For security purposes, if you would like to access personal information that we hold about you, we require you to put your request in writing with your signature.

Your Rights:

If you are a European resident, you have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us through the contact information below.

The GDPR:

Starting May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) becomes enforceable, meaning you must be compliant with it if you have users who reside within the EU.

The GDPR effectively replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC, and includes new requirements that you must meet.

The purpose of the GDPR is much the same as previous regulations: to protect the privacy and personal information of residents of the EU.

The GDPR builds upon old laws to create a more clear and complete set of rules that you must follow when collecting and using personal data from residents of the EU. The goal is for the GDPR to cover the entire region to make compliance easier than dealing with separate laws in multiple different countries.


Third Party Disclosure:

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above.

For example, we use WooCommerce to power our online store – you can read more about how WooCommerce uses your Personal Information here: https://woocommerce.com/privacy-policy/.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.


Behavioural Advertising:

As described above, we use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you.

In addition our Club Sponsors are provided primary advertising space on our website that is viewable by all users of our website. This is designed to typically surpass ad-blockers, however no additional data or personal information is taken from you when you browse these images and company logos.
