• Call Center Privacy Statement
GENERAL
PRIVACY POLICY
The information sharing practices described in this privacy
policy apply to our current and potential customers, users of our internet
sites, recipients of surveys or marketing information, and boating enthusiasts.
OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY
Thank you for purchasing a boat or requesting information from Triton
Boat Company, L.P. (“Triton”) is sensitive to privacy issues
concerning your personal information. This policy is designed to assist
you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal information
you provide to us during your visits to our Web site (the “Site”)
or through product registration cards, surveys, call centers, or other
customer contacts. TRITON WILL NOT SELL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.
You take privacy seriously, and so does Triton. It is our way of sustaining
your trust in Triton and in our products and services.
YOUR CONSENT
Revisions. We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. You are responsible for checking this policy when you visit our Site to review the current policy. By using this Site, you agree to our use of the information we collect about you as set forth in this Privacy Policy. Last update: August, 2006.
Description of Information Practices Not Currently in Effect. This privacy policy addresses some types of information, means of collecting information, and uses of information that may not presently apply to one or more of our sites. We tell you about these types of information, means of collecting information, and uses of information anyway because we want to maintain flexibility in offering additional features without having to revisit our terms and conditions or privacy policy every time we revise a site or offer new functions. No description of any type of information, means of collecting information, or use of information will require us to collect any particular information, make any particular use of any information, or offer any particular functionality through any site.
Changes to This Privacy Policy. If we decide to change this privacy policy, we will post the revised policy on this site. Except as stated below, we will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected. BY USING OUR SITE, YOU AGREE TO THIS CHANGE PROCEDURE.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
AND WHY
Types of Information. You may visit this Site
without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about
you. When you visit our Site, purchase our products, contact our Call
Centers, or participate in promotions or surveys you may provide us with
two types of information:
1. Personal information which you knowingly choose to
disclose that is collected on an individual basis or provided by an authorized
dealer as part of your purchase. Personal information includes email address,
first and last name, home or other physical address, telephone numbers,
and other demographic information. For example, when a user orders a brochure
online or completes a survey, the user voluntarily provides information
about his current boat ownership, purchase plans and cruising or sportfishing
preference. This information is used for market analyses, targeted direct-mail
campaigns, and follow-up mailings. Triton, our authorized dealers, and
any marketing consultants responsible for mailings receive this user information.
2. Aggregate Demographic Information. We may also share
aggregated customer demographic information with our users, our affiliated
organizations, and other organizations with which we do, or contemplate
doing, business. Such information is aggregated and is not linked to any
information that can identify individual users.
3. Aggregate Site-Use information. We or our hosting
provider may collect traffic information from visitors for statistical
analysis and site improvement. When you access a site, we or our hosting
provider may collect information about your visit in a log file on a server.
Log file information may include, but is not limited to, internet protocol
(IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit
pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. We or our
hosting provider use this information to analyze trends, administer sites,
track users’ movements in the aggregate, and gather demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses and other log file information
are not linked to personal information. We do not try to track users or
to identify users individually except as otherwise stated in this policy,
but we or our hosting provider do review this information to understand
overall trends and to determine what kinds of content are popular and
useful to users.
USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Triton does not sell, share, transfer or otherwise disclose personal information
to third parties, except to our marketing providers, our authorized dealers,
sister companies (affiliates), partners, and their marketing providers,
all of which have comparable levels of privacy protection, or where disclosure
is required by law. We may have agreements with marketing providers to
provide specific services for you. When you request or use such services,
we may share personal information with suppliers or marketing providers
who have contractually agreed to protect your information according to
our privacy policies. In such cases, we will use good faith efforts to
restrict any personal information provided to the information necessary
for the provision of such services and limit any other use of the information.
