Privacy Policy

At Old Man’s, we understand the importance of privacy and we will always strive to protect your privacy and preserve the trust you place in us. We only collect and retain as much information as is absolutely necessary for us to provide you with our service, and whenever possible we disassociate any personally identifiable information from the data we retain. We will only share user data with 3rd parties if we are obligated to by law, or to the extent that it directly contributes to the services we provide (and with the proper precautions to protect personal information).

This Privacy Policy explains our policy regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and transfer of certain information, including your personal information, by The iAdherence Company and its affiliates (“Old Man’s”) through your use of the OldManWaves.com website (the “Website”) as well as the Old Man’s iOS and Android applications (the “Applications,” and, collectively with the Website, the “Service”) you accept and agree to our information practices described below.

Collection of Information

User Provided Information

We collect information you provide to us. Example may include:

  • the location you provide when requesting a forecast

  • the contact information you provide when contacting us for support.

Automatically Collected Information

We also collect information regarding you and your interactions with us, your use of the Service, as well as information regarding your computer or other device used to access the Service. This information may include:

  • your activity on the Service;

  • the type of device you use, the IP address of your device, your operating system, and the details concerning the Internet browsers you use;

  • your current location for use in forecasts, surf reports and notifications;

  • your device ID if notifications are enabled;

The Website might use cookies to enable the functionality and improve the ease of use of the Service. Some of our third party analytics and advertising providers may also use cookies.

Use of Information

We use the information we collect to provide, analyze, administer, enhance, and personalize the Service for you and others. For example, we may use the information we collect for purposes such as:

  • providing surf conditions and forecasts;

  • sending surf notifications per your request;

  • debugging errors in the Service; and

  • improving the functionality of the Service.

We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide our services. Specifically, we retain the following information:

  • only your most recent location and associated device ID if you have notifications enabled;

  • anonymous locations and surf details you select;

  • all support related communications.

Disclosure of Information

We may disclose information in the following ways:

  • as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process;

  • when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others,

  • investigate fraud, or respond to a government request;

  • if Old Man’s is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets;

  • to trusted third parties for use in surf research or to improve the Service as described in the section below;

  • to third party analytics companies, such as Google Analytics, as described in the section below; and

  • to third party advertisers as described in the section below.

Third Party Analytics

We may provide anonymous data to third party analytics companies to help us understand how the Service is being used to help us make improvements.

Third Party Advertisers

We work with advertisers and third party advertising networks, who need to know how you interact with advertising provided on Old Man’s.

Trusted Third Parties

We may work with trusted third parties to conduct research or to improve, enhance, alter, or expand our services. These trusted third parties have agreed to abide by the terms of this Privacy Policy. Any public disclosure of the work performed by these trusted third parties will be anonymized.

Opt-out

You can stop all collection of information by the Service by uninstalling the Applications and ceasing all use of the Website. Because we anonymize the majority of the data we collect, it is simply not possible to associate the information collected with a particular user and as such, we do not offer any means to delete previously collected information.

You can opt-out of the collection of certain information as follows:

  • Disable notifications in the Application to stop the Application from collecting your location data while the Application is active.

California Do Not Track Disclosures

Some browsers can transmit a “do not track” signal or other similar mechanisms. Unfortunately, there is not yet an adopted standard for how to respond to these signals, so we currently ignore them.

Security

We are concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your information. We provide physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect information we process and maintain. For example, we limit access to this information to authorized employees and contractors who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve the Service. Please be aware that, although we endeavor to provide reasonable security, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches.

This Privacy Policy is intended to cover collection of information from residents of the United States. If you are accessing the Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. Please be assured that we seek to take reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy is protected. By using the Services, you understand that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy.

Effective Date & Changes

This Privacy Policy is effective June 16, 2019.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time for any reason. We will notify you of any changes to our Privacy Policy by posting the new Privacy Policy here. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes, as continued use is deemed approval of all changes.
