It is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy carefully, especially before providing any personal information at our physical locations or locations where our products or services are installed (“Locations”) or through any website or our mobile applications (collectively, “Sites”).
PLEASE REVIEW THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOUR USE OF THE SITES SIGNIFIES YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT:
Personal information collected about you includes your name and address, birth date, telephone number and email address, and other information we maintain about you when you visit our Locations and voluntarily contact us through our Sites, including information you provide on sign-up and membership registration pages, surveys, or other submission and/or purchases through our Sites. We also collect certain personal information through your use of a mobile device, such as smartphones, tablets and iPads. This information may include your mobile device identifier, device type and IP address.
HOW PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT IS USED:
The personal information collected is combined with other information collected about you and is used and disclosed in a number of ways by us, to help us better understand and serve our customers, including:
- Providing you with, or otherwise responding to your requests for, information and/or services, including but not limited to e-newsletters, marketing programs, forward-to-a-friend or other options in our marketing programs;
- Providing you with information about new products or services, events at our Locations, events that Chicago School of Golf sponsors, including contests, sweepstakes and surveys, and other special offers and marketing programs, which may include information about partner companies or other programs any of us or them are involved with;

- Conducting research and analysis and to otherwise measure the effectiveness of our online and offline marketing efforts and to develop products, services and marketing programs;
- Coordinating program activities and communications with other marketing programs conducted by us.
Although the sections above describe our primary purpose in collecting your information, in many situations we have more than one purpose. For example, if you complete an online purchase we may collect your information to perform our obligations to you, but we also collect your information as we have a legitimate interest in maintaining your information after your transaction is complete so that we can quickly and easily respond to any questions about your order. As a result, our collection and processing of your information is based in different contexts upon your consent, our need to perform a contract, our obligations under law, and/or our legitimate interest in conducting our business.
We do not sell or rent to third parties any of the personal information that you provide to us through our Sites or at our Locations, or authorize any of our suppliers to sell or rent any such personal information, and we do not authorize any of our suppliers to make independent use of your personal information for their own purposes, including but not limited to direct marketing.
All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
