Privacy policy

Professional Golfers Association of Fiji (“Fiji PGA”, “we”). Last updated 11 November 2026. This policy covers the Fiji PGA website (fijipga.org) and the Fiji PGA mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android.

What we collect

• Your membership details — name, membership number, membership category, email address, phone number and the club you play from. These are entered by the secretariat or by you.
• Your sign-in — your password is stored only as a one-way hash, so nobody (including us) can read it. We record sign-in attempts and the time you last signed in to protect accounts.
• Your profile — optional: photograph, job title, location, bio, coaching rate and services. Whether you appear on the public Find a Pro page, and whether your phone and email are shown there, is your choice and you can change it at any time.
• Golf records — the events you enter, your results, order of merit and handicap index.
• Payments — the amount, date, reference and status of membership fees and event entries. Card payments are handled by our payment provider (Stripe): your card number never reaches us or the app. If you pay by bank transfer you may upload a photo or PDF of your receipt, which we keep so the secretariat can verify the payment.
• Messages you send us — for example through the Contact form.
• In the app — if you turn on notifications, a device notification token and the type of device (iPhone, iPad or Android), so we can send you notifications. The app keeps you signed in using a secure token stored in your phone’s protected storage. The app only uses your camera or photo library when you choose to add a profile photo or a payment receipt.

How we use it

• to run the tour: entries, results, order of merit, handicaps and the membership card;
• to take and record membership and event payments;
• to contact you about your membership, entries and payments, and to send notifications you have allowed, such as entries opening, results published or a payment confirmed;
• to run the member directory (visible only to signed-in members) and, if you opt in, the public Find a Pro page;
• to keep the website and app secure.

We do not sell your information and we do not show advertising. The app does not track you across other apps or websites.

Who can see it

• Other signed-in members can see the member directory (name, category, club and, where provided, contact details).
• The public can see tournament results and order of merit, and your Find a Pro listing if you chose to be listed.
• The secretariat and website administrators can see and edit member records, payments and entries so they can run the association.
• Service providers that help us deliver the service: Stripe (card payments), our web hosting and email delivery, and the notification services of Expo, Apple and Google, which carry notifications to your device. They only receive what they need to do that job.

How long we keep it

We keep your membership record while you are a member and afterwards for as long as we need it to run the association. Payment records are kept for as long as accounting and tax rules require. Tournament results are part of the permanent competition history. If you ask us to delete your account we will remove or anonymise your personal details as described on the account deletion page.

Security

The website and app use encrypted connections (HTTPS). Passwords are hashed, administrator access needs a password, and sign-in attempts are limited to stop guessing. No system is perfectly secure, so please choose a strong password and keep it private.

Your choices

• Update your name, phone, email, club and profile at any time in My profile.
• Choose whether you are listed in Find a Pro and whether your phone and email are shown.
• Turn notifications off at any time in your phone’s settings.
• Ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you by writing to info@fijipga.org.

Children

The service is for golf professionals and adult members. It is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes and contact

If we change this policy we will update the date above. Questions, requests and complaints: info@fijipga.org or use the Contact page.
