1. What is "personally identifiable information?"
Personally identifiable information is information that can be used to identify you as a unique individual, such as your name; home, email or other address; telephone number; birth date; credit card number; and similar personal information.
2. What personally identifiable information do we collect about you through our online services?
We collect personally identifiable information about you in a number or different ways through our online site.
You may give us personally identifiable information about you to permit us to verify your identity as a person who is entitled to register to use and to continue to use the services we provide to you. When you register to use the website services, we will ask for certain personally identifiable information to confirm your identity as a person authorized to use the site. This information is required to be complete and accurate at the time it is given, and to be updated so that it is at all times accurate and complete, as a condition of your continued ability to use the website.
Once you have registered to use the River Strand Golf and Country Club website, whenever you sign in to use the site your personal identity is known to us.
Other personally identifiable information about you may be given to us by you so we may render the services we provide. For example, we may assist our management company in compiling an electronic database of members of River Strand Golf and Country Club or posting an online directory of members.
You may give your credit card number to us and our management company through the website in order to pay your River Strand Golf and Country Club dues, assessments, or member charges. However, prior to its transmission to River Strand Golf and Country Club’s bank(s), your credit card information is encrypted through the use of secure server software and is then transmitted in this secure and encrypted fashion.
If you send an email message, we will receive your email address and any other personally identifiable information you may include in that message.
3. Our use of cookies: what they are and how we use them?
A cookie is a small data file that a web server sends to your web browser (your computer's hard drive) so it can be later read by the web server. We use cookies to help us identify you so that you are able to use website services that are restricted to authorized users. We may also use cookies for purposes such as tracking web site use, length and nature of use, number of members, traffic patterns and other business purposes. We may do this in an anonymous fashion (in a manner that does not attempt to personally identify the user); however, once you have registered to use our service, you are no longer anonymous to us when you use our website.
When users or other visitors visit our website, our web servers automatically record certain information and retain it in the web servers' logs. This information may include your IP address, domain name, browser type, date and time of the visit and similar information that is not normally considered "personally identifiable information".
4. Who is collecting the information?
As explained above, we collect personally identifiable information about you in connection with the provision of River Strand Golf and Country Club services. Contractors that we engage to provide some of the services may also collect personally identifiable information about you in connection with the performance of those services. We require those contractors to adhere to privacy policies no less stringent than our Online Privacy Policy. Web sites that are linked to our site may also collect personally identifiable information about you. We have no control over the information gathering practices of those sites and they are not covered by our Online Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any such third party.
In the course of using the River Strand Golf and Country Club website, you may provide personally identifiable information to others. For example, you might post a message to a message board or send an email to another member, or the association's management company, that may contain personally identifiable information. We do not control the privacy practices or policies of any such person or entity, and they are not covered by this Online Privacy Policy.
5. How is the information used?
We use your personally identifiable information that we collect through your use of the River Strand Golf and Country Club website to provide services, and to help us improve our services. We may share anonymous information, or information that is "aggregated," to better understand the users of our website and enhance or improve our services, but we will do so only in a manner that does not personally identify you.
6. Who do we share the information with?
We do not sell or rent your personally identifiable information in the normal course of our business; however, if all or substantially all of our assets are sold to a third party, your personally identifiable information will be included in the assets transferred. We share your personally identifiable information with the association's management company. We also share the information with third parties that may provide a portion of the services. We do not allow such third parties to use that information other than in connection with the provisions of the services they provide to the association. We may disclose personally identifiable information to any third party if required to do so by law or regulation, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to:
(a) comply with legal process;
(b) enforce the Terms of Service;
(c) respond to claims that any content of any portion of the services violated the rights of third parties; or
(d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of us, other Users or the public.
7. What are your choices regarding the collection, use and distribution of your information?
If we wish to collect, use or share your personally identifiable information through our online website in a way that is not provided in this Online Privacy Policy, we will notify you and you will always have the option of not permitting the collection, use or transfer. However, if such proposed collection, use or transfer is a condition of our provision of any of the services we provide, your refusal to grant permission may result in your inability to use all or a portion of the River Strand Golf and Country Club website services.
By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set or to reject all cookies. However, if you choose to reject all cookies or if you enable other software that prevents cookies from operating, you may be unable to use the website services.
8. How you can correct inaccuracies in or update your information?
Personally identifiable information about you may be contained in an online database maintained in connection with provision of River Strand Golf and Country Club services. Your personally identifiable information that is contained in any such database should be accessible by you online, if you wish to correct any inaccuracies, as long as you are an authorized User of the River Strand Golf and Country Club website. Obviously, certain personally identifiable information, such as the address of the “unit” that you own, cannot be changed without verification by River Strand Golf and Country Club or its management company. We are not responsible for information contained in such online databases.
We may maintain our own separate databases in order to provide the services, to which you will not have online access. For example, we may maintain one or more databases of members of an association who are entitled to become and remain users of the website services. Such databases may contain information furnished by River Strand Golf and Country Club, its management company and/or members, or otherwise collected as set forth in this Online Privacy Policy. If you wish to ask us about the personally identifiable information that we may have collected about you and that is not available to you online, you should email us at [email protected]. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with your request, and to update and/or correct any personally identifiable information that is contained within such databases.
9. What security procedures are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of the information?
Access to the River Strand Golf and Country Club website services, including to databases containing personally identifiable information, is password protected. Any personal information that you have posted in any portion of the website (e.g. a message board) should be accessible only by River Strand Golf and Country Club, our management company, other members and other authorized Users of the website services. It is the responsibility of each User to protect the User's password. Do not divulge it to anyone. Log off your computer or close your browser window to ensure that others cannot access your password.
We use industry-standard software, hardware and other measures, to protect the confidentiality, security and quality of information we collect, and to protect it from unauthorized access or disclosure or accidental loss, alteration or destruction. Due to the nature of the Internet and computer security, we cannot warrant or guarantee that security will never be breached.
10. How do we protect children's privacy?
You must be 18 years of age or older to register to use the River Strand Golf and Country Club website services. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If such information is inadvertently or unknowingly collected, it is our policy to destroy or delete it upon discovery.
