This policy covers the website at https://apparationgcc.com (the “Site”).

Apparation shall have right at any time and without prior notice, at its sole discretion, to revise this policy. Such revisions and additions shall be effective immediately upon notice, which may be given by any means, including but not limited to posting the revised or additional terms and conditions on the Site.

This policy applies to all information collected on the Site and any information you provide to Apparation. You will most likely provide personal information to us when you register as a Site user or make use of certain Apparation services. The personal information we collect may include: user ID, password, your name, your address, your email address and your phone number.  The information you submit to Apparation may also include text, photographs, video, graphics, music and any other materials you might submit as part of, or in conjunction with, your use of the Site.

The Site may include access to and use of blogs or other message areas that allow users to post information to the Site. When you post messages, other site visitors can also view them. We urge you to exercise caution when providing personally identifiable financial or other information in the blogs or other message areas. Remember that any information you disclose in these areas becomes public information.

Our Collection of Your Data

In addition to the personal information you supply, we collect certain information to evaluate how visitors, guests, and members use the Site. We collect data to make our service work better for you in the following ways: to improve the design of the Site, to provide personalization on the Site and to evaluate the performance of our marketing programs. The technologies we use to gather this non-personal information may include “IP” addresses, “cookies”, “clear gifs”, browser detection, and “weblogs”.

How we use information

Our primary goal in collecting your customer information is to provide you with a personalized, relevant, and positive experience with the Site.

You can register on the Site to receive promotions and updates, or to be contacted for market research purposes. The contact information you submit will not be used for these purposes unless you specifically “opt-in”.

From time to time, you may be invited to participate in optional customer surveys or promotions, and Apparation may request that you provide some or all of the above listed personal information in those surveys or promotions. We use information collected from surveys to learn about our customers in order to improve our services and develop new products and services of interest to our customers.

Apparation may use IP addresses, cookies, clear gifs, browser detection, and weblogs to provide a better experience on our website and to give us useful business information.

“IP” addresses define the Internet location of computers and help us better understand the geographic distribution of our members and manage the performance of the Site. “Cookies” are tiny files placed onto the hard drive of your computer when you visit the Site, so we can immediately recognize you when you return to the site and deliver content specific to your interests. You may modify your browser preferences to accept all cookies, be notified when a cookie is set, or reject all cookies. Please consult your browser instructions for information on how to modify your choices about cookies.

We may also use a technology called “clear gifs”. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with unique identifiers that are used to track emails and online movements, helping us understand what marketing campaigns and content are effective.

We may detect the type of web browser you are using to optimize the performance of our website and to understand the mix of browsers used by our visitors, guests, and members. To learn about how people use our site, we examine weblogs, which show the paths people take through our site and how long they spend in certain areas.

Our Commitment to Data Security

Access to your data is limited to registered users of our service, Apparation staff or approved vendors. Although total security does not exist on the Internet, Apparation shall make commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the information that you submit to Apparation.

Apparation Communications

When you sign up as a registered Apparation user, you may elect to have Apparation provide you with marketing communications such as e-mail newsletters, product and service updates and promotions. Our customers generally find this type of information useful. If you do not want to continue to receive such communications, you can select the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any marketing communication email and follow the opt-out instructions.

We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to us, including, without limitation, website hosting and maintenance, customer relationship management, database storage and management, and direct marketing campaigns. We will share your personally identifiable information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these functions and provide such services, and only pursuant to binding contractual obligations requiring such third parties to maintain the privacy and security of your data.

Aggregate, Non-Personally Identifiable Information

We aggregate data for reporting and analysis to understand, for example, the total number of users performing certain activities on the site or the total number of rounds of golf played at certain golf facilities. We may use this aggregate, non-personally identifiable information for any purpose and may distribute this information to any of our service providers, customers or business partners in our sole discretion.

Disclosure of Information

We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process. It is also possible that Apparation would sell all or substantially all of its assets and business. In any transaction of this kind, customer information, including your personally identifiable information, may be among the assets that are transferred. If we decide to so transfer your personally identifiable information, you will be notified by email or by a post to the Site.
