Information Collection and Use
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.
Surveys and Contests
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.
Log Files
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.
Links to Sponsors and Business Partners
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.
Cookies
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.
Security
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.
Supplementation of 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.
Choice / Opt-in and Out-out
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.
Correction / Updating Personal Information
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.
Notification Changes
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.
Children
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.
