What Information Is Collected?

At GolfPunkOnline.com, it's our policy to create a website that requires minimum collection of information from our visitors. From time to time, however, we may request limited personal information (e.g. a visitor's e-mail address and/or e-mail address of parent or third party), as explained below, in order to conduct online contests or sweepstakes or offer other online activities (such as e-mail announcements of upcoming GolfPunkOnline.com and GolfPunk Magazine information). GolfPunkOnline.com does not require any visitor to provide personal information in order to visit the website; we gather such data only when it is reasonably necessary to participate in an activity. As explained below, we also collect from parents additional types of information (e.g., credit card and billing information) when they purchase products and offerings at our site.

Signing up for E-mail Announcements

GolfPunkOnline.com offers visitors the opportunity to sign up to receive periodic e-mail announcements regarding GolfPunkOnline.com and GolfPunk Magazine. When a child under age 13 asks to receive our e-mail newsletter, the child is asked to provide his or her first name, e-mail address and the e-mail address of his or her parent. Within two business days of receiving this information, we send the child's parent notification e-mail informing him or her of the child's request to receive by e-mail announcements from GolfPunkOnline.com. At that point, we give the parent the option to have his or her child's information be removed from the GolfPunkOnline.com e-mail database. At any time after receiving this notification e-mail, the child's parent has the opportunity to exercise the option to request that we remove the child from the GolfPunkOnline.com mailing list by following the "unsubscribe" instructions found in either their initial notification e-mail or at the end of any of the GolfPunkOnline.com e-mails.

All personal information collected for GolfPunkOnline.com is used only to send visitors e-mail announcements. If necessary, it may be transferred, disclosed, or shared with third parties engaged by us specifically to handle the preparation and delivery of such announcements. These third parties may not use it for other purposes and will be under strict orders to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

Contests and Sweepstakes

GolfPunkOnline.com occasionally offers contests and sweepstakes, which may be entered online. To participate in a contest or sweepstakes, a user is asked to provide his or her first name and e-mail address. Sometimes, when we conduct contests or sweepstakes that may involve more than a one-time contact, we ask additionally for the e-mail address of a child's parent. In such types of contests or sweepstakes, we send the child's parent an e-mail within two business days informing him or her of the child's entry and give the parent the option to have the child's entry deleted. All the information collected by GolfPunkOnline.com is securely maintained and used only for the purpose of conducting the contest or sweepstakes. Once the contest or sweepstakes is finished, we then delete any personal information collected. If necessary, the information collected in a GolfPunkOnline.com sweepstakes may be passed to a fulfillment house which may use the information to help run the contest or sweepstakes and may not use it for other purposes and has agreed to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

Use of Information

GolfPunkOnline.com uses or may use personally identifiable information that visitors provide for such purposes as sending e-mail announcements and conducting contests or sweepstakes, and responding to their questions regarding our products and services.

When customers make purchases on GolfPunkOnline.com, they will be redirected to a third-party fulfillment company. We require customers to provide us with their full name, billing and/or shipping addresses, e-mail address, and credit card number/expiration date. If customers do not complete the order process (e.g., fail to enter a valid credit card number/expiration date or fail to complete a purchase transaction) the information customers submitted during the order process will not be captured by our systems. Once customers have successfully entered a valid credit card number/expiration date and completed the order process, an account will be created and maintained for customers. We use this information to process the customer's order and to send order confirmations via e-mail but we do not sell, transfer or share the information with third parties except, the information is transferred, disclosed and shared with our third party agent who uses the information solely to handle and manage fulfillment and customer service, but can not use it for other purposes and has agreed to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

Other than a parental e-mail address, GolfPunkOnline.com does not request that users submit any personal information online for customer service inquiries. We may, however, ask for additional non-personal information to better help us respond to customer service questions. We use the parental e-mail address to communicate directly with parents about technology-related questions, and provide them with answers that they and their child may find helpful. We do not sell, transfer or share the parental e-mail address with third parties, with the exception that the information may be transferred, disclosed and shared with a third party agent who uses the information solely to handle and manage customer service, but cannot use it for other purposes and has agreed to maintain the confidentiality of such information. Once we, or our third party agent, have had a chance to provide e-mail responses to customer service e-mail questions, the parental e-mail address is deleted from our system.
