In short
Build your bag runs in your browser and we do not store your answers. We only hold what you send through the contact form. We never sell your data.
1. Who we are
Affordable Golf Clubs (affordablegolfclubs.co.uk) is a free UK guide that helps golfers choose clubs for their game and budget. It is run by ALIM LTD, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 14528810), which is the data controller for the personal data described here. You can reach us through our contact form.
2. What we collect and why
| What | Why | Lawful basis | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your name, email address and message (contact form) | To read and reply to your message | Legitimate interests (answering you) | Up to 12 months after our last reply |
| Page view counts from Cloudflare Web Analytics | To count visits without cookies | Legitimate interests (running the site) | Not linked to you |
| Your IP address and browser details, as any website receives them | To deliver pages and protect the site from attacks and spam | Legitimate interests (security) | Kept by Cloudflare for short periods for security |
We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.
2.1 Build your bag
Build your bag runs in your browser. Your answers (such as your height, budget and typical score) go into the address of your results page, so you can share or bookmark it. We do not store your answers or link them to you. If you share the link, anyone with it can see those answers.
2.2 Links to retailers
When you follow a link to a retailer such as Amazon, you leave our site. The retailer handles your data under its own privacy policy. Affiliate links tell the retailer you came from us so it can pay us a commission; they do not tell us who you are or what you bought.
3. Who processes data for us
| Provider | What it does for us | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosting, security, Turnstile spam checks, Web Analytics, and Email Routing, which delivers contact form messages to our inbox | Global network |
Each one acts on our instructions and keeps your data secure.
4. Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask us to:
- Give you a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Correct it if it is wrong
- Delete it
- Restrict or object to how we use it
- Move it to another provider, where that applies
To use any of these rights, contact us through the contact form. We reply within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113. We would like the chance to put it right first, so please contact us.
5. Cookies
We set no tracking or advertising cookies. Our cookie policy lists the only one that can appear, a short-lived security cookie from Cloudflare.
6. Children
Our guides are written for adults, including parents choosing clubs for their children. Please do not use the contact form if you are under 13. If you think a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
7. Security
The site is served over HTTPS. Contact form messages are checked for spam and delivered by email; we keep them only as long as the table above says.
8. Changes
We update this policy when what we do changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
