7. Security
While we implement reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal data, you acknowledge that data transmission over the internet inherently carries risks and cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure due to unexpectedly objective events.
Accordingly, both parties share responsibility for protecting data: we commit to maintaining security standards in accordance with applicable laws and industry practices, and you agree to exercise caution when transmitting personal information.
In the unlikely event of data being compromised due to factors beyond our control, we will take prompt remedial actions and notify affected individuals as required by law. However, we cannot be held liable for damages arising from transmission vulnerabilities unless caused by our proven negligence or breach of duty. GOLFZON designates rules for the protection of personal information and adopts appropriate management, technical, organizational, and physical security measures as required by applicable regulations. We use firewalls to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no assurance can be given that the aforementioned firewall or security server software will completely prevent the access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the information.
We may attempt to notify you electronically to take appropriate protective measures if we become aware of the destruction of the security system. You agree that by using our Services or providing personal information to us, we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and management issues related to the use of our Services. We may post notices within our Services in the event of a security breach. We may also email you at the email address you provided in these circumstances.
8. Access, Transfer, and Correction of Personal Information
You may use the contact details in Article 21 to view and request the correction or transmission of information about you in our possession or object to the processing of data related to you. If we receive a request from you to inspect, transmit, correct, add, or delete personal information or if you object to the processing of your personal information due to incorrect personal information (“Correction”), GOLFZON shall conduct all necessary investigations without undue delay and provide your personal information to you or a designated third party and make the Correction as soon as possible.
