This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your information when you use our website and services (“Services”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described below.
Please note that your use of GOATT Golf Club’s Services is always subject to our Terms of Use, which incorporate this Privacy Policy. Any terms not defined here are provided in the Terms of Use.
1. What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?
This Privacy Policy covers how we handle personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that we collect when you access or use our Services. It does not apply to the practices of companies we do not own or control or to people we do not manage. We collect various types of Personal Information from our users and use it to provide and improve the Services, to allow you to set up an account, and to connect golfers as hosts and guests. In some cases, we may also share certain Personal Information with third parties, as described below.
We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are under 13, do not attempt to register or send any Personal Information to us. If we learn we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it as quickly as possible. If you believe a child under 13 may have provided us with personal information, please contact us at membership@goatt.golf.
2. Will This Privacy Policy Change?
As we work to improve our Services, we may need to update this Privacy Policy. If we make changes, we will notify you by placing a notice on our website, sending an email, or through other means. If you continue to use the Services after changes are made, you are agreeing to the updated policy. The current version of the Privacy Policy governs our use of any information we collect.
3. What Information Does GOATT Golf Club Collect?
- Information You Provide
We collect information you provide directly to us, such as through the registration process or account settings. This may include your name, email address, phone number, and golf club membership information. Some information is required to use certain features of our Services.
We may use your contact information to send you emails about the Services, including promotions or updates. If you prefer not to receive these communications, you can opt out by contacting us at membership@goatt.golf.
- Information Collected Automatically
When you use our Services, we automatically collect information from your browser or device. This may include your IP address, geolocation data, device identifiers, and “cookie” data. Cookies are small files transferred to your device that help us recognize you and track usage of the Services.
You can adjust your browser settings to limit or prevent the use of cookies, but this may affect your ability to use certain features. If you click on links to third-party sites or services, those third parties may also place cookies. Our Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by third parties.
We use this automatically collected data to improve our Services, such as understanding usage patterns and personalizing content.
- De-identified Information
We may de-identify Personal Information so it no longer identifies you and share it with partners to help them understand how users interact with the Services. We may also provide aggregate usage data to partners, but we will not share identifiable Personal Information unless you consent.
4. User Profiles and Submissions
Certain user profile information, including your name, location, and any content you upload (such as images or videos), may be visible to other users to facilitate interactions. Content you voluntarily disclose in public forums or through messages can be viewed by others and used or shared by anyone. Your username may also be displayed to other users when you communicate with them through the Services.
5. Business Transfers
In the event of a business transaction, such as a sale or acquisition, customer information may be transferred as part of the transaction. If GOATT Golf Club is involved in such a transaction, your Personal Information could be transferred to the acquiring company.
6. Protection of GOATT Golf Club and Others
We may access, read, store, and share any information we believe is necessary to comply with laws, enforce our Terms of Use, or protect the rights, property, or safety of GOATT Golf Club, our employees, users, or others.
7. Is My Information Secure?
Your account is protected by a password to help ensure your privacy and security. It is your responsibility to safeguard your password and account. While we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee complete security, as unauthorized access, hardware failures, or other issues may compromise data.
8. What Personal Information Can I Access?
You can access and, in some cases, edit or delete certain Personal Information through your account settings. This may include your name, password, email, location, and golf association ID. You can also update your profile information. If you have questions about accessing or updating your information, please contact us at membership@goatt.golf.
9. What Choices Do I Have?
You can choose not to provide certain information, but this may limit your ability to use certain features of the Services. You can update or delete information through your account settings, but some information may remain in our records. You may also request the deletion of your account by contacting membership@goatt.golf.
Even after you update or delete your Personal Information, we may retain certain data for legitimate business purposes, such as for compliance with legal obligations or to prevent fraud.