Consequently, we may transfer your information to countries throughout
the world wherever we or such third parties conduct business. We may additionally
use, store, disclose or otherwise process the personal information you
provide for any of the following purposes:
• to understand the use of our Site and make improvements;
• to respond to specific requests or inquiries from Site visitors
or to our customers;
• to obtain parental consent from visitors under 18 years of age,
where necessary;
• to provide any necessary notices to our visitors or their parent
or guardian;
• to protect the security or integrity of our Site when necessary;
• to send you notices, promotions, and solicitations regarding the
Site and products and services;
• to provide exclusive benefit packages to our customers;
• to provide product notifications from Triton or as required by
the Federal Boat Safety Act;
• to provide product and marketing surveys to determine your present
and future needs;
• to aid in providing customer service or warranty assistance;
• to send magazines, newsletters, brochures, catalogs, and other
marketing materials.
Call
Center Use of Personal Information
Personal information, including names, addresses, and personal opinions,
may be retained by Marketing Call Centers, or Customer Service and Warranty
Call Centers for any of the following purposes:
• to assist callers with obtaining
marketing information;
• to assist callers with customer
or product issues;
• to evaluate callers’ experiences
with marketing programs, products, service, and sales;
• to comply with any requirement of
law or request of a governmental authority;
• to return calls or follow-up with
third parties to provide the caller with assistance;
• to keep an accurate record of calls;
• to train employees and improve service;
and
• any other specific purpose explained
to the caller.
The caller’s personal information will only be used by the Call
Center for these specified purposes and will not be sold to any third
party. Depending on your request to the Call Center, Callers’ personal
information may be forwarded to third party suppliers with which we have
contracted to provide you with certain products or services and which
have comparable levels of privacy protection. The Call Center will provide
a caller with a copy of any retained documented personal information upon
written request within a reasonable amount of time. Personal information
will be subject to the safeguards, access, retention and disposal policies
as set out in the Triton’s Privacy Policies and Practices under
Call Centers and Brunswick’s Document Retention policies.
Email Information.
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content
of your email messages together with your email address and our responses.
If you give us your e-mail address, we may send you a welcoming e-mail
that may verify password and user name information. If you wish to unsubscribe
from e-mail contact, follow the directions in the e-mail or use the contact
information at the end of this policy to remove your name from the database.
Marketing Surveys, Solicitations,
Or Contests.
From time to time, we may use personal information provided through product
registration to request marketing information from you using surveys,
solicitations, or contests. Additional information requested may include
contact information (such as e-mail address) and demographic information
(such as number of family members and income ranges). Participation in
surveys, solicitations, or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore
have a choice as to whether to disclose any information. We will use such
contact information to notify winners and award prizes, to monitor or
improve the use of one or more sites or advertising, and to provide aggregated
information for marketing analyses. We use this information to analyze
your present and future needs related to our products and to send you
further notices, promotions, solicitations, or brochures and other marketing
materials regarding the Site and the products and services of our businesses
and those of our affiliates and business partners or authorized dealers.
Solicitations may take the form of mailings via U.S. mail or other couriers,
or e-mail (if provided). If you do not want to receive these solicitations
from us using the personal information provided by you through product
registration cards or other sources, you may specify this during registration
where and if indicated, you may unsubscribe to e-mail, or you may notify
the individuals who handle database information at the end of this policy.
Owner Surveys & Exclusive
Owner Benefits.
Owner-satisfaction surveys which are forwarded to new boat owners from
information provided through product registration are important to determine
your requirements for any assistance with our products and to be able
to determine your present and future needs. Any information provided through
the survey is completely voluntary. Accordingly, if you request that your
contact information provided to Triton companies be removed from marketing
solicitations, you must specify that this includes surveys and/or other
exclusive owner benefit packages. Otherwise, new boat owners will continue
receive any applicable exclusive owner benefit packages and product survey(s),
which may provide extended warranty benefits upon completion.
Product
Registration Information Use.
By purchasing a product, submitting a product registration card or permitting
it to be submitted, you agree to the following provisions: Triton may
collect, maintain, and disclose your name, address, phone number and any
other contact information about you required on the product registration
card to our employees, affiliates, dealers, and marketing agencies. This
information will be shared with third-party advertising agencies in order
to maintain our companies’ databases and business processes (provided
that such third parties are similarly restricted in their use of the information).
