This policy covers the website that publishes this independent guide to Rancho San Marcos Golf Course. It does not cover the golf course itself, its booking system or its own website, which are run separately and have their own policies.
This website is published by RSM 1804, which is responsible for the information described on this page. Questions about it can be sent to [email protected].
What this site collects
The site is built as plain static pages. There is no sign-up, no login, no shop and no comment section. In practice it handles only two kinds of information:
- Server logs. Like almost every website, the server that delivers the pages records basic technical details of each request: the IP address, the browser’s user agent, the page requested and the time. These logs are used to keep the site secure and working, for example to spot abuse or errors, and they are kept only for a short period before being deleted.
- Contact messages. When someone writes to the editors at the address on the contact page, the guide receives the message and the sender’s email address. That information is used only to read and answer the message.
Nothing else is gathered on purpose, and the site does not build profiles of its readers.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
This site sets no cookies of its own. It does not use analytics software, advertising networks, social media pixels or any other third-party tracker. Fonts are served from the same server as the pages, so loading a page does not send a request to an outside font service.
Links to other websites, including the golf course’s own site and the sources listed on pages such as the course history, lead to services this site does not control. Their privacy practices are their own.
How information is used and shared
Information that reaches this site is used for two purposes only: keeping the site running safely and answering messages. It is not sold, rented or traded. It is not passed to the golf course, to advertisers or to data brokers. It may be disclosed only where the law requires it.
Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to deal with the request and then deleted. Corrections that lead to a change on a page, such as an updated price on the green fees page, are kept as part of the site’s editing notes without the sender’s personal details.
Your rights and choices
Readers in many US states, under their state privacy laws, and readers in the European Union and the United Kingdom, under the GDPR, have rights over their personal information. These include the right to:
- ask what personal information the site holds about them
- ask for that information to be corrected or deleted
- object to or restrict its use
- complain to a data protection authority
Because the site keeps so little, most requests concern a message sent to the editors by email. To make a request, write to the address on the contact page and mention the email address that was used before. No reason is needed.
Children
The guide is written for adult golfers and their families. It is not aimed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. Parents who believe a child has sent a message can ask for it to be deleted.
Changes to this policy
If the way the site handles information changes, for example if a new feature is added, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change. Readers who want to know more about the people behind the guide can read the about page, and the sitemap lists every page on the site.
