This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from golfhom.com (the “Site”).

We have a strong commitment to security best practices and industry standards. The most secure way for guests to pay for a vacation rental is on our Site. Guests who pay on our Site have their transaction processed directly via our respected partners at Stripe and PayPal.

We respect the rights and privacy of our users, and we expect our users to do the same vis-á-vis other businesses and individuals that they encounter on our platform. Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

- “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally when you make a purchase, attempt to make a purchase, or sign up for information services through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers and banking information) email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site-you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

As described above, we use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative's (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.

If any part of the Golfhom.com web site links you to other web sites, please know that those sites do not operate under this Privacy Policy. We recommend you examine the privacy statements posted on those other online entities to understand their procedures for collecting, using, and disclosing your personal information.

When you place an order through the Site, we will maintain your Order Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.

The Site is not intended for individuals under the age of 16.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. We will notify you about material changes to this policy by sending you notice to the e-mail address you provided in your user profile, or by placing a prominent notice on our web site.
