PRIVACY POLICY

I. General

Use. The Canaveral Port Authority (“CPA”) values your privacy and provides this Privacy Policy to notify the user (“you” or “your”) of the information we collect on this website (www.portcanaveral.com), if any, and how such information may be used. By using the information, services, and products available through this website, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy as set forth herein.

Updates to this Policy. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time without notice to you. It is your responsibility to review it from time to time to be aware of any such change. Your continued use of this website will indicate your agreement to any such change.

Third Party Websites. Please note that the CPA is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of websites whose contents are not controlled by CPA, whether CPA links to them as “outside sites” or not.

II. Public Records

Florida has a very broad public records law. As a result, any written communication created or received by CPA officials and employees will be made available to the public and media, upon request, unless otherwise exempt. Furthermore, under Florida law, e-mail addresses are public records. If you do not want your e-mail address released in response to a public records request, do not send electronic mail to this entity. Instead, contact our office by phone or in writing.

III. Collection of Personal Information

When you engage in activities on this website, you may be asked to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities.

Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity online. Instead, you will need to use a non-web option for transacting that business with the CPA.

IV. How Your Personal Information is Used

The CPA only collects information you voluntarily submit in order to record and support your participation in the activities you select. For example, information you provide to the CPA may be used to help you obtain building permits, inspection requests, etc.

V. Protection of Your Personal Information

The CPA recognizes and appreciates the importance of responsible use of information collected on this website. Information may be saved for a designated period of time in order to comply with the State of Florida's archiving policies. However, information will not be disclosed to third parties or other government agencies, unless required by state or federal law.

VI. Use of Cookies

When you visit the CPA’s website, you can surf the site anonymously and access information without revealing your identity. In order to improve our website, we may use “cookies” to assist your visit. A cookie is small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It can function as your identification card, recording your passwords, purchases, and preferences. However, it cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses.

Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it.

VII. Security

Data transmission over the Internet is not guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, the CPA cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to us or received from our online products or services. Once we receive a transmission, we make our best effort to ensure it is secure on our systems.

VIII. Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for all charges associated with connecting to the Internet. You agree that any telephone or other communications fees and charges incurred are your sole responsibility. The access number you use may not be a local phone call (even though it may be in the same area code as your phone number) and you may be subject to long distance fees or other charges. We advise you to check the local telephone service to verify whether your access number is a local charge and if additional communication fees may apply.

IX. Prohibited Uses

As a user of the CPA’s website you agree to use this service only for its lawful, intended purposes. Use of this service for transmission, distribution, retrieval, or storage of any information, data, or other material in violation of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited. You also agree not to use the service to:

a. Provide false information or to impersonate someone else;

b. Distribute computer viruses, worms, or any software intended to damage or alter a computer system; or,

c. Violate any applicable local, state, national or international law.

X. System and Network Security

Violations of system or network security of the service are prohibited, and may subject you to criminal and/or civil liability. The CPA will investigate potential security violations, and may notify applicable law enforcement agencies if violations are suspected.

You may not attempt to circumvent the authentication procedures or security of any host, network, network component, or account to access data, accounts, or systems that you are not expressly permitted to access. You may not interfere or attempt to interfere with service to any other user.

XI. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold the CPA and its subsidiaries, affiliates, telecommunications providers, service providers, commissioners, officers, employees, and agents harmless from any claim, liability, loss, expense or demand, including attorneys’ fees, in the event of your violation of the terms and conditions or the use of the services and information provided at this website.

IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THIS WEBSITE, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE TO STOP USING THIS WEBSITE.

XIII. Jurisdiction

This Privacy Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. You also consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Brevard County, Florida, and you further consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of the courts therein.

The section titles in this Privacy Policy are solely used for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance. If any provision(s) of this Privacy Policy is found to be contrary to law, then such provision(s) shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties with the other provisions remaining in full force and effect. You may not assign this agreement to any other party.

The CPA's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Privacy Policy shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by CPA in writing. You and CPA agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to this Privacy Policy or the service must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
