Children can access many parts of the Website and Services and its content, and use many of their features, without providing us with personal information.

In addition, we use certain technologies, such as cookies, to automatically collect information from our users (including children) when they visit or use the Website and use the Services.

We only collect as much information about a child as is reasonably necessary for the child to participate in an activity, and we do not condition his or her participation on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary. 

Information We Collect Directly. A child must provide us with the following information to register with this website: the child's first name, birth date, golf level, program start and end date, and a parent's email address. We also require the child to create a member name and password. We may request additional information from your child, but this information is optional. We specify whether information is required or optional when we request it.
