Introduction
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to the
Terms and Conditions of use. It tells you what information
we collect, how we protect it and what choices you have about
how that information is used. Most information collected is
to enable us to best meet your needs as an action sports participant
in a highly customized and responsive manner. Please note
that any information that you reveal in a public forum (such
as a bulletin board or chat room/event) will be seen by third
parties not related to SunsetSurf.com and is therefore not
subject to this privacy policy. Also, if you link to a third
party site from SunsetSurf.com, any information you reveal
on that site is not subject to this Privacy Policy. You should
consult the privacy policies of each site you visit. |

13 Policy
