• Third Party Services. Third party sources, such as our partners and advertisers, interactive applications, and commercially available sources such as data aggregators and public databases collect data from you as you use the Service, which we combine with the information we collect separately. We may use third party service providers and/or third-party software to record text chat to help address customer service inquiries. These third party service providers, including Google and Facebook, have their own privacy policies addressing how they use Personal and browsing Information.

1. Google. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy Terms web page: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. To opt out of Google’s data collection, Google recommends installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on – https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

• Facebook. For more information on the privacy practices of Facebook, please visit Facebook’s Data Policy webpage: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation

• Cookies. Cookies are small text files with a small amount of data that are sent to your browser from a website and transferred to your device. Cookies generally contain information that is associated with your web browser, such as website preferences, login information, or a user ID. This information enables online services to recognize you as you when you interact with or revisit the Service.

Cookies can be classified into the following four types:

1. Strictly Necessary.Cookies that are “Strictly Necessary” are cookies that are essential to you being able to navigate the Service and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, we cannot provide access to the full functionality of the Service.

• Performance. “Performance Cookies” are used to gather statistics on how visitors use our Service. This allows us to gain insight into how users interact with the Service so that we may make improvements to the Service’s usability.

• Functionality.These cookies are used to enhance your experience when you visit our Service such as by capturing your preferences so that they are remembered for subsequent visits to improve your experience. These cookies allow a site to remember choices you make to provide enhanced, personalized features. In most cases we will not be able to track individuals by name. However, cookies may associate Registered Users with their names.

• Targeting. These cookies are used for web analytics and intelligence about our Service. They are used to deliver online advertisements on third party websites that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see such advertisements as well as help measure the effectiveness of any advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the site operator’s permission. The information we collect from these cookies can be used to identify user behavior and to serve content and information on products and services based on your profile.

Additionally, each of the cookies listed above can be classified according to their source and duration:

1. Source. “First party cookies” are cookies that are set by the domain that you are visiting. When you visit the Service we serve cookies set in that domain. “Third party cookies” are cookies served by our advertising partners, advertising networks, and analytics providers when you interact with the Service. Though we do allow third parties to track how you interact with the Service, we do not permit third party cookies to collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address or other personal contact information.

• Duration. “Session cookies” are stored for the duration of your visit. “Persistent cookies” continue to be stored after you leave the Service, and may be kept for weeks, or even years.

If you want to remove existing non-essential cookies from your device, you may do so by selecting such option in the cookie banner. While we may automatically use some cookies that are strictly necessary to provide the services you request or enable communications, we request your consent for all other cookies. If you do not accept certain cookies, you may not be able to use some features of our Service, so we recommend that you leave them turned on.

• Do Not Track Disclosure.Your browser or device may include “Do Not Track” functionality. How browsers communicate with the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform, so a standard technological response has not yet been developed by the policy and technological communities.

ARTICLE VIII

NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

This Notice gives California residents additional information about our information collection and use practices required by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), and also provides California residents with specific privacy rights.

1.  California Information & Deletion Rights. Please see the “Your Privacy Rights” section of our Privacy Policy for information about the rights you have under California law and how to exercise them.

•  Notice of Right to Opt-Out of Sale and Sharing of Personal Information. California residents may opt out of the “Sale” of their Personal Information. Under the CCPA, “sale” is broadly defined to mean the disclosure of Personal Information with third parties who are not acting as our service providers or who are otherwise not restricted from using data only on our behalf or pursuant to an applicable CCPA exception.

In some circumstances, we may disclose certain of your information to third parties to provide you with offers, promotions, and opportunities that may be of interest to you, which may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA. Under the CCPA, “sale” may also include allowing third parties to “collect” certain information, such as IP address, and/or browsing behavior, through cookies and similar technologies, to deliver targeted advertising on the Services or other services. Advertising, including targeted advertising, enables us to provide you certain content for free and allows us to provide you offers relevant to you.

The CCPA also allows California residents to opt out of the “sharing” of their Personal Information for “cross-context behavioral advertising.” Under the CCPA, this activity is defined as the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on that consumer’s Personal Information obtained from the consumer’s activity across websites. We “share” information for these purposes to provide more relevant and tailored advertising to you regarding our Service and the services of our partners.

If you would like to opt out of our use of your information for such purposes that are considered a “sale” or “sharing” under California law, you may do so by contacting us. Please note that we do not knowingly sell the Personal Information of minors under 13 years of age without legally-required affirmative authorization.

Please note that we respond to and abide by browser-based opt-out preference signals. Any opt out preferences you have exercised through these methods will only to the browser on which you made them. The CCPA further provides you with the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising your access, deletion or sale/sharing opt out rights.

The CCPA also allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your “Sensitive Personal Information” (as defined in the CCPA) if your Sensitive Personal Information is used for certain purposes. Please note that we do not use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information other than for purposes for which you cannot opt out under the CCPA.

•  Retention of Your Personal Information. We will only retain your Information for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. This means that the retention periods will vary according to the type of Information and the reason that we have collected the Information in the first place. In determining how long to retain information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, the purposes for which we process the information, applicable legal requirements, and our legitimate interests. The purposes for which we process information (as well as the other factors listed above) may dictate different retention periods for the same types of information. For example, if you purchase a product from our Perfect Golf Event Shop, we will retain your payment history records for a period of time after your your purchase for our anti-fraud and legal compliance purposes. If you opt out of email marketing, we maintain your email on our suppression list indefinitely to comply with your request. We may delete or de-identify your information sooner if we receive a verifiable deletion request, subject to exemptions under applicable law. We may retain cached or archived copies of your information.

•  California “Shine the Light” Disclosure. If a company shares “Personal Information” (as defined in California’s “Shine the Light” law, Civil Code § 1798.83) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes (e.g., to send offers and information that may be of interest to you), California law requires either providing a mechanism by which consumers can obtain more information about such sharing over the prior calendar year, or providing a mechanism by which consumers can opt out of such sharing. As discussed above, we provide an opt out for this sharing. If you are a California resident and would like to opt out of sharing pursuant to this law, please contact us.

ARTICLE IX

NOTICE FOR NEVADA RESIDENTS

Under Nevada law, Nevada residents who have purchased goods or services from us may opt out of the “sale” of “covered information” (as such terms are defined under Nevada law) for monetary consideration to a person for that person to license or sell such information to additional persons. In some circumstances, we may disclose your information to certain third parties that we believe can provide you with offers and promotions for products and services of interest to you. This disclosure may qualify as a sale under Nevada law. If you are a Nevada resident who has purchased goods or services from us, you may submit a request to opt out of “sales” activity by contacting us. Please note we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity and the authenticity of the request.
