PRIVACY POLICY This privacy policy governs your use of the software application “Course Rating Assistant” for mobile and desktop devices that was created by Lew Carlson for EasyRate. The Application is to help automate the Golf Course Rating process. The end result is Course Rating and Course Slope numbers to be used for handicap purposes. The data produced during use of this App will be supplied to the Golf Course Rating Authority in the area of use. They are the only ones that can produce the official Course Rating and Course Slope. User Provided Information The Application obtains no information when you download the Application. App users identify their work with names or initials as part of the data set. This will typically be the Team members creating the course data. This Application records information about Golf courses. This includes all data the user imported from Mapping Applications and any entered by the user. This App can import and export very specific position and rating information from/to an external map program (like Google Earth). If it is to be used the user must install the map program independent of this Application and configure it to start on a file type of .kml. When you contact us for help your name, email address, and all other information you supply will be saved. We may also use the information you provided to contact you from time to time to provide the results of your inquiry, important information, and required notices. Automatically Collected Information If multiple Teams each use this App, at the end of Measurement and/or Rating, files from each device can be transferred to a single device to create a consolidated result. Device names are included as part of this data transfer. If a GPS is connected Location points can be recorded for Tees, Pivot Points, Landing Zones, and Greens. The user manually activates the recording of these position points. The Location data is used to provide distance information between the recorded points. There is also a trace file that automatically records the path of the device. If you do not want us to use your location for the purposes set forth above, you should turn off the location services for the mobile application located in your account settings or in your mobile phone settings and/or the Bluetooth connection to an external GPS unit. The Application does not provide automatic third party access to information obtained during use of the App. An internet connection is only needed to install the App, or if an external App (like Google Earth) needs to down load map information. We will disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected Information: The data produced by this App is the property of the Golf Course Rating Authority in the area of use. The function of this App is to provide the Rating data to that Authority as they are the only ones that can produce the official Course Rating and Course Slope. Also if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process; when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request; What are my opt-out rights?
