The Dolfin Parent Club keeps team member information for team use. Team rosters, pictures, swimmers' times, swimmer and parent contact information, parent volunteer assignment preferences and work history data are kept. A key use of this information is to allow communication between team members and coaches and to enhance team members' experience.  This information also allows team officials to schedule volunteer workers at our meets.  Collected data will not be shared with others for other purposes. Especially, this information will not be sold.

Dolfin information is kept private in the Dolfin Team Area of the Dolfin web site. Access to the Team Area is controlled by user IDs and passwords. Users are assigned permissions based on their roles on the team, such as parent, swimmer, coach, work scheduler, etc.. Roles determine the information the user can see and functions the user can perform. For example, coaches can't schedule workers.  These measures ensure that access to team information blocked to those outside the team and limited to team members.

The Dolfin Team Area uses browser "cookies". Cookies are bits of information stored on your computer by a web site that are sent to the web site with each page you request. Cookies are a commonly used browser feature that could be misused by a web site. If the web site has personal information, the web site might store that information in cookies on your computer. Then, when you visit other web sites, these other web sites might collect and misuse this information.

The Dolfin Team Area does NOT store any meaningful personal information on your computer. This includes, but is not limited to, your name, address, phone number(s) and email ID(s). None of this information is stored on your PC. Instead, a number is assigned to your session when you sign in to keep track of your sign in session. This number is stored as a cookie on your computer. The session ID only has meaning to the Dolfin Team Area web site. It is meaningless and useless to any other web site. The cookie is removed when you sign out. If you do not sign out, the Dolfin Team Area will remove all references to the session ID after about 20 minutes after your last page request in the Dolfin team Area.

The Dolfin Team Area will store another user number on your computer, if you request it. When signing in, you may indicate that you wish to be automatically signed in whenever you return to the Dolfin team Area. In this case, for privacy and security, your User ID and Password are not stored as cookies. Instead, a user number is stored. This user number is meaningless and useless to other web sites.

Obviously, for security, you should not use the automatic sign in feature if you are using a computer that is used by non-team members (such as at a school, library or café). The automatic sign in feature is intended for Team Members’ use on their home computers.
