Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect information on Golfapedia.

Last updated: May 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Golfapedia ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you visit our website and use our Interactive 3D golf course tours and directory (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Overview

We are committed to protecting your privacy. We aim to collect only the information we need to operate and improve the Service, and to be transparent about how that information is used. This is a general, placeholder policy and may be updated as our Service evolves.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Information you provide. When you contact us or submit feedback, you may share your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
  • Usage information. We may collect non-identifying details about how you interact with the Service, such as pages viewed, searches performed, and general device or browser information.
  • Approximate location. To show nearby golf courses, we may use your device location (only with your permission) or an approximate location derived from your network connection.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Service;
  • Display relevant golf course results and tours;
  • Respond to your questions, feedback, and support requests;
  • Understand how the Service is used so we can improve it;
  • Protect the Service against abuse, fraud, and security issues.

Cookies and Analytics

We may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to remember preferences, keep the Service working correctly, and measure usage. We may use analytics tools to understand aggregate trends. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some features.

Third-Party Services

The Service relies on trusted third-party providers, which may include mapping and location services, fonts and content delivery networks, analytics, and AI features. These providers process data according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the policies of any third-party services you interact with.

Links to External Sites

The Service may contain links to websites we do not operate. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of every site you visit.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
