Collection and Use of Your Personal Information
We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. Bayareamade.us collects your information to process orders for our services.
We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email, our website forms or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.
Sharing
We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization.
We share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
We use an outside credit card processing company to bill members for services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order.
Bayareamade.us may access and/or disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on bayareamade.us or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of bayareamade.us, including its Web site; or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of bayareamade.us or the public.
Personal information collected on this site may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which bayareamade.us or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using this site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. Bayareamade.us abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union.
Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about news, events, or changes to this privacy policy. Bayareamade.us may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your personal information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.

Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Membership Processing
We request information from you on our membership application form. To purchase membership, you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your order. If we have trouble processing an order, we’ll use this information to contact you.
