This privacy policy sets out how United Sunshine States Portuguese Water Dog Club, Inc (USSPWDC) uses and protects the information that you input when you visit our website www.usspwdc.org. We are committed to ensure that your privacy is protected.
What information we collect
The purpose of the USSPWDC website is to share information, join/renew membership, event registration and contact us for questions. We utilize a number of different embedded web forms (e.g., event registration, membership join/renew, contact-us) created on the platform Jotform, all of which collect personal data from our visitors. These forms collect name, email address, phone number, and additional information specific to the event or question (contact us). Feedback forms containing the data are e-mailed to the site visitor and specified USSPWDC chairpersons. We utilize Constant Contact as an email platform to communicate with members. Email addresses are input from the Membership join/renewal form into Constant Contact by the Membership Chairperson. Paypal Standard Integration is used for customers to pay for membership or event registration and collects personal data such as the payor name, email address and transaction id. Jotform, Constant Contact and Paypal each have their own privacy policies and do not share our information.
We collect some information automatically from visitors to the site through the use of “cookies.” Cookies are set not to record a visitor’s personal details.

The event results are also transmitted to the PWDCA following the event. The data is retained for a minimum of one year then archived or deleted.
