What information we collect, use, and share:

Additionally, as you browse the site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the site, and information about how you interact with the site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
Registration
In order to use this website, a user must first register. During registration a user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to ship an order, send entries, etc. Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

To buy from us, you must provide contact information (like name and billing address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we'll use this information to contact you.
Cookies
We use "cookies" on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor's hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to login a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site. Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Meet Results
Swim meet result data is obtained from organizations that sanction the swim meets or from organizations that host or participate in the swim meets, and the data is publicly available. In order to sort or organize the data we obtain, we may ask these providers of swim meet results to also provide personal information about the swimmers including name, sex, and date of birth. We will use this information to enter swimmers accurately and create reports for private use and use by the meet host. FastSwims discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on FastSwims’s behalf or to provide services available at FastSwims’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using FastSwims’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. FastSwims will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, FastSwims discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when FastSwims believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of FastSwims, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of https://www.fastswims.com and have supplied your email address, FastSwims may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with FastSwims and our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. FastSwims takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information. We may share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
