• Usage data — which destinations you view and select, used to improve recommendations.

How We Use It

Your data is stored in encrypted cloud databases (Redis Cloud) with automatic expiration. Trip plans are retained for 90 days. Account data is retained for 1 year of inactivity.

Sharing and Selling Your Information

When you give us your email — to have your itinerary sent to you, save a trip, grab a resource, or reach out — we may share or sell your personal information to relevant vendors and partners so they can follow up with offers for your golf trip. The categories that may be shared or sold are your identifiers (name, email, phone) and your golf-trip profile (destinations, dates, group size, budget, and the courses, lodging, and preferences you selected), together with the behavioral signals we recorded while you used the planner.

Under the CCPA/CPRA and similar laws this is a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, and you have the right to opt out at any time. Opt out at our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page, or send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser — we honor GPC automatically as an opt-out. Until you opt out, we may share or sell the categories described above. We don’t knowingly collect or sell information from anyone under 18.

Your Rights

You can request deletion of your data at any time by emailing info@handicaphq.com. You also have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information — exercise it at /do-not-sell or via a Global Privacy Control signal.
