TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED

Registration Information

You may only use the Site as a “Registered Member” (which means you have registered as a member of the Site). In order to register as a member of the Site, you must complete the online registration form and create a password and unique user name. During registration you are also required to give personally identifiable information including your first name, last name, and email address. We use this information to authenticate users and to send notifications to those users relating to the Site. Some of your registration information also becomes part of your Personal Profile.

Personal Profile Information

If you are a Registered Member, you have the option to provide profile information about yourself on your “Personal Profile” such as your gender, age, and personal golf information. We encourage you to submit relevant information so we can provide you a more personalized experience on our Site. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in your Personal Profile or as part of our swing analysis system (described in more detail below). When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records.

Data for Swing Analysis System

If you choose to take advantage of our unique swing analysis system, we will request that you provide us with certain information required for optimal use of the swing model, including but not limited to your gender, physical attributes (e.g., height), golf handicap, grip, ball flight dexterity, etc.

Pictures and Video Clips

If you are a Registered Member, you have the option to add one or more pictures to your Personal Profile. You also can designate one picture as your “Main Profile Picture.” In addition, if you sign up to use our swing analysis system, you will be required to upload pictures and video clips of yourself as part of that service. These pictures and video clips uploaded as part of our swing analysis system including all other pictures and videos you upload to the Site will always be viewable by us and other Registered Members.

Promotions, Contests or Surveys

From time to time you may be offered the opportunity to participate in a promotion, contest or survey on the Site (we will refer to all of these activities as “Promotions”). If you participate in a Promotion, we (or a third party identified by us), may request additional information from you— including personally identifiable information.

Invitations and Other Communications to Non-Members

We may offer you a referral service to tell a friend (on the Site, “Friends” are also referred to as “Connections”) about our Site. If you choose to use our referral service, we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend an initial email inviting him or her to visit the Site. We may store your friend’s name and email address so that your friend may be added to your “friend’s list”, and also to send reminders of the invitations. We will not sell the email addresses you provide for referrals or use that information to send any other communication besides invitations and invitation reminders. Recipients of invitations from us will be able to contact us at https://app.golfboost.com/Contact to request that we remove this information from our database.

Information from Other Sources

From time to time, we may receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. For example, we may receive confirmations or other feedback from third parties engaged in Promotions. Additionally, we may purchase demographic information about you to allow us to provide you personalized offerings. We also may obtain search term and search result information from some searches conducted through the Web search features; search results and links, including paid listings (such as sponsored links from Google™).

Website Traffic Information

We may also collect and analyze the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, login, email address, password, computer and connection information, browser type and version, operating system. We also we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page. We collect this information from Registered Members, typically through automated methods.

Cookies and Pixel Tags

A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can send to your browser and may then be stored on your computer’s hard drive. It acts as an anonymous tag that identifies your computer, but not you personally. A pixel tag, also known as a clear GIF or web beacon, is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of a website but not on your computer. When you access these pages, pixel tags generate a generic notice of that visit. They usually work in conjunction with cookies, registering when a particular computer visits a particular page. If you turn off cookies the pixel tag will simply detect an anonymous website visit and certain features of the Site may not be available.

Third Party Advertisers

The advertisements appearing on this Site may be delivered to users by our advertisers. We share website usage information about users for the purpose of targeting our advertisements on the Site. Our advertisers may use cookies and/or clear GIFs. These cookies and clear GIFs allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. In this way, ad servers may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on.

This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. The information that our advertisers collect and share through this technology is not personally identifiable. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by us and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

We may transfer personal information to certain of our advertisers that you have explicitly requested to receive information from. It will be clear at the point of collection who is collecting the personal information and whose privacy statement will apply.

USE, SHARING AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

Personal Information Always Shown to Registered Members

Registered Member information is displayed to other Registered Members in order to facilitate user interaction in our social network community. All of the information in your Personal Profile is viewable by Registered Members; you cannot filter your information to other Registered Members. To facilitate searching and finding friends and acquaintances on the service (discussed in more detail below), the Site allows users to search for other members using criteria, such as first and last name, age, and email address, but only if and to the extent that you provide such information. The following sections describe additional information that may be viewable by others.

Information relating to the Swing Analysis System

If you sign up to use our swing analysis system, you will receive instruction, analysis and critique from a swing model designed by golf professionals from around the world. We store this information, as well as the data that you provide as part of the swing analysis system (discussed in more detail above). We may also use this information and data to promote the Website or for any other legal purpose; however, we will not include any personally identifiable information without your consent.

As part of our swing analysis system, you will also be required to upload pictures and video clips of yourself. These pictures and video clips will be stored by us and may be used to promote the Website or for any other legal purpose.

Service Providers

We use third parties to provide certain administrative and service-related services on our Site. These third parties may have access to all of your personal information. These third parties are prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for any other purpose.

Promotional Offers

Occasionally we send offers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information (such as zip code). Unless we provide you notice of other terms, this Privacy Policy will control the disclosure and use of the information collected during the Promotion.

Providing Personalized Services to You

We store information that we collect through cookies, log files, clear gifs, Internet Traffic Information and/or third party sources to create a “profile” of your preferences. We tie your personally identifiable information to information in the profile, in order to provide tailored promotions and marketing offers and to improve the content of the Site for you. We use cookies and pixel tags to identify you as a return visitor and optimize and track your use of the Site. Doing so helps us provide enhanced features such as accelerated purchasing, customized and personalized shopping suggestions, personalized greetings, and storage of items in your shopping bag between visits.

We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. We also use this information, which does not alone identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the Site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

We set a persistent cookie to store your passwords, so you don’t have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Site.

Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our Site. We have no access to, or control over, these cookies, and their use of cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not our Privacy Policy.

Business Transfers

To improve the offerings and selection at the Site, we may occasionally acquire subsidiaries or particular business units may be bought by or merged with another entity, entities, or individuals. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy notice(s) (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the event that we or substantially all of our or the Site’s assets are acquired, all customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets. We reserve the right to transfer personal information to a successor in interest that acquires rights to that information as a result of the sale of Golf Web Academy or substantially all of its or the Site’s assets to that successor in interest.

Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable)

We share aggregated demographic information about our user base with our business partners (including our advertisers). When sharing this information, we do not identify individual users.

Law Enforcement; Protection of Golf Web Academy Inc. and Others

It is sometimes necessary to release account and other information when we believe it is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Golf Web Academy, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Under no circumstances, however, does this include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from clients for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or (1) to conform to legal requirements or to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other legal process received by us, whether or not a response is required by applicable law; (2) to enforce our Terms of Use or to protect our rights; or (3) to protect the safety of members of the public and users of the Site.
