This page describes our policy with regard to online privacy and explains how you can opt out of certain uses and disclosures of your personal information. As a courtesy, this page may also provide useful links to third party sites or information. However, TMaG do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy and/or completeness of such third party content, or your use thereof.

Should we make any substantial changes in the way we collect and/or use any personal information we will amend this Privacy Policy, or we may email you if you have not opted out of email notifications.

Website
This Privacy Policy applies only to Website. Links within this site could direct you to third party websites that are not owned or controlled by TMaG. TMaG has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party websites, which may employ cookies and/or collect personal information. In addition, TMaG will not and cannot censor or edit the content of any third party site. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Website, and to read the privacy policy of each website that you visit. The websites of TMaG affiliates may have their own privacy policies that differ from this one.

What Type of Personal Information Do We Collect and Use?
Whenever you register or apply to register on the Website, send us an email, purchase products from the Website, enter to win a contest, subscribe to one of our newsletters, or otherwise transmit information via the Website, TMaG may obtain and collect personally identifiable contact information (expressed herein generally as "personal information") such as your name, email address, payment information (i.e. credit card number/expiration date), and/or mailing address, subject to your ability to "opt-out" of our future use or disclosure of such information.

Personal Information Maintenance & Opt-Out
If you wish to opt-out of our use and/or disclosure of your personal information, other than as expressly covered in this Privacy Policy and/or to process any purchase orders, you will generally have the option to do so when you first submit your personal information via the Website. Simply indicate your desire to opt-out by checking or un-checking the appropriate box. If you wish to amend or delete any personal information you have previously provided without opt-out, please send us a message at customer.service@tmagcompanystore.com. We will endeavor to provide a simple way to review, correct, update or remove personal information you have given us. If you wish to stop receiving a TMaG newsletter that you have previously subscribed for, please follow the "unsubscribe" instructions contained at the bottom of each newsletter.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, employees of TaylorMade-adidas Golf or its subsidiaries may not submit their business email accounts to opt out of receiving email communications from TaylorMade-adidas Golf or TMaG.

How Do We Use Personal Information?
TMaG will never disclose your email address to third parties for use in connection with any email marketing campaign of a third party or business partner (excluding parent, subsidiary, or sister companies of TMaG).

TMaG may always use personal information in the following ways:

  • to enable us to respond to you generally, or to process, validate and verify requests and/or purchase orders
  • to perform any services requested by you
  • to compile and/or distribute aggregate - never individual - information about our website users and aggregate usage patterns
  • to provide our own website designers with useful information for developing new features and services that meet your needs
  • to tailor your experience on our Website, showing you content we think might interest you or altering the content according to your personal preferences
  • to investigate suspicious activity on TMaG websites
  • as part of an online employment application to evaluate your qualifications only
  • when legally ordered to do so by a lawful subpoena or court order
  • if you violate or breach an agreement with TMaG
  • if we believe you will harm the property or rights of TMaG or those of its customers
  • under exigent circumstances to protect the physical safety of TMaG or its employees, users or the general public
  • to validate credit card numbers for charging for fee services

If you have not "opted-out" of our use and disclosure of your personal information, TMaG may use personal information for all marketing and survey purposes on behalf of itself and its affiliates. TMaG may also use such information in connection with direct mail and other campaigns (excluding email campaigns) of third parties. TMaG may appoint third party agents in connection with such marketing and survey efforts, subject to a confidentiality agreement concerning the personal information.

If you have "opted-out", TMaG will use or disclose your personal information only as stated above, or: (1)

Yahoo! Merchant Solutions and UPS
Yahoo! Merchant Solutions hosts portions of the Website and uses UPS services to help fulfill orders and provide order status information. Yahoo! hosts the online store pages, ordering system, order and other data required to process your order. Yahoo! may collect information pursuant to its own privacy policy, which you can access at Yahoo! Privacy Policy for more information about how Yahoo! uses this information. You can similarly access UPS’ privacy policy at UPS Privacy Policy. TMaG disclaims any and all liability arising out of Yahoo!’s or UPS’ use or disclosure of any personal information, as well as any actual or alleged breach of any third-party privacy policies.

Aggregate Information
TMaG may share aggregate statistical information with business partners, sponsors or other third parties, but none of them receive individual identifying information about you. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of visitors visited a certain area on a website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out registration forms, but we would not disclose anything that uniquely identifies those individuals.

Unsolicited Emails Received by You
Except for the business email accounts of employees of TaylorMade-adidas Golf and its subsidiaries, TMaG does not send unsolicited bulk emails to anyone who has requested in writing that we do not contact them. We send our newsletters only to those who have taken affirmative steps to subscribe. If you have inadvertently received one of our newsletters, or if you simply wish to stop receiving them, please follow the "unsubscribe" instructions contained in each newsletter or send a request to be unsubscribed to abuse@tmag.com.

