Privacy Policy

Bandon Dunes Privacy Promise
Bandon Dunes Golf Resort respects your online privacy and is committed to promoting fair information practices. This privacy promise discloses the privacy practices for Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.

Information Collection and Use
Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Bandon Dunes Golf Resort may collect information from our visitors at several different points on our website.

Registration
During registration a visitor is required to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the visitor about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It may be optional for the visitor to provide demographic information (such as income level and gender), and unique identifiers (such as a credit card number), but encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the visitor's hard drive containing information about the visitor. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the visitor closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. If a visitor rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the visitor may be limited in some areas of our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our visitors to enhance the experience on our site.

Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track visitor's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Sharing
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

Links
This web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our visitors to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site <www.bandondunes.com>.

Newsletter
If a visitor wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address.

Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from visitors via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the visitor 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 code, age). 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.

Security
Bandon Dunes Golf Resort's website takes every precaution to protect our visitors' information. When visitors submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration form asks visitors to enter sensitive information, that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect visitor-information off-line. All of our visitors' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Anytime new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment.

If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email.

Special Offers
Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our visitors we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice/opt-out below.

Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a visitor's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if a visitor no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that visitor's personal data provided to us. This can be done by emailing us.

Choice/Opt-out
Our visitors are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of receiving our newsletter or promotional materials by emailing us.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy promise, we will post those changes here so our visitors are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify visitors by way of an email. Visitors 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 promise under which the information was collected.
