This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) sets forth the terms under which you share your information with Fort Lauderdale Sea Cadets and how Fort Lauderdale Sea Cadets collects and uses your information.

This Privacy Policy applies when you make a donation, register for an event, purchase a product, or otherwise provide us with information via the Fort Lauderdale Sea Cadets Website located at www.ftlseacadets.org, www. seacadetbuildingfund.org or any other domain names owned or controlled by Fort Lauderdale Sea Cadets (the “Website”) or in another manner, such as via telephone, email, regular mail, social media, texting, mobile applications, at a special event, in response to a solicitation or face-to-face.

Each local Fort Lauderdale Sea Cadets affiliate (“Affiliate”) is a separate legal entity, governed by an independent board of directors, executive committee or other governing body, and each Affiliate is solely responsible for its own collection and use of your information, separate and apart from this Privacy Policy.

Credit card and billing information

In addition to your contact information, when you make a donation or purchase, Fort Lauderdale Sea Cadets asks for your billing address and credit card or other financial services information. Fort Lauderdale Sea Cadets uses a third-party banking agent to process your payments via a secured socket layer connection (TLS 1.2 using SHA 256 encryption) to a secured server that verifies your credit card/bank information. They return a unique tracking number only, which cannot be decrypted to obtain the payment card information, and Fort Lauderdale Sea Cadets never retains your complete credit card number. Only employees who need access to your personal information to perform a specific job are granted access to that information, and Fort Lauderdale Sea Cadets and our banking agent will not share your credit card/bank information with any other third party.

Other contact information

Fort Lauderdale Sea Cadets may ask for contact information for people other than yourself, including, for example, names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of others to whom you send information or in whose honor or behalf you are making a donation or purchase. Fort Lauderdale Sea Cadets uses this information to send notifications or information you requested and/or to inform the recipient of your donation or purchase, as well as to contact the recipient from time to time to inform them of other opportunities and information about Fort Lauderdale Sea Cadets. Like you, the recipient will always have the opportunity to opt out of receiving future communication from Fort Lauderdale Sea Cadets.
