At Open Fairways we are committed to protecting your privacy. We use the information we collect about you to process orders and to provide a more personalised membership experience. Please read on for more details about our privacy policy.
What information do we collect? How do we use it?
When you order, we need to know your name, e-mail address, delivery address, credit or debit
card number and the card's expiry date. This allows us to process and fulfil your orders and
to notify you of the status of your order.
We also ask for your telephone number which enables us to contact you urgently if there is a
problem with your order. For some international deliveries this number may be given to our
couriers.
When you enter a contest or other promotional feature, we may ask for your name, address and
e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify winners.
We also monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage to help us develop the design and
layout of the site.
We may also use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about important
functionality changes to the Web site, new Open Fairways.
Services and special offers we think you'll find valuable. If you would rather not receive
this information, you may opt out by contacting us.
How does Open Fairways protect customer information?
When you place orders or access your account information, we offer the use of a secure server. The secure server software (SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. Furthermore, as required by the UK Data Protection Legislation, we follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information which you have given us, to prevent unauthorised access. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we are able to disclose sensitive information to you.
What about "cookies"?
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information, but they do enable us to prevent you from having to view certain promotional material more than once. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Even without a cookie, you can still use most of the features in our site, including purchasing items.
Will Open Fairways disclose the information it collects to outside parties?
Open Fairways does not sell, trade or rent your personal information to others. We may choose to do so in the future with trustworthy third parties, but you can tell us not to by sending an e-mail message to that effect to info@openfairways.com. Also, Open Fairways may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information.
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mails, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analysing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments and providing customer services. Such companies and individuals will have access to personal information needed to perform these functions, but may not use it for any other purposes and are required to process the data in accordance with the UK's Data Protection legislation.
