SEAPHE.org is committed to leveraging the benefits of Internet technology to offer an interactive and personalized experience. We may use your Personally Identifiable Information (name, email address, telephone number) according to this privacy policy, ensuring that it will never be sold, bartered, or rented to any unauthorized third party.
Gathering User Information
The method we use to collect and store information varies depending on the site page you visit, the activities you choose to engage in, and the services we provide.
Like many websites, SEAPHE.org automatically collects information and may use electronic tools that are often unnoticed by visitors. For instance, we might log your Internet Service Provider’s name or employ cookies to recognize you and retain your visit’s information. Cookies can store your credentials, sparing you from re-entering them on future visits, or manage advertisement frequency. As we embrace new technology, our information-gathering methods may evolve. You have the option to withhold certain information by, for example, setting your browser to reject cookies, which could limit your access to parts of the site.

- IP address, browser type and version, and operating system (automatically collected)
- A list of URLs, including the referring site, your activity on Our Site, and the exit site (automatically collected)
Storing Collected Information
Your data may be stored or transferred outside of the EEA, but we take all reasonable steps to protect it as securely as it would be within the EEA and under the GDPR. This may include legal contracts with third parties and EU-approved Model Contractual Arrangements.
We retain your data only as necessary or with your consent.
Data Retention Policies:
- Customer account data is kept indefinitely unless a removal request is made.
- Involuntarily-collected data (e.g., Cookies) is kept up to one year by web browsers.

Partner, Third-Party Websites and Advertisements
SEAPHE.org expects its partners, advertisers, and affiliates, to uphold the privacy of our users. However, it’s important to recognize that these third parties may follow their own privacy and data collection policies. For instance, while visiting our website, you might follow a link or view content within a frame on our site that is actually produced or hosted by a third party. Additionally, our platform might lead you to other websites, features, or competitions provided by external parties. SEAPHE.org is not accountable for the practices or policies of such entities, and we advise reviewing their privacy guidelines when interacting with their services.
Please note that disclosing your Personally Identifiable Information on public forums like message boards or chat rooms makes it accessible to the public and susceptible to use by third parties without our oversight, potentially leading to unwanted communications from others.
Furthermore, your site usage data, such as the pages you browse, can be utilized to target advertising on SEAPHE.org and other websites across the internet. This information may be gathered by third-party ad networks, including Google, SiteScout, various retargeting and remarketing services, Facebook, and YouTube, to tailor advertisements to your previous interactions with our website.
