Requests may be made one time per calendar year. If applicable, this information would include the categories of customer information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared customer information for the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2023 will receive information regarding 2022 sharing activities).

Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.
California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

2. Financial Incentives
From time to time, we may offer coupons, discounts, rewards, and other promotions, whether online or in stores, in exchange for you enrolling in certain rewards programs, including the Company’s PARtner Loyalty Rewards Program, or by signing up for email updates, electronic newsletter delivery, or other promotional communications the Company may send you (collectively, “Incentive Programs”). No purchase is necessary to participate in an Incentive Program; however, the Company provides you an opportunity to receive financial rewards in exchange for you providing certain Personal Information. We use that information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. For example, we may collect your name and email address, or if you opt in to receive text messages from us, we will collect your cell phone number. All Incentive Programs are provided to you in exchange for the value of your Personal Information to the Company.
Our customers are invited to participate in our PARtner Loyalty Rewards Program (“Program”). As a member of the Program, you receive the opportunity to earn points based on qualifying purchases or trade-in, which rewards points may be redeemed for a rewards gift card. You may also receive coupons. To enroll you in the Program, we collect your full name, email, zip code and phone number, and other similar data. We also collect and retain your purchase history for administering the Program. We use and disclose the Personal Information we collect for the Program in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We use the Personal Information we collect from the Incentive Programs for lead capture, marketing (including targeted advertising), and research. The financial incentive we provide in exchange for your Personal Information (e.g., rewards points and rewards gift cards) is reasonably related to the value of your Personal Information to us. We calculate this value by determining the approximate return on purchases, the expenses involved in providing the rewards, and the expenses involved in offering and administering these activities and opportunities. You must opt in to participate in an Incentive Program. By opting into the opportunities listed above or enrolling in the Program, you authorize us, our affiliates, and partners to send marketing communications to you. You can withdraw from an Incentive Program at any time by either following the unsubscribe/opt-out button in communications sent to you electronically, or in the case of the PARtner Loyalty Rewards Program, by contacting us via email at marketing@worldwidegolfshops.com.
