Privacy Policy

Four Seasons Association respects your concerns about privacy. There are various ways that you might interact with Four Seasons Association and the information you provide when doing so allows us to improve our services.  This privacy policy is intended to ensure your information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. As we continue to evolve our website and incorporate new technologies to improve communication, our privacy policy may change. Therefore, we encourage you to refer to this privacy policy on an ongoing basis to stay abreast of our most current privacy policy and practices.

This privacy policy explains:

  • What information we collect, and why we collect it;
  • How we use that information;
  • How we protect that information;
  • How you can control your information, including accessing, updating, and deleting what we store; and
  • The limited way in which we may share any information collected.

WHAT INFORMATION DOES FOUR SEASONS ASSOCIATION COLLECT FROM SITE VISITORS?

Currently, 4seasons-club.com (the “Site”) gathers information users provide such as name, email addresses, and phone numbers, for contact purposes when users opt to fill out an e-mail submission form to inquire about our club and memberships. In some cases, we ask for other optional information including additional contact information and certain demographic information such as age and marital status.

Additionally, we collect, store, and use information about your visits to the Site and about your computer, tablet, mobile or other device through which you access the Site.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?

We may use your information to communicate special offers, promotions, and information about Four Seasons Association to you via email. If you do not wish to receive these emails you will have the option to opt-out of future mailings. We may also use your information to compile usage statistics and other data regarding the use of the website services.

If you provide us with your email address while interacting with the Site, we will send you periodic emails with membership information and news about Four Seasons Association. If you have previously opted out of receiving emails from us, the re-submittal or providing of updated information will be treated as a new opt-in to receive informational emails from Four Seasons Association.

To opt-out of receiving promotional emails, simply click on the “unsubscribe” link located on the bottom of all our emails. Although we strive to update our email list as frequently as possible, you may receive one or more contacts from us before we are able to remove you.

Four Seasons Association does not sell, rent, or otherwise provide your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information to third-parties without your consent.

WE ONLY SHARE YOUR INFORMATION IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

Agents: We may employ other companies and individuals from time to time to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include creating and maintaining the Site, sending postal and email notices and advertisements, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, and providing marketing assistance and/or customer service. These parties may have access to personal information needed to perform these functions; however, we prohibit any agent or third-party performing these functions and services for us from using this information for any other purpose.

Protection of Four Seasons Association: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is necessary in order to comply with law; enforce or apply our Club Policies and Rules, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Four Seasons Association, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection as allowed by law.

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA:

The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards, including compliance with the State of Illinois laws regarding protection of personally identifiable information, to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We use appropriate measures to safeguard personally identifiable information, which measures are appropriate to the type of information maintained and follow applicable laws regarding the safeguarding of any such information under our control. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, can be 100% secure; therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. The internet by nature is a public forum, and we encourage you to use caution when disclosing information online. Often, you are in the best position to protect yourself and information you provide online. You are responsible for protecting your username and password from third-party access and for selecting passwords that are secure.

DATA RETENTION: HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We will retain personal information which we process on behalf of you for as long as necessary to provide services and products to you, and in accordance with any agreement in place with you and relevant laws. When you contact us, we may keep a record of your communication to help solve any issues that you might be facing. Your information may be retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirement. In conjunction with applicable state law, once your personal identifying information is no longer needed, unless longer retention is required by contractual or legal requirements, Four Seasons Association shall destroy or arrange for the destruction of such information; however, no such information will be destroyed if pertinent to any ongoing or anticipated government or law enforcement investigation, proceeding, or litigation.

YOUR RIGHTS:

You may request from us access to, correction of, blocking of and/or deletion of your personal data in line with applicable data protection law. You may also withdraw your consent for us to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. Where your personal data is processed by us with your consent or for the performance of a contract by automated means, we will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format upon request.

RESPONDING TO REQUESTS:

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. Also, please note that we may refuse a request for blocking and/or deletion where the processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND ONLINE ENGAGEMENT:

We occasionally use a variety of new technologies and social media options to communicate and interact with customers, potential customers, employees and potential employees. These sites and applications include popular social networking and media sites, open source software communities and more.

HOW DO WE PROTECT CHILDREN ON OUR SITE?