This information is collected for the following reasons:
• to provide product notifications
from Triton or as required by the Federal Boat Safety Act or other applicable
laws;
• to provide exclusive owner benefits;
• to conduct product surveys to determine
any current need with your purchase and future preferences;
• to offer products & services,
and marketing solicitations, including contests, promotions, or discounts;
• to comply with any requirement of
law or request of a governmental authority
Site Sales, Ordering, Event
Registration, and Related Processes.
This section is meant as a general description of our practices. It does
not impose any duty upon us and it does not constitute a representation
or warranty by us upon which you may rely.
Credit Card Application
Site.
We may keep a record of your personal information, including correspondence
or comments, in the applicable file specific to you. We will utilize,
disclose, or retain your personal information for as long as necessary
to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and for legal or business
requirements. We will establish minimum and maximum retention periods
and procedures for maintaining and destroying your personal information.
Credit Card Applications.
The Triton credit card is offered and administered by HSBC Bank Nevada,
N.A. (HSBC). You are on HSBC's web site throughout the application process
and HSBC's Privacy Statement, and Web Site Terms and Conditions apply.
HSBC may be contacted by calling 1-800-365-3804
Branded Merchandise Sites.
In some instances, we will make available through the Site, an indivisible
linked site of a third party vendor to sell certain products and services,
including the branded merchandise sold by a third party vendor. Although
it may appear that you are on our Site when you request such products
and services, your information goes directly to the third party vendor
for the purpose of fulfilling your order or request and is not received
by Triton.
Credit Card Information
for Branded Merchandise.
If you send confidential personal credit card information as part of your
ordering process to our vendor’s site, it is encrypted and securely
relayed to a third party credit card processor, who subsequently sends
an authorization code back to the Site. Your confidential personal credit
card information is not received, stored or otherwise retained by Triton
in any way.
Merchandise Licensee.
The branded merchandise sold on this Site is sold by Triton’s licensee,
Anheuser Marketing. Please contact Charles Woodward, Anheuser Marketing,
1801 Royal Lane #912, Dallas, TX 75229 (phone), 972-239-00744, or by e-mail
at charlesw@anheusermarketing for information regarding products, delivery,
and returns.
Order Forms.
When and if you order brochures or services using a site or register for
an event, Triton or a third party vendor selling our branded merchandise
will request information from you using an order form. When we already
have information about you (such as through a previous order, survey,
or registration, whether received through a site or otherwise), we may
use such information to facilitate the order or registration process.
When using an order form, you must provide contact information (such as
name and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card
number and expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes
and to fill your order. If Triton or its third party vendor selling our
branded merchandise have trouble processing an order, this contact information
could be used to contact you.
Shipping of Merchandise.
Triton, or its third party vendors selling Triton-branded merchandise
on linked sites to the Triton site, may use outside shipping or other
outsourcing providers to process and ship orders or perform other functions.
We use commercially reasonable diligence to restrict the purposes for
which these outsourcing providers may use your personal information. The
requirements or requests that we impose on such outsourcing providers
vary with the sensitivity of the information and can, but do not necessarily,
include requirements that these outsourcing providers not retain, share,
store, or use personal information for any secondary purposes, except
for backup and recovery operations. Although we use good faith efforts
to impose, and/or ensure compliance by our outsourcing providers, we cannot,
and will not, be responsible to users for misuse of personal information
by such outsourcing providers.
Tell-A-Friend
We may offer a referral service that allows you to inform your friends
and other acquaintances about content on the site or to forward information
to them. If you elect to use such a referral service, the following provisions
will apply:
• We will collect the friend’s e-mail address and use
it to send a one-time e-mail inviting the friend tovisit internet sites
or providing the information you requested.
• We will store this contact information for the sole purpose
of sending the one-time e-mail.
• When you use this service, you represent and warrant to
us that you have an existing business or personal relationship with the
friend or acquaintance sufficient to avoid liability under any law that
applies to unsolicited e-mail.
• You will be the sender of any such e-mail and we will merely
be a service provider facilitating your sending of the e-mail.

