3. Other Information Collected.

Technical Information. When you use the Foundation Properties, we use software tools, including but not limited to cookies (small amounts of date which include a unique string of characters set to your browser or application from your website’s computers and stored on your computer’s or device’s hard drive), web beacons (technology used to track activity, also known as pixel tags) and similar technologies, to collect a variety of technical, non-personally identifiable information, for example the IP address of the computer or device used to access a Foundation Property, the type of Internet browser or operating system used to access a Foundation Property, the date and duration of a Website visit or the IP address used to access the Website. We use such technical information for internal purposes, for example to study and improve the response times of our Website, We may associate such technical information with personal information you provide to us as described in Section 1 above, in which case we will treat such associated information as personal information. Please be advised that associating technical information with personal information may be required for us, and our service providers, to recognize you and your communications with us, for example to retain your newsletter preferences or enable your use of a “shopping cart.” Customers within the EEA will be asked for consent prior to the setting of cookies.

Location Data. When you use a Foundation Property via a wireless device we may solicit your permission to collect your location data. Some features with our Applications may only function upon confirmation of your location, and therefore such features will not be available if you choose not to provide your location data to us. The specificity of the location data collected may depend on a number of factors, including the device you are using (e.g., laptop, smartphone, tablet) and how you are connected to the Internet (e.g., via cale broadband connection, Wi-Fi). If you enable locations services for our Applications, we may collect location data (e.g., zip code) periodically as you use or leave open our Applications. We use such location information for internal purpose and to improve your Foundation Property experience, for example to understand where our users are mostly successfully accessing the Foundation Properties. We may associate such location information with personal information you provide to us as described in Section 1 above, in which case we will treat such associated information as personal information. Depending on the platform you use to access our Applications (e.g., Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android) you may be able to control whether location data is collected from within “Settings” or other controls on your wireless device or the Applications.

Third Party Cookies and Web Beacons; Network Advertisers. We allow and use select Service Providers and/or Other Companies (any other company, entity, or person referred to in this policy as “Other Company” or collectively “Other Companies”) that may act as third parties as defined under applicable data privacy laws, such as those who deliver advertisements, content, or social networking or which provide other services associated with the PGA Tour, to collect data and/or serve ads when you visit Foundation Properties. We may also make available certain data you have given to us (e.g., IP address) or that we have collected through publicly available means to third parties engaged in targeting advertisements on the Foundation Properties including for use in accordance with such third party's privacy policy. Network advertisers may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to Foundation Properties in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. This may happen through permission given to such third parties to set cookies, web beacons or similar technologies in certain locations within the Foundation Properties, including but not limited to certain of our emails. Third party companies that manage and deliver advertisements to websites and applications such as ours are commonly referred to as "network advertisers." A permitted network advertiser may use cookies, web beacons or similar technologies to collect information about your interaction with the Foundation Properties in order to tailor certain advertisements and content delivered within the Foundation Properties and on other websites within such network advertiser's ad network. These companies may also use non-cookie technologies to recognize your computer or device and/or to collect and record information about your web surfing activity including your activities on or off Foundation Properties. Please keep in mind that your web browser may not permit you to block the use of these non-cookie technologies, and those browser settings that block cookies may have no effect on such techniques. You may learn more about network advertising industry practices and opt out of targeted behavioral advertising from many major third party network advertisers and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies via the information and tools available here and here.

Other Advertising. We disclose certain data to social networks (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Google +, etc.) (each a “Social Network”), to allow us to target existing users and customers with highly relevant advertising campaigns. We will not share your name, address, email address or telephone number for the purposes of such campaigns. Instead, a unique code (hashed email address) is disclosed to the applicable Social Network in order for that identifier to be matched against existing users of the relevant Social Network and to identify potentially relevant audiences for targeted advertising. We use services such as LinkedIn Matched Audiences and Facebook Custom Audiences for these purposes. If you do not wish to receive advertisements in this way, please follow the links in the paragraph above.

In addition to advertisements for our own goods and services, we may also facilitate Other Companies, including Other Companies that may act as third parties as defined under applicable data privacy laws, to advertise their own and/or Other Companies’ goods and services including by targeting those advertisements to those that might be most interested in them. This is done using information which does not include your name, address, email address or telephone number and we will not share or sell any of your personal information to third party advertisers other than as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

We may associate Device ID with personal information you provide to us as described in Section 1 above, in which case we will treat such associated information as personal information. You may opt out of any anonymous Device ID collection via the privacy settings available within your mobile device.

Video and Audiovisual Recordings. While you are present at facilities, games or events operated or controlled by Foundation or PGA, there may be video recording, including but not limited to for telecast, security, marketing, promotional or other purposes.

In addition, we may in some circumstances rely on your express consent. If you submit person information to us, or to a Service provider, via the Foundation Properties, you will be voluntarily transferring this personal information to the United States, a jurisdiction, which does not provide the same frameworks as the EEA for the protection of personal information. The same will be the case in relation to your personal information which is collected when you use Foundation Properties as specified above.

"Spyware" or "Adware" is any software which has been downloaded to or installed on an Internet user's computer or device, without the user's actual consent, and facilitates the distribution of any commercial message to the user. If you feel you may have Spyware from another company installed on your machine, there are various anti-Spyware/Adware software applications available on the Internet to identify if this has occurred.

Special Rules for Children. Because of federal law, we are not permitted to knowingly collect any personal information from a child under the age of thirteen without the consent of that child's parent or guardian. The statements in this Privacy Policy about our collection and use of personal information also apply to our treatment of personal information from children under the age of thirteen. Some elements of the Foundation Properties (e.g., shop, ticketing, and auctions) require the submission of a payment card number along with personal information in connection with a purchase; other elements of the Foundation Properties require the submission of personal information to access or use the Foundation Properties. Except in certain cases where limited contact information may be collected and not retained, these elements of the Foundation Properties are not available to children under the age of thirteen. If a child who we know to be under the age of thirteen and for whom we have not received parental consent attempts to utilize a service on the Foundation Properties which is not available to children, he/she will not be able to access it and may receive a message which relays that he/she is not eligible for such feature. For children located in jurisdictions within the EU or EEA, where this Privacy Policy refers to consent, this will require the consent of a parent or legal guardian in relation to any person under the age specified by the law applicable to the location of the child in question.
