Privacy policy
Your privacy is very important to GolfShoesOnly.com (sometimes referred to as "we",
"us", or "Golf Shoes Only, LLC"), 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 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 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.
Golf Shoes Only, LLC 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 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

right to provide that information and data to such third parties for those purposes.

the age of 13 that we have obtained is other than as set forth above, we shall immediately

information about activity on our site. This information allows us to keep our site
running efficiently. This information may include: the browser being used (such

to match particular interests.

with the advertising affiliates on an aggregated basis in accordance with the other

on our 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 site, but you may

6. Other Use
It is possible that GolfShoesOnly.com, its business and/or assets, its present or
future subsidiaries, joint ventures or any combination of such, could merge with
or be acquired in one or more types of transactions by another business entity or
entities. Should such transaction(s) occur, GolfShoesOnly.com has your permission
to share some or all of your information to, among other things, facilitate continuation
of one or more services similar to all or a portion of the Service that GolfShoesOnly.com
currently provides. Notice of such an event (to the extent that it takes place)
will be posted on this site and we will require that the new combined entity adhere
to the practices disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
7. Disclosure for Legal Purposes
Given the government's current interest in Internet regulation, you hereby authorize
us to disclose information pursuant to judicial and administrative proceedings,
and in connection with law enforcement activities and as otherwise may be permitted
by law, to law enforcement or government agencies if we believe the disclosure is
necessary or appropriate. You also authorize us to disclose information if we believe
the disclosure is necessary or appropriate in the event of an investigation of improper
or illegal conduct in connection with our site, such as fraud, misrepresentation,
intellectual-property infringement, or other activity that may put us at risk for
liability. We will, whenever we believe reasonably possible, use our reasonable
efforts to inform a User whose information may be so revealed.
8. Other Parties and Your Information

otherwise provided. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices
of promotional affiliates or other third parties to which we may provide links.
GolfShoesOnly.com does not have control over the privacy policies applied by any
other party that you may disclose information to when linking to from our site.
If you would like information on any other party's privacy policy, you should contact
that party directly, and we encourage you to do so.

of your personally identifiable information, including the use of firewalls and
SSL encryption. Despite these efforts, we cannot guarantee the security of your
