Any time you visit a Web site, you may be providing information about yourself to the site's owner or operator. We, like you, value privacy, so we want you to learn what you need to know to protect your personal privacy. When you visit or supply information to any Web site, it's a good idea for you to first understand the site's privacy policies. If the site owner doesn't tell you, don't hesitate to ask.
The bottom line at our Web site is that we use information that we get from your visit to enable you to participate in and take advantage of the various programs and features presented here and to make the site useful and interesting to you. We do not use the information that we collect for any other purpose, nor do we share it with any affiliate or third party, except those specifically under contract with Double Vigil Golf Classic to collect information for primary uses only.
Applicability of this privacy policy
This privacy policy applies only to the information that we collect on dvgc.org and not to any information collected through other methods or sources, including sites owned or operated organizations contracted with Double Vigil Golf Classic. When visiting other Web sites that are not owned or operated by Double Vigil Golf Classic, please review the privacy policy for those sites.
Notice
What personal information we collect and how we use it
While you can browse our site without providing personal information, you will need to input certain personal information as indicated on specific pages of our site in order to take advantage of certain features, such as registering for events or purchasing merchandise. Use of the Double Vigil Golf Classic site is voluntary, and your use constitutes your consent for the information provided to be stored and used in order for Double Vigil Golf Classic to fulfill its contracted agreements to provide event registration and other similar services.
Browsing and the use of cookies and logs
When you visit the Double Vigil Golf Classic site we use "cookies" to store your user session while you are logged on to our website. A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. Cookies are required to use this site.
While our web servers automatically log the IP/Internet address of your computer, we do not use this information other than to protect ourselves and our members against fraud and illegal activity. We do not use cookies to "remember" the user logon credentials you use to sign on to the site. The cookies we use are "session only" cookies and are removed when your visit to our site ends.
We also use standard web server log files to help us count visitors and evaluate our site's technical capacity. This information tells us how many people visit the site, and helps us decide how to arrange pages in the most user-friendly way. It also helps us keep the site browser-friendly and more useful to our visitors. We record information on site traffic, but not on individual visitors to our site, so no personal information about you will be kept or used.
Email, mailing lists, and other services
When you send us an email, we use your email address to thank you for your comment and/or reply to your question. We store your communication and our reply in case we correspond further. Beyond our initial reply, we will not use your email address to send you any unsolicited message or information, nor will we share it with, or sell it to, anyone else for such use, other than as specified in this policy.
When you request information or services, we use your email address and any other information you give us to provide you with the information or services you've requested until you ask us to stop (by using "unsubscribe" instructions provided on each email and/or the Web site where you signed up and/or as we otherwise provide), or until the information or service is no longer available. We will not use your email address or other information to provide you with any unsolicited message or information (unless the message or information is part of the service you are requesting).
Links to other sites
Please remember that when you use a link to go from the Double Vigil Golf Classic site to another Web site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. Your browsing and interaction on any third party's Web site, including any site that has a link on our site, is subject to the rules and policies of that site. We encourage you to read the rules and policies of the sites you visit to better understand their procedures for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information.
Our policy regarding selling or renting of personal information
Our policy is simple: we do not sell or rent your personal information to any third parties under any circumstances.
Disclosure of personal information for legal purposes and protection of Double Vigil Golf Classic and others
We reserve the right to share your personal information with third parties if required to do so by law, or if we believe such action is necessary in order to: (a) conform to the requirements of the law or comply with legal process served upon us; (b) protect or defend our legal rights or property, the Double Vigil Golf Classic site, or our users; or (c) investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or violations of the terms and conditions for using the site.
Security
How we protect the security of your personal information
The security of your personal information is very important to us, and we are committed to protecting the information we collect. The site uses firewalls and Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") to transport all personal data we collect from you. We also employ many different security techniques to protect personal data against loss, misuse, alteration, and unauthorized access. But we cannot guarantee perfect security of your personal information.
When you send confidential personal information to us on our website, such as credit card information, member name, or user ID and passkey, secure server software that we have licensed encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches our website using Secure Socket Layers (SSL) and the Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS). By default, when signed on or making a payment, all communication with us is encrypted.
We also use encrypted communications to transmit information between us and our service providers. For example, to process credit card payments we have a secure connection to our payment processor.
For software, secure communications, and service providers we only use well-known and established companies generally recognized a leader in their field. For example, we use Paypal Pro for payment processing, one of the most reliable payment processors in the industry.
We do not store or maintain highly sensitive information. This information includes social security and credit card numbers. Where we are required to collect this information to fulfill a product or service, we immediately pass it on to the service provider.
To safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we collect from unauthorized access or disclosure our servers are housed behind a firewall in secure, restricted access facilities with 24-hour surveillance provided by Rochen, Inc. Only named and authorized representatives of Rochen, Inc. can physically access our servers. Detailed information about our web provider's facilities can be found at https://www.rochen.com/company/.
