PlayLocalGolf knows that you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By visiting the PlayLocalGolf website, you are accepting the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy covers PlayLocalGolf's treatment of personal information that PlayLocalGolf gathers when you are on the PlayLocalGolf website (the Site ) and when you use PlayLocalGolf services (collectively the Service ).

This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that PlayLocalGolf does not own or control, or to individuals that PlayLocalGolf does not employ or manage.

What Personal Information About Users Does PlayLocalGolf Collect?

Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a friendly, customized, and efficient experience. We collect the following types of information from our users:

1. Information You Provide to Us:

We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features. The personal information we collect includes:

* Registration: In order for you to use certain PlayLocalGolf services, such as managing your golf facility page, you must complete a registration form including your full name and email address.

* User Content: You may create your own golf facility page and publish your own own articles on the Service and comment on the articles of others (collectively your "User Content").

2. Automatic Information:

* We receive and store certain types of non-personally identifiable information whenever you interact with us. PlayLocalGolf automatically receives and records certain "traffic data" on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, PlayLocalGolf cookie information, and the page you requested.

* PlayLocalGolf may display a counter on any page indicating the total number of times that page has been viewed. This includes member profile pages.

* Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our website are visited and by how many people. PlayLocalGolf cookies do not collect personal information, and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information to tell us who you are or what your screen name or email address is.

The "help" portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies , how to command the browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. You may choose to disable or reject cookies when using the Service, but you may not be able to access some of PlayLocalGolf's most attractive features.

Some of our business partners may use cookies on our website (for example, advertisers). PlayLocalGolf has no access to or control over these cookies.

* If you choose to provide posts from your blog via PlayLocalGolf, we may ask you to paste confirmation code into the external template of your blog that communicates with us to authenticate the blog as an authorized feed and places a badge on your blog identifying you as a PlayLocalGolf Affiliate.

How Does PlayLocalGolf Use My Information?

* Profile information: PlayLocalGolf allows other users to browse your full name, playing stats and personal or company URL within your member profile should you provide this optional information.

* Social sharing of User Content: PlayLocalGolf allows other users to browse articles that you have written, edited, or commented on or your playing stats. This information is made available via your member profile or within the article which you performed the action on. PlayLocalGolf may choose to post this data on other site features in the future.

* Syndication: PlayLocalGolf allows for the RSS syndication of all of its public content within the website.

* API: PlayLocalGolf may allow third parties access to all PlayLocalGolf data that is already publicly available through PlayLocalGolf.com through an application program interface that allows other programs to interact with the Site. PlayLocalGolf will keep passwords and blog settings private.

* Traffic data: PlayLocalGolf uses this traffic data, including information gathered from cookies, to help diagnose problems with our servers, analyze trends, research the market for our services, and administer the website.

Will PlayLocalGolf Share Any of the Information it Receives?

We will not rent nor sell your personal information to anyone. We share your personal information only as described below.

* Providing the PlayLocalGolf Service: PlayLocalGolf personnel may have access to user information while carrying out their duties in the normal course of PlayLocalGolf business. PlayLocalGolf may share your personally identifiable information with third parties solely for the purpose of providing services to you. If we do this, such third parties use of your information will be bound by this Privacy Policy. We may store personal information in locations outside the direct control of PlayLocalGolf (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers).

* Business Transfers: As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or dissolution. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in our Privacy Policy.

* Protection of PlayLocalGolf and Others: We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with the law; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of PlayLocalGolf, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

* With Your Consent: Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your personal information may be shared with third parties or used for a purpose incompatible with the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, and you will be able to prevent the sharing of this information by opting out.

* Only PlayLocalGolf employees who need personal information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to it. All of our employees are kept up to date on our privacy and security practices.

* PlayLocalGolf uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to PlayLocalGolf and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, PlayLocalGolf makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
