Information Collection and Use
We collect personal information that you provide primarily to respond to
your inquiries and to contact you about the services, products or other
matters described on this site or the sites of our affiliates,
partners, advertisers or clients, including the golf course properties
we manage (collectively, “Business Partners”).
We also collect personal information to enhance your visit to this
site or our Business Partners’ sites and deliver more individualized
content and advertising. For example, we may use personal information to
communicate with you regarding this Privacy Policy or regarding
surveys, sweepstakes, contests, special events, promotions and other
matters.
Personal Information may also be collected and used on our behalf by,
or shared with, third party contractors we hire to assist us in the
administration, hosting, operation, maintenance and/or technical support
of this site or our Business Partners’ sites or by other third party
contractors we retain to assist us or our Business Partners in the
operation of our businesses.
We may also collect and aggregate non-personal information
(information that does not personally identify you) from users of this
site or our Business Partners’ sites to determine which web site pages
are visited most frequently or what features are most attractive to
users or for other reasons.
At any time, if you do not wish to receive e-mail from us or our
Business Partners or you do not wish us to use your personal information
in any way, you may “opt out” by following the instructions in the
e-mail that you receive from us or our Business Partners or by
contacting us as described below in the section entitled, “Opting Out.”
Unless you instruct us otherwise by “opting out,” neither we nor our
Business Partners are restricted in any way with regard to how we may
use personal information you supply, subject to applicable law and this
Privacy Policy, and we may share it with, or sell or license it to, our
Business Partners or other third parties for marketing or other
purposes. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, any credit card
information you supply may be used and disclosed by us, our Business
Partners or third party contractors solely to the extent reasonably
necessary in connection with processing a transaction initiated by you,
and may be retained solely for such period of time as is reasonably
necessary related to any such transaction.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Privacy Policy, including any
“opt out” instructions we receive from you, we may also disclose
personal information without notifying you in the following
circumstances: (i) in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal
process, or to establish or exercise our or our Business Partners’ legal
rights or defend against legal claims; (ii) when we believe it
necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding
illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential
threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our or our
Business Partners’ Terms of Use, and/or to protect our or our Business
Partners’ rights and property or those of others with which we do
business; or (iii) when we or a Business Partner sells, buys, merges or
partners with other companies or businesses, where user information may
be among the transferred assets or disclosed information.
Technical Aspects of How We Gather Information

As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information
automatically and store it in log files. This information includes
internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service
provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp,
and clickstream data. We use this information, which does not identify
individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track
users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information
about our or our Business Partners’ user base as a whole. We do not link
this automatically-collected data to personal information, nor do we
tie IP addresses to personal information.
Cookies
We use third party tracking services, including in some cases Google
Analytics, that use cookies to track non-personally identifiable usage
and volume statistics about visitors to our or our Business Partners’
sites in the aggregate for the purpose of understanding how those sites
are used. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s
computer for record-keeping purposes. Apart from the foregoing, we do

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal

transactions, please be advised that the web pages on this site or our
Business Partners’ sites from which you may be asked to provide personal
information do not transmit such information in encrypted form.
