Consumer Privacy and Security Policy
GolfTraining.com ("GolfTraining.com") is a product
of PhysiCore, with technical ecommerce solutions provided by ConfiTech,
who understands your concern with privacy and the use of your
personal information. Whether you submit a request for professional
services, or simply browse through our website, we assure you
that we are committed to protecting your personal privacy.
1. Information GolfTraining.com Collects
GolfTraining.com collects information of consumers who communicate
with us or through our authorized vendors via e-mail and through
the website. We also collect information on web pages visited
and other information that is provided by consumers, either on
our site or in response to e-mail communications from us. We also
collect information provided to us by consumers in service requests
and generic general-information forms submitted through our site
or our authorized vendors' sites ("Service Request Information").
Service Request Information typically includes name, address,
and phone numbers, e-mail address, billing and shipping information
and specific item-of-interest information.
All information provided by consumers in any of the above-listed
ways or otherwise becomes the property of GolfTraining.com
once received by us and may be used and disclosed as permitted
in this Policy.
Framed Sections of Our Site
GolfTraining.com maintains relationships with outside
service providers for some of the products and services
offered through our site. Certain service providers are
found on our Inventory Details, Events, or other pages.
The information these providers make available may be presented
in a "framed" format, where the GolfTraining.com
border will surround the pages served by the service providers,
or by directly linking the user to the vendors' sites. In
either case, the service provider is prominently identified.
Please be aware that any information you provide on those
framed pages is provided directly to those service providers
and is subject to their security and privacy policies. We
encourage you to read the privacy policies of these outside
service providers because their privacy practices may differ
from ours.
Example: GridionSkills.com in itself, may be framed within a
partners site as well. In this event, our Privacy and Terms agreements
apply.
Browsing on our Website
If you browse through our site without entering any personal
data, we will gather and store certain information about
your visit. This information does not identify you personally
and cannot be linked back to you unless you decide at some
point to identify yourself.
If you are only browsing, we collect the following information:
IP address, the type of browser and operating system used
to access our site, the date and time you access our site,
the pages you visit (click-through), and if you linked to
our Web site from another Web site, the address of that
Web site, as well as additional information related to your
visit.
2. How We Use Your Personal Information
Collected information is used to improve the content of
our website, customize the content or layout of our website
for individual users, provide services requested, notify
users of updates to the site and, subject to the limitations
set forth below, to develop new products and services and
to contact consumers for marketing purposes.
Personalization
GolfTraining.com offers its users the advantage of
personalization on our website by using cookies. (See Cookies
below.) Personalized services are offered in designated
areas of our website to users who register with us. Examples
of personalization include providing information when prompted
for services, the saving of "favorite" information
in "shopping areas," the recordation of previous
searches for easy updates, and the provision of reminders,
notices and special offer information for those users who
request these options.
GolfTraining.com may track consumer interest in goods
and services marketed to users who are members of the on-site
personalization area. This information is used solely by
GolfTraining.com and its affiliated companies for business
purposes.
Service Request Information
Where applicable, Service Request Information from general information
request forms and/ or details pages is used to transmit to third
parties requests for products or services and to contact consumers
regarding accessory services. Typically, the information is transmitted
to golf service providers, retailers, manufacturers, or fulfillment
entities, as applicable, who may be in a position to respond to
your request. As part of the request process, we may verify the
information you provide, or obtain omitted address or other contact
information, from third parties.
Occasionally, in the case of Service Request Information, when
GolfTraining.com does not have a service provider available to
assist you, we may forward your request information to a merchant
through another referral service. Your submission of the request
authorizes us to do this. Any Service Request Information forwarded
in this way becomes subject to the security and privacy policies
that are posted on the websites of those referral services.
Similarly, Service Request transmitted to a retailer, manufacturer,
or fulfillment entity becomes the property of that retailer, manufacturer,
lender or fulfillment entity, in addition to GolfTraining.com.
The information is used to process your service request or financing
application and to provide you with information about goods and
services. Any request to opt out of future retailer, lender, manufacturer
or other third-party communications must be made directly to that
third party.
Other Uses
We also share your personal information with our affiliated companies
in order to identify products or services in which you may have
interest, to improve our user experience and generally to engage
in market research and for other internal business purposes. We
also may aggregate your personal information with others' information
and prepare reports on site usage, visitation history or other
factors for sale or distribution to others. Those reports are
aggregated and include no personally identifying information.
Finally, we may use your personal information to send you email
or postal communications regarding products or services offered
by us or by third parties with whom we have relationships in which
we think you may be interested. We do not share, sell, trade,
or rent your personal information to third parties for unknown
reasons.
Special Sections of Our Site
GolfTraining.com may offer forums on its site. Any
information you disclose in these forums is available to
all GolfTraining.com registered members and may increase
the risk of receiving "spam" or unsolicited email
from other parties. Be careful and use discretion when disclosing
information online.
If you choose to submit a General Comment or Consumer Review,
you will be able to request that your name, email address
and a list of assets in your household not be shown. If
you do not give that permission, your personal information
may be displayed.
If you contact us utilizing a live help "chat"
function, your questions or information will not be collected
or shared with other parties, unless directed by you.
