Effective: 1 January 2004
CFA Sports Inc. (CFA) is the sole owner of the information collected on the www.ClubFatAss.com website (Website). We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this policy.
CFA collects such information as your name, address, age and e-mail address. We use this information to learn the number of visitors to the Website, the Website's popularity and the pages visited most often for marketing and merchandising purposes. We also use such personal information to improve the contents of the Website and to assist in selecting and offering products and services to CFA members which best suit their needs.
CFA does not currently sell or rent information collected from the Website which personally identifies individuals. We may share aggregated demographic information with our business partners, advertisers and others. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
CFA may use e-mail addresses of visitors to the Website to solicit their feedback on the quality of the services and merchandise offered at CFA and to send them information regarding products and services offered by CFA and upcoming CFA events, at CFA discretion. We may disclose information collected through the Website where we believe in good faith that such disclosure is: a) authorized by law or necessary to comply with legal process, b) in response to legal claims, or c) necessary to protect personal safety, property or other rights of CFA and its members.
From time to time we may request information from members and other user of the Website via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip or postal code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site, a particular event or membership in Club Fat Ass.
From time to time CFA may disclose certain information collected on the Website to fulfillment houses and technical consultants with whom CFA has subcontracted for maintenance of the Website. Such subcontractors are required to keep this information confidential and only use the information in providing fulfillment or maintenance services to CFA.
We use IP (internet protocol) addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses collected on the Website are not linked to personally identifiable information.
The Website contains links to other sites which offer products and services to CFA members (for example, a company that supports Club Fat Ass or a CFA Event as listed on an Event “Thank You” page.). These sites have established their own respective policies and practices on the collection and use of personal information gathered from visitors to each linking site. CFA, however, may receive information that may be collected from these sites as described below.
Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of the linking sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy policies of each and every linking website that collects personally identifiable information. This CFA privacy policy applies solely to information collected by the CFA Website. Should you wish to opt out of data collection by any of these sites, please be sure to do so as each such site instructs.
CFA does not currently use cookies to collect information on visitors to the Website. Some of our business partners may use cookies on their respective sites. However, we have no access to or control over these cookies. Therefore, please read the privacy policies of other sites linked to this website.
We take reasonable precautions on the Website to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the Website, that information is protected from unauthorized disclosure.
CFA is committed to maintaining the security of information on our site. To try to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure correct use of information, we have put in place the appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
To keep membership dues low and maximize the security and confidentiality of our member's personal and financial information, we subcontract credit card transaction processing to an outside third party that is specialized in this area. Please refer to PayPal.com for detailed information about the procedures that are used to safeguard your personal and financial information.
From time to time, we may supplement the information we collect through the Website with email addresses voluntarily provided by members at the time of enrollment at our clubs or purchased from third party sources.
We assume that you will not require any information from Club Fat Ass that you can't find on the Website and that you will actively seek whatever information you want when you want it. On our member registration form, we specifically ask you to "Opt-in" to email communications about events and other member benefits from us.
You may "Opt-out" of having any personal information collected through this site used for purposes not directly related to the Website. To do so, please contact us with your name, address, and e-mail address and we will promptly comply.
If a member's personally identifiable information changes (such as your postal or email address) or if a member no longer desires to remain on our email contact list, we will correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us. Please contact us with your request and we will address it promptly.
If at any point we decide to change our privacy policy or use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will inform users by way of a prominent notice on the Website under What's New?. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
The Website is not targeted to people under the age of majority. (Age of majority may differ between countries and jurisdictions.) Visitors to this site who are under the age of majority may use the Website only with the supervision and consent of a parent or guardian. At this time, we do not encourage membership in Club Fat Ass for persons under the age of majority.
