PRivacy policy
Your privacy is very important to GolfShoesOnly.com, Inc. (sometimes
referred to as "we", "us", or "GlobalValueCommerce"),
and we are committed to respecting your privacy on this site. In order to provide
our Services, we will require information (including address and credit card
information) regarding our Users. We will maintain the confidentiality of information
provided in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We may change this policy from time to time, and if we do we will provide
notice on this Web site regarding any changes to this policy.
1. Use of Information
GolfShoesOnly.com may provide certain demographic information it collects
to third parties in connection with its provision of this Service. The
dissemination of this information is necessary in order to provide personalized
information
and promotional offers. Except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, our
current policy is to refrain from selling, leasing, or otherwise transferring
your
personally identifiable information, however, this policy does not apply
in
all cases and this policy may be changed in the future. We describe below
some of the situations in which such information may be disclosed. GolfShoesOnly.com
will never provide our promotional affiliates with personally identifiable
information which would permit them to communicate with Users or their
employees by email unless the User "opts-in" and have not "opted-out",
pursuant to our opt-out procedure, from receiving communications. You may
have the opportunity to ask us to provide your information to these promotional
affiliates. We expect those promotional partners with whom we share information
(with consent, as provided herein) to respect the privacy of our Users
in the
same manner as we do. However, we cannot ensure that they abide by our
privacy policies. GolfShoesOnly.com, Inc. is the sole owner of information
collected
through the Service.
The information we collect may also include information
you submit about others, including the name, e-mail address or physical
address of a gift
recipient.
We only use information you submit about other people to deliver information,
products, or services specifically requested by you or to cooperate with
law enforcement officials in the investigation of alleged unlawful activities
of
our customers.
2. Information That Is Personally Identifiable
Our registration format requests certain contact information from our
Users. We collect information that is personally identifiable through
the registration
and purchasing process when processing your order. When a User completes
an order, the format will require personally identifiable information
for each
User, including:
Contact information (examples include name,
home address, email address)
Unique identifiers (examples include credit card numbers)
Demographic information (examples include zip code, telephone area code, age,
birth date, gender, income level, etc.)
The information we have obtained through this process may be used
by GolfShoesOnly.com, as well as by providers of related services,
in
connection with processing
your order. We also use contact information from the registration
format to send the User information about us and when otherwise necessary.
Such information
may also be used to assess your satisfaction with and to obtain feedback
regarding the Service we provide and to tailor the visitor's experience
while visiting
our Web site.
We may use the contact information we collect to provide, by
means other than email, information or offers which we believe
will be
of value to
Users and
their employees and we may share contact information with other
companies that may want to provide our Users, by means other
than email, information
regarding
additional products and services. We may also use the contact information
to send our Users information or offers by email which we believe
will be of value
to them and we may share email contact information with other companies
that may want to provide our Users or their employees information
regarding additional
products and services. Such contact information may be shared based
upon the demographic information we collect. Users may opt-out
of receiving future communications
at any time; see the section below regarding "Opt-out".
Finally, the information we collect will be maintained
in a file that we may need to review in a variety of other circumstances,
such as
enforcing our Terms
of Use for Users, analyzing and understanding our customers and
their needs,
and for the administration and provision of our goods and services.
As
a User of the Service, you consent to the aforementioned uses
of such information and the provision of information to service
providers that
facilitate the Service,
all in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
3. Aggregate Information
Subject to the other terms of our Privacy Policy, we may aggregate
(i.e. assemble on a basis that does not enable one to personally
identify you)
the data that
is acquired under or in connection with this site and/or
related to ordering our products and services, including, without
limitation,
data about
the products and services requested and purchased by our
Users. Aggregated data may be used
by us to improve our Service and for marketing purposes,
and may be
shared with and used by advertisers and other third parties.
We may also use
such
data to determine what types of policies are best suited
for our customers and what types of policies our customers
request.
If
we provide aggregated
data to third parties, particular personal information (including
birth date, name, title, income, home address, dependent
information and
any other identifying
information) will not be individually identifiable in the
aggregated data.
Notwithstanding anything in this privacy policy to the contrary,
GolfShoesOnly.com has contracted with third parties to provide
tracking and analysis
of information and data collected from visitors to our website.
GolfShoesOnly.com reserves
the right to provide that information and data to such third
parties for those purposes. Such information and data is
provided on a
basis that does
not enable
a third party to identify you.
Your use of the Service constitutes your consent to the use
of such data on an aggregated basis.
4. Policy on Children's Use of the Site
This Site is, generally, directed at persons over the age
of 13 who purchase items with credit cards and we do not
knowingly
collect
personal information
from or about children under the age of 13 except as relating
to a specific order for products or services. If we, at
any time, learn
that information
relating to a child under the age of 13 that we have obtained
is
other

automatically track certain information about activity on our Web
site. This information
allows us to keep our Web site running efficiently. This information
may include: the browser being used (such as Netscape, Internet Explorer,
etc.); your operating
system (such as Macintosh, Windows 98, etc.); your IP address; and
the referring URL and all company URL's you visit. We use your IP

We also may use outside advertising companies
to display
advertisements on our site. These advertisements may
also contain cookies.
Some customer data
may be shared with the advertising affiliates on an aggregated
basis in accordance with the other terms of this Privacy
Policy. Because

your hard drive, not on our Web site, you are always
free to set your browser
to decline cookies and you can delete them from your
computer. If you decline "cookies" or
delete them from your computer, you will still be able
to access our Web site, but you may find that some areas
do not work as smoothly
as when cookies are
enabled on your system.

assets, its present or future subsidiaries, joint ventures

GolfShoesOnly.com has your permission to share some
or all of your information
in order to, among
other things, facilitate continuation of one or more
services similar to all or a portion of the Service.
Notice of such
an event (to
the extent that it
takes place) will be posted on this Web site and we
will require that the
new combined entity adhere to the practices disclosed
in this Privacy Policy.

regulation, you hereby authorize us to disclose information

to judicial and administrative
proceedings, and in connection with law enforcement
activities and
as otherwise may be permitted by law, to law enforcement

We will, whenever we believe reasonably possible,
use our
reasonable
efforts
to inform
a User whose information may be so revealed.
