Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

FairwayDB is committed to respecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect (very little), how we use it, and your rights as a visitor.

The Short Version

What We Collect

FairwayDB does not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) from visitors. We do not ask for your name, email address, location, or any other personal details. There are no user accounts, no forms to fill out, and no login systems on this site.

Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics, a lightweight, open-source, privacy-friendly analytics tool. Plausible does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR. The data collected is limited to:

• Page URLs visited
• Referral source (how you found the page)
• Browser and operating system type
• Country of origin (based on anonymized IP, which is not stored)

This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual visitors. No personal data is stored, and Plausible does not track users across sites or sessions.

Cookies

FairwayDB does not set any cookies. Plausible Analytics operates without cookies. No first-party or third-party cookies are placed on your device when you visit this site.

Third-Party Services

FairwayDB uses the following third-party services to deliver the site:

• Plausible Analytics — Anonymous traffic analytics as described above. See Plausible's data policy.
• Google Maps — Embedded satellite maps on individual course pages. Google may collect data when these embeds load. See Google's privacy policy.
• OpenStreetMap — Map tiles on state pages and the interactive map. See OSM's privacy policy.

External Links

FairwayDB links to external websites including golf course websites, Google Maps, and other resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit through our links.

Children's Privacy

FairwayDB is a general-purpose informational directory and does not knowingly collect any data from children under 13 (or any other age group). Since we collect no personal data at all, this concern does not apply.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Since we do not collect email addresses, we cannot notify users of changes directly.
