How we collect and use personal information
Registering for membership on pleasanthillrec.com gives you access to all the site’s information and features. The only information required is your name, e-mail address, country, and ZIP/postal code. With your approval, we occasionally will send e-mail to notify you about important changes to the site, new services, and special offers from us. If you would rather not receive these e-mail notifications, you can simply indicate that preference either when you register or at any time you modify your account. In addition to receiving e-mail announcements, you can also sign up for daily and weekly e-mail services that provide you with news about upcoming classes and activities. We may also use the individually-identifiable information you provide as we would use the same information obtained off-line - for example, to evaluate your service needs.

If you enter a contest or respond to a promotion, we may ask for your postal address so we can notify contest winners and deliver promotional goodies. When you enter this information, we will save it in your member profile so that you won’t have to enter it again. We occasionally may also send you postal mail to notify you about important changes to the site, new services, and special offers from us. If you would rather not receive such information via postal mail, you can indicate this when you enter your address or you can modify your account at any time to indicate your preference.

Our Free Product Info service lets you sign up to receive e-mail class and activity announcements. You can add or remove class and activity information topics from your personal list at any time on your Info page.

How we help to protect your personal information
All personal data you enter on pleasanthillrec.com is encrypted with secure server software (SSL) that encodes the information before your Web browser software sends it to us. The secure server software decodes the data only after it reaches our server, meaning hackers usually can’t snatch any of your personal information while it is in transit. Once the data reaches our site, the same security software helps to protect your personal data as well. While no website can protect itself against all eventualities, we will make reasonable effort to protect any personal information you give us.

We strive to make sure that we use any information you provide us only in ways you have approved, unless otherwise set forth in this policy statement, as required by law, or if disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of persons or property. We send you only the e-mail you have approved in your account information or on your e-mail subscription signup page. When you sign up for Free Product Info, Postmaster Direct distributes all the announcement e-mails you request directly without ever releasing your e-mail address to a third party.

You should be aware that the Pleasant Hill Recreation and Park District, owner of pleasanthillrec.com, is a governmental entity. As a governmental entity, we are governed by California open records laws. It's important for you to understand that most business you conduct with the District can result in the creation of disclosable public records.
