In general, you can visit PuertoRicoDayTrips.com without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. PuertoRicoDayTrips.com uses this information to measure the use of our sites and to improve the content of our site. Also, when abuse is detected, IP addresses may be collected for the purpose of site security.

At the time of registration, you will be required to provide your name and email address. Members who access restricted areas will provide a user name and password for that access.

Use of our Discussion Forums

This policy explains in detail how "PuertoRicoDayTrips Travel Forums" along with its affiliated companies (hereinafter "we", "us", "our", "PuertoRicoDayTrips Travel Forums", "http://www.puertoricodaytrips.com/forum") and phpBB (hereinafter "they", "them", "their", "phpBB software", "www.phpbb.com", "phpBB Group", "phpBB Teams") use any information collected during any session of usage by you (hereinafter "your information").

Your information is collected via two ways. Firstly, by browsing "PuertoRicoDayTrips Travel Forums" will cause the phpBB software to create a number of cookies, which are small text files that are downloaded on to your computer’s web browser temporary files. The first two cookies just contain a user identifier (hereinafter "user-id") and an anonymous session identifier (hereinafter "session-id"), automatically assigned to you by the phpBB software. A third cookie will be created once you have browsed topics within "PuertoRicoDayTrips Travel Forums" and is used to store which topics have been read, thereby improving your user experience.

We may also create cookies external to the phpBB software whilst browsing "PuertoRicoDayTrips Travel Forums", though these are outside the scope of this document which is intended to only cover the pages created by the phpBB software. The second way in which we collect your information is by what you submit to us. This can be, and is not limited to: posting as an anonymous user (hereinafter "anonymous posts"), registering on "PuertoRicoDayTrips Travel Forums" (hereinafter "your account") and posts submitted by you after registration and whilst logged in (hereinafter "your posts").

Your account will at a bare minimum contain a uniquely identifiable name (hereinafter "your user name"), a personal password used for logging into your account (hereinafter "your password”) and a personal, valid e-mail address (hereinafter "your e-mail").

In all cases, you have the option of what information in your account is publicly displayed. Furthermore, within your account, you have the option to opt-in or opt-out of automatically generated e-mails from the phpBB software.

Your password is ciphered (a one-way hash) so that it is secure. However, it is recommended that you do not reuse the same password across a number of different websites. Your password is the means of accessing your account at "PuertoRicoDayTrips Travel Forums", so please guard it carefully and under no circumstance will anyone affiliated with "PuertoRicoDayTrips Travel Forums", phpBB or another 3rd party, legitimately ask you for your password. Should you forget your password for your account, you can use the "I forgot my password" feature provided by the phpBB software. This process will ask you to submit your user name and your e-mail, then the phpBB software will generate a new password to reclaim your account.
