Privacy Policy for Bayswater Bowls Club

​

Last Updated: May 2026

Welcome to the Bayswater Bowls Club website (http://www.bayswaterbowlsclub.com/). We value the privacy of our members, guests, and visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website and our club.

​

​

​

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that helps us run the club effectively and provide a great experience for our community. This includes:

  • Personal Information You Provide: When you contact us via email (club@bayswaterbowls.com), sign up as a site "member" or use forms on our website, we may collect your name, phone number, and email address.

  • Media and Photos: We occasionally take and publish photographs of members or non-members playing bowls, participating in events, or socializing at the club. These may be featured on our website or social media pages to promote the club.

  • Website Analytics (Automatically Collected): Our website is hosted on the Wix platform. Wix automatically collects standard, non-identifying technical data when you visit our site, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing habits (e.g., pages viewed).

​

​

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for internal club purposes, including:

  • Responding to your enquiries, memberships, or tournament registrations.

  • Keeping members informed about club news, schedules, and events.

  • Promoting the club and celebrating community events through photos.

​

​

3. Sharing Your Information

We respect your privacy and do not sell your personal data. However, as a sports club, we may occasionally share limited information under specific circumstances:

  • With Other Bowls Clubs or Associations: Your details may be shared with regional or national bowls associations (such as Bowls Victoria / Bowls Australia) or other clubs for official competition, pennant scheduling, or administrative purposes.

  • Our Promise: We strictly limit the amount of information shared to only what is necessary, ensuring your personal details are protected.

​

​

4. How Your Data is Secured (Wix Hosting)

Our website is built on and hosted by Wix.com. Wix provides the online platform that allows us to run our website and connect with you.

Your data may be stored through Wix’s secure data storage, databases, and general applications. Wix handles security on our behalf using industry-standard protection, which includes:

  • Secure servers and data encryption in transit (HTTPS/SSL protocols).

  • Data at rest encrypted using secure commercial standards (AES-256).

  • Continuous monitoring for potential system vulnerabilities and threats.

​

​

5. Cookies and Tracking

Because our site is built on Wix, it uses cookies to ensure the website runs smoothly and to measure traffic through Wix Analytics. Cookies are small text files placed on your device. You can choose to accept or decline cookies through your web browser settings at any time.

​

​

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your personal information. You have the right to:

  • Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

  • Ask us to correct or update any incorrect information.

  • Request that we delete your contact information from our website systems.

  • Photo Removal: If you see a photo of yourself or your child on our website that you would prefer we remove, please let us know, and we will take it down promptly.
