JAXPORT’S ONLINE COMMENTS POLICY

We welcome you and your comments at JAXPORT. At every monthly Board Meeting, we offer everyone the opportunity to present their comments. In addition, JAXPORT’s online properties offer you the opportunity to make comments about various published port topics.

JAXPORT’s online properties are designed to present information about shipping through the Port of Jacksonville. We encourage you to submit your questions, comments, and concerns, but please note each JAXPORT blog site constitutes a moderated, limited public forum, and comments submitted by members of the public must be directly related to the published content.

Once posted, JAXPORT reserves the right to delete submissions that contain vulgar language, personal attacks of any kind, or offensive comments that target or disparage any ethnic, racial, or religious group. JAXPORT reserves the right to block commenters that repeatedly violate this policy. JAXPORT also reserves the right to delete comments that are:

• spam or include links to other sites;
• clearly off topic;
• egregiously erroneous;
• advocate illegal activity;
• promote particular services, products, or political organizations;
• infringe on copyrights or trademarks; or
• use personally identifiable medical information.

JAXPORT moderators shall allow comments that are topically related to the particular article being commented and thus within the purpose of the limited public forum, with the exception of the prohibited content listed above.

Please also note that as an independent government agency chartered by the State of Florida, JAXPORT adheres to the state’s open government laws. Accordingly, any written communication sent to JAXPORT may become public record.

JAXPORT’S PRIVACY POLICY

This privacy policy is only for information collected by the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) through its website jaxport.com.

This website collects and retains two kinds of information about site visitors: 1) anonymous information that is collected automatically and does not identify any specific person, such as which pages on the site are visited and what web browser versions are being used to visit the site; and 2) information you voluntarily submit. Anonymous information that is collected is intended to help serve you better, such as making popular pages more easily accessible. JAXPORT’s website may use pixels, cookies and/or technologies from third party vendors to provide measurement services, target or retarget advertisements, protect against unauthorized access, and in limited cases, to associate your usage of our website with an associated email. Where applicable, we may contact you via such associated email address. To opt out of the collection and use of your information for advertising, please send an email to info@jaxport.com with the subject line “opt out of targeting” to exercise your choice.

Information you submit voluntarily, such as a newsletter subscription or form submission, is used in the administration and management of the organization and its programs. The Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) will not disclose personally identifiable information to third parties, other than by response to a public records request adhering to the laws of the State of Florida, or to JAXPORT’s service providers who are bound to use the information only to assist JAXPORT with its initiatives. You have the choice to opt out of the email newsletter by unsubscribing via the link at the bottom of a newsletter message.

In addition, we have taken commercially reasonable precautions to protect the information that is stored on the site. However, because security measures are not infallible, we cannot guarantee that electronically stored user information will never be stolen, hacked or viewed by unauthorized persons. We maintain notification procedures as part of our information security policy, to be used in the event of a data security breach. If such a breach occurs, we will notify you as soon as possible via the email address you have voluntarily provided to us.

This privacy policy may change in the future. If it does, we will notify you, using the email address you have voluntarily provided to us, about changes to the policy.

If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us.
