We Collect, Use, Share and Otherwise Process Information

GolfInRed relies on a number of legal bases to collect, use, share, and otherwise process the information we have about you for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

• as necessary to provide the Services and fulfill our obligations pursuant to the Terms of Service.
• where necessary to comply with a legal obligation, a court order, or to exercise and defend legal claims;
  to protect your vital interests, or those of others, such as in the case of emergencies;
• where you have made the information public; and
• where necessary for the purposes of GolfInRed’s or a third party’s legitimate interests, such as our interests in protecting our members, our partners’ interests in collaborating with our members, and our commercial interests in ensuring the sustainability of the Services.

Information GolfInRed Collects

GolfInRed collects information about you, including information that directly or indirectly identifies you, if you or your other members choose to share it with GolfInRed. We receive information in a few different ways, including when you track, complete or upload activities using the Services. GolfInRed also collects information about how you use the Services. There are also several opportunities for you to share information about yourself, your friends, and your activities with GolfInRed. For example:

• We collect basic account information such as your name, email address, date of birth, gender, username and password that helps secure and provide you with access to our Services.
• Profile, activity and use information is collected about you when you choose to upload a picture, round (including date, time and geo-location information as well as your score) or post, join a challenge, your equipment, view others’ activities, or otherwise use the Services.
• You can choose to add your contacts’ information by connecting your contacts from your mobile device or social networking accounts to GolfInRed. If you choose to share your contacts with GolfInRed, GolfInRed will, in accordance with your instructions, access and store your contacts’ information in order to identify connections and help you connect with them.
• We gather information from the photos, posts, comments, kudos and other content you share on the Services.
• When you make a payment on GolfInRed, you may provide payment information such as your payment card or other payment details. We use Payment Card Industry compliant third-party payment services and we do not store your credit card information.
• GolfInRed allows you to sign up and log in to the Services using accounts you create with third-party products and services, such as Facebook or Google (collectively, “Third-Party Accounts”). If you access the Services with Third-Party Accounts we will collect information that you have agreed to make available such as your name, email address, profile information and preferences with the applicable Third-Party Account. This information is collected by the Third-Party Account provider and is provided to GolfInRed under their privacy policies. You can generally control the information that we receive from these sources using the privacy controls in your Third-Party Account.
• To help us to provide you with the best possible service, you can choose to provide us with your contact information so we can better respond to your support requests and comments.
• We also obtain additional third party information about our members from marketers, partners, researchers, and others. We may combine information that we collect from you with information obtained from other members, third parties and information derived from any other subscription, product, or service we provide. We may also collect information about you from other members such as when they give you kudos or comment on your activities.
• We collect information from your browser, computer, or mobile device, which provide us with technical information when you access or use the Services. This technical information includes device and network information, cookies, log files and analytics information. Learn more about how we use cookies in our Cookies Policy.
• The Services use log files. The information stored in those files includes IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. This information is used to analyze trends, administer, protect and secure the Services, track member movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, may be linked to session IDs, athlete IDs and device identifiers.

How GolfInRed Uses Information

GolfInRed uses the information we collect and receive to administer and operate the Services and to customize them for you. For example, we use your scoring average  to provide you with interesting and useful performance analysis. Subject to your privacy controls, your information, including your profile, username, photos, members you follow and who follow you, groups you belong to, your rounds, the devices you use, and comments you give and receive will be shared on GolfInRed so that you may be able to participate in the Services, for example to show your place on a leaderboard. Certain information (e.g., your name and some profile information) may also be available to non-members on the web.

We use the information we collect about you, your followers, and your activities to customize your experience. We also use the information we collect to process payments, provide support related to the Services, protect members and enforce our Terms of Service, promote safety, and to communicate with you (including to send marketing communications) where you have agreed to receive such messages and notifications.

We also use the information we collect to analyze, develop and improve the Services. To do this, GolfInRed may use third party analytics providers to gain insights into how our Services are used and to help us improve the Services.

We may also use the information we collect to market and promote the Services, activities on GolfInRed, and other commercial products or services. This includes customizing your GolfInRed experience. For example, if we notice your putting performance drop, we may tell you about new putting techniques or show you sponsored content related to putting. If we see that you play specific courses, we may suggest an alternative in that area.

GolfInRed may aggregate the information you and others make available in connection with the Services and post it publicly or share it with third parties. To do this, we remove certain account information, such as your name, and combine the resulting information with similar information from other GolfInRed athletes. Examples of the type of information we may aggregate in this way include information about equipment, usage, demographics, courses and performance. GolfInRed may use, sell, license, and share this information with third parties for research, business or other purposes such as to improve specific golfing performance or to help our partners understand more about athletes, including the people who use their products and services.

How Information is Shared

In addition to sharing aggregated data about our members as described above, we also share information that identifies you in accordance with your preferences, as needed to run our business and provide the Services, and where required for legal purposes, as set forth below.

