This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) applies to information collected online from users of the GHOSTWORKS website at www.ghostworksmarine.com. (the “Site”) and explains how we collect, use, and protect that information. This Policy applies to GHOSTWORKS’ collection, use, processing, storage, and transfer of information from the Site. For the purposes of this Policy, unless otherwise noted, references to the Site includes email correspondence or use of GHOSTWORKS’ online forms or other electronic messages between you and the Site.

Personal Information does not include anonymous or aggregated data that can no longer be used to identify a specific person, even if combined with other data. Also, we may collect information related to businesses, companies, institutions, or other entities rather than individuals (“Business Information”). We do not consider Business Information, such as title, employer’s name, work email, work phone number, work address, and other similar business information, to be Personal Information.
Please note that the products and services offered on this Site are intended for users who reside in the United States. If you visit our Site from a country outside the United States, please note that the data protection laws in the country in which you reside may be different from the data protection requirements in the United States. Information that we may collect from you in connection with your use of this Site will be processed in accordance with federal and state laws of the United States.
Information We Collect
We collect information about you in several ways: 1) directly from you; 2) indirectly from you via your use of the Site; and 3) from third parties.
Information Collected Directly From You
When you contact us through our Site or online forms, we will collect certain Personal Information about you so that we may verify your identity, adequately respond to your inquiry or assist you in purchasing products. To do this, we collect information from you when you visit our Site, send us questions or communicate with us through the Site, register with us, place an order, fill out a form, or provide information in connection with other activities, services, features, or resources we make available on the Site. We may collect information including your first and last name, email address, phone or fax number, date of birth, and the contents of any messages you may send us. Specifically, the information we collect and the purpose associated is as follows:
The personal information we collect from you is used to provide you with our products and services in a timely manner, to answer your inquiries, and to allow you to apply for jobs.
Information Collected Indirectly from You
When you visit our Site, we may collect information about your visit and maintain that information in our web server logs, which are records of the activities on our Site. The servers automatically capture and store the information electronically. Examples of the information we may collect include: Internet Protocol (IP) address; browser type and language; Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring and exit Sites and applications; Sites viewed while on the Site; operating system; date/time stamp of activity; clickstream data; whether you are a first-time or a returning user; links you clicked on while in the Site; and your flow and navigation path through the Site. We use this information in a deidentified and aggregated fashion to help us administer the site, analyze its usage, protect the Site and its content from inappropriate use, and improve your Site experience.
Cookies
GHOSTWORKS does not use cookies to track information related to users of our Site. Such tracking is done by third-party Google Analytics, which may use technologies such as “cookies” to remember certain information about you, remember your preferences, or recognize you when you return to the Site. Cookies also help compile aggregate data about Site traffic and Site interaction so that we can improve our Site and protect our Site from fraud. The Google Analytics policies can be found at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
A cookie is a text file that is stored on your computer. As text files, cookies cannot read information on your hard drive, run programs, or deliver viruses to your computer.
Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. You can set your browser to decline all cookies automatically or to prompt you for a response each time a cookie is offered. If you decline cookies, you may find that you cannot access all of our Site’s features.
During your browsing session, we use “session” cookies to store information and monitor Site function. These session cookies are installed during your browsing session and are deleted when the browsing session has ended.
In some parts of our Site and through email messages, you will find a “click-through URL” linked to content on our Site. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click such links in our email messages.
We also use log files when you visit our Site. Log files track IP addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP) identity, referring/exit pages, platform type, data/time stamp, and number of clicks. We utilize this information in our legitimate interest in administering the Site, preventing fraud, tracking Site navigation in the aggregate, and gathering broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Site Analytics
We use third-party Site analytics software from third-party providers, specifically, Google Analytics, in connection with our Site to gather data such as age, gender, and interests to provide advertising targeted to suit your interests and preferences.
You may opt out of the automated collection of information by third-party ad networks for the purpose of delivering advertisements tailored to your interests, by visiting third party pages and using their opt out methods.
This analytics software helps us target our online ads based on information collected directly from you or by automated means, like cookies. These companies also use automated technologies to collect information when you click on our ads, which helps track and manage the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
GHOSTWORKS utilizes analytics software provided by Google Analytics. Google Analytics collects information associated with the Site (like information about your browser, network, and device, web pages visited before and during your view of the Site, and your IP address) that is not used to identify a user. This information helps us better understand how visitors use our Site, detect and defend against fraud and other security risks, and present advertisements, products, and/or services of interest to you.
Information We Collect From Third Parties
We may collect information that others provide about you when you use the Site or obtain information from other sources and combine that with information we collect through the Site.
- Third Party Services. If you link, connect, or login to your account with a third-party social media service (e.g., Facebook, Google, Instagram, Yelp, etc.), the third-party service may send us information such as your registration and profile information from that service. This information varies and is controlled by that service or as authorized by you via your privacy settings at that service.
- Other Sources. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may receive additional information about you, such as demographic data or fraud detection information, from third party service providers and/or partners, and combine it with information we have about you. For example, we may receive fraud warnings from service providers like identity verification services for our fraud prevention and risk assessment efforts. Other examples of such providers include, but are not limited to, backend processing, fulfillment, and automation, email management, authentication, form processing, Site usage tracking, and database hosting and management.

