Third-party use of cookies and other tracking technologies.

The Website includes links to several third-party websites and applications, including the Club�s social media account on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and Pinterest platforms to which we may post information about Club activities or amenities. These platforms and any information that the third-party owners or operators of these platforms collect during your access or use thereof is subject to the privacy policies and practices of the third-party owners and operators.

Disclosure of your information

We may disclose aggregated information (that does not identify any individual), without restriction.

We will never share your personal information with unaffiliated or non-agent third parties for advertising and marketing purposes. Subject to the following extremely limited exceptions, we will never disclose personal information that we collect or you provide to any third parties or our affiliates for any purpose.
To fulfill the purpose for which you provide it. For example, if you give us an email address and ask that we add it to a designated distribution list, or pass it along to another Club member or non-member for any purpose. Another example would be if we establish an �email a friend� feature of our Website or App, and you provide us with your email for purposes of using that feature, we will transmit the contents of that email and your email address to your designated recipient(s).
For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information, or with your prior consent.
If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights or safety of The Commons Club at The Brooks, our Members or others.
To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business and who are obligated to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

Your choices about our collection, use, and disclosure of your information

Because we already have policies in place to ensure that we do not and will not collect, share or use your personal information for any advertising or marketing services and do not provide access to such information to any non-agent third parties, the possibilities to further limit or control the collection or use of your personal information are limited. You can either cease use of the Website or you can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of the Website may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

You can also send us an email at [email protected] to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

Changes to our privacy policy

We may update our privacy policy from time to time. If we make material changes to how we treat our users� personal information, we will post the new privacy policy on this page. Your continued use of the Website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.
