Privacy is important for all of us. We at the USS John W. Thomason Association consider our member's and your privacy to be very important. Here is an explanation of what information is gathered when you visit our web site:
- Our site is hosted on a shared server provided by Lunarpages.com As is typical for hosting services a record is kept of the individual pages you view, the time and date you view the pages, and the IP number that your computer appears to be using. The data collected is used to track the popularity of specific pages and to help us improve our web site. This information is only available to the site webmaster and the technical support staff at Lunarpages.com
- Our Ship's Log page collects the e-mail address you provide along with the comments you type in. All comments submitted to our Ship's Log are screened for content and appropriateness before being made public. We use a "Capcha" system with our Ship's Log to reduce SPAM.
- At times we have a Reunion Registration page. The Reunion Registration page collects and records specific information needed to process a shipmate's registration for an upcoming reunion.
