This Privacy Policy explains how Breakthrough Golf Alliance (“BGA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you visit breakthroughgolfalliance.org, contact us, or use links and forms connected with our programs, fundraising, sponsorships, and events.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Information you provide. We may collect information you choose to give us, such as your name, email address, telephone number, organization, message, sponsorship interest, volunteer interest, or other information submitted through a form or email.
Donation and payment information. Donations, sponsorships, auction activity, and related payments may be completed through GolfStatus or another third-party service. Those providers process payment-card and transaction information under their own privacy policies and terms. BGA does not receive or store your complete payment-card number through this website.
Information collected automatically. Our website provider and related services may automatically collect limited technical information, including IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring page, date and time of access, and cookie or similar-technology data. This information helps operate, secure, and improve the website.
HOW WE USE INFORMATION
We may use information to respond to inquiries; administer donations, sponsorships, programs, events, and volunteer relationships; send updates you request; maintain records; protect the website and our community; comply with legal obligations; and evaluate and improve our outreach.
HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION
We may share information with service providers that help us operate the website and programs, including GoDaddy, GolfStatus, email providers, payment processors, and professional advisers. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with an organizational transaction. We do not sell personal information.

EMAIL AND COMMUNICATION CHOICES
You may ask us to update your contact information or stop nonessential email communications. Messages that are necessary to complete a transaction or respond to your request may still be sent.
DATA RETENTION AND SECURITY
We retain information only as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, security, and legal compliance. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
