration; (iv) user surveys; and (v) events, sweepstakes, contests or promotions through the TRITON Sites. Your Personal Information is stored on TRITON computer servers (or those of its service providers) located in the United States of America.
We may gather data about the areas of the TRITON Sites you visit or access. We do not use any of this navigational data about where you "as an individual user" go on TRITON Sites or share any of this data with third parties. However, we do use and share navigational data in aggregate, non-personal form to understand how our users as a group use the TRITON Sites.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information in public areas of a TRITON Site, such as the member home pages and message boards, your information can be viewed and possibly used by others. We advise users to be especially careful in such public areas about disclosing Personal Information, such as full name, home address, or phone number.
Below are more details about the Personal Information we, or third parties may gather from you and how we may use it.
A. Promotions. We may ask you for Personal Information at other times, including, but not limited to, when you enter sweepstakes, contests or promotions sponsored by TRITON or a third party. If you choose to enter sweepstakes, contests or promotions sponsored by a third party, the Personal Information you provide will be subject to the privacy policy of the third party sponsor. We encourage you to check the applicable third party policy before providing any Personal Information.
B. Surveys and User Research. TRITON conducts email and web-delivered surveys from time to time, as well as instant polls, to gather information about our users. Taking these surveys and polls is entirely optional. You have no obligation to respond to them. We share only the aggregate results of these surveys, not Personal Information, with our advertisers and partners to help them better understand our services and monitor the reach of their advertising or other offerings on our service. We also use some of the Personal Information that you provide in these surveys to help us understand your interests and to make the TRITON Sites more useful to you.
C. Purchase of Products or Services. When you purchase products or services from or through the TRITON Sites we may require Personal Information such as name, address, telephone number and billing information, including credit card, debit card or bank account data. TRITON will not disclose your Personal Information, including billing information, except to the extent necessary to complete your transaction, for example during an online purchase or where needed to deliver a product or service you ordered.
D. Sharing Non-Personal Information. TRITON may share information that is not Personal Information -- meaning non-personal, aggregate, or summary, information regarding our users -- with other third parties not mentioned in this Policy. This kind of information does not identify you individually.
E. Merger or Acquisition. In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or the sale of an individual website owned by TRITON, TRITON may transfer your Personal Information to a third party as a part of such merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale.
F. Legal Authorities. We may also disclose Personal Information in cases when we reasonably believe that it is necessary to identify someone who may be violating TRITON policies or TRITON Sites’ User Agreements or other terms of use, or who may be a threat to TRITON or third party rights, property, or personal safety. The TRITON Sites may disclose Personal Information to comply with valid legal process such as a duly issued search warrant, subpoena or court order.
Information Storage and Security
Your Personal Information is stored on TRITON computer servers (or those of its service providers) located in the United States. We protect your Personal Information with technical, administrative and physical safeguards to protect against loss, unauthorized access, destruction, misuse, modification and improper disclosure. No computer system or information can ever be fully protected against every possible hazard. But TRITON is committed to providing reasonable and appropriate security controls to protect our TRITON Sites and all Personal Information against foreseeable hazards.
Notwithstanding these security measures, please be aware that when you submit Personal Information to the TRITON Sites over the Internet, the information may travel over many systems that are not under the TRITON's control. We take the protection of user data very seriously and to that end take reasonable safeguards to prevent interception of any Personal Information.
