Welcome to GolfDesk.ai. This Privacy Policy explains how GolfDesk.ai, Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal information when you use our services. We are the data controller for the information processed in accordance with this policy.
This policy is an integral part of our Terms of Service. By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
For any questions about this policy or our data practices, please contact us at robert@miltonsdesk.com.
2. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect through our web application at https://golfdesk.ai, any future mobile applications, and all related services, sales, marketing, or events (collectively, the "Services").
3. Information We Collect
We collect information that you provide directly to us, information we collect automatically when you use our Services, and information we may receive from other sources.
A. Information You Provide Directly
- Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your full name, email address, and phone number.
- Booking Information: When you book a tee time, we collect details related to the reservation, including your golf handicap, playing preferences, and booking history.
- Payment Information: To process reservations, we collect payment details, such as credit card numbers or other payment account information. This information is processed by our third-party payment processors.
- Communications: If you contact us directly for customer support or other inquiries, we may receive additional information about you, such as the contents of your message and any attachments.
B. Information We Collect Automatically
- Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with our Services, such as the pages you view, the features you use, and the date and time of your access.
- Device Information: We collect information about the computer or mobile device you use to access our Services, including your IP address, hardware model, operating system, browser type, and unique device identifiers.
- Location Data: We may collect your general geographic location based on your IP address to provide relevant services and pricing.

4. How We Use Your Information
- To Provide and Manage Services: To create and manage your account, process your tee time reservations, and fulfill our contractual obligations to you.

- Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable legal obligations, including tax and accounting requirements.
5. AI and Automated Decision-Making
GolfDesk.ai uses artificial intelligence and automated systems to enhance our Services. This section provides transparency about how these systems work.
How We Use AI
- Reservation Processing: Our AI processes reservation requests to find and secure available tee times efficiently.
- Tee Time Optimization: Our algorithms analyze historical booking patterns, course availability, and demand to optimize tee time scheduling and availability.
- Personalized Recommendations: We use AI to analyze your booking history and stated preferences to suggest tee times and golf courses that may interest you.
- Fraud Detection: Automated systems analyze transaction data to identify and flag potentially fraudulent activity.
Logic and Significance: The logic involved primarily relies on algorithms that process historical data and user-provided information to make predictions and decisions. For example, our recommendation engine analyzes factors like your past booking times, preferred courses, and handicap to suggest future bookings. The significance of this processing is to provide a faster, more efficient, and personalized booking experience.
Your Rights: Automated decision-making will not, in most cases, produce a legal or similarly significant effect on you. However, where required by applicable law (such as the GDPR), you have the right to request human intervention, express your point of view, and contest a decision made solely by automated means. To exercise this right, please contact us at robert@miltonsdesk.com.