regulates online collection of information from persons under the age
of 13. It is our policy to refrain from knowingly collecting or maintaining

Cookies.
Definition of Cookies.
Similar to other commercial Web sites, a technology called “cookies”
may be used to provide you with tailored information. A cookie is a small
piece of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then
be stored on your hard drive so we can recognize you when you return.
A cookie can contain information about you, your computer, your browser,
your session, the websites you visit, and other information about you
or others who use, or have used, the computer or browser you use to access
the Internet. The goal is to save you time and provide a more meaningful
visit.
Link with Personal Information.
The cookies we use, if any, are not linked to any personal information
while using a site unless you have given us permission to link personal
information to one or more cookies. You give us that permission any time
you register on a site, place an order through a site, or identify yourself
or the computer you are using through a site. When this permission is
given, the cookies we use may link your personally identifiable information
with the pages on our sites that you visit.
Notification & Rejection
of Cookies.
You may be able to set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie.
Most or all browsers permit you to disable or reject cookies. You can
do this by setting the preferences in the browser. If you set the browser
to reject cookies, you can use the sites, but you may not be able to use
the full functionality of one or more of the sites or it may take additional
time to utilize such functionality. Use the “help” feature
of your browser to obtain more information about refusing cookies. As
of the time we wrote this privacy policy, there was information about
how to disable cookies at the following websites. We do not operate either
of these websites and we make no representation or warranty about the
information contained in the websites to which these links will take you.

http://wp.netscape.com/legal_notices/cookies.html
Third-Party Use of Cookies.
One or more of the organizations with which we do business, or to which
we provide links from a site, may also use cookies. We have no control
over such organizations’ uses of cookies and users should review
the privacy policies of such organizations to determine the uses such
organizations make of cookies.
Exceptions.
Notwithstanding anything else in this privacy policy to the contrary,
we may collect personal information and use such information in ways other
than those described above if we are required to do so by law or if we
deem it advisable in the course of assisting law enforcement activities
or protecting our site(s) or other property.
Links to Other Web Sites.
When you use a link to go from our Site to another Web site, our Privacy
Policy is no longer in effect. We do not operate those websites and we
cannot control the information that the operators of such websites gather
or what the operators of such websites do with the information. We are
not responsible for the privacy practices employed by Web sites linked
to or from our Site nor for the information or content contained therein.
Security.
Where we collect nonpublic personal information from you, we or one or
more of our service providers use industry-standard encryption and security
standards to protect such information. You can tell whether encryption
is being used by noting the “locked” or other status indicator
on the browser you are using. If the browser you are using does not indicate
that the session is secure (e.g. by displaying a lock, a key or another
icon), you should assume that the connection is not secure and that third
parties could intercept the information shared by you and us during that
part of the session.
We also use commercially reasonable efforts to protect user information
offline. All sensitive user information is maintained in our offices or
at the facilities of our information technology provider(s). We cause
access to servers and connections to be limited by key or other access.
Only employees or agents who need the information to perform specific
functions are granted access to personal information. We use reasonable
efforts to assure that our employees and agents are informed of our security
and privacy practices.
ACCESS, CORRECT, OR REMOVE
PERSONAL INFORMATION.
Your personal information is located at our company and with our primary
marketing agency, who has contractually agreed to protect your personal
information according to our privacy policies. You can withdraw consent
for us to send you marketing materials at any time. It may be impractical
for us in some circumstances to prevent an authorized dealer or affiliate
to whom we have supplied your information from continuing to use the information
and opting out may not stop them from contacting you. You will need to
contact them directly to opt out of any further use of your information.
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to timely make any changes
you request. Such compliance may involve batch processing and other processes
that take 30 days or longer. If you require an immediate change to your
personal information and are unable to make such a change using the available
site resources, please contact us. If you opt not to receive such communications
or allow us to share your information and then give your personal information
to us again using a site or under other circumstances that permit us to
use your information, we will regard your opt-out as rescinded.
Please direct corrections, withdrawals of consent, complaints or other
inquiries regarding personal information to:
