Malapascua Beach Resort collects two kinds of information about users of this site:

Aggregated tracking data is the data we collect about users as they use the Malapascua Beach Resort Web site. We use aggregated data to better understand the requirements and interests of people visiting the Malapascua Beach Resort Web site, and to improve the usability of the site over time. Your individual behavior cannot be distinguished in the aggregated data.

Personally identifiable information
When you access the Malapascua Beach Resort Web site, your personally identifiable information is only collected with your knowledge and consent. We may require that you provide accurate personably identifiable information to access certain materials, software or related content; to participate in moderated forums or discussions, or to engage in commercial transactions with us. We never sell or rent any personally identifiable information you provide us.

Our policy regarding personally identifiable information
We may share your personally identifiable with affiliated companies, but only when those companies require the information to provide a service you have requested from us, and we have employed the agencies for the purpose of providing that service. For example, we may employ companies to manage mailing lists, process credit card payments, or ship packages. These parties are not authorized to use your personally identifiable information for any other purpose.

We reserve the right to release personal information when we believe that release is necessary to comply with the law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, our users, or others. We comply with US federal and California state laws and law enforcement agencies when asked.

Aggregated tracking information
We analyze visitors' use of our sites by tracking information such as pageviews, traffic flow, search terms, and click-through. We use this information to improve our site’s usability and relevance. We may employ third parties to assist us in analyzing aggregated information, but those parties are not able to identify you or any specific individual through study of the aggregated data.

Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that we may transfer to your computer through your Web browser when you visit our site. Cookies enable our systems to recognize your computer, so that we can provide you with personalized information and features. We also use cookies to track user traffic patterns. You can set your browser to alert you before accepting cookies, or to block cookies. If you block cookies, you may not be able to use certain site features or functions.

Certificates
A certificate is a small data file that we may transfer to your computer through your Web browser when you visit our site. Certificates enable our systems to communicate with your computer through encrypted communications. In this way, information you communicate to us, or information we communicate to you, is not accessible to a third party even if the third party is able to monitor the data being exchanged. A certificate is most commonly used when you are providing sensitive information such as a credit card number or a login password. We may use our own systems to issue a certificate, which may cause your browser to alert you that it does not recognize the entity issuing the certificate. This does not in any way mean that the communication with us is less "secure" than with any other entity using a comparable encryption method.

Terms of Use
Many of the services and communications provided through our Web site give you the ability to communicate openly with us and other site visitors. We ask that you use these resources responsibly. See our Terms of Use for more information.

A Privacy Policy is not a Guarantee
Any time you provide your personal information to another party and authorize that party to store that information electronically, there is some risk that the information you provided will be accessed by an unauthorized third party. This Privacy Policy states our standards for maintaining and protecting your personal information, and we will make every reasonable effort to live up to those standards. However, this policy is not a guarantee of nondisclosure of data. If we discover that your information has been disclosed to a party not authorized by you or Malapascua Beach Resort, we will obey all California state and United States federal laws regarding notification of the disclosure and any remedies that may be available to you to prevent improper use of your information.

Effective date and change policy
This privacy policy was put into effect on August 15, 2006. Malapascua Beach Resort has the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, add or remove any terms or conditions of this Privacy Policy. If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes at www.malapascuabeachresort.com.
