Safety

The Right Life Jacket for You

As temperatures rise and the season approaches, many of us plan new excursions on lakes, rivers, or the ocean for fishing, water skiing, boating, and relaxation on board a boat. But before setting off, you must ensure you have all the necessary safety equipment. And life jackets are one of the most important things to consider.

Safety

The Right Life Jacket for You

Alex Gasquet
April 8, 2024

With over 17 million recreational vessels in the United States, it’s no wonder that waterways are a popular destination. But before heading out with friends and family, remember the importance of having all the necessary safety equipment. One of the most important is the life jacket. But which one is right for me? Below, you can learn the differences between the various types of life jackets to choose the right one.

Life jackets save lives. The proof is in the numbers. It’s the equivalent of a car’s seatbelt. According to statistics from the U.S. Coast Guard, 84 percent of people who died in boating accidents were not wearing life jackets.

Life jackets keep you warm. When you fall into the water or float for a long time, it’s not just about being able to float but also about keeping warm in cold water. The right life jackets snugly wrap around the body, keeping the body temperature where it should be until help arrives.

Type I, Off-Shore Life Jacket

It provides the greatest buoyancy. It is effective for all waters, especially open, turbulent, or remote waters, where rescue may be delayed. It is designed to turn an unconscious person face up in the water to maintain their breathing ability.

A Type II, Near-Shore Buoyancy Vest

It is designed for calm inland waters or where there is a good chance of rapid rescue. This type of life jacket is for general boating activities. Type II jackets can turn an unconscious person face up in the water, but the rotation is not as fast and effective as Type I.

Type III Flotation Aid

It is efficient for users in calm, inland waters or anywhere there is a good chance of rapid rescue. The user must tilt their head back to stay face up. The Type III foam life jacket has the same minimum buoyancy as Type II. Type III flotation aids are designed for activities such as water skiing, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking.

Type IV Throwable Device

This device is designed for use anywhere. It is intended to be thrown to a person in the water and serves for the user to hold onto to stay afloat until rescued. Type IV devices include throwable cushions, ring buoys, and horseshoe buoys. The Coast Guard approves no Type IV inflatable devices.

Type V Special Use Device

It is designed for specific activities and can be used instead of another life jacket only if used according to its approved conditions, as shown on its label. A Type V can provide the performance of a Type I, II, or III interchangeably (as indicated on its label). Some Type V devices provide significant hypothermia protection. Special use devices include hybrid inflatable personal flotation devices, canoe/kayak vests, onboard sailing vests, deck suits, work vests for commercial vessels, commercial vests for whitewater, man-overboard rescue devices, and flotation devices for law enforcement.

A Type V Special Use Device with a safety harness is approved solely as a Type V special use device because its use to prevent falls overboard presents several risks. The U.S. Coast Guard has not assessed the potential for injuries when abruptly stopping a fall, and in the event of capsizing or sinking, the boat may knock the user overboard and cause death. Please do not attach the harness to the boat unless you are using it with a leash less than 6.5 feet long with quick-release hardware under load. Read the safety harness section of the owner’s manual for intended use.

Privacy Policy

This policy was last updated on March 21, 2022.

Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to all of the products, services, and websites offered by Ghids Media Corporation and its subsidiaries or affiliated companies (collectively, “Ghids Media”). We provide this notice explaining our privacy practices and the choices you can make about how your information is collected and used by Ghids Media Corporation.

Ghids Media has appointed a Data Protection Office to contact if you have any questions or concerns. The Data Protection Office contact information is as follows:

An overview of the information we may collect.

You can take advantage of many Bonnier products, services, and websites without providing any information that personally identifies you by name, address, or other personally-identifying information. We only collect personally-identifying information when you voluntarily submit it to us.

Sometimes, we need personally-identifying information to provide you with the products and services you request. Depending upon the product or service, we may ask you for various personally-identifying information. This might include, for example, your name, address, email address, telephone number, gender, and birth date. We may also ask for other information about you, such as your credit card information (when making a purchase), interests, income, or education level. We consider certain identifying information “sensitive.” This includes your credit card number, income level, or other information usually regarded as confidential. Some personal information will never be requested or collected, such as information on your race or ethnic origin, political opinions, trade union memberships, religious beliefs, health, sex life, or sexual orientation.

You may choose not to provide us with any personally-identifying information. In that case, you can still access and use many portions of our websites; however, you will not be able to access and use those portions of any Bonnier website that require your personal information.

Many Ghids Media websites include community features, such as online forums and message boards. The information posted in these areas becomes public information, and any third party’s use of this information is beyond our control. If you elect to submit content that includes information that can be used to identify you, you must assume that the content can and will be displayed on any website on the Internet.

Our properties may feature measurement software, which will allow you to contribute to market research.

We allow third-party companies to serve ads and/or collect certain information when you visit our website and directly in emails/communications. These companies may use information you have shared (e.g., click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over, email address) during your visits to this and other Web sites to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. Our partners use this information to recognize you across different channels and platforms over time for advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes; any information collected is stored in hashed or non-human-readable form. These companies typically use a cookie or third party web beacon to collect this information.

Ghids Media websites sometimes may offer contests, sweepstakes, or promotions sponsored by or co-sponsored with identified third parties. Under their sponsorship, these third parties may obtain personally-identifying information that visitors voluntarily submit to them to participate in the contest, sweepstakes, or promotion. B Ghids Media has no control over the third-party sponsors’ use of this information. If a third-party sponsor beyond our control will obtain information that you supply us, we will notify you when we collect the information from you. For specific promotions, only those who provide us with the requested personally-identifying information will be able to order products, programs, and services or otherwise participate in the promotion’s activities and offerings.

