Starboards
Starboards is sensitive to privacy issues on the Internet and are
committed to protecting your privacy on our Website. Starboards takes any
reasonable precautions to keep all information obtained from our online visitors
secure against unauthorized access and use and we periodically review our
security measures. We have established the following guidelines to explain the
way in which we use information gathered from visitors to our Websites.
What information does Starboards collect?
In general, you can visit Starboards on the Web to access
information while remaining anonymous and not revealing any personal
information. There are times, however, that we will ask you to provide certain
information (such as your name and e-mail address) so that we may understand you
better and provide you with information on any new products or services that you
might be interested in. Our Web server may also collect the domain names, but
not the e-mail addresses, of visitors to our Website. We use information to
monitor and assist us in improving the content on our Website.
How will Starboards protect your personal information?
Forms you fill out to interact with our business may request that
you give us sensitive information such as your name, e-mail address, mailing
address or telephone number. Whenever that is the case, Starboards will take
commercially reasonable steps to establish a secure connection with your Web
browser. For areas within our site which conduct electronic commerce, credit
card numbers are used only for payment processing through a secure server and
will not be disclosed to any third parties. You must be 18 years or older to
submit any personal information.
Note that our Website contains links to other non-Starboards
Websites. Although we try to link only to Websites that share our concern for
customer information privacy, we are not responsible for their content or their
privacy practices.
Starboards Linking Policy
Please feel free to provide direct hyperlinks from your website
to any public (not password accessed) webpage at
www.starboards.biz . All our web pages
can be reached by starting at
http://www.starboards.biz . We require that any such links be either
through:
1. a text link containing our domain name, or
2. a graphic banner logo seen on the linked page and the top of
this page. Any other linking methods are not licensed by Starboards.
3. Hyperlinks should either transfer visitors full screen to
Starboards, (not in a frame belonging to another site), or the link should
launch the Starboards Website (preferably our homepage) in a new browser window.
We require that Starboards HTML pages and content do not appear within the
frames of others, nor accompanied in any way by third-party material that may
create a mistaken impression in the mind of the viewer about Starboards
affiliation with, or endorsement of, the third party site or their frame.
4. The Starboards logo and related slogan, which are legally
protected trademarks, should never be removed from HTML pages on which they
appear, nor be associated with any third party we have not approved in writing,
in advance. Our web pages should always appear exactly as we have posted them.
5. Alternatively, you could download and reprint information from
our site, but we prefer being provided with a hyperlink instead. By linking
directly to us, visitors to your website will be given access to the most
up-to-date version of Starboards information possible. In addition, all our web
pages have links to a wealth of other information available from Starboards, the
coffee industry and historic Olde Towne Portsmouth (Virginia).
6. Of course, all Starboards site content is copyrighted by
Starboards with all rights reserved. Feel free to use it as you like, as long as
Starboards gets prominent credit as the source.
7. However, Starboards does not allow links with sites that:
-
Breach other's rights to privacy or
confidentiality
-
Promote illegal, fraudulent, or unlawful
activities
-
Are defamatory, libelous, offensive, or
obscene
-

-
Breach common "Netiquette"
Starboards is always happy to have other sites
provide a link to ours if these general policies are respected. We follow these
policies ourselves, so the links we provide to other sites respect the
legitimate interests of others in their intellectual property, bandwidth, and
corporate resources. We support good Netiquette and encourage the hospitality
community to do the same. Thanks again for your interest. Please let us know how
we can assist you further at
webmaster@starboards.biz.
