1. Data we collect
Account data (name, email, password — stored only as a secure hash by our authentication provider); business and profile data you provide during onboarding and afterwards (company details, contact details, phone, address, markets, specialities, photos); content you post (articles, packages, RFPs, bids, messages, rate sheets); platform usage events (profile views, clicks, campaign impressions) tied to your membership; and billing records. Payments are processed by Stripe — we never receive your card number.
2. How we use it
To operate your membership: showing your profile in the member directory, powering search and partner matchmaking, running the marketplace and fam trips, processing payments and invoices, and sending the notifications you've enabled. We also use aggregated usage data to improve the platform, and we process data where necessary for security, fraud prevention and legal compliance.
3. Legal bases
We process data to perform our contract with you (operating your membership), for our legitimate interests in running a professional trade network, with your consent where required (marketing emails), and to comply with legal obligations.
4. Who sees your data
Other members see your directory profile and the content you publish, controlled by your Privacy settings (email, phone, address and other fields can each be hidden). Our service providers process data on our behalf: Supabase (database and authentication), Vercel (hosting), Stripe (payments) and Resend (email delivery). We do not sell personal data, ever. We may disclose data where the law requires it.
5. International transfers
GGTA is a global network and our providers operate internationally; data may be processed outside your home country under appropriate safeguards offered by those providers.
6. Retention
We keep your data while your account is active. When your membership ends we remove your profile from member view and delete or anonymise personal data within a reasonable period, retaining only what we must for legal, accounting or dispute purposes.
7. Your rights
You can access and correct your profile data directly in the platform, control visibility in Settings → Privacy, and manage email preferences in Settings → Email notifications. You may also request access, correction, deletion or portability of your data, or object to processing, by emailing us. We respond within 30 days.
8. Security
Data is encrypted in transit, access is protected by row-level security controls, and payment credentials never touch our servers. No system is perfectly secure, but we design for least privilege throughout.
9. Age
GGTA is a trade platform for professionals aged 18 and over; we do not knowingly collect data from minors.
10. Changes & contact
We may update this policy and will notify members of material changes. Privacy questions and requests: hello@globalgolftravelassociation.com.
GGTA members can also read this inside the platform, under Settings & privacy. The two are generated from the same source.
