This privacy policy was last updated on 23 June 2005.
General Information
This is the privacy policy that
applies to the domain(s) below. We refer to the web site(s)
accessible through the domain(s) and all related web sites
as “sites” and
to each of them as a “site.”
ids-astra.com
www.ids-astra.com
When we refer to “we,” “us,” or “our,” we
mean Brunswick Corporation, a corporation incorporated
under the laws of the state of Illinois, or the specific
division, subsidiary, or affiliate that operates a site,
provides its content, or processes information received through
it, each as appropriate and applicable.
When we refer to “you” or “your,” we
mean the person accessing the site. If the person accessing
the site does so on behalf of, or for the purposes of, another
person, including a business or other organization, “you” or “your” also
means that other person, including a business organization.
This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices for
the sites. This privacy policy does not cover information
we collect by means other than a site. If you have
any questions about how we use information collected by means
other than a site, you should inquire at or before the time
you give such information to us.
Note that this policy contains several important exceptions,
most notably the exception involving use of information
to identify and/or pursue persons who are under criminal
investigation or who damage, or may damage, our information
or other resources. Please read the entire privacy
policy to be sure that you understand these exceptions.
Information Ownership, Collection and Use
We are the sole owner of the information collected through the sites. We will
not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from
those disclosed in this policy. We may collect information from its
users at several different points on the site.
This privacy policy addresses some types of information,
means of collecting information, and uses of information
that may not presently apply to one or more of the sites. We
tell you about these types of information, means of collecting
information, and uses of information anyway because we want
to maintain flexibility in offering additional features without
having to revisit our terms and conditions or privacy policy
every time we revise a site or offer new functions. No
description of any type of information, means of collecting
information, or use of information will require us to collect
any particular information, make any particular use of any
information, or offer any particular functionality through
any site.
Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Compliance
and Related Information
The Child Online Privacy and Protection Act (COPPA) regulates online collection
of information from persons under the age of 13. It is our policy to
refrain from knowingly collecting or maintaining personally identifiable information
relating to any person under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18,
please do not supply any personally identifiable information through the site.
If you are under the age of 18 and have already provided personally identifiable
information through the site, please contact (or have your parent or guardian
contact) us immediately using the information below so that we can remove such
information from our files.
Ordering, Event Registration and Related Processes
When and if you order products or services using a site or register for an
event, we request information from you using an order form. When we already
have information about you (such as through a previous order or registration,
whether received through a site or otherwise), we may use such information
to facilitate the order or registration process. When using an order form,
you must provide contact information (such as name and shipping address)
and financial information (such as credit card number and expiration date).
This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your order. If
we have trouble processing an order, we use this contact information to contact
you.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the computer that
runs an Internet browser. It can contain information
about you, your computer, your browser, your session,
the web sites you visit, and other information about you
or others who use, or have used, the computer or browser
you use to access the Internet. The cookies we use, if any,
are not linked to any personally identifiable information
while using a site unless you have given us permission to
link personally identifiable information to one or more cookies.
You give us that permission any time you register on a site,
place an order through a site, or identify yourself or the
computer you are using through a site.
Most or all browsers permit you to disable or reject cookies.
You can do this by setting the preferences in the browser.
Use the “help” feature of your browser to obtain
more information about refusing cookies. As of the time we
wrote this privacy policy, there was information about how
to disable cookies at the following web sites. We do
not operate either of these web sites and we make no representation
or warranty about the information contained in the web sites
to which these links will take you.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b283185
http://wp.netscape.com/legal_notices/cookies.html
If you set the browser you use to reject cookies, you can
use the sites, but you may not be able to use the full functionality
of one or more of the sites or it may take additional time
to utilize such functionality.
One or more of the organizations with which we do business,
or to which we provide links from a site, also use cookies.
We have no control over such organizations’ uses of
cookies and users should review the privacy policies of such
organizations to determine the uses such organizations make
of cookies.
