Privacy Policy

Effective: October 2026

1. Data Controller

The data controller for this website is:
Ralf List
Luise-Hensel-Straße 104, 52066 Aachen
Email: info@mindofgolf.com

2. Hosting and Server Log Files

This website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf (server location: Germany). When you visit this website, the hosting provider automatically collects information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, time of the server request, and IP address. This data is not combined with other data sources. The collection is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest in the technically error-free display and optimization of this website).

3. Fonts

This website uses the Fraunces and Public Sans fonts. The font files are served directly from our own server; no connection is made to Google Fonts or any other external provider, so no data (e.g., your IP address) is transmitted to third parties for this purpose.

4. Contact Form

On our contact page, we offer you the option to contact us via a form. The data you enter (name, email address, message) is transmitted to us and stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry. We do not share this data with third parties without your consent. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (processing your inquiry) or Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries). Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed to process your inquiry. If you contact us via email or phone instead, this applies accordingly to the data transmitted in that process.

5. Google reCAPTCHA

To protect our contact form from automated spam abuse, we use the “reCAPTCHA” service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. In this process, technical information such as your IP address and other data required by reCAPTCHA is transmitted to Google and evaluated there to distinguish automated submissions (bots) from human input; data may be transferred to the United States. This verification process runs automatically in the background without requiring you, for example, to select images. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest in protecting this website from abuse). For more information: policies.google.com/privacy.

6. Newsletter (SendFox)

We use the SendFox service, provided by Sumo Group Inc., 1305 E. 6th St #3, Austin, TX 78702, USA, to send our newsletter. When you subscribe to the newsletter, your email address is transmitted to SendFox and stored there for the purpose of sending newsletter emails; data may be transferred to the United States. Subscription is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you may revoke at any time with future effect, e.g., via the unsubscribe link in every newsletter email. For more information, please see SendFox’s privacy policy.

7. Cookies, Tracking, and Audience Measurement

This website does not use any third-party analytics, marketing, or tracking tools (e.g., no Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel) and does not create user profiles. The services mentioned in sections 5 and 6 (Google reCAPTCHA, SendFox) may set their own necessary cookies to ensure the technical functionality of their respective services; further information on this can be found in the providers’ privacy policies linked there.

For our own anonymous reach measurement, we store the following on our server when a page is accessed: the page accessed, the domain of the referring website, device type, browser and operating system family, and, if applicable, campaign parameters in the URL (utm). Your IP address is not stored in this process. A checksum is generated from the IP address and browser identifier, combined with a random value that changes daily; this checksum allows us to aggregate page views only for the same day; it is not possible to identify you personally. No cookies are set, and no data is transferred to third parties. The entries are deleted after 13 months. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest in a data-minimal analysis of the use of this website).

8. SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” in your browser’s address bar.

9. Your Rights

You have the right at any time to receive, free of charge, information about your personal data stored by us, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to have this data corrected, deleted, or its processing restricted. You also have the right to object to the processing of your data and the right to data portability. For this and any other questions, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice.

10. Right to File a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your workplace, or the location of the alleged violation.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy will be updated as soon as new features (e.g., additional analytics tools) are added to this website.
