The Bogey Golf Society, based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. This policy applies to this website, membership applications, event responses and messages sent to us.
Information we collect
We collect information you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, golf handicap, membership application answers, event attendance response and any message you send us. Please do not include sensitive personal information in an open text field unless we ask for it.
If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics also receives technical and usage data such as pages viewed, browser and device details, online identifiers and an IP address used to process the request and estimate general location. We do not send membership application or RSVP form fields to Google Analytics.
How and why we use it
We use personal information to assess and manage membership, administer events, respond to enquiries, operate and secure the website, keep appropriate society records, meet legal obligations and, with your consent, understand website use.
Depending on the applicable law, we rely on your request to join or attend, our legitimate interests in running the society, compliance with law, or your consent. Analytics is based on consent and does not load before you accept it.
Who receives it
We disclose information only to people who help administer the society and to service providers that supply website hosting, form storage, email delivery and analytics. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect people, the society or the website. We do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising.
The Ask AI links in the footer open third party services. Information you submit there is handled under that provider's privacy terms, not this policy.
International transfers
Some service providers may process information outside the UAE or the country where you live. Where required, we use providers and contractual or organisational safeguards intended to provide an appropriate level of protection for those transfers.
How long we keep it
We keep information only while it is needed for the purpose collected, to maintain appropriate membership and event records, or to meet legal, accounting and dispute requirements. Unsuccessful or inactive applications and completed event responses are deleted or anonymised when no longer reasonably needed. Analytics data is kept under the retention settings of the analytics service and only while useful to us.
Your choices and rights
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may ask to access, correct, delete, restrict or receive a copy of your information, or object to its use. You may withdraw consent at any time. You will not be treated unfairly for exercising a privacy right. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Email requests to bogeygolfuae@gmail.com. You may also complain to the data protection authority where you live or where an alleged breach occurred.
Cookies
The site uses necessary storage to remember your analytics choice. Optional Google Analytics cookies are used only after you accept them. Rejecting analytics does not affect the core site. You can change your choice at any time.
Children and security
Membership and event forms are not directed to children under 18. Contact us if you believe a child has submitted information. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy when our website, providers or legal duties change. The date above shows the current version. Questions and privacy requests can be sent to The Bogey Golf Society, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, at bogeygolfuae@gmail.com.