Log Files
We or our hosting provider may collect traffic information from visitors for
statistical analysis and site improvement. When you accesses a site, we or
our hosting provider may collect information about your visit in a log file
on a server. Log file information may include, but is not limited to, internet
protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit
pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. We or
our hosting provider use this information to analyze trends, administer the
site, track users’ movements in the aggregate, and gather demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses and other log file information
are not linked to personally identifiable information. We do not try to track
users or to identify users individually, but we or our hosting provider do
review this information to understand overall trends and to determine what
kinds of content are popular and useful to users.
Sharing
(a) Aggregated information
We or our hosting provider may share aggregated demographic information with
our users, our affiliated organizations, and other organizations with which
we do, or contemplate doing, business. Such information is aggregated and is
not linked to any information that can identify individual users.
(b) Outsourcing providers
We may use outside shipping or other outsourcing providers to process and ship
orders or perform other functions. We use commercially reasonable diligence
to restrict the purposes for which these outsourcing providers may use your
personally identifiable information. The requirements or requests that
we impose on such outsourcing providers vary with the sensitivity of the
information and can, but do not necessarily, include requirements that these
outsourcing providers not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable
information for any secondary purposes, except for backup and recovery operations.
Although we use good faith efforts to impose, and/or ensure compliance by
our outsourcing providers, we cannot, and will not, be responsible to users
for misuse of personally identifiable information by such outsourcing providers. This
section is meant as a general description of our practices. It does
not impose any duty upon us and it does not constitute a representation or
warranty by us upon which you may rely.
(c) Specific services
We may have agreements with other parties to provide specific services. When
you use such services, we may share personally identifiable information with
such parties. In such cases, we will use its good faith efforts to restrict
the information provided to the information necessary for the provision of
such services.
(d) General use
We share personally identifiable information (whether in return for compensation
or otherwise) with various vendors, suppliers, and advertisers. While we
use good faith efforts to verify that such vendors, suppliers, and advertisers
promote products and services of interest to site users, we cannot, and do
not, endorse such vendors, suppliers, advertisers, products or services unless
we expressly state otherwise. We share only such information as you yourself
provide to us or someone else provides about you (such as through a registration
process) and do not share personally identifiable information derived indirectly
through IP address tracing or similar means. If you wish us to refrain from
providing your personally identifiable information in this manner, please
see the opt-out information and contact information provided below.
Links and Information Gathered by Others
One or more sites may contain links to other web sites. We do not operate those
web sites, we cannot control the information that the operators of such web
sites gather or what the operators of such web sites do with the information,
and we are therefore not responsible for the activities of the operators
of such web sites.
Newsletter
If you wish to subscribe to a newsletter we offer or
to a mailing list that we maintain, we will collect from
you contact information necessary to send the newsletter
or other information to you. This is usually limited to your
e-mail address, but may include other information.
Surveys and Contests
From time to time, we may request information from you using surveys or contests.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you
therefore have a choice as to whether to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and address) and
demographic information (such as zip code and type of user). We will use
such contact information to notify winners and award prizes, and to monitor
or improve the use of one or more sites and provide aggregated information
for our own uses or to our customers or other organizations, and we may also
use it to notify you of news about us or our affiliates or promotions of
our products or services or the products or services of people with whom
we do business.
Tell-A-Friend
We may offer a referral service that allows you to inform your friends and
other acquaintances about content on the site. If you elect to use such a
referral service, we will collect the friend or acquaintance’s e-mail
address and use it to send the friend or acquaintance a one-time e-mail inviting
the friend or acquaintance to visit one or more sites or providing the information
you requested. We store this contact information for the sole purpose of
sending the one-time e-mail.
Security
Where we collect nonpublic personal information from you, we or one or more
of our services providers use industry-standard encryption and security standards
to protect such information. You can tell whether encryption is being
used by noting the “locked” or other status indicator on the
browser you are using. If the browser you are using does not indicate
that the session is secure (e.g. by displaying a key or other icon), you
should assume that the connection is not secure and that third parties will
receive the information shared by you and us during that part of the session.
