Raspberry Golf Trail Privacy Policy

Last Modified on December 31, 2021

This privacy policy covers how Raspberry Golf Trail LLC (i.e. “RGT”) collects, uses, discloses, stores and transfers your personal information.  It applies to our website, www.raspberrygolftrail.com, the RGT web application, and the tablets located at RGT participating golf courses (all three, the “Website/App”).  Please take a moment to review our privacy practices and contact us if you have any questions.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

Personal information is data that can be used to identify or contact a single person.

Website/App

We collect personal information when you register to use our Website/App (i.e., complete a user profile and pay, thus becoming a “Player”). We obtain this information directly from you when you provide it.

When you become a Player, you may be required to provide personal information including your mobile phone number, email address, name, age (because participation in our program is limited to persons 18 years or older), and credit or debit card information.  We may require this information to provide our service.

We may also request additional information about you such as the name of participating golf course that you play, which you will not be required to provide, but which we may use to compensate golf courses participating in our program and to enhance the user experience.

You may also provide us with information (i) if you contact us through the Website/App, or (ii) if we conduct and you respond to surveys for research purposes.

When you use the Website/App, our technology may also collect data about your mobile device and internet connection, including the device’s unique device identifier, IP address, operating system, and mobile network connection.  We may also collect and maintain tracking data, logs and other communication data about your interactions with the Website/App.

The Website/App may also automatically collect real-time location information about users, either by using the location services functionality of your mobile device or Bluetooth or wi-fi beacon technology, or by scanning a QR code.

Like many websites and apps, we may use “cookies”, which are small text files that are stored on your computer or equipment when you visit certain online pages that record your preferences and actions. We may also use cookies to monitor traffic, improve our Website/App and make it easier and/or relevant for your use. Like many websites and apps, we may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to record your preferences, track the use of our Website/App and your interaction with our advertisements. We may also use these technologies to monitor traffic, improve our Website/App, services and features, and make it easier and more relevant for you. We also use cookies to:

  • remind us who you are and to find your account information in our database when you access our Website/App, service or feature so you do not need to log in at every visit, which helps us to provide you with service tailored to your specific needs and interests. A cookie may be created when you register for a service;
  • determine the browser you are using so the Website/App, services and features work properly;
  • assist us with sending you periodic communications e-mail newsletters;
  • generate analytics regarding your use of our Website/App; and
  • estimate our audience size by determining whether your visit is your first.

We may use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. We do not use flash cookies, web storage, web beacons or other technologies that track your browsing history across multiple website or apps.

We may also use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), on our Website/App. Google Analytics uses cookies or other tracking technologies to help us analyze how users interact with and use the Website/App, services and features, compile reports on the related activities, and provide other services related to Website/App activity and usage. The technologies used by Google may collect information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are a return visitor, and any referring website or app. The Website/App, services and features do not use Google Analytics to gather information that personally identifies you. The information generated by Google Analytics will be transmitted to and stored by Google and will be subject to Google’s privacy policies. To learn more about Google’s partner services and to learn how to opt out of tracking of analytics by Google click here.

We may partner with third party advertising companies to better provide advertisements about our goods and services that may be of interest to you. These third-party advertisers may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our Website/App. They may collect information about your online activities over time and across different website or apps, or other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based advertising or other targeted content. These online advertising partners do not have access to, or the ability to use personal information from us without your consent. They may, however, use persistent identifiers to anonymously track your Internet usage across other websites and applications over which we have no control. We restrict their further use of any personal information they might receive from us, they may, with sufficient data from other sources, be able to personally identify you, without us knowing or having the ability to control.

Third-party ad serving companies and other unaffiliated advertisers may also display advertisements on our Website/App, services and features. As part of their service, they may place a separate cookie on your computer or utilize other data collection and tracking technologies, to collect information such as your IP address, browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with your server, and whether you responded to a particular advertisement. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies, how they may be used, or the information they may collect, and we are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of those third parties.

Some of the third-party advertisers that may place tracking tools on our Website/App, services and features are members of programs that offer you additional choices regarding the collection and use of your information. You can learn more about the options available to limit the collection and use of your information by these third parties by visiting the websites for Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance, as well as the webpages for Facebook’s ad preferences tool and privacy policy.

You can also learn about your options to opt-out of website or app tracking by certain advertising networks through your device settings. For more information about how to change these settings for Apple, Android or Windows devices, see:

Website/Apple: http://support.Website/Apple.com/kb/HT4228;

Android: http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/ ; and

Windows: http://choice.microsoft.com/en-US/opt-out

Please note that opting-out of advertising networks services does not mean that you will not receive advertising while using our Website/App, services or features or on other websites or apps, nor will it prevent the receipt of interest-based advertising from third parties that do not participate in these programs. It will, however, exclude you from interest-based advertising conducted through participating networks, as provided by their policies and choice mechanisms.

Your browser or device may include “Do Not Track” functionality. Because a “Do Not Track” compliance protocol has not yet been finalized, RGT’s information collection and disclosure practices, and the choices that we provide to customers, will continue to operate as described in this Privacy Policy, whether or not a Do Not Track signal is received.

If You delete your cookies or if you set your browser or device to decline these technologies, some functions of the Website/App, services or features may not function at all, or may not function as designed.
