Like most website operators, Sea Breathe collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Sea Breathe’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Sea Breathe’s visitors use its website.
Sea Breathe also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Sea Breathe does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Sea Breathe’s website choose to interact with Sea Breathe in ways that require Sea Breathe to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Sea Breathe gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, those who engage in transactions with Sea Breathe – by purchasing products – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Sea Breathe collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Sea Breathe.
Sea Breathe does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Sea Breathe discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees that need to know that information in order to process it or to provide services available at Sea Breathe’s website. By using Sea Breathe’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information.
Sea Breathe will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees as described above, Sea Breathe discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Sea Breathe believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Sea Breathe, third parties or the public at large. Sea Breathe takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Security Features
Sea Breathe has implemented a number of security features to prevent the unauthorized release of or access to personally identifying information, such as firewalls and secure servers. The secure server encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. Please be advised, however, that while we have endeavored to create a secure and reliable site for our users, perfect security is not yet available on the Internet and the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to or from us via our sites or e-mail cannot be 100% guaranteed. Accordingly, we are not responsible for the security of information transmitted via the Internet. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our system. Only authorized personnel have access to any stored personally identifying information which Sea Breathe may collect from its users.
