3. Children and Junior Players
Pinkbay Junior Academy is designed in part for junior golfers.
We recognize that information relating to children requires additional protection. Where required by applicable law, use of the App by a child may require the involvement or consent of a parent or legal guardian.
Parent accounts may be linked with child/player accounts so that parents can manage permitted activities and information on behalf of their child.
We seek to collect only information reasonably necessary for the operation of the App and the player's golf development.
We do not use children's personal information for personalized advertising.
4. Sharing of Information
Personal information is not sold to third parties.
Information may be accessible to authorized users where required for the functionality of the App. For example, relevant player information may be available to an assigned coach or linked parent.
We may also use trusted service providers that provide technical infrastructure, hosting, database, authentication, security, or other services necessary to operate the App.
Such providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services and subject to applicable data-protection requirements.
5. Data Storage and Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
No electronic system can guarantee absolute security, but we aim to use appropriate safeguards for the nature of the information processed.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the App, maintain legitimate club and player-development records, meet legal requirements, and resolve disputes.
Information that is no longer required will be deleted or anonymized where appropriate.
7. Account and Data Deletion
Users, or parents/legal guardians acting on behalf of their child where applicable, may request deletion of an account and associated personal information.
A deletion request can be submitted by contacting us at the contact address listed below.
Following a valid deletion request, we will delete the account and associated personal information unless retention of specific information is required or permitted by applicable law.

If advertising or third-party advertising services are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy and the App's privacy practices will be updated as necessary before such functionality is introduced.
10. Third-Party Services
The App may rely on third-party technical services necessary to provide functionality such as hosting, authentication, database infrastructure, or application distribution.
These services may process limited technical or account information where necessary to provide their functionality.
