It also describes KSM’s practices with respect to non-personal information, which includes tracking information collected as you navigate through this web site. We and our Business Partners may use personal information subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy and applicable law. Please note that use of this web site constitutes your acceptance of this Privacy Policy.
We collect personal information that you provide primarily to respond to your inquiries and to contact you about the services, products or other matters described on this site or the sites of our affiliates, partners, advertisers or clients, including the golf course properties we manage (collectively, “Business Partners”).
We also collect personal information to enhance your visit to this site or our Business Partners’ sites and deliver more individualized content and advertising. For example, we may use personal information to communicate with you regarding this Privacy Policy or regarding surveys, sweepstakes, contests, special events, promotions and other matters.
Personal Information may also be collected and used on our behalf by, or shared with, third party contractors we hire to assist us in the administration, hosting, operation, maintenance and/or technical support of this site or our Business Partners’ sites or by other third party contractors we retain to assist us or our Business Partners in the operation of our businesses.
We may also collect and aggregate non-personal information (information that does not personally identify you) from users of this site or our Business Partners’ sites to determine which web site pages are visited most frequently or what features are most attractive to users or for other reasons.
At any time, if you do not wish to receive e-mail from us or our Business Partners or you do not wish us to use your personal information in any way, you may “opt out” by following the instructions in the e-mail that you receive from us or our Business Partners or by contacting us as described below in the section entitled, “Opting Out.” Unless you instruct us otherwise by “opting out,” neither we nor our Business Partners are restricted in any way with regard to how we may use personal information you supply, subject to applicable law and this Privacy Policy, and we may share it with, or sell or license it to, our Business Partners or other third parties for marketing or other purposes. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, any credit card information you supply may be used and disclosed by us, our Business Partners or third party contractors solely to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with processing a transaction initiated by you, and may be retained solely for such period of time as is reasonably necessary related to any such transaction.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Privacy Policy, including any “opt out” instructions we receive from you, we may also disclose personal information without notifying you in the following circumstances: (i) in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our or our Business Partners’ legal rights or defend against legal claims; (ii) when we believe it necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our or our Business Partners’ Terms of Use, and/or to protect our or our Business Partners’ rights and property or those of others with which we do business; or (iii) when we or a Business Partner sells, buys, merges or partners with other companies or businesses, where user information may be among the transferred assets or disclosed information.
Log Files As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our or our Business Partners’ user base as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personal information, nor do we tie IP addresses to personal information.
