Cookies

The Gel Blaster Association makes use of cookies on the Internet. A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on the hard disk of a user’s computer so that the website can remember that user. Without cookies, websites and their servers have no memory. This means that every time a user opens a new webpage on a website, the server where that webpage is stored will treat the user as new and require logon and password. In short, a cookie facilitates a user’s passage through a website.

Security

Your personal information may be stored in hard copy documents or electronically.  The Gel Blaster Association is committed to keeping your personal information secure and safe. Some of the ways we do this are:

• Secure hard copy document storage (i.e. storing hard copy documents in locked filing cabinets).
• Security measures for access to our computer systems.
• Providing a discreet environment for confidential discussions.
• Security measures for our websites (see the Your Privacy on the Internet section for more information).
• Anti-spam, anti-virus and anti-malware software

We will review and update our security measures from time to time. In addition, we will review the personal information and sensitive information held by us from time to time, ensuring that information which is no longer needed for a purpose for which it was initially collected is destroyed or de-identified.

This Service may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by us. Therefore, we strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
