This collection includes automatically collected information, and generally does not include personal information unless you provide it through our mobile application or Website or you choose to share it with us. 

    Methods we use include:      

  • cookies (which may be session-based or persistent) – see more about cookies and other tracking tools below;

  • Website and mobile application log files (which are created automatically in connection with access to and use of our Website and mobile application);

​Club Website: During normal usage, you can visit our Website without communicating any personal information beyond that which is automatically collected (e.g. cookies, etc.). However, to make use of certain features on our Website, such as booking sports and other activities, and reviewing personal account information, you may need to log in online with a username and password. Passwords should contain a unique combination of letters, numbers and symbols and members should not disclose their login information to third parties. The Club will not be responsible for disclosure of personal information by a member, or for a member’s failure to safeguard his or her personal information.

You should be aware that when you share personal information, including photographs of yourself or others in public areas of our Website, including social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, this information might be seen and used by others. The Club bears no responsibility for the disclosure of such information by members at their own instance.  We urge you to exercise good judgment when choosing to share personal information in these forums.
Please note that basic member contact information is made available on the Website Member Roster. Information typically includes Member name, telephone numbers and email address (if available). This is only available to Members who log into the Website. Member contact information may also be available in printed rosters for individual Sports Sections.

Cookies and Other Tracking Tools: When you visit our Club Websites or interact with one of our electronic promotion or communications (including emails), we may collect and store information about your visit or interaction with that promotion or communication on a de-identified, aggregate basis using "cookie" technology and other tracking tools.

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard drive by a website. Cookies store information that can be read by a web server. We use cookies for many purposes. For example, we may use them to tell us the time and length of your visit, the pages you look at on our sites, and the site you visited just before coming to ours. We may also record the name of your Internet service provider. The information we collect using cookies allows us to measure site activity and tailor your experience within our Website. We also use cookies to improve the functionality of our web site and to facilitate navigation and security across the site. The goal is to save you time and provide you with a more meaningful visit.

If you are concerned about cookies, most web browsers allow you to modify your browser's settings so that it does not accept cookies or notifies you when you receive a cookie. If you do not know how to modify your browser settings please consult your browser documentation. You may visit the Club Website with your cookies turned off. However, some functionality of our site may be impaired and you may not be able to access some of the areas of our site, which require cookies for customization and personalization.

We may also use web beacons (sometimes called pixel tags or GIFS, which are small images embedded into websites or emails that send information about your computer, tablet, phone, or other device when you visit our Website, use or mobile application, or open an email we send to you) to help us track usage of our Website and the success of our electronic communications and advertisements. For example, web beacons may be used to tell us whether a web page has been viewed or whether e-mail messages have been opened and acted upon by collecting information such as when an email message is opened, how many times an email message is forwarded, the type of software, device, operating system and browser used to deliver the email and whether a link contained within the email message has been "clicked".