Some content or applications, including advertisements, on the Site are served by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers and application providers. First-party or third-party cookies may be used alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our Site. A first-party cookie is a cookie set by the domain name that appears in the browser address bar. A third-party cookie is a cookie set by (and on) a domain name that is not the domain name that appears in the browser address bar. It might be set as part of a side resource load (image, JS, iframe, etc., from a different hostname) or an AJAX HTTP request to a third-party server. The information that first-party and third-party cookies collect may be associated with your Personal Information or they may collect information, including Personal Information, about your online activities over time and across different Sites and other online services (i.e., tracking such activities).

Fee
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.
Security of your Personal Information
We implement a variety of security measures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, which include holding your personal information on a secured network with limited access. This information is required by GHOSTWORKS to be kept confidential. Although we use our best efforts to ensure the security and confidentiality of your personal information, unfortunately, no data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Thus, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. You should only access our Site within a secure environment and you remain solely responsible for the security of your computer or other device at all times.
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we maintain appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information and data stored on our system.
When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted by GHOSTWORKS to other Sites, it is protected through the use of encryption. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures we have implemented reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved.
Links to Other Sites
Our Site may contain links to, or advertisements about, non-GHOSTWORKS Sites. Other sites may also reference, advertise, or link to the GHOSTWORKS Site. You may be able to post content to third party Social Networking Sites on which we maintain a presence. If you choose to do this, we will provide information to the Social Networking Site(s), and receive information from them, in accordance with your elections. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for your use of those Sites and that it is your responsibility to review the applicable terms of use and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, products or services of third-party Social Networking Sites.
While you are using the Site, you may be linked or directed to other third-party Sites that are beyond our control. These third-party Sites may have privacy policies and terms of use which differ from ours. Please carefully review these policies. We are not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
Retention and Accuracy of Personal Information
We do our best to ensure that the Personal Information we hold, and use is accurate. We rely on the individuals we do business with to disclose to us all relevant information and to inform us of any changes. We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise required by law. We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as for tax, accounting or other legal requirements).
When we have no legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Data Transfer
We may maintain your Personal Information on computers and servers located outside of your state of residence, country, or economic region.
We may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more order processors (e.g., providers, web service providers, newsletter distribution providers), responsible sales offices, sales representatives or partner companies, who will also use the personal data exclusively for the stated purposes. The transmission of your data entered in the forms is encrypted in all cases. Any further transfer of your personal data to third parties will only take place with your consent, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or in order to protect the rights, property and safety of GHOSTWORKS. Insofar as external service providers come into contact with personal data, we require mandatory legal, technical and organizational measures to comply with data protection regulations.
Changes to the Policy
From time to time, we may change this Policy and will notify you of material changes by posting the changed or modified Policy on our Site. Any changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Policy unless otherwise specified.
A Note to Parents Regarding the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act:
Our Site is a general audience Site that is neither designed nor intended to collect personal information from children. GHOSTWORKS cares about the safety and privacy of children online and complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). COPPA and its accompanying FTC regulation establish United States federal law that protects the privacy of children using the Internet. Children under the age of 13 should not send us any personal data, including your email. If you are under the age of 13 and would like to contact us, please ask your parent or legal guardian to contact GHOSTWORKS on your behalf. We ask that parents supervise their children while online.

- Charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts, benefits, or other penalties;
- Providing a different level or quality of goods or services; and
- Suggesting a different price or quality of goods or services will apply if rights are exercised.
No Financial Incentive
We do not offer any financial incentives or price or service differences in an attempt to influence a resident’s decision whether or not to exercise a right afforded to the consumer under the CPRA.
Children’s Information
Our Site is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with Personal Information without your consent, please contact us by using the information in the “Contacting Us” section below, and we will take steps to remove such Personal Information from our systems.
Authorized Agent
A California resident may use an authorized agent to submit a right to access request or a request to delete. To use an authorized agent, the California resident must provide the agent with written authorization. In addition, the California resident may be required to verify their own identity with us. GHOSTWORKS may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by the California resident to act on their behalf. Such requirements, however, will not apply where a California resident has provided the authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to Cal. Prob. Code Sections 4000 to 4465.
