If you do not accept this Privacy Policy, you are not authorized to access, use or browse the Sites, or to provide information to Turf Holdings Inc. and must discontinue use of the Sites immediately.

2. Types of Information Collected
We may collect personally identifiable information from you including, without limitation, non- public information about you that helps Turf Holdings Inc. identify you, such as first and last name, birth date, business title, employer, email address, employer address, office and home telephone number, mobile telephone number, password, account username, unique device identifier of your devices that connect to or access the Sites, order information, credit card, debit card and other payment information, billing and shipping information, purchasing and transaction history, occupation, preferences, information regarding services you purchase from us or services that you contact customer service about (e.g., service name, date of service, etc.), information you provide to us when you register in connection with our web or mobile applications, and other information that you provide to Turf Holdings Inc. or that is generated through your use of the Sites or interactions with Turf Holdings Inc. that are not otherwise publicly available. We also may collect non-personally identifiable information about you, such as information regarding your use of the Sites, your IP address, Sites usage statistics, time stamps, browsing history, general geographic location, type of device you use to connect to the Sites, type of computer operating system you use (e.g., Microsoft Windows, Google Chrome OS, Mac OS, Android or iOS), the type of browser you use (e.g., Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari), the domain name of your internet service provider, and information regarding your Internet location when you see Turf Holdings Inc.’s ads and whether you click on such ads.

"Non-personally identifiable information" refers to information that does not personally identify the individual to whom the information relates, such as information that is aggregated by Turf Holdings Inc. or a third party, or information that is not linked to contact information or other personally identifiable information of an individual.

In such an event, Turf Holdings Inc. will treat such information as personally identifiable information.

● Register, enroll or participate in any surveys, questionnaires, promotions, or any other services, events or activities online or offline sponsored by Turf Holdings or third parties, or offered in connection with the Sites of Turf Holdings Inc.’s services ("Activities").
By using the Sites, or by submitting your personally identifiable information to Turf Holdings Inc. online or offline, you expressly consent to the storage and processing of your personally identifiable information in the United States in accordance with the laws of the United States, or in other jurisdictions.
We may obtain personally identifiable and/or non-personally identifiable information from third parties such as the owners or operators of the websites or applications where our advertisements appear (some of which may partner with Turf Holdings Inc. or with an advertisement network used by Turf Holdings Inc.), our service providers, affiliates, suppliers, vendors, distributors, Activities partners and sponsors, and other sources (e.g., offline records or publicly available information). We may combine personally identifiable information we collect with information that we obtain from these sources. We will treat any such combined information as personally identifiable information.
Turf Holdings Inc. automatically receives and records non-personally identifiable information on our server logs from your browser as well as through other analysis of the Sites. We also may collect information using cookies, web beacons, pixels, gifs, tags or similar technologies ("Collection Technology"), or through third parties using similar technologies. Collection Technology may operate as a piece of data stored on your browser or device, or may identify, compile, aggregate and/or collect information through other means. When you visit the Sites, your web browser may use Collection Technology to better enable you to navigate the Sites during your visit and upon your return. You may use the Sites even if you choose to reject or delete certain Collection Technology. Collection Technology also may be used by some of the other websites for which a link is placed on the Sites.
The Sites may use Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses Collection Technology to collect and store anonymous information about you, which may include the non-personally identifiable information described above. You can read Google Analytics’ privacy policy at http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and Google Analytics' Terms of Use at http://www.google.com/analytics/tos.html. You can opt-out from being tracked by Google Analytics in the future by downloading and installing Google Analytics' Opt-out Browser Add- on for your current web browser at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. The Sites may use certain features of Google Analytics based on Display Advertising, such as:
“Demographics and Interest Reporting” to analyze information regarding the interests and demographics of users of the Sites. We use such non-personally identifiable information in the same manner as we use other non-personally identifiable information as described below.
“Remarketing with Google Analytics” to place ads on other sites directed to people who have visited the Sites.
“Google Display Network Impression Reporting” to report how people's interactions with our ads relate to their visits to the Sites.
You can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads by changing the ad settings at: https://www.google.com/settings/adshl=en&sig=ACi0TCh4HAtjShL0Fdg63jzwho_phMSA0- 0hzzH5ELDtoQ4xvNARM3etqnH1cOQWE6jmaavbHAbbDNQ0VerqrM5EhrZPUq-63xzTlHosNHcmK0aXN4mlgTrjMz0kkR9jDjb517T55jzNvxLzRysnxsAR_ppR2CwKxxB9HGFk 7nx48LTrKMNPSF2b4FHwjiQFue_I4bivF.
Applications on mobile devices may transmit information to Turf Holdings Inc. about your location when you request information from the Sites. We may use that information to improve the services we provide to you.
When you use a Turf Holdings Inc. mobile application (“Mobile App”), we collect and use information about you in the same way and for the same purposes as we do when you use our Sites. In addition to this, we also use some other information that we collect automatically when you use our Mobile Apps. We collect information about Mobile App functionality that you access and use, which allows us to identify those areas of the Mobile App that are of interest to our users so that we can continuously improve our Mobile App, and to identify the products with which you interact, the locations thereof and the settings, adjustments and changes that you make thereto. The information we collect for this purpose enables us to indirectly identify you.
Each Mobile App also sends us the device’s Unique Device Identifier (or “UDI”), a sequence of numbers or characters that are unique to your mobile device and may be your mobile telephone number. We use this UDI in connection with every action you take when operating and using the Mobile App. When you use a Mobile App, you can choose to allow access to your current location – provided by your mobile device using GPS or similar technologies – in order to identify nearby events or places of interest. If you choose to allow access, this location data may be collected anonymously and logged by our servers. You can disable the Mobile App’s access to your location at any time through your phone settings menu.
Each Mobile App will also send us error-reporting information in the event that it crashes or hangs which enables us to investigate the error and to improve the stability of the Mobile App for future releases. As part of these error reports, the Mobile App sends us information about the mobile device, the UDI, the time the error occurred, the feature being used, and the state of the application when the error or adjustment occurred. You cannot control all the information that a Mobile App sends to us, but to the extent available you may change the available settings of the Mobile App under its “settings” menu, or changing the available settings of your mobile device. Alternatively, you can remove the Mobile App from your mobile device entirely.

The specific means used is up to us, and we will use our best judgment based on the circumstances.
