Privacy Policy
Thank you for visiting the Privacy Policy page of Yamaha Golf-Car Company's ("Yamaha
Golf Car") website. Yamaha Golf-Car Company values your right of privacy, and
wants you to feel comfortable using its website at http://www.yamahagolfcar.com (the "Yamaha
Golf Car Website" or "Website"). This page describes our privacy policy
for the Website, and enables you to opt out of certain uses and disclosures of your
personally identifiable information.
1. Your Acceptance
By using and/or visiting the Yamaha Golf Car Website, you signify your assent to both
the content of this Privacy Policy and the general Terms and Conditions for using
the Website, which are published at Legal Terms and Conditions, and which are incorporated
herein by reference. If you do not agree to any of these terms, you should not use
the Website. Should Yamaha Golf-Car Company make any substantial change to this
Privacy Policy, we will publish an amendment, or we may email you if you have not
opted out of email notifications.
2. Yamaha Website
This Privacy Policy applies solely to the Yamaha Golf Car Website, which may contain
links to third party websites that are not owned or controlled by Yamaha. For instance,
if you apply for Yamaha Factory Financing or establish a Yamaha Card Account, you
may access the independent website of Household Bank (SB), N.A. or another third
party. Yamaha Golf-Car Company has no control over, and assumes no responsibility
for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party website, which
may collect both passive and personally identifiable information. In addition, Yamaha
Golf-Car Company will not and cannot censor or edit the content of any third party
site. By using the Website, you expressly relieve Yamaha Golf-Car Company from any
and all liability arising from your use of any third party website. Accordingly,
we encourage you to be aware when you leave the Yamaha Golf Car Website, and to
read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each other website that you
visit.
3. What Type of Information Do We Collect and Use?
When you visit the Yamaha Golf Car Website, we may collect passive information about
your visit. Passive information is any form of aggregate data, navigational data,
tracking data, click-stream data, or historical data, which does not on its own
personally identify you. Passive Information includes information collected through
cookies and web beacons. When you complete a survey, subscribe to one of our newsletters,
or submit other data through the Yamaha Golf Car Website, we may also obtain and
collect personally identifiable information. Personally identifiable information
is information collected online that personally identifies you, such as by name,
email address, or mailing address. Yamaha Golf-Car Company provides you with the
ability to "opt-out" of certain uses of such personally identifiable information.
4. Maintenance & Opt-Out of Information
If you wish to opt-out of our use and disclosure of your personally identifiable information,
other than as expressly permitted in this Privacy Policy, you will have the option
to do so when you first submit your personally identifiable information via the
Yamaha Golf Car Website. Simply state your desire to opt-out where indicated. If
you wish to amend or delete any personally identifiable information that you have
previously provided without opt-out, please send us a message at privacy@yamahagolfcar.com.
We will endeavor to provide a simple way to review, correct, update or remove personally
identifiable information you have given us. If you wish to stop receiving a Yamaha
Golf Car newsletter or other circulation, please follow the "unsubscribe" instructions
contained in each newsletter.
5. How Do We Use Personally Identifiable Information?
If you have opted out of our general use of personally identifiable information, Yamaha
Golf-Car Company will not use or disclose such information except as follows:
- to communicate directly with you in connection with your specific requests;
- to validate credit card numbers;
- to permit our website designers to develop features and services that meet your
needs;
- to tailor your experience on our Website, showing you individually tailored content;
- to comply with a lawful subpoena or court order;
- to remedy any violation or breach of an agreement between you and Yamaha Golf-Car
Company; and
- to prevent harm to the property or rights of Yamaha Golf-Car Company or its customers.
If you have not "opted-out" of our use and disclosure of your personally
identifiable information, Yamaha Golf-Car Company may also use such information for
its own marketing and survey purposes, and Yamaha Golf-Car Company may appoint third
party agents in connection with such marketing and survey efforts, subject to a confidentiality
agreement concerning the information. Yamaha Golf-Car Company will not, however, disclose
any personally identifiable information for use in connection with a third party's
marketing efforts.
6. Aggregate Information
Yamaha Golf-Car Company may share aggregate statistical information with business
partners, sponsors or other third parties, but none of them receive personally identifiable
information. For example, we may tell a third party that X number of visitors visited
a certain area on a website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women applied
for extended service, but we would not disclose anything that uniquely identifies
those individuals.
7. Unsolicited Emails Received by You
Yamaha Golf-Car Company does not send unsolicited bulk emails to anyone who has requested
that we do not contact them. We send newsletters only to those who have taken affirmative
steps to subscribe. If you have inadvertently received one of our newsletters, or
if you simply wish to stop receiving them, please follow the "Unsubscribe" instructions
contained in each newsletter, visit this page to modify your information or unsubscribe,
or send a request to be unsubscribed to privacy@yamahagolfcar.com.
