1. What personal information does GreatLodge collect from you?
GreatLodge collects information in several ways from different parts of our web site, or the sites of our Partners. Some personal information is gathered when you purchase our license products as required by related state laws or requirement from state agencies. Those data must be sent to the appropriate state agencies. GreatLodge may keep a copy of your record in our database so that you can use our GreatLodge Auto-Fill™ feature in your next time purchase - you do not have to re-enter that information each time you purchase a hunting or fishing license or other product or service offered by GreatLodge.

In addition, we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you use our permit application process or purchase your boat registration. If you contact GreatLodge we may keep a record of that correspondence. GreatLodge also occasionally asks users to complete surveys that we use for research purposes. Wherever GreatLodge collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy.

2. What are cookies and how does GreatLodge use them?
Cookies can be used in web sites to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. As such your personal account can be accessed, and customizable services can be offerred and provided.

3. How does GreatLodge, or a Partner site, use your personal information?
GreatLodge's primary goal in collecting personal information is to fulfill the requirement of state agency in license applications. Our second goal is to provide our users with better experience on our site, or our Partners' sites. This includes personalization services, technical supports, interactive communications and other services. By knowing a little about you, GreatLodge is able to deliver more relevant content and advertisements, and hence better service, to you. From time to time, you may receive customized reminders, messages and special offers via e-mail from GreatLodge according to agreements between GreatLodge and state agencies. GreatLodge also does research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us upon a purchase transaction, during a promotion, from our server log files or from surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. GreatLodge may share this aggregated (non-personal) data with States, advertisers or business partners, but it is important to understand that no personally identifiable information is shared without your consent. Partner sites are bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy.

4. Who is collecting your personal information?
When you are on GreatLodge or a Partner site and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with GreatLodge and that one Partner site alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise. For example, some GreatLodge services are offered in conjunction with a Partner company. In order to provide this service to you, it is necessary for us to share your personal information with our Partner company. Promotions that run on GreatLodge or it's licensing or other services appearing on Partner sites may be sponsored by companies other than GreatLodge or may be co-sponsored by GreatLodge and another company. Some or all data collected during such a promotion may be shared with the co-sponsor. You can decide not to participate in the promotion if you don't want your data to be shared with the co-sponsor. Please be aware that the web site of our advertisers or web sites that have links on our site or our Partners sites may collect personally identifiable information about you. The practices and policies of such web sites are not covered by this privacy statement.

5. With whom does GreatLodge share my information?
As a general rule, GreatLodge will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. GreatLodge does not sell or rent specific user information (personally identifiable information) to anyone. The following describes some of the ways that your information may be disclosed.

From time to time, you may be offered the opportunity to receive materials or special offers from third parties. If you opt-in to receive information from these third parties, GreatLodge will (with your permission) share your name and e-mail address with them. Business Partners & Sponsors: GreatLodge may disclose your personal information to business partners or sponsors, but this is specifically described to you prior to data collection or prior to transferring the data. Details of shared use can be found in specific Terms of Service Agreements (if any), and sweepstakes and promotions rules. Some or all data collected during a GreatLodge promotion may be shared with a sponsor. If personally identifying data about you will be shared, we will tell you before we collect or transfer the data. Many promotions offer opportunities to request additional information from sponsors. By requesting more information, you give GreatLodge permission to transfer your personal information to the sponsor so they can fulfill your request. In many instances, only your e-mail address will be shared. Third Party Data & Data in the Aggregate: Under confidentiality agreements, GreatLodge may match user information with third party data for authorization or other purposes. Also, GreatLodge discloses aggregated user statistics (for example, 75% of our users are male) in order to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.

GreatLodge may also disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating GreatLodge's User Agreement or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) GreatLodge's rights or property, other GreatLodge users, GreatLodge clients, GreatLodge Partners, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. GreatLodge may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.

6. What are my choices regarding collection, use, and distribution of my information?
GreatLodge may, from time to time, send you elective e-mail regarding our products and services. In addition, if we have agreement with state agency that allow GreatLodge to occasionally send you direct mail about products and services that we believe may be of interest to you, we may do so. Only GreatLodge (or agents working on behalf of GreatLodge and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings and only if you indicated that you do not object to these offers. We'll include a way such as "unsubscribe" link so that you can object such offer in future, and we'll never send such mailings to you again.

7. What is GreatLodge's policy on allowing me to update, correct, or delete my personal information?
GreatLodge no longer collects personal information for setting up membership. Information collected through purchase of license products will be sent to involved state agencies, and we'll keep a copy in our database for our Auto-Fill service in your future purchase. If you want to update or correct the information stored in our database, contact 44_licensing@outdoorcentral.us. If you are participating in a GreatLodge promotion and you wish to update your e-mail address on the promotions mailing list or to quit a promotion and cease receiving promotion-related e-mail, please contact Marketing@GreatLodge.com.

8. How does GreatLodge protect my personal financial information?
Keeping your personal financial information private is vitally important to us. As with all personally identifiable information, GreatLodge will never rent or sell your personal financial information. Knowing that you use certain services or features may help us to offer you better and more relevant content and advertisements. But as with all personally identifiable information, we do not make this available to any third parties without your permission. Any user statistics that we may provide to prospective advertisers or partners regarding financial product or service usage on GreatLodge are provided in the aggregate only and do not include any personally identifiable information about any individual user. Please note that there are places on the GreatLodge web site where you can transmit credit card information in order to complete a purchase transaction or for verification purposes. Any time we ask for a credit card number we transmit that credit card number in an encrypted format. We use industry-standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption.

9. What security precautions are in place to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of my information?
The usual place that can access users' personal information in our web site is when using our Auto-Fill feature in license application. We take additional security measures to pretect that information being misused. For example, to search by a user's name or social security number, we require that the date of birth must also be matched.

Please close your browser window when you have finished your transaction. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, GreatLodge cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we use reasonable efforts consistent with industry standards to ensure its security on our systems.

10. What else should I know about online privacy?
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
