Dolphin Research Center Privacy Policy

Dolphin Research Center is committed to providing you with a safe internet environment that fosters your knowledge of dolphins and other marine mammals. This privacy policy discloses how we collect, protect, use and share information gathered about you on our web site.

What information do we collect and how are we collecting it?

Information You Provide – Most of the Dolphin Research Center web site can be viewed anonymously. However, some activities on our web site make it necessary to collect your personally identifiable information. For example, when you Adopt-A-Dolphin or join the Dolphin Society, we may collect your name, age, e-mail address, street and billing address, phone number and credit card information.

Information Collected from Children – DRC will not condition a child’s participation in an activity on the child’s disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary. In addition, a parent may review the information collected from a child by accessing the child’s account. A parent may also have a child’s information deleted or refuse to permit the future collection of information from the child.

How does Dolphin Research Center use your personally identifiable information?

Dolphin Research Center uses your personally identifiable information in a limited number of ways. If you Adopt-A-Dolphin or join the Dolphin Society, we use your information to process the transaction. However, financial information is not stored by DRC after your membership request is processed. Other personally identifiable information may be used to contact you directly to discuss your membership, answer questions posed by you or inform you of special opportunities or promotions.

Dolphin Research Center does not share your personally identifiable information with other companies or organizations. However, we will share your personal information if we are required to do so by law. Examples include compliance with a court order or subpoena.

What are your choices with respect to DRC’s collection and use of your personal information?

You may use much of our web site without giving us any personally identifiable information. However, when you register with us or give us personally identifiable information of yours, you can limit our use of your information. For example, you can limit e-mail communication from DRC. You may also unsubscribe from DRC communications by e-mailing our Membership Department at drc-mbr@dolphins.org.

What kind of security does DRC provide?

Dolphin Research Center wants its web site visitors and members to feel confident that their personally identifiable information is protected. Consequently, DRC uses encryption technology to protect sensitive data such as your credit card information.
