PAYMENT SECURITY & CARD AUTHORIZATION


As a condition of court access, all reservation players must maintain either a valid credit or debit card on file with the Club, or pay a $250.00 refundable cash deposit before the reservation begins. By providing a card, you authorize the Club to charge it for any verified property damage, equipment damage, unpaid fees, or other charges attributable to your reservation. An itemized statement will be provided within 5 business days of any charge. The cash deposit is returned in full after your session if no charges are assessed. Any player who fails to satisfy this requirement will be denied court access without exception or refund. Card data is stored exclusively through PCI-compliant third-party payment processors. We do not store raw card numbers on our servers. You may withdraw card authorization at any time in writing, subject to the cash deposit requirement.

 

COOKIES & TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES


We use cookies and similar tracking technologies including essential cookies required for site functionality, Google Analytics cookies to understand visitor behavior, and Meta Pixel cookies for Facebook and Instagram advertising. You may manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling certain cookies may limit website functionality.

 

MEDIA, PHOTOGRAPHY & SOCIAL MEDIA


By signing our Waiver Agreement, all members and guests grant Northwood Racquet & Fitness LLC a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to photograph, film, and record their image, likeness, and voice on Club premises, and to use such content for promotional and marketing purposes across all media — including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and our website — without compensation or further consent. If you do not wish to be photographed during your visit, please notify Club staff upon arrival.

 

SHARING YOUR INFORMATION


We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with payment processors, email marketing platforms, analytics and advertising providers (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel), court reservation software providers, and legal counsel or law enforcement when required by applicable law. All third-party providers are contractually required to handle your data securely.

 

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY


We offer programs for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children online without verifiable parental or guardian consent. All registration, account creation, and waiver execution for participants under 18 must be completed by a parent or legal guardian.
