We profile all our members on the "Member's Activity " and "About our Members" pages in a way that will maintain privacy. First names only with general information such as towns, states and favorite body of water (f.b.w).

The data stored on our servers will be used ONLY in the case of aggregate statistical reporting in which generic data is pulled from our system. In other words, we track how many visitors we have a day along with the number of page hits and which pages are being hit. We also know in some cases which ISP is involved , the country of origin, the link used to get to our site and the search term used (if there was one), the type of operating system being used and the browser type. Beyond that no personal information is collected or provided to AVYC other than the information provided by the visitor in one of our surveys.

We want to keep the site open to all visitors. We do not use ID names and/or passwords (other than our free Email service). Because of our desire to keep the club's web pages accessible to all, we do not allow posting directly to the site. We use forms for all visitor inquiries and member posting. Once we receive the posting it is reviewed by an editor to insure it contains appropriate language; it is only then that it is posted to the site. We are committed to keeping the site safe for the whole family. The only exception to this policy is we periodically open our Member Forum. Anyone can post to the forum and we do monitor it. If at anytime you see material you find offensive, do not hesitate to CONTACT US No Forum is currently open.

This site contains links to other sites. We also have affiliates who interact with our members and visitors through our various stores, MyBoatClub.Com Email Service and traffic analyzers. AVYC is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such sites or organizations. We encourage you to read the privacy statement of every sites you visit. Especially if you provide personal information.
