Apple Hill Tennis Club is a small, member-run club in West Dover, Vermont. This policy explains what happens to information when you visit our website. The short version: our website has no forms, no accounts, no advertising, and no tracking or analytics cookies, so we do not collect personal information from visitors.
1. Information We Collect
From the website: none.We do not have contact forms, sign-up forms, logins, shopping carts, or comment sections. We do not use advertising networks, tracking pixels, or analytics tools such as Google Analytics, and we do not set cookies on visitors’ browsers.
When you email us. If you contact us at applehilltennisclub@gmail.com, we receive whatever you choose to send — typically your name, email address, and your message. We use it only to reply to you and to administer membership.
Standard server logs. Our website is hosted by Vercel, which — like essentially every web host — automatically records technical request data such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested, in order to serve the site and protect it from abuse. We do not use these logs to build profiles of visitors.
2. How We Use Information
- To answer questions you email us about membership, guests, or the club.
- To administer memberships and communicate with members about club matters.
- To keep the website running and secure.
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We do not send marketing email, and we do not share your information with advertisers.
3. Who We Share Information With
We share information only with the services that make the website and our email work — our web host (Vercel) and our email provider — and only to the extent needed to operate. We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the club, our members, or the public.
4. Photographs of Members and Guests
Our blog sometimes includes photographs taken at the club — round robins, social events, and play on the courts — which may show members and guests. We publish these to share club life, not to identify individuals, and we do not tag or name people in photographs without their agreement.
If you appear in a photograph on this site and would like it removed, email us at applehilltennisclub@gmail.com and we will take it down promptly. You do not need to give a reason.
5. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Because we collect so little — essentially only what you email us — these requests are usually simple to honor.
To make a request, email applehilltennisclub@gmail.com. We aim to respond within 30 days.
6. Data Security and Retention
The site is served over HTTPS. We keep email correspondence and membership records only as long as needed to run the club and meet any legal obligations, and we delete them when they are no longer needed. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Children's Privacy
The website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Families are welcome at the club; if you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
8. Links to Other Sites
Our site links to third-party websites — for example, a map service for directions. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their policies.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. If we ever begin collecting information through the site — for example, by adding a contact form or analytics — we will update this policy first.
