Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. At Swifties Badminton, we have a few fundamental principles we follow:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, improve our services, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless it’s required for the ongoing operation of our site.

Swifties manages a number of websites for our own organisation and for clients. It is Swifties’ policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Swifties collects non-personally identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available—such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Swifties collects this data to better understand how visitors use our website. From time to time, Swifties may share non-personally identifying information in aggregate—for example, by publishing reports on website usage trends.

Swifties may also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for users who log in or leave comments on our blogs. This information is disclosed under the same conditions as other personally-identifying information (see below), except that IP addresses from blog commenters may be visible to blog administrators.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Some visitors to Swifties’ websites choose to interact with us in ways that require us to collect personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information collected depends on the interaction.

For example:

  • If you leave a comment on our blog, we may ask for a username and email address.
  • If you sign up for email updates or our newsletter, we will collect your email address.

Swifties collects this information only as necessary to fulfill the purpose of your interaction. You may always refuse to supply personal information, though this may limit your ability to participate in certain activities on our websites.

Aggregated Statistics

Swifties may collect statistics about the behavior of website visitors, such as tracking popular pages or using spam filters to block malicious content. We may display this information publicly or share it with others. However, personally-identifying information is never disclosed in this context.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Swifties only discloses personally-identifying information to:

  1. Employees, contractors, and affiliated organisations who need the information to process it on Swifties’ behalf or provide services through our websites, and
  2. Parties who have agreed not to disclose it to others.

Some of these parties may be located outside your country. By using Swifties websites, you consent to the transfer of your information to them.

We will never rent or sell your personally-identifying information. We may disclose it only if required by law (e.g. subpoena or court order), or if we believe it’s necessary to protect Swifties’ property, rights, users, or the public.

If you are a registered user and have provided your email address, we may occasionally send you an email with updates, new features, or feedback requests. You can opt out at any time.

If you contact us (e.g. through email or support forms), we may publish your request to help respond to it or help other users.

We take all reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of personal information.

Cookies

A cookie is a small data file stored on your computer that helps websites recognize your browser and track your visit. Swifties uses cookies to:

  • Recognize visitors,
  • Track usage patterns,
  • Improve site preferences and performance.

If you prefer not to accept cookies, you can adjust your browser settings to refuse them. However, some parts of our site may not function properly without cookies.

Business Transfers

If Swifties or its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, user information may be transferred to a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that the new entity may continue to use your personal data as described in this policy.

Ads

Ads on our websites may be served by advertising partners who may set cookies. These cookies allow ad networks to gather data to show you relevant ads. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Swifties, but not by external advertisers.

Comments

Comments and content submitted through spam-checking services like Akismet are not saved on our servers unless marked as false positives, in which case we may store them temporarily to improve the system.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes will likely be minor, Swifties may update this Privacy Policy from time to time at our sole discretion. We encourage you to check this page regularly. Your continued use of the site after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