Service Providers

We may share your information with third parties who provide services to GolfInRed such as supporting and improving the Services, promoting the Services, processing payments, or fulfilling orders. These service providers will only have access to the information necessary to perform these limited functions on our behalf and are required to protect and secure your information. We may also engage service providers to collect information about your use of the Services over time on our behalf so that we or they may promote GolfInRed or display information that may be relevant to your interests on the Services or other websites or services.

Sharing Information and Activities

As a social network, we share your information with other GolfInRed members and the public in accordance with your privacy controls. For example, all or a portion of your name and other profile information is viewable by other GolfInRed members and the public and, subject to your privacy controls, additional information you provide may also be viewable.  If you link your GolfInRed account to other social networks and share your activities, they will be viewable on such third-party platforms. You should use caution when sharing information via third parties and you should carefully review the privacy practices of such third parties.

Publicly Available Information

Your information and content may be publicly accessible to and searchable by other GolfInRed members and non-members. We provide a variety of tools to control the sharing of your information.

Affiliates and Acquirors of our Business or Assets

We may share your information with affiliates under common control with us, who are required to comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy with regard to your information. If GolfInRed becomes involved in a business combination, securities offering, bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution or other similar transaction, we may share or transfer your information in connection with such transaction.

Legal Requirements

We may preserve and share your information with third parties, including law enforcement, public or governmental agencies, or private litigants, within or outside your country of residence, if we determine that such disclosure is allowed by the law or reasonably necessary to comply with the law, including to respond to court orders, warrants, subpoenas, or other legal or regulatory process. We may also retain, preserve or disclose your information if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate to prevent any person from death or serious bodily injury, to address issues of national security or other issues of public importance, to prevent or detect violations of our Terms of Service or fraud or abuse of GolfInRed or its members, or to protect our operations or our property or other legal rights, including by disclosure to our legal counsel and other consultants and third parties in connection with actual or potential litigation.

DMCA Notices

We may share your information with third parties when we forward Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notifications, which will be forwarded as submitted to us without any deletions.

How We Protect Information

We take several measures to safeguard the collection, transmission and storage of the data we collect. Although we strive to employ reasonable protections for your information that are appropriate to its sensitivity, we do not guarantee or warrant the security of the information you share with us and we are not responsible for the theft, destruction, loss or inadvertent disclosure of your information or content. No system is 100% secure. The Services use industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of personal information and credit card numbers. GolfInRed engages providers that are industry leaders in online security, including Services verification, to strengthen the security of our Services. The Services are registered with site identification authorities so that your browser can confirm GolfInRed’s identity before any personal information is sent. In addition, GolfInRed’s secure servers protect this information using advanced firewall technology.

To help ensure that these measures are effective in preventing unauthorized access to your private information, you should be aware of the security features available to you through your browser. You should use a security-enabled browser to submit your credit card information and other personal information at the Services. Please note that if you do not use a SSL-capable browser, you are at risk for having data intercepted.

Most browsers have the ability to notify you if you change between secure and insecure communications, receive invalid services identification information for the Services you are communicating with, or send information over an unsecured connection. GolfInRed recommends that you enable these browser functions to help ensure that your communications are secure. You can also monitor the URL of the services you are visiting (secure URLs begin with https:// rather than http://), along with the security symbol of your browser to help identify when you are communicating with a secure server. You can also view the details of the security certificate of the services to which you are connected. Please check the validity of any Services you connect to using secure communications.

Disclaimer

While GolfInRed continues to work hard to protect your personal information, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure, and GolfInRedcannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to GolfInRed. Transmitting personal information is done at your own risk.

EU Members’ Rights

If you are habitually located in the European Union, you have the right to access, rectify, download or erase your information, as well as the right to restrict and object to certain processing of your information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited circumstances. We describe these rights below:

Transfers

The Services are operated from the United States. If you are located outside of the United States and choose to use the Services or provide information to us, you acknowledge and understand that your information will be transferred, processed and stored in the United States, as it is necessary to provide the Services and perform the Terms of Service. United States privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction.

Information associated with your account will generally be kept until it is no longer necessary to provide the Services or until your account is deleted. In addition, you can delete some items of information (e.g., profile information) and you can remove individual activities from view on the Services without deleting your account. Following your deletion of your account, it may take up to 30 days to fully delete your personal information and system logs from our systems. Additionally, we may retain information from deleted accounts to comply with the law, prevent fraud, collect fees, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with investigations, enforce the Terms of Service and take other actions permitted by law. The information we retain will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Information about you that is no longer necessary and relevant to provide our Services may be de-identified or aggregated with other non-personal data to provide insights which are commercially valuable to GolfInRed, such as statistics of the use of the Services.

Privacy Policy Information

GolfInRed reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Please review it occasionally. If GolfInRed makes changes to this Privacy Policy, the updated Privacy Policy will be posted on the Services in a timely manner and, if we make material changes, we will provide a prominent notice. If you object to any of the changes to this Privacy Policy, you should stop using the Services and delete your account.
