Golf Article Directory strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of
Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We
may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street
address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will
never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party.
Period.
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the
activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For
example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to
certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as newsletters or
when you make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in
sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive
areas of our site. Like most Web sites, Golf Article Directory also collects
information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be
transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet
Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information
from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and
password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you
visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement
while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather
information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide
us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept
cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site
or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able
to customize the site's features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and
deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and
do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may
be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage
patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our
site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are
most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our
advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not include any
Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify you
individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
www.GolfArticleDirectory.com to communicate with you about your registration and
customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services
and products offered by www.GolfArticleDirectory.com and other topics we think
you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by Golf Article Directory may
also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of
sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with you. Certain third parties
who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting
service for example) may access such information. We will use your information
only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop
our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or
businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred
assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at
other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in
connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law
enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please
note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Golf Article Directory expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to
respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including
our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible
through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and
practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view
as part of a frame on a Golf Article Directory page, certain content that is
actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through Golf Article Directory
you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features,
contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. Golf Article Directory is not
responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check
the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing information
on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties
may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences
or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served
by third parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine
whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features available
on our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or
other technology to gather information. Golf Article Directory does not control
the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting information, and is
not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable
Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed
publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and
may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. Such
activities are beyond the control of Golf Article Directory and this policy.

Golf Article Directory does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally
Identifiable Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted by
law. If we discover we have received any information from a child under 13 in
violation of this policy, we will delete that information immediately. If you

Information collected prior to the time any change is posted will be used
according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the information was
collected.
Governing law
