Privacy & Cookie Policy

Women Golf The World | Effective October 17, 2026

Review Draft - Website Technology Verification Pending
 
1. Who We Are And What This Policy Covers
 
Women Golf The World (WGTW), based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, provides destination-marketing and editorial services to industry clients worldwide and travel-planning and referral services marketed to U.S. customers. This policy describes information handled through our website, email, telephone, forms, events and offline communications. Updated October 17, 2026. This review draft must be matched to the website's actual providers, tracking tools and controls before publication.
 
2. Information We Collect
 
Information you provide may include names, contact and business details, travel interests, dates, group size, budget, golf preferences, correspondence, booking and payment records, stories, photographs and permissions. Travel needs may include dietary or accessibility information voluntarily supplied for arrangements. We also request an emergency contact's name, relationship and valid telephone number and the traveler's permission to call that person in an emergency. Please tell the contact they have been designated and keep the information current. Do not send unnecessary medical details, passport copies or full payment-card information by ordinary email.
 
Our hosting, form, communication and payment providers may collect information on our behalf. Where implemented, cookies, log files and similar tools may collect IP address, browser/device information, pages visited, referral links, timestamps and campaign interactions. Actual cookie providers, purposes and durations require verification before this draft is published; no particular technology is represented as installed by this paragraph.
 
3. How We Use Information
 
We use information to respond to inquiries, prepare proposals, deliver agreed services, make authorized travel introductions, administer bookings and payments, manage permissions and editorial submissions, send requested communications, protect security and meet legal obligations. Emergency information is used as reasonably necessary for safety or emergency assistance, not unrelated advertising. Designating an emergency contact does not itself authorize that person to make medical or financial decisions.
 
4. Sharing And Travel Partners
 
We share information reasonably needed for an authorized request with the identified travel partner, resort, event provider, host or other responsible supplier. Independent partners contract for and administer their own services and have their own privacy policies. California traveler bookings and trip payments are directed to the designated travel partner under the disclosed arrangement. Referral permission does not automatically authorize unrelated partner marketing.
 
Service providers may process information for website hosting, forms, email, payments, recordkeeping, security or analytics under appropriate arrangements. We may also disclose information as lawfully necessary for professional advice, fraud prevention, safety, legal process or a business transfer with appropriate safeguards. Personal data supplied by tourism boards or business clients requires an agreed lawful purpose and any required data-processing or transfer arrangements.
 
5. Separate Choices And Marketing
 
A destination, Passport Portal, brochure or travel inquiry permits us to respond and follow up on that request; it is not automatic newsletter enrollment or permission to publish your story or image. Newsletter subscription, travel introductions and editorial/photo permission are separate choices. Use the unsubscribe option in marketing emails or contact us; necessary booking, legal and service messages may continue. We do not authorize unrelated sale of inquiry lists or partner marketing merely because you contacted WGTW. Publication and likeness uses follow the applicable express permission.
 
6. Cookies, Analytics And Browser Choices
 
Cookies and similar technologies can support essential security/operation, preferences, analytics and advertising where deployed. Linked websites, social platforms and embedded services may have independent practices. Nonessential tools requiring consent must not operate before the required affirmative choice. Silence and preselected boxes are not consent. Where provided, preference controls should allow choices to be changed or withdrawn; browser settings can also restrict cookies but may affect functionality.
 
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control are different signals. The website's actual response to Do Not Track, cross-site third-party tracking and any legally required Global Privacy Control handling must be verified and described before publication. WGTW does not intend to sell information for money; some advertising technologies can nevertheless constitute sale or sharing under privacy law. Whether such tools operate, and any required opt-out links or mechanisms, must be confirmed. This policy does not establish that a consent banner or opt-out system has been implemented.
 
7. Security, Retention And Children
 
We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information and purpose; no system or transmission is completely secure. Information is retained as reasonably necessary for the request, service, accounting, permissions, security, disputes and legal duties, then deleted or anonymized as appropriate. Different record categories may require different periods. The website and services are not directed to children under 13. Contact us if a child has supplied personal information. Publication identifying a minor requires appropriate guardian permission; a traveler's permission does not authorize another person's likeness.
 
8. California Privacy Rights Where Applicable
 
Where applicable law covers WGTW, California residents may request access/knowledge, correction and deletion, opt out of sale/sharing, limit qualifying sensitive-information uses, use an authorized agent and exercise rights without unlawful discrimination. Contact us using the information below. We reasonably verify identity and agent authority without collecting unnecessary data. Covered access, correction and deletion requests generally receive a response within 45 days, subject to lawful extensions and exceptions. Qualifying opt-out signals and requests will be handled as applicable law requires. California rights and regulatory complaints are not waived by Florida governing law or contractual dispute clauses. The applicability of CCPA thresholds and actual tracking practices must be confirmed; this provision does not claim California Seller of Travel registration.
 
9. GDPR And UK GDPR Where Applicable
 
For information whose purposes and means WGTW determines, WGTW acts as controller. Where these laws apply, processing must rely on an appropriate basis, such as requested pre-contract steps or contract performance, legal duties, properly assessed legitimate interests or specific consent. Sensitive information requires additional lawful conditions and any necessary explicit consent. Required service information is distinguished from optional marketing and publication choices.
 
Applicable rights may include access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability, objection and withdrawal of consent without affecting prior lawful processing. Requests generally receive a response within one month, subject to permitted extensions and exceptions. Individuals may complain to the competent supervisory authority. Information may be processed in the United States and supplier locations; restricted transfers require an available legal mechanism and appropriate safeguards. Details of applicable safeguards may be requested. No solely automated decision with legal or similarly significant effects is described or authorized by this policy. U.S.-focused travel sales do not by themselves determine privacy-law applicability.
 
10. Requests, Changes And Contact
 
Email [email protected] with the subject Privacy Request, identifying your request and a safe way to reply. Do not send full card details or unnecessary identity documents. We may need proportionate identity verification and may retain records where law requires. This policy's revision date identifies changes; material changes receive further notice or consent where required. Updates do not retroactively authorize consent-dependent uses. Florida and applicable federal law do not displace nonwaivable rights elsewhere. The public Privacy & Cookie Policy must accurately describe implemented practices, not merely intended controls.
