This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Naturally North Bay, Inc., a California corporation (“Naturally North Bay”) collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User”) of its naturallynorthbay.org website and any derivative or affiliated websites on which this Privacy Policy is posted (collectively, the “Website”).

By using the Website, Users consent to the processing of their information, including personal information, as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to this Policy, you may not use our Website.

Naturally North Bay reserves the right, at its discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time by posting such changes to this page. You understand that you have the affirmative obligation to check this Privacy Policy periodically for changes, and you hereby agree to periodically review this Privacy Policy for such changes. The continued use of the Website following the posting of changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes an acceptance of those changes.

Naturally North Bay does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen through our Website. If you are under thirteen, please do not give us any information that identifies you personally. If you have reason to believe that your child has provided personal information to us through our Website, please contact us, and we will use reasonable efforts to delete that information from our databases.

Please note that the Website may contain links to other websites. These linked sites may not be operated or controlled by Naturally North Bay. Naturally North Bay is not responsible for the privacy practices of these or any other websites, and you access these websites entirely at your own risk. Naturally North Bay recommends that you review the privacy practices of any other websites that you choose to visit.

We respect your right to make choices about the ways we collect, use, and share your information. We generally ask you to indicate your choices at the time and on the page where you provide your information. Depending on the nature of your choices and applicable law, we may also give you ways to change your privacy preferences.

If we provide a means for you to change your privacy preferences, you must give us enough information and a reasonable amount of time to process your request. Your new preferences will only apply prospectively. For example, if you give us permission to share your information with our affiliates and later withdraw your permission, you may still receive e-mail from one of our affiliates, if we shared your information before you withdrew your permission.

In addition, you have choices about the types of email communications you receive and the manner in which your online activities are tracked:

Email preferences: You cannot opt out of transactional emails related, for example, to your registration for an event. However, you can opt out of promotional emails we send to you. If you wish to stop receiving promotional emails, simply click on the unsubscribe link located at the bottom of each communication.

Online tracking and third-party cookies: California law requires this Policy to address how we respond to any “Do-Not-Track signal” delivered by your browser. Because of the changing state of technology and indecision within the industry regarding the meaning of Do-Not-Track signals, we currently do not make any guarantee that we will honor them. However, as described below, you can opt out of cookies delivered to your computer by Naturally North Bay or third parties.