8. Cookies
Your browser software includes a feature called "cookies." We may use "cookies" to
enhance your experience with our site. If enabled, cookies may store small amounts
of data on your computer about your visit to the Yamaha Golf Car Website, including
your page preferences. Cookies tell us nothing about you personally, unless you specifically
give us additional information. Yamaha Golf-Car Company does not merge or associate
our cookie information with any personally identifiable information obtained by us
or from third parties. Cookies simply assist us in tracking which of our features
you like best and what content you may have viewed during past visits. When you re-visit
the Yamaha Golf Car Website, cookies can enable us to customize our content according
to your preferences. We may use cookies to: (i) keep count of your return visits to
the Website; (ii) accumulate anonymous, aggregate, statistical information on website
usage; (iii) deliver content specific to your interests or past viewing history; and
(iv) save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our sites.
You can also disable cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you can accept
or reject all cookies, or request a notification when a cookie is set.
9. P3P (Platform for Privacy Preference) Conformance
Our cookies conform to the emerging P3P privacy standard, developed by the World Wide
Web Consortium. P3P provides a simple, automated way for users to control the use
of personal information. Browsers like Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 conform to
the P3P standard. At its most basic level, P3P is a standardized set of multiple-choice
questions, covering all the major aspects of a website's privacy policy. Taken together,
they present a clear snapshot of how a site handles personal information. P3P-enabled
browsers can "read" this snapshot automatically and compare it to the
consumer's own set of privacy preferences. P3P places privacy policies where users
can find them, in a form users can understand, and, most importantly, enables users
to act on what they see.
10. IP Addresses
An Internet Protocol ("IP") address is a number assigned to your computer
whenever you access the Internet. An Internet Service Provider ("ISP") typically
assigns a random dynamic IP address at the time of your dial-up. For local area network
("LAN"), DSL, or cable modem users, a static IP address may be permanently
assigned to a particular computer. Yamaha may record the IP addresses of visitors
to its Website. While an IP address may reveal your ISP or geographic area, we cannot
determine your identity solely based upon your IP address. Other websites you visit
have IP addresses, and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their
pages, but these IP addresses are never associated with Internet users.
11. Web Beacons
The Website may contain web beacons, which are electronic images (sometimes called "single-pixel
gifs") that allow us to count page views, or to access cookies. We may also include
web beacons in HTML-formatted newsletters containing graphics that we may send to
opt-in subscribers, to count the number of newsletters that have been opened and read.
Our web beacons do not collect, gather, monitor, or share any personal information
about our website visitors. They are used only to compile our anonymous, aggregate
statistics about website
usage.
12. Computer Profiles
Yamaha Golf-Car Company may also collect and accumulate other anonymous data that
helps us understand and analyze the Internet experience of our visitors. For example,
we may accumulate visitor data relating to referring domain names, the type of browsers
used, operating system software, screen resolutions, color capabilities, browser
plug-ins, language settings, cookie preferences, search engine keywords and JavaScript
enablement. None of this information is personally identifiable and we only share
this information in the aggregate, reflecting overall website or Internet usage
trends, as outlined in this Privacy Policy.
13. Chat Rooms and Forums
The Yamaha Golf Car Website may in the future include chat rooms, forums, message
boards, and/or news groups. If so, Yamaha Golf-Car Company as a passive conduit
will not be liable for any of the transmitted information. Any information that
is disclosed in these areas becomes public information. You should exercise caution
before disclosing your personal information via these public venues, which you do
at your own risk. If you do so, you may receive unsolicited emails or "spam." Yamaha
Golf-Car Company cannot safeguard the privacy of personally identifiable information
that is disclosed and can be viewed or accessed online in this manner.
14. Security
Some pages of the Yamaha Golf Car Website use security measures to protect the loss,
misuse and alteration of information that is transmitted through the Website. These
pages use Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") connections with 128-bit encryption
for certain transactions and confidential data. When you use a secure browser, all
information you submit comes to us over the Internet in an encrypted form, with
a digital certificate issued by a third-party certification authority such as VeriSign®.
To view this certificate, click on the image of the closed lock or the solid key
on the bottom bar of your browser window. We also maintain our servers in locked
facilities with secure access. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet
or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while
we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot ensure
or warrant the security of any information you transmit, and you do so at your own
risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security
on our systems. You can report network abuse and any risk of security violations
to us by emailing privacy@yamahagolfcar.com.
15. Children's Online Privacy Protection
The Yamaha Golf Car Website complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act of 1998 (COPPA). COPPA and its accompanying FTC regulation protects the privacy
of children using the Internet. Yamaha Golf-Car Company does not knowingly collect
contact or personally identifiable information from children under 13. The Yamaha
Golf Car Website is not intended to solicit information of any kind from children
under 13, and is designed to block our knowing acceptance of any such information,
wherever age related information is requested. It is possible that by fraud or deception
we may receive information pertaining to children under 13. If we are notified of
this, as soon as we verify the information, we will immediately obtain parental
consent or otherwise delete the information from our servers. If you want to notify
us of our receipt of information by children under 13, please do so by emailing
us at privacy@yamahagolfcar.com.
16. Contact Information

herein by reference. If you do not agree to any of these terms, you should not use
the Website. Should Yamaha Golf-Car Company make any substantial change to this
Privacy Policy, we will publish an amendment, or we may email you if you have not
opted out of email notifications.
