Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”)

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal information” and “personally identifiable information” mean any information or set of information that could be reasonably used, directly or indirectly, along or in combination with other information, to identify a natural person. PII does not include information that has been de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized, or publicly available information that has not been combined with non-public PII. 

PDI collects and maintains PII that you may provide to us through your use of the Service, which may include: Name; Address; Email address; Telephone number; Age; Date of birth; Gender; Precise geolocation if you allow the Service to access location services through the permission system used by your device’s mobile operations system or browser; Height; Weight; We may also generalize your location, for example, by using your IP address; Payment information, such as credit or debit card number, expiration date and security code; Purchase history, including subscription plans, transactions, and your content or assessment consumption tendencies on the Service; Account settings preferences, if selected. We may also collect, maintain and use other information that you voluntarily submit to us. For example: Questionnaire responses about your current levels of exercise and physical ability; Personal goals and progress-tracking, in connection with your use of the Service (e.g., Self Awareness, Process Focus, Scoring Average, or your custom golf training plan); User Submissions (as defined in the Terms), such as a photograph, video, audio file or a text post submitted to our Blog page or our Review page, and information submitted directly or indirectly to us or an account associated with PDI, such as by tagging or posting to our social media pages maintained on third-party platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram and YouTube). If you choose to communicate with us through a third-party social media platform, such as by tagging us or otherwise directing a message or post at any of our accounts on those third-party social media websites, applications, or platforms (collectively, “Social Media Pages”), the information you post may be visible to any other visitors to that Social Media Page, including members of the public. PDI does not control and is not liable for the data practices of these third-party sites or services. We are not responsible for the safety or security of any personal information you include in such posts or how such information may be collected, processed, or used by any other visitor to our Social Media Page(s).

For users who are coaches we collect information necessary to create an account for earning coaching certification and verifying that certification. A coach account also enables the coach to create accounts for their golfer students via email invitations for the purpose of administering and accessing PDI assessments. 

Automatic Data Collection Through Cookies and Other Information Collection Tools

In addition to the information described above, we collect additional information that does not personally identify you, including information we collect automatically through the use of “cookies” and other data collection tools. PDI tracks the following information about users who access the Service automatically using cookies and other tracking technologies: IP address, operating system used, browser type, any referring and exit websites and related browsing data- or directing-URLs, access date and time, user actions (e.g., page views, sale, registration, and time spent on a particular page or part of the Service), general geographic location and precise geo-location, and technical information about users’ device (e.g., device IDs and technical unique identifiers), as applicable. We use this information to better understand our users and how they interact with the Service in order to enhance users’ experiences with the Service.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive when you visit a website or use an online service. The use of cookies allows us to recognize your browser or device when you visit the Service again, which helps us improve your access to the Service and identify repeat visitors to the Service. Cookies may store unique identifiers, user preferences and other information. We may use “session cookies” or “persistent cookies.” Session cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser or once your session ends. Persistent cookies remain on your device for much longer or until you or your browser erase them. Persistent cookies have varying durations that are dependent on their expiration date. Cookies help us better understand our users and how they interact with the Service by providing us with information about which parts of the Service are most popular, enabling us to analyze technical and navigational information about the Service, and helping us to detect and prevent fraud. We also use cookies and other data collection tools (such as web beacons and pixels) to help improve your experience with the Service. For example, we use Google Analytics to help analyze how users use the Service. These tools use cookies to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Service (including IP address) is transmitted to our data collection tool service providers. This information is then used by us to evaluate visitors’ use of the Service and to compile statistical reports on website activity for PDI. If you would like to opt-out from the use of your information by Google Analytics, you may use Google Analytics’ opt-out browser add-on designed for this purpose. You may be able to disable cookies and/or other locally stored cookies by disabling them in your web browser or on your device. Some browsers provide settings that allow a user to reject cookies or to alert a user when a cookie is placed on the user’s computer, tablet, or mobile device. Most mobile devices also offer settings to reject mobile device identifiers. However, if you decide to block or reject cookies from us, the Service may not function properly.

To the extent permitted by law, we may also disclose the PII and other Information: (i) when required by law, court order, or other government or law enforcement authority or regulatory agency; or (ii) whenever we believe that disclosing such information is necessary or advisable, for example, to protect the rights, property, or safety of PDI or others.

HOW TO MAKE CHANGES TO YOUR INFORMATION

You may review and/or make changes to your PII by contacting PDI as described in the “How to Contact Us” section below. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process such requests in a timely manner. You should be aware, however, that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in our databases.

SECURITY

We take commercially reasonable steps to protect PII and other Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. When we collect PII through our website, that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the website. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that the information that you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to and from us over the Internet. In particular, email sent to or from the Service may not be secure, and you should, therefore, take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email.

DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

PDI does not respond to web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that permit an individual to exercise choice regarding the collection of PII and other personal information about that individual’s activities over time and across third-party websites and online services.

For example, if you provide your email address in a request form submitted to our support staff, you acknowledge and accept that we may respond to your request by contacting you at the email address provided. Your agreement to receive these communications is not a condition of purchasing any products, goods, or services and you may elect to do business with us over the phone. Where applicable, message & data rates may apply, and message frequency may vary. You may unsubscribe from email communications via the unsubscribe link in the footer of all emails.
