Privacy Policy

Updated October 18, 2026

BirdieLife Japan Golf does not create user accounts, process golf reservations, or collect payment details.

Information handled by this site

The interactive checklist and calculators operate in the browser. Checklist selections are not stored after the page session. Standard server logs may contain technical information such as IP address, browser type, requested URL, and access time for security and service operation.

External websites

Links to golf courses, operators, and booking platforms lead to independent services with their own privacy policies. Information submitted on those sites is handled by those services, not BirdieLife.

Analytics, advertising, and cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 only after you choose “Allow analytics”. Until then, or if you choose “No thanks”, we do not load Google Analytics or send it page and click events. You can use the whole site without agreeing. We do not use these statistics for advertising, and Google signals and ad personalization are disabled.

With your permission, Google receives page paths and titles, referring website domains, browser and device information, and clicks to booking websites, official course websites, other external links, or email and telephone links. Analytics cookies use pseudonymous identifiers to distinguish visits. Our click events do not include email addresses, phone numbers, form contents, link text, or destination query strings. Opening a booking or email link does not mean a booking was completed or a message sent.

Google processes this information to provide reports and may process it on servers outside your country. See Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from partner sites. GA4 does not log or store individual IP addresses, although an IP address is used when connecting to Google and deriving approximate location.

Our analytics cookies are configured to expire after 60 days and may renew during consenting visits. We store your analytics choice in your browser’s local storage. Use “Turn off analytics” at the bottom of any page to stop future collection and remove this site’s analytics cookies; this does not erase data already processed. “Analytics preferences” lets you reconsider a declined choice. Clearing browser storage also clears the choice. We respect Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals by leaving analytics off.

Questions about this policy can be sent through our contact page.

GA4 user-level and event-level data retention is set to two months, without resetting the user retention period on new activity. This setting does not delete aggregated standard reports after two months.

Policy updates

This policy may be updated when site features or legal requirements change. The effective date will be revised when material changes are published.