We also use commercially reasonable efforts to protect
user information offline. All sensitive user information
is maintained in our offices or at the facilities of our
information technology provider(s). We cause access to servers
and connections to be limited by key or other access. Only
employees or agents who need the information to perform specific
functions are granted access to personally identifiable information.
We use reasonable efforts to assure that its employees and
agents are informed of our security and privacy practices.
Supplementation of Information
We sometimes supplement the information we receive from you with other information
we receive from third party sources, such as credit card issuers or clearinghouses.
Special Offers
We may send to you a welcoming e-mail that may also
verify password and user name information. We occasionally
send newsletters or information about products, services,
and special deals to users like you. You may opt to not receive
such informational communications by using the contact information
below.
Site and Service Updates
We may also send to you updates and service announcements about one or more
of the sites. You may not un-subscribe or opt not to receive such announcements
because such announcements contain important information about the services
offered through the relevant site(s).
Misappropriation of Personal Information
For the
purposes of any applicable law regarding notification of
persons whose personal information was, or is reasonably
believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person,
our information security policy provides that any required
notification may, where permitted by law, be made by the
use of e-mail, telephone, fax, mail (including a notice printed
in an available area of a bill or statement) or posting a
notice on a site. The specific means used is up to us and
we will use our judgment based on the circumstances. Where
any notice is to be sent to a specific address or number
(such as e-mail address, physical address, telephone number,
etc.), we will use the latest available address in our records.
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW, YOU AGREE TO THIS
MEANS OF NOTIFICATION.
Correcting or Updating Personal Information
If your personal information changes, or if you no longer desire service, you
may contact us at the email address of bntprivacy@brunswick.com and we will
accommodate all reasonable requests for such changes.
Choice/Opt-out
Users who no longer wish to receive newsletters or promotional materials or
have their information provided to third parties may opt to not receive such
communications or have information shared by contacting us using the information
below. We will comply with such requests as soon as is commercially
practicable. Such compliance may involve batch processing and other
processes that take 30 days or longer. If you opt not to receive such
communications or allow us to share your information and then give your personal
information to us again using one of the sites under circumstances that permit
us to use your information, we will regard your opt-out as rescinded.
In most cases, it is impractical for use to stop any other
party to whom we have supplied your information from continuing
to use the information and opting out will usually not stop
other parties to whom we have provided your information from
continuing to use it.
To change your preference with regard to the way your information
is treated, please send us an email at bntprivacy@brunswick.com.
Response
Times
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to timely make
any changes you request. Many such changes are accomplished
using batch processing (i.e. collecting a number of similar
change requests and making all such changes at once), so
the changes may not be immediately effective. If you require an immediate
change to your personally identifiable information and
are unable to make such a change using the available site
resources, please contact us using the information below.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
If we decide to change this privacy policy, we will post the changes on one
or more sites and/or other places we deem appropriate.
Except as stated below, we will use information in accordance
with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
If we decide to use information about you in a manner different
from that stated in the privacy policy in effect at the time
of collection, we will notify you by e-mail if, and to the
extent that, you have provided your e-mail address. If you
reply to such an e-mail within a reasonable time and request
that we not use your personally identifiable information
in the proposed new manner, we will honor your request, but
we reserve the right to suspend your access to all or part
of the services offered through one or more sites if you
do so. If you do not reply to such an e-mail, or we receive
a reply of “undeliverable” or similar message
from your last known e-mail address, in either case after
a reasonable time, we will use the information in the proposed
new manner.
BY USING THIS WEBSITE, YOU AGREE TO THIS CHANGE PROCEDURE.
Exceptions
Notwithstanding anything else in this privacy policy
to the contrary, we may collect personally identifiable information
and use such information in ways other than those described
above if we are required to do so by law or if we deem it
advisable in the course of assisting law enforcement activities
or protecting our site(s) or other property.
