Last Updated: 16 August 2026
We are committed to protecting your privacy and practicing data minimization. This policy outlines how we handle your personal information when you create an account to submit or manage club listings.
1. Information We Collect
When you create an account, we collect and store only one piece of personal data:

2. How We Use Your Information
Your email address is used strictly for the following purposes:
- To authenticate your identity when you sign in.
- To contact you regarding the status of club requests or updates you submit.
- To maintain a secure environment by preventing spam and unauthorized submissions.
3. Optional Location Use on the Clubs Page Map
On the Clubs page, you can optionally tap Use my current location to place a temporary map pin and sort nearby clubs by distance.
- We only request location after you tap the button and grant browser permission.
- The location is used in your browser session to position the map pin and distance sorting.
- We do not store this location in your account profile or submit it as a club update.
- Your browser and third-party location/map providers may process request or network metadata as part of providing this feature.
- If you request travel-time estimates, our routing provider may receive origin/destination coordinates and related metadata needed to calculate them.
- You can turn location off at any time using Turn off my location.
- If you prefer not to share location, use postcode or address search instead.
