This Privacy Policy describes how Smokin’ Caddie (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you visit or use our website located at smokincaddies.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Age Restriction

The Site is intended solely for individuals who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 21. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from someone under 21, we will delete that information promptly.

We collect information you voluntarily submit through our contact form or appointment scheduling tool, which may include your name, email address, phone number, event details, and any message content you provide. Submitting this information is optional but necessary to respond to your inquiry or schedule a consultation.

Information Collected Automatically. When you visit the Site, our hosting infrastructure and web server automatically collect certain technical data, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected through standard server log files and may be supplemented by analytics tools.

Cookies. The Site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to support basic site functionality. These may include session cookies set by WordPress and plugins necessary for the Site to operate. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.
