Protecting your privacy is important to us. This page explains how the personal information we collect through this website (https://www.mtsthelensclub.org/) will be treated.



Who are we?



We are Mt. St. Helens Club, a nonprofit corporation in the state of Washington. Our club was founded in 1930 and incorporated in 1936. We organize active adventures in southwest Washington and northwest Oregon.



What information do we store?



We store user input data sent through the contact forms on this website. We may also store meta information about the submissions, including the time stamp, the origin IP address, and the user agent (browser). Also, third party services may collect information about website visitors. We currently use Google Analytics on this website.



Where does the information go?



We use the Contact Form 7 plugin to manage contact form submissions. The information is sent as email messages that only a select few are allowed to access. The information may also be stored in the database on our hosting server for backup and later reference purposes. We may use the Flamingo plugin to safely manage this data. Bluehost hosts this website.



How long do we keep the information?



We don’t set a particular time limit on storing information because we may need to reference it again in the future. If you want your information to be removed from our database, please contact us. We will determine if we have any information stored about you, and if so, will remove it.



Do we share the information with other parties?



No. But we do use some WordPress plugins on this website that may pass data, including personal information, to external servers to process, such as Akismet Anti-Spam or Jetpack by WordPress.com. We only use WordPress plugins and themes that are hosted by WordPress.org. WordPress.org’s guidelines prohibit tracking users without their explicit informed consent.
