Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the Port of Oakland websites (“Port of Oakland,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. We provide this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to help you (“you,” “your,” or “User”) understand how we collect, use, protect, and disclose information and data when you use the Port of Oakland websites (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy also explains how you can manage the use of certain information we collect. By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Website, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It

We collect different types of information from and about Users of the Website, including information by which you may be personally identified (“Personal Information”). For example, certain features of the Website may offer you the option of registering an account, and we collect Personal Information from Users that choose to create an account on the Website, such as the User’s email address. If you create an account using your credentials from a third-party social media site, we will have access to certain information from that site, such as your name, profile, and account information, in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by such third-party social media site. We additionally collect other information that Users volunteer, such as through contact forms and surveys, including the User’s name, email address, home phone number, cellular phone number, address, employer name, driver’s license number, and birth date, as well as the name, phone number, address, and email address of your job references.

We also collect information that is about you but individually does not identify you, such as which webpages you access or visit, the length of time you spend on the Website, and your IP address, operating system, and browser.

Cookies and Anonymous Identifiers

We use cookies, which is a small text file placed on the hard drive of your computer to identify your computer and web browser, and to analyze and improve the Website. For example, we use cookies to record information regarding your use of the Website, such as what pages you access or visit.

The Website uses Google Analytics, a third party that collects and processes data. Information about how Google Analytics collects and processes data can be found here: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

How We Use the Information We Collect

We use the information we collect, including Personal Information, to improve the content of the Website and to send information to Users that opt into our newsletter or email mailing lists.

Additionally, we disclose the information we collect, including Personal Information, when required to do so by law, or in response to a subpoena or court order, or when we believe in our sole discretion that disclosure is necessary to protect our property or rights, or those of third parties.

If Port of Oakland is merged, acquired, or sold, or in the event of a transfer of some or all of our assets, we may disclose or transfer Personal Information in connection with such transaction. Other than to the extent ordered by a court, the use and disclosure of all transferred Personal Information will be subject to this Privacy Policy, or to a new privacy policy if you are given notice of that new privacy policy and are given an opportunity to opt out of it. Personal Information submitted or collected after a transfer, however, may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor organization.

Opt Out Options

If you wish to opt out of receiving emails from us, you can unsubscribe via an unsubscribe option located in our emails. If you wish to stop receiving direct mail related to the Airport, please contact Aviation Marketing and Communications by calling them at (510) 563-3300 or sending a letter to 1 Airport Drive, Oakland, CA 94621.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We have security measures in place in our facilities to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we have collected from you through the Website. However, please be aware that no data transmission over the Internet or other network can be guaranteed to be completely secure and, as such, we do not guarantee the security of any information you transmit on or through the Website. You transmit information through the Website at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

Do Not Track

Some web browsers have “Do Not Track” or similar features that allow you to tell each website you visit that you do not want your activities on that website tracked. At present, we do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals and consequently, we will continue to collect information about you even if your browser’s “Do Not Track” feature is activated.

Children

The Website is not intended for, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from, children under 13 years of age. If you are under 13, do not use or provide any information on the Website or on or through any of its features, register on the Website, or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any student identification number. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information without parental consent, we will take steps to remove such information and terminate the child’s account

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may change or update this Privacy Policy, and will post the changes to the Website to notify you. We encourage you to visit this page periodically to remain informed of any changes. If you continue to use the Website after those changes are in effect, you agree to the revised Privacy Policy. If the changes are significant, we may provide more prominent notice or get your consent as required by law.
