Some examples of personal information are name, age, home address, phone number, email address, IP address (a computer’s address), identification numbers, reading choices and age.

 We collect this information to help make our site more useful by assessing our web services and system performance, as well as learning how many people are visiting the site and how they are using it.

4. Personal information collected via email and web forms

Your personal information is collected by Shadow Ridge Boxers when you fill-in a library web form or send an email, such as when you apply for a library card online, ask a reference question, or offer book suggestions.

Personal information you send to us by email or when using our web forms will only be used by authorized staff for the purpose for which it was collected or for a consistent purpose, unless you consent otherwise, or it is authorized or required by law.

Information you send to Shadow Ridge Boxers using our web forms is encrypted so that it is protected from a third party accessing it in transit.  However, email messages sent over the internet are not secure and may be read by a third party who intercepts the communication. If you are concerned about sending your personal information over email, we suggest you either phone or fax us instead.

6. Security

Shadow Ridge Boxers uses reasonable security measures to protect against risks such as unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure or disposal.

These security measures protect personal information once it reaches our server. Shadow Ridge Boxers’s security cannot protect information while it is in transit over the internet, unless the information is collected by one of our secure online web forms. Information sent to Shadow Ridge Boxers in email messages is not secure.

7. Links to other sites

Shadow Ridge Boxers strives to provide a wealth of resources from our website, including links to sites outside of the library, such as encyclopedias, reference databases, tutoring help, and private organizations.
