Use of Cookies

The Carolina Boats and Carts website may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issues the cookie to you.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the website.

Links to other Sites

Our website does contain links to affiliate and other websites. Please note this privacy policy does not govern the collection and use of information by companies not controlled or managed by Carolina Boats and Carts. Therefore, we encourage all users, visitors, prospects, or customers to be aware when they leave our website and to read the privacy policy of every website that collects personally identifiable information.

Children under the age of Thirteen

Carolina Boats and Carts does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen. If you are under the age of thirteen, we ask that you not submit any form or make any request on our website, and you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to use the website.

Security

Carolina Boats and Carts takes precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. Wherever we collect sensitive information (e.g. credit application), that information is encrypted and transmitted to use in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the webpage.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.

This is all done to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure or modification of the user’s personal information under our control. If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, you should contact us immediately via telephone or via email.
