This document sets forth the Battery Golf Buggies Online Privacy Policy (the "Privacy
Policy") for this Web site, www.batterygolf.com (the "Site"). If you have
objections to the Privacy Policy, you should not access or use this Site.
This Privacy Policy does not govern privacy practices associated with
offline activities or other Battery Golf Buggies web sites.
Changes in Privacy Policy
All "personal information" ("personal information" is defined as any information
that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person
to whom such information pertains) that we collect and maintain will be
subject to the version of the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of
such collection. Battery Golf Buggies reserves the right to change the
Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion, and will provide
notice of material changes on the home page of the Site. If as the result
of such changes, you want to alter the ways in which Battery Golf Buggies
is allowed to use your personal information, you can do so by following
the procedure described below in the section titled "Updating your personal
information and privacy preferences." You will be deemed to have been
made aware of, and will be subject to, the changes to the Privacy Policy
by your continued use of the Site after such notice has been posted for
thirty (30) days with the following exception: If at the time you provide
personal information to Battery Golf Buggies you are given the opportunity
(as you currently are) to limit how such information will be used to communicate
with you, either by Battery Golf Buggies or by third parties, Battery
Golf Buggies will not change your preference in this regard without your
express consent. However, if Battery Golf Buggies sells assets (or the
assets of a division or subsidiary) to another entity, or Battery Golf
Buggies (or a division or subsidiary) is acquired by, or merged with,
another entity, Battery Golf Buggies may provide to such entity customer
information that is related to that part of our business that was sold
to or merged with the other entity without your consent.
Entities collecting personal information
Personal information on this Site is collected by Battery Golf Buggies.
The Site contains links to other sites at which personal information
is collected. In such instances, unless expressly provided to the contrary,
the collection and use of your personal information will be governed by
the privacy policy applicable to that site. That privacy policy should
identify the entity that is collecting your personal information.
Collection of personal information
As a visitor to this Site, you can engage in many activities without providing
any personal information. In connection with other activities, such as
subscribing to the collaboration services offered on the Site or utilizing
online software applications, Battery Golf Buggies may ask you to provide
certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online
form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities.
If you elect to engage in these activities, however, Battery Golf Buggies
may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and
last name, mailing address (including post code), e-mail address, employer,
job title and department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal
information. When ordering products or services on the Site, you may be
asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some
of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory
and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect
to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
When you use the Site, Battery Golf Buggies or third parties authorized by Battery Golf Buggies may also collect certain technical and routing information about
your computer to facilitate your use of the Site and its services. For
example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser type, operating
system, CPU speed, and the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of your computer.
We use these environmental variables to facilitate and track your use
of the Site and its services. Battery Golf Buggies also uses such environmental variables
to measure traffic patterns on the Site. Without expressly informing you
in each particular circumstance, we do not match such information with
any of your personal information.
When you submit personal information to Battery Golf Buggies through this Site,
you understand and agree that this information may be transferred across
national boundaries and may be stored and processed in any of the countries
in which Battery Golf Buggies and its affiliates and subsidiaries maintain offices,
including, without limitation. You also acknowledge that in certain countries
or with respect to certain activities, the collection, transferring, storage,
and processing of your information may be undertaken by trusted vendors
of Battery Golf Buggies. Such vendors are bound by contract not to use your personal
information for their own purposes or provide it to any third parties.
One instance where this could occur is in conjunction with framed pages
in which the URL for the pages is not visible and the pages are being
hosted by a vendor of Battery Golf Buggies.
Battery Golf Buggies has established relationships with various service providers
whose services are available to you from this Site or from Web sites that
are linked to this Site. Typically, these providers offer services that
Battery Golf Buggies customers might find useful, such as those that can be used
in conjunction with Battery Golf Buggies services and products. In order to use those
services, you may be required to provide personal information to the providers.
Unless expressly provided to the contrary, personal information that you
provide while you are visiting a provider's Web site will be subject to
the privacy policy posted on such site, and personal information that
you provide while on this Site in conjunction with a provider's service
will be subject to this Privacy Policy. You should be aware that our agreements
with these service providers often provide that they will share with Battery Golf Buggies personal information collected from you. In such instances, Battery Golf Buggies may use this information in a manner consistent with this Privacy
Policy. In the situation where sites have an Battery Golf Buggies "look and feel,"
and you reasonably believe you are on an Battery Golf Buggies site, the site is collecting
information in a solely intermediary capacity and does not use personal
information for secondary purposes.
How your personal information is used
Battery Golf Buggies collects your information in order to record and
support your participation in the activities you select. If you subscribe
to a service or register a product, for example, the information is used
to register your rights, if any, to technical support or other benefits
that may be made available to registered users. As another example, if
you enter a contest, information is collected to qualify the entry and
contact you regarding the contest or prize awards. Your personal information
is also used to keep you informed about product upgrades, special offers,
and other products and services of Battery Golf Buggies and selected third
parties if you have so opted to receive such communications.
Battery Golf Buggies may collect information about the use of the Site, such as
the types of services used and how many users we receive daily. This information
is collected in aggregate form, without identifying any user individually.
Battery Golf Buggies may use this aggregate, non-identifying statistical data for
statistical analysis, marketing, or similar promotional purposes.
Your choices with respect to personal information
Battery Golf Buggies recognizes and appreciates the importance of responsible use
of information collected on this Site. Without your consent, Battery Golf Buggies
will not communicate any information to you regarding products, services,
and special offers available from Battery Golf Buggies, although we may find it necessary
to communicate with you regarding your use of the services on this Site.
Except in the particular circumstances described in this Privacy Policy,
Battery Golf Buggies will also not provide your name to other companies or organizations
without your consent.
There are other instances in which Battery Golf Buggies may divulge your personal
information. Battery Golf Buggies may provide your personal information if necessary,
in Battery Golf Buggies's good faith judgment, to comply with laws or regulations
of a governmental or regulatory body or in response to a valid subpoena,
warrant, or order or to protect the rights of Battery Golf Buggies or others.
Protection of your personal information
The personal information that you provide in connection with registering
yourself as a user of Battery Golf Buggies products or services or registering
an Battery Golf Buggies product is classified as Registration Information.
Registration Information is protected in several ways. Access by you to
your Registration Information is available through a password and unique
customer ID selected by you. This password is encrypted. We recommend
that you do not divulge your password to anyone. In addition, your Registration
Information resides on a secure server that only selected Battery Golf
Buggies personnel and contractors have access to via password. Battery
Golf Buggies encrypts your personal information and thereby strives to
prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is
transmitted to Battery Golf Buggies.
Personal information that you provide that does not constitute Registration
Information also resides on a secure server and is only accessible to
selected Battery Golf Buggies personnel and contractors via password. Since this
information is not accessible by you, you will not be asked to select
a password in order to view or modify such information.
Please note that any information you post to a public bulletin board
or chat room, such as the Battery Golf Buggies User to User Forums (the "Forums"),
is available to all persons accessing that location. Your e-mail address
will not automatically be posted on the Forums unless you modify the default
setting to permit that. Your e-mail address would then be available to
all persons accessing the Forums. In addition, you should be aware that
the Forums offers a service in which subscribers are e-mailed a copy of
all messages posted to the Forums on a particular topic. Consequently,
if you post a message to the Forums, your e-mail address will be sent
to those subscribers that have indicated an interest in the topic of your
message.