Some of our websites contain links to other sites. By clicking on these links, you will leave the website operated by Ghids Media and this Privacy Policy will no longer apply. These other sites’ information practices may be different than ours. You should consult the other sites’ privacy notices, as we have no control over information submitted to or collected by these third parties.

How we use the information we collect

We use the personally-identifying information you provide us to fulfill your requests for our products, programs, and services, respond to your inquiries about offerings, and offer you other products, programs, or services that we believe may be of interest to you. We sometimes use this information to communicate with you, such as to notify you when you have won one of our contests, make changes to subscriber agreements, fulfill a request by you for an online newsletter, or contact you about your account with us. We do not use your personal information to make automated decisions.

We may syndicate the publicly available content of our community areas to unaffiliated third-party websites using RSS or other technologies. The information you have shared in the community areas may be included in this syndication.

We will use the personally-identifying information that you provide about others in order to provide the products or services that you have requested; for example, to enable us to send them your gifts or cards. If you provide us someone else’s personally-identifying information for referral purposes, we may use that information to invite them to visit our websites or to provide them information about our products or services.

If you provide us with your email and/or postal address, we may include that address in email and/or postal address lists that we sell, trade, or rent to third parties. These lists will never contain sensitive information. If you do not wish for your email or postal address to be shared with companies not owned by Bonnier who want to market products or services to you, you have the opportunity to opt out, as described below. You may also opt out of the receipt of any marketing materials from Ghids Media as described below.

We may transfer your sensitive personally-identifying information to other Bonnier offices for internal management and administrative purposes. In addition, your personal data will be transferred to other Bonnier offices where necessary for the performance or conclusion of our contractual obligations to you or for your benefit. Transfers of personally-identifying information may also be made where necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. We do not transfer personal information internationally.

Ghids Media will only share your sensitive personal information with outside companies or individuals in any of the following limited circumstances:

When we use trusted businesses or persons to process personal information on our behalf. Before sharing any personal information with outside parties, we require that these parties agree to process such information based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

When we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure is necessary to:

comply with applicable law, regulation, or legal process;
enforce the applicable Terms of Service or other agreements and policies on the Company’s Websites;
detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues; or
protect against imminent harm to the rights, property, or safety or Ghids Media, its users, or the public as required or permitted by law.

When you consent. Before we share your sensitive personal information outside of the previously listed circumstances, we will ask you for permission first. Please note that this only applies to sensitive information, as defined above.

We may also use, transfer, sell, and share aggregated, anonymous data about our users for any legal purpose, such as analyzing usage trends and seeking compatible advertisers and partners. In no event will this aggregated data contain any information that could be used to identify individual users of our products or services.

How we protect the safety and integrity of the information we collect

We take appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural measures to safeguard and protect your personal information. We use a variety of security measures, including encryption and authentication, to maintain the confidentiality of your personal information. We store your personal information on systems behind firewalls that are only accessible to a limited number of persons, each of whom is required to keep the information confidential. We also take appropriate measures to secure the transmission of sensitive personal information from your computer to the Company’s computers.

When you transmit sensitive personal information to us, like credit card information, we offer the use of a secure connection to our servers. To the extent you select the secure connection method or your browser supports such functionality, all credit card account information that you supply is transmitted via secure encryption technology. Regardless of these measures, no system connected to the Internet or data transmission sent over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We will provide notice if we become aware of any security breach that may affect any sensitive personal information pertaining to you that we have stored on our systems.

Ghids Media only collects personal information that is relevant to the purposes for which it will be used. Though we do take appropriate steps to review and update the information that we store to ensure that it is accurate, complete, and current, we also depend on you to update or correct your personal information when necessary.

To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to help verify your identity before granting access or making corrections. We will decline to process requests where we cannot verify the identity of the requester. We may also decline to process requests that are automated, repetitive, systematic, or impractical, or that might jeopardize the privacy of others.

In some limited circumstances, such as to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, and enforce our policies, we may retain some of information that you have requested us to remove. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personal information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests.

Your privacy options

We do not share your email address with any third-party, unless you have given us the explicit permission to do so. Email messages we send on behalf of our advertisers or other Bonnier brands are delivered from our internal email marketing system only. We may also use an encrypted form of your email address strictly for matching purposes, both internally and externally.

We only want to communicate with you if you want to hear from us. All email messages we send will contain Unsubscribe and Manage Preferences links in the footer of each email, which you can use to control what type of email messages you receive. In order to provide you with all relevant content for our brand(s) with which you have interest and to give you the greatest degree of control over what type of messages you receive, your email address may exist on multiple lists.

Taking action using the Unsubscribe link will suppress you from a single list for that type of content (ex: Editorial, Sponsored or Consumer Marketing). For this reason, if you want to stop receiving all email messages from a Bonnier brand, using the Manage Preferences link from the email footer may be a more appropriate option. You may also use the Manage Preferences link to receive other content types, update your personal information or sign up for emails from other Ghids Media brands.

Questions, Concerns, and Complaints

If you have any questions or concerns about this Policy, or if you think that we have used your personal information in a manner inconsistent with this Policy, please contact us by mail or email:
