Data Disclosure Statement

MiClub and Golf Australia CONNECT Platform

MiClub is committed to protecting privacy and the handling of personal information in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

We collect personal information when golf clubs, their staff, their members and other golfers use our services, our mobile applications or interact with us.

To protect the privacy of members and golfers we minimise the personal information we collect and will collect personal information only if it is required to provide our services.   Members’ personal information can be collected only if fully informed consent has been provided by the club and their members. Clubs will need to ensure that proper disclosure is made to, and consent obtained from, their members.  The MiScore app has its own privacy disclosure and consent portals for users.

We have never used members personal information for marketing and have never provided members personal information to third parties for commercial purposes.

MiClub products and data are hosted with Akamai, a global Cloud Infrastructure Service provider. A variety of industry standard measures are in place to keep the data secure.

All data for Australian users is hosted in Australia.

Support for MiClub products is provided by the MiClub support team, all located in Australia.

MiClub has entered into a licence agreement with Golf Australia (GA) to interchange data with the new Golf Australia CONNECT Platform for the purpose of handicapping.

The CONNECT platform is hosted in Australia. Support for the platform is provided in Australia and from overseas locations by GA’s partner, DotGolf.

Under the licence agreement, MiClub may have to provide certain requested personal information of golfers to the CONNECT platform for the purpose of handicapping, e.g. name, club, gender, date of birth, address details, member UID (a new unique identifier to replace the Golflink number)

Other personal information such as email addresses and membership categories, may be requested by GA but will be provided by MiClub only if consent is obtained from the club, which must have obtained consent from its members in order to comply with Privacy and Data Protection Laws.