Chat Rooms and Forums
The Website may now or in the future include chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups. Any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information. You should exercise caution before disclosing your personal information via these public venues, which you do at your own risk. If you do so, you may receive unsolicited emails or "spam" from others. TMaG cannot safeguard the privacy of personal information that is disclosed online in this manner.

Our Cookies
Your browser software includes a feature called "cookies." If enabled, cookies may store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to any of the Website. However, cookies tell us nothing about you personally unless you specifically give us additional information. Cookies assist us in tracking which of our features you like best and what content you may have viewed during past visits. When you re-visit the Website, cookies can enable us to customize our content according to your preferences. We may use cookies, among other things, to:

  • keep count of return visits to the Website
  • accumulate and report anonymous, aggregate, statistical information on Website usage
  • deliver content specific to your interests or past viewing history
  • save your password so you don’t have to re-enter it each time you visit our Website or use specific functionality.

You can also disable cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you can accept or reject all cookies, or request a notification when a cookie is set. Please note that the Website may not function properly if you disable our cookies and our JavaScript code.

P3P (Platform for Privacy Preference) Conformance
To the best of our ability, our cookies fully conform to the emerging P3P privacy standard, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium. P3P provides a simple, automated way for users to control the use of personal information. Newer browsers like Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 conform to the P3P standard. At its most basic level, P3P is a standardized set of multiple-choice questions, covering all the major aspects of a website’s privacy policy. Taken together, they present a clear snapshot of how a site handles personal information. P3P-enabled browsers can "read" this snapshot automatically and compare it to the consumer’s own set of privacy preferences. P3P places privacy policies where users can find them, in a form users can understand, and, most importantly, enables users to act on what they see.

IP Addresses
TMaG may store and record the Internet Protocol ("IP") addresses of visitors to the Website. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. An Internet Service Providers ("ISP") typically assigns a random IP addresses at the time of your dial-up. For local area network ("LAN"), DSL, or cable modem users, an IP address may be permanently assigned to a particular computer. We cannot determine your identity solely based upon your IP address. Your IP address can, however, reveal what geographic area you are connecting from, or which ISP you are using. Finally, other websites you visit have IP addresses, and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages, but these IP addresses are never associated with Internet users.

Web Beacons
The Website contains electronic images (called a "single-pixel gif" or "web beacon") that allow us to count page views or to access cookies. In general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page, including an ad banner, can act as a web beacon. Web beacons are small in order not to use valuable space on the computer screen that is better used to display helpful content. We may also include web beacons in HTML-formatted newsletters containing graphics that we send to opt-in subscribers, so we may count the number of newsletters that have been opened and read. Our web beacons do not collect, gather, monitor, or share any personal information about our anonymous website visitors. However, if you have registered on one of the Website, we may use the web beacon and cookies to monitor your online behavior and interests on the Website.

Computer Profiles
TMaG may also collect and accumulate other anonymous data that helps us understand and analyze the Internet experience of our visitors. For example, we may accumulate visitor data relating to referring domain names, the type of browsers used, operating system software, screen resolutions, color capabilities, browser plug-ins, language settings, cookie preferences, search engine keywords and JavaScript enablement. If you do not register on one of the Website, none of this information is personally identifiable.

Security
The Website uses physical, electronic and managerial security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of information under our control.

  • We use Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") connections with 128-bit encryption for certain transactions and confidential data. When you use a secure browser, all information you submit comes to us over the Internet in an encrypted form. Every secure page uses a digital certificate issued by a third-party certification authority. A "site certificate" sits on all secure pages. To view this certificate, click on the image of the closed lock or the solid key on the bottom bar of your browser window.
  • We monitor system and application activity logs to identify any unusual activity from authorized and/or unauthorized individuals accessing our systems and/or making changes to stored information. We regularly perform preventative system maintenance and monitoring to ensure the security of our data systems.
  • We maintain our servers in locked facilities with secure access. Backup tapes are retrieved daily and stored by an independent company in a secure, off-site location.

The Website requires you to set up a user ID and password. We recommend you do not divulge your password to anyone. TMaG will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited telephone call or email.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. You can report network abuse and any risk of security violations to us by emailing abuse@tmag.com.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection
The Website complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, which protects the privacy of children using the Internet. TMaG does not knowingly collect contact or personal information from children under 13. The Website is not intended to solicit information of any kind from children under 13, and is designed to block our knowing acceptance of any such information. It is possible that by fraud or deception we may receive information pertaining to children under 13. If we are notified of this, as soon as we verify the information, we will immediately obtain parental consent or otherwise delete the information from our servers. If you want to notify us of our receipt of information by children under 13, please do so by emailing us at customer.service@tmagcompanystore.com.
