Golf Fanatics also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on Golffanatics.com blogs/sites. Golf Fanatics only discloses logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
