Effective Date: 4/23/2026
Pine Island Country Club (“Pine Island,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the privacy of our members and users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use the Pine Island Country Club mobile application (the “App”).
By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
 
1. Information We Collect
The Pine Island Country Club mobile application collects limited personal information necessary to provide member services within the App.
Information You Provide

This information is used solely to identify you as a member and provide access to club features.
 
Location Information (Geofencing)
The App may use location services to support geofencing features.
 
Geofencing is a technology that allows the App to detect when a user enters or leaves a predefined geographic area (for example, the Pine Island Country Club property).
When enabled, the App may temporarily access your device’s location to:
- Trigger relevant notifications when you arrive at or leave the club
- Enable location-based features within the App
- Improve member convenience while using club services
 
Location data used for geofencing:
- Is used only to trigger app functionality
- Is not stored longer than necessary for the feature to operate
- Is not shared with third-party websites, services, or software
 
You may enable or disable location permissions at any time through your device settings.
 
Information We Do NOT Collect
 
The App does not collect or process payment or financial information.
Payments for club services are handled outside of the App through separate systems.
 
Device and Usage Information
 
The App may automatically collect limited technical information such as:
- Device type

5. Data Security
 
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
 
While we take appropriate security measures, no digital system can guarantee absolute security.
 
6. Children's Privacy
 
The Pine Island Country Club App is intended for use by club members and is not directed to children under 13 years of age.
 
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that such information has been collected, we will delete it promptly.
