Privacy Policy
The Royal Glenora Club (“RGC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our Members. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information when Members use the Royal Glenora Club mobile application (the “App”), including features related to location services and geofencing.
By using the App, Members consent to the collection and use of information as outlined in this Privacy Policy.
1. Geofencing & Location Services
What Is Geofencing?
The App may use geofencing technology to enhance the Member experience. Geofencing uses a device’s GPS or location services to create virtual boundaries around specific locations, such as Club facilities or event spaces.
Geofencing may be used to:
Send notifications or promotions when a Member enters or exits Club locations
Enable location-based features such as arrivals, event reminders, or special offers
Improve the relevance of content and services within the App
How We Use Location Data
If a Member enables location services, the App may use location data to:
Trigger notifications or actions when entering or leaving a geofenced area
Support real-time event notifications and location-based services
Collect
aggregate and anonymized
location trends to improve Club operations and App functionality
Background location tracking may be enabled for certain features but only with Member permission.
Member Control & Consent
Members always remain in control of location services:
Opt-In:
Location services must be enabled through the Member’s device settings
Opt-Out:
Members may disable location services at any time, which may limit certain App features
2. Location Data We Collect
When geofencing is enabled, we may collect:
Precise location data:
GPS coordinates when a Member is near or within a geofenced area
Time and frequency data:
When and how often a Member enters or exits these areas
3. Sharing of Location Data
A Member’s precise location data is used only to deliver App services and is
not sold
or shared for advertising purposes.
Location data may be shared only when necessary to:
Provide specific location-based services through trusted third-party partners
Comply with legal, regulatory, or safety obligations
Support operational efficiency using anonymized data (e.g., reporting congestion trends for staff planning)
4. Disabling Geofencing
Members may disable location services at any time via their device settings. Once disabled, location-based notifications and geofencing features will no longer function.
5. Protection of Location Data
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect location data, including encryption and secure storage practices. Location data is retained only as long as necessary to support App functionality and is deleted when no longer required.

10. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect Member information. While we strive to safeguard personal data, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
