1. Introduction

Balls n Tees (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines exactly how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data when you interact with our website, https://ballsntees.golf.

This policy is structured to comply with the Protection of Personal Information Act, No. 4 of 2013 (POPIA) in South Africa and aligns with the core data minimisation principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. What Information We Collect

We only collect personal information that you voluntarily submit to us through our online web forms. We do not passively scrape or collect background data. Depending on your interaction with us, we may collect the following categories of information:

• Contact & Identification Details: Full name, email address, phone number, and company name.

• Enquiry & Service Details: Information regarding the specific services you are interested in, your project requirements, or any questions you submit to us.

• Commercial & Partnership Information: Details provided in relation to partnership proposals, sponsorship opportunities, or supplier enquiries.

• Event & Media Participation: Specific preferences, logistical requirements, or professional background information (including bios and social media handles) when registering for our events or applying to appear as a guest on our podcast.

• Any Other Information You Choose to Provide: We may collect any additional personal data you voluntarily include within the free-text fields of our various web forms.

3. How We Use Your Information (Purpose Limitation)

We operate under a strict principle of purpose limitation. Your data will only be processed for the specific reason it was provided, which includes but is not limited to:

• Responding to Enquiries: To communicate with you, answer your questions, and provide the specific information, proposals, or agency services you requested.

• Event & Media Coordination: To register you for events, issue confirmations, manage logistics, or review and process your application to appear as a guest on our podcast.

• Partnerships & Commercial Discussions: To evaluate, process, and manage any partnership, sponsorship, or supplier relationships you have expressed an interest in.

• Service Delivery: To fulfil any contractual obligations or deliverables you have engaged us for.

• Internal Record-Keeping: To maintain accurate records of your interactions with us for administrative and compliance purposes.

Our Data Guarantee: We do not use your form submissions for generic email marketing blasts unless you explicitly ask us to do so. We will never sell, lease, or distribute your personal data to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

4. Data Retention & Security

• Retention: We only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the specific purpose for which it was collected (e.g., until the enquiry is resolved, the event has concluded, or the partnership discussion is finalised), or as required to comply with statutory legal obligations.

• Security: We implement robust technical and organisational security measures—including secure hosting environments and encrypted form submissions—to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or misuse.
