This policy applies to anyone who visits our website, joins the Club, attends events, makes a donation, becomes a sponsor, or uses our Gear Hub listings — including UF students, UF partners and faculty, and Gainesville community members.

2. Information We Collect

  • Contact and membership information — name, email, phone number, UF affiliation (or Gainesville residency/access details), and any information you provide when signing up or joining.
  • Donation and sponsorship information — name, contact details, donation or sponsorship amount, and payment details processed through a third-party payment processor (we do not store full payment card numbers).
  • Gear Hub listings — equipment details and contact information you submit to buy or sell squash gear through the site.
  • Communications — messages you send us, including questions about stringing services, events, or membership.
  • Website usage data — basic technical information (such as browser type and pages visited) that may be collected automatically through standard web analytics or hosting tools.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To manage Club membership, events, and communications
  • To process donations and recognize sponsors as described on our website
  • To facilitate Gear Hub listings between buyers and sellers
  • To connect members with club-recommended or third-party stringing services
  • To improve our website and programming

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in limited circumstances:

  • Payment processors — to process donations or sponsorship contributions securely.
  • Gear Hub counterparties — contact details necessary to complete a buy/sell connection between users.
  • Third-party stringing providers — only if you choose to contact a listed alternative directly; we do not control their privacy practices.
  • University of Florida — where required for court access, facility use, or club recognition compliance.
  • Legal requirements — if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of the Club or its members.

5. Sponsor and Donor Recognition

If you become a sponsor or donor, we may publicly display your name or organization on our website or during events as described in our sponsorship benefits, unless you request otherwise.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us. However, no method of online transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required for club records, sponsorship recognition, or legal compliance.

8. Your Choices

  • You may request that we update, correct, or delete your personal information.
  • You may opt out of promotional or membership communications at any time.
  • You may ask that your name be removed from public sponsor/donor recognition.
