Privacy Statement
MyGolfRounds.com is committed to members Privacy. The following discloses how we
collect, store and use information about customers and prospects, and how to
correct or change such information. MyGolfRounds.com’s Privacy Policy is not
intended to and does not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on
behalf of any party.
MyGolfRounds.com does not collect personally identifiable information (e.g.,
name, address, e-mail address, age, or income level) about individuals except
when such individuals specifically provide such information on a voluntary
basis. For example, such personally identifiable information may be gathered
from a contest or sweepstakes registration, the registration process for
membership services and in connection with content submissions, community
postings (e.g., chat and bulletin/message boards), suggestions, voting/polling
activities, online shopping and other transactional areas. MyGolfRounds.com
uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to
administer our web site. Your IP address is used to help identify you and your
shopping cart and to gather broad demographic information.
MyGolfRounds.com uses customer contact information from the registration form
(e.g., name, address, e-mail address) to send the user information about
MyGolfRounds.com and its instructors. Users may opt out of any promotional
material from our partners. MyGolfRounds.com also uses such information to
contact the visitor when necessary and shares such information with other
companies who may want to contact our visitors (provided that users will always
have the ability to opt out of any distribution). MyGolfRounds.com collects
demographic and profile data (e.g., age, postal code) to tailor each visitor's
experience at our site, showing such visitor content that we think he might be
interested in, and displaying the content according to his preferences.
We will maintain appropriate safeguards to ensure the security, integrity and
privacy of your personally identifiable information. Notwithstanding any
failure to opt in or out of promotional information by the user,
MyGolfRounds.com reserves the right to contact a subscriber regarding account
status, changes to the service agreement and other matters relevant to the
underlying service and/or the information collected.
MyGolfRounds.com reserves the right to perform statistical analyses of user
behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the
various areas of the site and to inform advertisers of such information as well
as the number of users that have been exposed to or clicked on their
advertising banners. MyGolfRounds.com will provide only “aggregated” data - -
meaning that the information from many users is grouped together in a way that
does not disclose the personal information of any particular user - - from
those analyses to third parties. Also, users should be aware that
MyGolfRounds.com may sometimes permit third parties to offer subscription
and/or registration services through the MyGolfRounds.com site.
MyGolfRounds.com is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third
parties and users should check the applicable privacy policy of such parties
when providing personally identifiable information.
Additionally, users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personally
identifiable information on the bulletin/message boards, forums, news groups
and/or in the chat areas of the MyGolfRounds.com site, that information, along
with substantive information disclosed in the user’s communication, becomes
public information, which can be collected and correlated and used by third
parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third
parties. While MyGolfRounds.com strives to protect a user’s personal
information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of information you
disclose online and you do so at your own risk.
Cookies
Users should also
be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically collected
through the standard operation of MyGolfRounds.com’s Internet servers or
through the use of “cookies.” “Cookies” are small data files that web sites
transfer to your computer’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies
allow us to serve you faster and with better quality, and make web surfing
easier for you by saving your passwords, purchases and preferences while you
are at our site so you don’t have to re-enter such information each time you
visit our site. The use of cookies is now an industry standard, and you will
find them used on almost every major web site to provide an enhanced online
experience. Cookies are not programs that come onto a user’s system and damage
files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that
has no meaning outside the assigning site. Cookies allow us to track usage
patterns and to compile data that can help us improve our content. Further, we
use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to save your
member ID. No other company has access to our cookies. Users should be aware
that MyGolfRounds.com cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting
information by advertisers of third parties hosting data for MyGolfRounds.com.
These cookies are not subject to MyGolfRounds.com’s Privacy Policy. If a user
does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a
simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the
cookie feature. However, users should note that cookies may be necessary to
provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized delivery of
information) available on the MyGolfRounds.com site.
No information should be submitted to or posted at MyGolfRounds.com's web site by
guests under 13 years of age without the prior consent of their parent or
guardian (for example, by sending in a permission form by regular mail or by
fax). When a guest under 13 registers, his/her parent or guardian receives an
e-mail alerting them to that registration and providing instructions on how the
parent could delete the registration if so desired. Although guests under 13
years of age are allowed to participate in contests (subject to the contest
rules), if such a guest wins, notification and prizes are sent to the parents
or guardian identified in the initial registration process. No information
collected from guests under 13 years of age is used for any marketing or
promotional purpose whatsoever, either inside or outside MyGolfRounds.com.
Upon request, MyGolfRounds.com will use reasonable efforts to allow users to
update/correct personal information previously submitted which the user states
is erroneous to the extent such activities will not compromise privacy or
security interests. Also, upon a user's request, MyGolfRounds.com will use
commercially reasonable efforts to functionally delete the user and his or her
personal information from its database; however, it may be impossible to delete
a user's entry without some residual information because of backups and records
of deletions.

Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our site.

its discretion, to modify or remove any portions of such policy at any time. If
we decide to change MyGolfRounds.com’s Privacy Policy, we will post those
changes on this page. Your continued use of the MyGolfRounds.com site following
the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
