Private Policy
BOAC is committed to protecting your privacy. Keeping the privacy of our members and earning and retaining the trust of our customers is important to us. All personal information you gave us is kept confidential and will not be divulged or sold to third parties without your consent.
Your information is used only for purposes of enhancing your BOAC experience. We realize that you have concerns about your privacy so we have created this statement to give you easy access to information about our privacy practices.
The Information We Collect
BOAC asks for your name, email address, contact numbers and other particulars such as age, sex, occupation, academic qualification, and outdoor interests & experience ( including favorite destination ) when you register to join our mailing list. When you register to join our activities, BOAC asks for other personal information such as home address, birth date, blood group and next-of-kin information.
The Way We Use Information
We use the information you provide about yourself to fulfill your requests for our products, programs and services, to respond to your inquiries about our offerings, and to offer you other products, programs or services that we believe may be of interest to you. We may use non-identifying and aggregate information ( such as 'how many percentage of our members are female' ) for internal marketing and promotional purposes. In addition, non-identifying and aggregate information may be used to improve the design and content of the BOAC website and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience.
BOAC does not share, sell, or trade email addresses, telephone numbers, information collected as part of a survey or specific details about you and your household with any third party.
BOAC does not release your financial information, if provided by you, to any other companies or organizations except to process your payment for your BOAC adventure.
BOAC does not share any past or current client names, postal & email addresses with any other companies or organizations.
The Information We Collect Is Safe From Prying Eyes
Recognizing the importance of your privacy and your trust in us, the information we collect on this website is secured with our own 128-bit SSL ( Secured Sockets Layer ) encryption certificate. Secured Sockets Layer is a protocol that transmits your communications over the Internet in an encrypted form. Virtually unbreakable, 128-bit encryption is used by all banking infrastructures to safeguard sensitive data.
SSL ensures that your confidential information is sent, unchanged, only to the server you intended to send it to ( ie. BOAC's web server ). A “padlock“ icon in your browser’s status bar ( at the bottom right corner ) will indicate that a secure session is in progress. Online shopping sites frequently use SSL technology to safeguard credit card information during transmission to the web server. Hence you can rest assured that your private & sensitive data will be kept safe from prying eyes and won't be compromised nor abused.
Cookies
As part of providing customizable and personalized services, BOAC may use a web browser feature known as a "cookie," a small data file that's saved on your hard drive. Cookies cannot retrieve personal information from your computer. However, once you have registered, a cookie allows us to recognize you when you return to our site, creating a more personalized experience for you and eliminating your need to login. If you are uncomfortable with cookie technology, you can adjust the settings on your browser accordingly.
