Privacy Statement

October 31, 2019

The sole purpose of the 3830scores.com web site is to provide a means for licensed amateur radio operators to post and publicly share information about their performance/experience in amateur (ham) radio contests in which they participate. To do so, users are required to provide their amateur radio call sign and e-mail address. No other personal information is required.

Postings to the site can only be accomplished by completing the required fields on a web form specifically designed to collect the information about the poster's contesting performance/experience that may be of interest to other contesters. Individual submittals are saved in a database so that posting summaries can be compiled and displayed on the site, and a copy of the posting is emailed to the 3830@contesting.com subscriber mailing list, managed and maintained by contesting.com. No other means of posting to the site is available. Access to the database contents is only available through the site's public web pages, except for maintenance activities by the site's owner. The database contains a history of postings from 2002 until the present.

Although the user's IP address is collected and associated with a posting to provide a way to identify potentially fraudulent postings, it is not publicly disclosed. No tracking cookies are employed by the site. However, users have the option of saving certain information that does not change from contest to contest in an HTML cookie. This cookie's contents are only used to prefill some of the fields on the posting web form.

As described in the site FAQ, users may request changes/corrections/deletion of previously submitted information.

The site uses Google Analytics services to track and report web site traffic. Users can opt out of having their activity reported to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

3830scores.com is exclusively owned and operated by Bruce Horn, WA7BNM, who can be contacted at bhorn@hornucopia.com with any questions regarding this privacy statement or site practices. The site owner reserves the right to make changes to this privacy statement at any time.
