Personal Identification Information

We may collect personal identification information from Members or Visitors in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Members or Visitors visit our website, fill out an enquiry form, respond to a survey, enter a competition, make a dinner or golf reservation, book a golf lesson, or engage in any other activity or service we make available.

Members and Visitors may be asked for, as appropriate, name, email address, mailing address, phone number, etc. We will only collect personal identification information from Members or Visitors if they voluntarily submit such information to us, whether through our website, over the phone, or by visiting our facility. Members and Visitors may refuse to supply certain information, but this may limit their ability to use certain services or facilities.

For Members or Visitors under the age of sixteen, parental or guardian consent will be obtained where personal data is required (for example, for golf bookings, lessons, or camps). We do not disclose members’ information to other members or visitors without prior consent.

Any photography from events or competitions at the Club will only be used with prior consent of the Member or Visitor.

Purpose for Collecting Such Information

Balcarrick Golf Club may collect and use Members’ or Visitors’ personal information for the following purposes (with your consent):

• Processing enquiries, contact forms, promotions, and newsletter subscriptions.

• Handling bookings in the Pro Shop or Restaurant.

• Sending marketing communications or surveys.

• Providing updates on membership, events, or safety notices (e.g., course closures via SMS).

• Confirming bookings (golf, restaurant, lessons).

• Ensuring health, safety, and security (including the use of CCTV, retained for 60 days).

Where online bookings are made, you may be redirected to a third-party Booking Management System partner. Our partners are carefully selected to maintain data security.

Retention Period

Personal data will be retained only as long as Members or Visitors consent to receive communications or use our services.

• Members or Visitors can opt out of newsletters or SMS updates at any time.

• Data may be deleted after one year if there has been no engagement.

• Certain data such as name, contact details, and transaction history may be retained for legitimate business purposes.

Balcarrick Golf Club periodically reviews and deletes data no longer required.

Your Rights

Members and Visitors have the following rights under data protection law:

• Right to be informed about how your data is used.

• Right of access to your personal data.

• Right to rectification to ensure data is accurate.

• Right to erasure (e.g., withdrawing consent, unlawful processing, data no longer needed).

• Right to restrict processing of your data.

• Right to object to processing (including direct marketing).

• Right to data portability (reuse your data across services).

• Right not to be subject to automated decision-making or profiling where it has a legal or significant effect.

How We Protect Your Information

We adopt appropriate data collection, storage, and processing practices, as well as security measures, to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

All sensitive data exchanged online happens via SSL-secured communication channels.

Sharing Your Personal Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent Members’ or Visitors’ personal information.

We may share information with trusted third-party service providers and data processors (such as Club V1, Golfnet, BRS, Handicap Master, or newsletter providers) to help operate the Club and its services. Such sharing is limited to the purposes for which you have given consent.

Electronic Newsletters

If a Member or Visitor opts into our mailing list, they may receive Club news, updates, or related information. Unsubscribe instructions are included in each email, or Members and Visitors can contact the Club directly to opt out.
