Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 5, 2026
1. Who we are
GreenFeeTracker (greenfeetracker.com) is a golf green fee comparison directory. We publish verified pricing data for public and semi-private golf courses across the United States. This policy explains what information we collect when you use our site, how we use it, and your choices.
2. Information we collect
GreenFeeTracker does not require account registration. We collect the following categories of information:
Usage data (automatic)
When you visit our site, standard web server logs and analytics tools record your approximate location (country/region), browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on each page. This data is aggregated and is not linked to your identity.
Contact form submissions
If you submit the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact form submissions to a marketing list.
Rate corrections and course claims
If you submit a rate correction or claim a course listing, we collect identifying information (name, email, course name) to verify and process the request.
Cookies
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. GA4 sets cookies that help distinguish unique visitors and track sessions. No personally identifiable information is stored in these cookies. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
3. How we use information
- To operate and improve the GreenFeeTracker database and website
- To respond to contact form messages and course-related inquiries
- To verify rate corrections and course listing claims
- To understand aggregate traffic patterns and popular markets or course pages
- To detect and prevent abuse of the site or contact form
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use it for advertising targeting. We do not share it with third parties except as described in Section 4.
4. Third-party services
We use a small number of third-party services to operate GreenFeeTracker:
| Service | Purpose | Data shared |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics (GA4) | Site usage analytics | Anonymized usage data, cookies |
| Supabase | Database hosting | Course and metro data; contact form submissions |
| Vercel | Web hosting and CDN | Standard request logs (IP, user agent) |
| Resend | Transactional email (contact form replies) | Name, email, message content |
| Affiliate partners | Affiliate partner links (golf equipment) | Click events (no personal data shared) |
5. Affiliate links
Some pages on GreenFeeTracker contain affiliate links to golf equipment through partner retailers. When you click an affiliate link, you are directed to the retailer's website. We do not share any personal information with affiliate partners. The retailer's own privacy policy governs any data collected after you leave our site. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more detail.
6. Data retention
Contact form messages are retained for up to 12 months, then deleted. Course and market data in our database is retained indefinitely as it forms the core product. Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months per our GA4 account settings.
7. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of personal data we hold about you. Because we do not collect personal data beyond contact form submissions and usage analytics, the most common request is deletion of a contact form submission.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the contact form. We will respond within 30 days.
8. Children's privacy
GreenFeeTracker is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information through our contact form, please contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be noted prominently. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
