Privacy Policy

Effective August 1, 2026. This policy applies to www.playprivategolf.com.

We keep collection to a minimum. Specifically:

• Information you give us. When you contact us or submit an event, we collect what you choose to provide — typically your name, email address, and the event details.
• Usage and analytics data. Aggregated, largely anonymized information about how the directory is used, such as pages viewed and common searches, so we can improve it.
• Technical data. Standard information sent by your browser, including IP address, browser type, device type, and referring page.

We do not ask for or store payment information, because we never process registrations or payments.

We use information to respond to your messages, review submitted events, keep listings accurate, understand which parts of the directory are useful, protect the site from abuse, and display advertising that helps fund it. We do not sell your personal information.

A cookie is a small file stored on your device. This site uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, for analytics, and — as described below — for advertising served by third parties.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking cookies will not stop you from using the directory, though some preferences may not be remembered.

This site may display advertising served by third-party vendors, including Google. These disclosures apply to that advertising:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info, or, in Europe, at youronlinechoices.eu.
• Third-party vendors we do not control may also use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to measure ad performance. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies.

Advertising is kept separate from what we publish. Advertisers have no influence over our listings or guides, as described in our editorial standards.

We use analytics services to understand aggregate traffic patterns. These services may set cookies or use similar identifiers. We use this data to improve the site, not to build advertising profiles of individuals ourselves.

Play Private Golf does not process event registrations or payments. When you register for an outing, you do so directly with the charity or organizer, under their own privacy practices and terms. We encourage you to review their policies before providing any information to them.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information. These can include the right to access the information we hold about you, request its correction or deletion, object to or restrict certain processing, request portability, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, our legal bases for processing are your consent (for advertising and analytics cookies), our legitimate interests (in operating and securing the site), and, where applicable, compliance with legal obligations. If you are a California resident, we do not sell personal information as that term is defined by California law.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our contact page and tell us what you would like us to do. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

We keep the information you send us only as long as needed for the purpose it was provided — for example, to review an event submission or resolve a support question — and then delete it. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

The site is operated in the United States. If you access it from elsewhere, information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

We may update this policy as the site or applicable law changes. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes will be made clear rather than slipped in quietly.
