What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Information about you
We collect and store the data about you that you give to us when you register with us. This includes your name, your address (when provided), your email, your phone number and any official golf membership number you may have. If you attend a tournament we will keep your golf results from the qualifying rounds and the matchplay. We ask for and keep this information so we can efficiently run our golf tournament each year, and so we can communicate with you about it.
Our communications with you
We keep you informed of various things relating to the tournament, it’s sponsors and it’s participants through this website. People running things, and others who want to help post helpful, intelligent, and sometimes even funny material for your enjoyment and reading pleasure. Depending on who you are and how you stand out to others, you may find yourself mentioned from time to time. It will all be in jest. We try to keep you up to date with the website by sending you newsletters from time to time, though this will depend on whether there is new content. We will also email you our invitation each year. This enables you to enter the annual tournament. You can unsubscribe from any of our communications as you wish by going to our ‘Newsletter’ page.
Comments
When people leave comments on our site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to others who may look at the site in the context of your comment.

Who we share your data with
You authorise and permit us to use your personal information for the purposes of promoting, organising and running the Devil’s Own Golf Tournament, including sharing with sponsors who support our event. This may mean you get emails from them (from time to time). They do this as they want your support as well.
We may make your historic performance in the Tournament known through our website for both you and other DO participants to view and marvel at. If you win the event we will probably take lots of photos of you and mention your name a lot as winning this event is something you should be proud of and the world needs to know. You agree to us doing this for the benefit of humankind and our long running tournament.
Your personal information
For users that register on our website, we hold the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their own personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Our site enables your basic details to be seen by other approved users (DO’ers, like you) in a “Members” section. You can adjust your own privacy settings for that section if you wish.
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you and we will do so. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
