OUR PRIVACY POLICY AND TERMS OF SERVICE MAY CHANGE ACCORDING TO THE TERMS DESCRIBED BELOW AND ALL CHANGES ARE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE STATEMENT BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE OR PROVIDING ANY INFORMATION THROUGH ANY OF THE SITES LISTED BELOW.
This page describes the ways in which Heritage Owners Club™ and all of its divisions (collectively referred to here as “Heritage Owners Club,” “we,” “us” or “our”) handle information it obtains about individuals through the websites it operates, including:
heritageownersclub.com (and all sub-domains of heritageownersclub.com),

We provide a variety of information, features, and functions (the “Services”) through these websites.
This page does not necessarily reflect the ways in which we collect and use information by means other than these websites. If you have questions about the ways in which we collect information by other means, please contact us using the contact information in this statement. The practices relating to persons with separate agreements with Heritage Owners Club or its affiliates are separately covered in those agreements.
Information Heritage Owners Club collects
The information we collect will depend on what you do when visiting our sites. EXCEPT AS STATED IN THIS STATEMENT, WE WILL NOT COLLECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU WHEN YOU VISIT OUR SITES UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO PROVIDE SUCH INFORMATION TO US. You are free to visit our sites without providing personally identifiable information. However, if you would like to access our Services, in some cases you must first register or create an account or profile with Heritage Owners Club. When you register or create an account or profile, we will request certain personal information. Requests can include but are not limited to your name, address, city, state, zip code, county, email address, age, home or other contact information, gender, and parent/guardian contact information. We may use this information to create an account or profile and issue you an access ID and password. If you are paying with a credit card, we also will collect your credit card number (employing industry standard security and encryption technologies), billing information and email address to process your payment.
Personal information better enables us to provide you with content relevant to your interests and provides us with aggregate demographic data that Heritage Owners Club uses to improve the services offered to users. Users may change their personal information at any time by using the provided interface once they are logged in and as often as necessary. If users are unable to log in and change their information themselves, they will be able to send an email to admin@heritageownersclub.com.
In addition to registration, Heritage Owners Club may, from time to time, request personal information for purposes such as the provision of customer service, billing, network management, customer surveys, newsletter subscriptions, offers of related services, and other exchanges of information. Users may opt out of receiving future promotional mailings at any time. Please see below for User Options – Opt Out.
Heritage Owners Club gathers information about all users collectively, such as what areas users visit most frequently and what services users’ access most often. Heritage Owners Club automatically logs IP addresses, session sources, and other data which tracks users’ access to our sites. We analyze these logs for sales and marketing purposes as well as system performance monitoring. These logs are analyzed for the overall, aggregate trends they reveal about our customers, not for the behaviors of individual users.
Privacy of children
The Heritage Owners Club policy is to limit the collection of personal information from children in substantial agreement with the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (COPPA). Children ages 12 and under will not knowingly be allowed to register with Heritage Owners Club or create an account without their parent’s permission. Before children ages 12 and under may participate in any Services requiring registration (e.g., creating or joining a club, chat rooms, message boards or other forums), the child must first obtain the parent’s permission and that permission may allow us to collect and maintain the child’s information. If at any time after a parent gives permission, the parent desires to review the child’s personal information, request that it be deleted, or refuse to allow any further collection of the child’s information, the parent may contact the representative for Heritage Owners Club with such a request. If you have additional questions regarding your child’s use of his or her account, you may contact Heritage Owners Club. Please see below for our contact information.
Heritage Owners Club abides by COPPA and the regulations under it. You can obtain more information about COPPA from the Federal Trade Commission.
