as
being eligible under the Golf Program. The Full Card
Number will
be transmitted via Visa’s proprietary system
(“Phoenix”) to Visa Inc, Visa USA Inc
and
related Visa entities in the United States for
validation. Upon
validation, User will be redirected to fill in a
registration
form. If the Full Card Number is not valid, Phoenix will
send
the User an error message. The Full Card Number will be
validated real time by Phoenix
- In the event that the User is successfully directed to
the
registration form (which resides in Visa’s Singapore
server),
the User will need to fill up all the Required Personal
Information on the registration form except for Full
Card
Number. Upon completing the registration form and
clicking
“Submit”, the registration form and all information
provided
therein will be submitted via an automated process
(protected by
“Visa Secure” system” which includes password protection
mechanism) to Supplier (located in Singapore). 。
All Required Personal Information contained in the
registration
form submitted by the User will be retained and
processed by
Supplier in order for Supplier to process the request
for
upgrade by the User under the Golf Program. Visa cannot
control,
and User agrees and acknowledges that Visa is not
responsible
for, any acts or omission on the part of Supplier in the
use or
processing of personal information by Supplier. Users
may be
required to agree and consent to additional privacy
policies
relating to the collection or usage of personal
information by
Supplier to which Visa is not a party and for which Visa
is not
responsible.
- In addition to the above, Visa uses the Required Personal
Information to:
- Provide and operate the Golf Program benefits and any
associated services requested by User;
- Analyze usage and improve the Golf Program benefits and
associated service(s);
- Ensure the security and integrity of the Golf Program
benefits;
- Enforce Visa’s policies; and
- Perform other activities with User’s consent
-
Visa may use and/or release Personal Information of any User,

outside of the User’s country of residence, when Visa in good
faith
believes that such release is necessary to:

of residence;
- respond to governmental or regulatory bodies’
inquiries;

enforce or apply the Terms of Use and any other
agreements to
which Visa or the User is subject;

is
required to do otherwise under applicable law. Visa may provide
aggregate information to Visa’s partners (banks or merchants)
about
how Users collectively, use the Site and register for the Golf
Program, so that Visa’s partners may be aware of frequency,

register
for the Golf Program. However, for the avoidance of doubt Visa
