Below are the summaries of our terms & conditions and policies. You can access the full policies and terms & conditions at the end of each summary.
Summary Registrant Terms & Conditions
Thank you for registering your participation in the Gay Games 11 Hong Kong 2022 (Games). Although we at GGHK Limited look forward to seeing you, whether you are an athlete, volunteer, official, spectator, supporter or any other participant, you should note that your registration carries some responsibilities which you should be aware of.
We expect you to conduct yourself appropriately to ensure that both you and other participants enjoy themselves and have a good time. In addition to abiding with local laws, you should also follow our Gender Inclusion, Health & Well Being Policies, and Code of Conduct. We also expect you to abide by the Federation Principles of Participation, Inclusion, and Personal Best. Please also follow any instructions that Games volunteers and officials may request of you.
We are a non-political and non-profit organisation that was specifically established to organise a large diversity sports event in Hong Kong. This is our only focus. There are other organisations that are better suited to express political views or promote other causes. (If we tried to change all wrongs in the world, we may end up changing nothing.)
Taking part in the Games involves an element of risk, particularly if you are an athlete or some other active participant. You should not only be 18 years old when the Games start but also be of appropriate physical and mental fitness for your participation level. We cannot be liable for any injury you may suffer or property loss during your time in Hong Kong, but we will provide any assistance we can, including providing your personal information to medical services where required. We recommend that you have insurance for your stay.
Our running of the Games will be subject to many factors, including some which are out of our control. Therefore, we may need to make changes to the Games, from changes to the venues, sports and events to postponing or even cancelling the Games. We can only refund your fees if we cancel the Games, but will not if you withdraw your participation for any reason.
When you participate in the Games, we may take photographs or otherwise record your performance. This is both to memorialise this wonderful event but also to share it with others who cannot attend as well as to spread the word to future participants at future games. We appreciate your consent to allowing us to do that.
All your personal information collected via registration by fuseSPORT (a vendor engaged by us) will be controlled by them and used for your participation under the Federation’s privacy policy. You can write to the Federation at any time if you have privacy questions. We have set up a Disputes Committee to resolve issues arising for these terms (such as athlete sport categorisation, etc). Matters that cannot be resolved by them will have to be referred to the courts using Hong Kong law.
The above is a simplified summary of the full version of the Participant Terms and Conditions, which takes priority if there is any discrepancy with the above summary.
Summary of the
EEA and Non-EEA Privacy Policies
GGHK Limited takes your privacy very seriously.
We collect and control your information (such as your contact information (name, e-mail or street address, phone number etc.) and demographic information (age, country of residence, preferred language etc.)) when you communicate with us by entering competitions and surveys, on our website & apps or indirectly through third party platforms (Facebook, etc). We may also provide it to third parties (partners, sponsors and marketers) and outside of Hong Kong and/or use it for research, all on an aggregate, anonymised basis. Although providing your information is not mandatory, we will not be able to provide you with services in some cases if you do not provide it.
We will take steps to protect and use your information generally to organise the Gay Games 11 Hong Kong 2022 (Games), and specifically for your participation in them or for any other specific purpose you may have provided it to us. We will also use it for marketing purposes where you have consented to that. Your information is stored in a secure environment and restrict access only those who need to use it for one of the permitted purposes. We will retain your information for the period necessary for that.
If you are a user from the European Economic Area (EEA), we will transfer your information outside of the EEA. We may also use profiling mechanisms but you have information rights generally as set out the Privacy Policy for EEA users, such as right to access, rectify or erase your information, etc.
If you are outside of the EEA, you also have rights under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Chapter 486) of the Laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
You can contact us at privacy@gghk2022.com or at Suite 701, 7/F, The L Plaza, 367-375 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong if you wish to opt out of any marketing or any other communication, or have any questions.
Please note that your information collected via registration by fuseSPORT (a vendor engaged by us) will be controlled by them and used for your participation under the Federation’s privacy policy. You can write to the Federation at any time if you have privacy questions.
