This Privacy Policy explains how Ian Stafford Golf Coaching ("we", "us") collects and uses personal data when you visit this website or contact us.

Who we are

Data controller: Ian Stafford Golf Coaching, Ireland.

If you have questions about privacy, contact us using the details provided on the site (for example via WhatsApp or email).

What data we collect

  • Contact details you choose to share (name, email, phone/WhatsApp message) when you enquire or book.
  • Booking information (session type, dates, notes you provide).
  • Website usage data (e.g., pages viewed, device/browser info) where enabled via cookies/analytics.

Why we use your data (lawful bases)

  • To respond to enquiries and provide coaching services (performance of a contract / steps before a contract).
  • To manage bookings and administration (legitimate interests).
  • To improve the website (consent for non-essential cookies/analytics, where used).
  • To meet legal obligations (e.g., tax/accounting records).

How we share data

We only share personal data where necessary to run the business—for example with scheduling/booking tools, email providers, payment processors, or website hosting. These providers act as processors or separate controllers depending on the service.

We do not sell your personal data.

International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside Ireland/EEA. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses) where required.

How long we keep data

  • Enquiries: typically up to 24 months, unless you become a client or ask us to delete it sooner (where we can).
  • Client/booking records: kept as needed for service delivery and accounting/legal requirements.
  • Cookie/analytics data: kept according to the cookie settings described in our Cookie Policy.

Your rights

  • Access, correction, deletion (where applicable).
  • Objection to processing and restriction.
  • Data portability (in certain cases).
  • Withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time (see Cookie Policy).
  • Lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission (DPC) in Ireland.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no website can guarantee absolute security.

We may update this policy from time to time. The 'Last updated' date above will change when we do.
