Privacy Policy

1) Who we are

GolfTripIndex (“GTI”) operates GolfTripIndex.com. We publish golf trip rankings, trip profiles, course references, and related editorial content.

2) Information we collect

We collect information in three primary ways: (a) information you provide, (b) information collected automatically when you use the Site, and (c) information from service providers (where applicable).

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as health, precise geolocation, or government identifiers). Please do not submit sensitive information to GTI.

3) How we use information

We use information to:

• Operate and improve the Site (performance, navigation, and content quality).
• Respond to inquiries and provide support.
• Send updates or newsletters if you opt in (you can unsubscribe at any time).
• Protect the Site, prevent abuse, and enforce our Terms.
• Measure engagement and understand which trips/pages are most useful.

4) When we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: vendors who help us operate the Site (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery).
• Legal and safety: to comply with law, enforce our Terms, or protect GTI, users, and the public.
• Business changes: if GTI is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets (information may be transferred as part of that transaction).

When we use service providers, we aim to share only what is necessary for them to perform their services.

5) Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site functioning, remember basic preferences, and understand usage patterns.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features.

6) Email communications

If you sign up for GTI emails, we may send you newsletters or product updates from time to time. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You may also contact us to request removal from our mailing list.

7) Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing the Site, meeting legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information.

8) Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9) Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to certain processing of your personal information.

• Unsubscribe: opt out of marketing emails via the unsubscribe link.
• Cookies: manage cookies in your browser settings.
• Requests: contact us to request access, updates, or deletion (subject to legal and operational constraints).

10) Children’s privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

11) International visitors

If you access the Site from outside the country where GTI operates, your information may be processed in jurisdictions with different data protection laws. We take reasonable steps to protect information consistent with this Policy.