3. Third Parties That May Receive Your Personal Information
In addition to our own internal uses of your information,
we may provide your personal information to non-affiliated
third parties under one of several circumstances:
To provide you with services or products that you have requested
(such as, for example, transmittal of Service Request Information
to retailers, manufacturers, fulfillment third-parties and other
referral services);
To our advertiser clients solely to assess the effectiveness
of ad campaigns we have provided for them;
To contractors or service providers who may provide services
or perform functions on our behalf, in which case those
service providers may use your information only for the
purposes provided and not disclose it to any third party
except upon our direction;
To enforce our rights or as required by law or order of
a court or government agency; and
On occasion, unless you opt-out (as described below), to
other third parties who may wish to send you e-mails or
postal communications regarding services or products that
you may find of interest.
4. Your Right To Opt Out of Communications From Us and
Others
You always have the option of removing yourself from further
marketing contact from us. If at any time you choose to opt out
of any category of email, you can click on the remove link at
the bottom of the e-mail. Alternatively, you may email Customer
Service at "shawn @ Golf Training.com" (Note: please
remove spaces in the email address previously listed. Spaces added
to thwart spam-bots) with the word "Remove" in the subject
line and we will remove you from all further email and postal
mail marketing communication within 30 business days.
In addition, those consumers who submit a service request
to us are given the opportunity at the time they provide
their information to decide what types of offerings of products
or services they wish to receive or to opt-out.
In each case, even if you decide not to receive offers
or other product or service information, GolfTraining.com
and its member retailers may use a phone number or email
address that you have provided to contact you regarding
your service request or general information request. Additionally,
phone numbers may be used to conduct customer surveys regarding
individual experiences with GolfTraining.com and any
accredited retailers. Phone numbers are made available only
to GolfTraining.com, its affiliates and member retailers,
or manufacturers who receive your information.
The submission of a service request itself is permission
for us to submit your service Request Information (as applicable)
to the third parties necessary to fulfill your request.
5. Security
GolfTraining.com understands the importance of security
for our consumers. We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption
technology to protect personal data such as credit card
information and finance or insurance application information
during transmission, and maintain other commercially reasonable
precautions to protect information that we store or retain.
6. Corrections or Changes to Your Personal Information
You may also make corrections and updates to your personal information
by contacting "shawn @ Golf Training.com" (Note: please
remove spaces in the email address previously listed. Spaces added
to thwart spam-bots).
7. Cookies and Web Beacons
GolfTraining.com offers consumers the convenience
of online personalization by using cookies. Cookies are
alphanumeric identifiers that are transferred to your computer's
hard drive through your web browser. When this information
is stored on your hard drive, our system is able to recognize
your browser and in turn customize web page content for
you. (See Personalization)
Cookies cannot be used to retrieve data from your hard
drive, obtain your email address or obtain sensitive information
about you. When a cookie is set, your browser will check
it for length, an expiration date, and where it originated.
Only GolfTraining.com can access the cookies that we
set.
GolfTraining.com allows our ad service company to
set cookies as well. These cookies can "recognize"
a consumer by a Unique identifier assigned at the time of
the first visit, and may be used to measure site and page
visits and browser version number, and browsing activity.
This information may be used to better serve and provide
advertising content on future visits and web pages viewed
during your browser sessions on our websites. These cookies
cannot obtain private information like name, e-mail or other
personal information, and are not shared with GolfTraining.com.
We use a third party tracking service who sets cookies
on our site to track visits, page views and click stream
behavior. The third party tracking service reports this
data to us in aggregate so we can better understand our
users and to improve our site. This information is not tied
to any individual user.
If you prefer not to accept cookies, most browsers will
explain how to disable cookies under the help portion of
the toolbar or notify you when you receive a new cookie.
However, if you choose to disallow cookies on your hard
drive, our Web site will not be able to provide personalization
services.
We also place "web beacons" on the website on
behalf of third parties. A web beacon is a small, transparent
image placed at various sections of our site to monitor
user traffic. The web beacon records the number of click-throughs
to the page where it resides and collects users' IP addresses,
time the page was viewed, type of browser used, and existence
of cookies from a previous visit. However, the data collected
by our web beacons are used only in aggregated form, with
no associated identifying information, and GolfTraining.com
does not tie IP addresses to individual users or disclose
the IP addresses to any nonaffiliated third party. Information
collected by web beacons is used only by GolfTraining.com,
its affiliates and authorized vendors. If you do not wish
such information to be collected, you can choose to deactivate
cookies on your browser.
8. Changes or Revisions to This Policy
If we are going to use your personally identifying information
in a manner different from that stated in our privacy policy
at the time of collection, we will notify you via email.
You will have a choice as to whether or not to allow us
to use your information in this different manner. In addition,
if we make any material changes in our privacy practices
that do not affect user information already stored in our
database, we will post a prominent notice on our website
notifying users of the change. In some cases we will also
e-mail users who have opted to receive communications from
us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
In the event GolfTraining.com or its assets are acquired,
such as through merger, acquisition or similar event, resulting
in a change in ultimate control over customers' personal
information (other than through an internal corporate reorganization
or similar transaction), customers will be notified promptly
of such change. We will make reasonable efforts to ensure
that the acquirer of our customers' personal information
respects the provisions of this privacy policy, although
this may not be possible in certain legal settings (such
as bankruptcy).
