Privacy Policy (PACR)

Privacy Policy

Over the years 15+ years, Paradise Adventures Costa Rica has provided thrill seekers and Adrenalin junkies from all over the world with a variety of experiences they will never forget. In those years, we have never disrespected the privacy of our users or respected their rights. What follows is PACR’s online privacy policy, which governs personal information gathered on our Website.

PACR’s Online Security
Physical, electronic, and managerial procedures have been employed to safeguard the security and integrity of personal information. PACR encrypts billing information wherever it requests it. All PACR agents with access to personal information obtained on PACR’s website are bound to adhere to this policy.

Personal Information that PACR May Collect Online
PACR collects information online, including names, postal and e-mail addresses, phone and facsimile numbers, and billing and complaint information.
PACR does not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from children under 13; no part of our site is designed to attract children under 13.

How PACR Uses Personal Information Collected Online
Unless you otherwise consent, we will use your personal information only for the purpose for which it is submitted to reply to your emails, handle your complaints, and process billing. At specific points where personal information is collected on our site, there may be a box indicating you would like to be on a mailing list to receive information about other PACR events and services and ways to support PACR and their Costa Rica wakesports mission.

How Your Information May Be Shared
To process a complaint, PACR may send the complaint to the CEO; all complaints are handled directly by the Owner-Operator of PACR. When we receive a request or inquiry, we forward it to the appropriate area. Completing a complaint form or sending us a request or inquiry allows us to forward your information to the appropriate representative. Customer inquiries will be sent to the appropriate representative by email, and consumers should recognize that this method of transmission may not be secure. Without submission of the requested information, PACR will not be able to process your complaint.
We never sell or rent your personal information.

Computer Tracking and Cookies
Our Websites are not set up to track, collect, or distribute personal information not entered by visitors. However, our site logs generate certain kinds of non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our sites. Technical support staff use this information for internal purposes to provide better services to the public, which may also be provided to others. Again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.
A cookie is a small amount of data sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. PACR uses non-identifying cookies to provide more straightforward site navigation and access to forms. You can still use PACR’s site if your browser is set to reject cookies. Our cookies do not generate personal data, do not read personal data from your machine, and are never tied to anything that could be used to identify you.
