PRIVACY POLICY
LAST UPDATED: January 14, 2022
The Swing Index is a product of SWING Index, Inc., (“SWING INDEX” “we” or “us”) and SWING INDEX takes your privacy seriously. Please read our Privacy Policy, in which we describe how we collect, use, and disclose information that we obtain through our websites, apps, and information pages (including http://swingindex.golf ) (the “Site”), our mobile applications (the “Apps”), and the services available through our Apps and Site, as well as from third parties relating to you in or use of our Services (collectively, the “Services”). By visiting the Site, using or downloading the Apps, or otherwise using any of our Services, you agree that your personal information will be handled as described in this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
Information we collect through the Site, Apps and Services, generally, falls into two broad categories: Information, including Personally Identifiable Information, and Aggregate Information. In this Policy, “Information, including Personally Identifiable Information” is information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, email address, or mailing address, as well as user information provided as a result of using the services for a better user experience to include user provided videos. “Aggregate Information” is information that does not directly identify you, and may include, for example, statistical information concerning the Web pages on our Site that users most frequent. Our Privacy Policy governs both categories of information.
Registration Information; Your Requests.
The information we receive depends upon what you do when you visit our Site, as detailed below. We collect Personally Identifiable Information directly from you, automatically through your use of the Sites, Apps, and Services, as well as through third parties when you visit our Site or Apps, or register for our Services. For example, if you sign up for one of our services, platforms or events, we collect certain information such as name, email, and contact information, as well as other fields presented in the registration page prior to accepting the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If you request to receive more detailed, service or event specific information, and you provide us with contact information (which may include Personally Identifiable Information, such as an e-mail address, mailing address, or phone number) then we also collect it.
