For example, if you have provided your email address to us, then we may, from time-to-time, send you informative emails describing updates at camp and special marketing offers that may be of interest to you. If you would rather not receive this communication from us, then please do not hesitate to let us know by sending an email to info@alohabeachcamp.com; or by sending us a letter via United States postal mail to P.O. Box 4443, West Hills, CA 91308; or by calling us on the telephone at (818) 932-4600.
We also use personally identifiable information for camp registration purposes, record keeping, customizing Web site content to our visitors' current and future needs, and otherwise administering our Web site.
Sharing
We do not share any personal information collected with any third parties.
Tell A Friend Feature
On our home page, we offer a feature where you can tell a friend about Aloha Beach Camp by sending them an email. This feature is provided strictly as a convenience for you and we do not collect or receive any knowledge or information (personally indentifying or otherwise) of your friend, his or her email address or even whether you use this feature; any such communication is solely between you and your friend(s).
Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, utilized by most popular browsers, including Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer. This technology allows us to use the industry standard encryption tools necessary to protect information transmitted between your computer and our server. Please note that this technology is only in place on our Camp Registration Form and Employment Application Form, but not on our Information Request Form.
For Parents
It is our strict policy to create Web site content that requires minimal submission of personal information. The only information we do collect is from the entries you or your child submits on the Forms mentioned above. No information is collected from "cookies" or other unseen means. If you have a child under 13 who tries to sign up for camp online, he or she will be instructed to get your help to fill out the form. If your child fills out the Information Request Form, we will respond to that request while asking your child for your name and email address. We'll then e-mail you to inform you of your child's request, and let you know that a brochure is being mailed to your residence. At this time, you will have the opportunity to request that we make no further use of the collected information, including deleting it from our records. You also have the right at any time to review any personal information we may have collected from your child by contacting us using any of the methods below.
For Kids
We hope you enjoy our Web site. You can browse the entire site without telling us anything about yourself. To this extent, we urge you to be smart and responsible online. Do not give out your name, home address, e-mail address, telephone number, or any other personal information that would let somebody contact you (either online or offline) unless you get your parent's permission first. As you may have noticed, there are areas on our site where you can fill out a form to request more information about our camp, and even sign up for camp this summer. If you request information from us, then we will ask you for your name, e-mail address, and related personal information. We'll also ask for your parent's name and e-mail address. This is so we can contact your parents to let them know you've contacted us, and so that we can tell them that we have collected this information from you. If you want to sign up for camp online, you will need to get your mom or dad to help you fill out the registration form.
For Job Applicants
You can apply for a job using our online Employment Application. No information you share with us will be disclosed to any third parties.
