Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 12/1/2025

Go Birdie Go (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

By using Go Birdie Go, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Services.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

Account Information:
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and login credentials. A phone number may also be provided optionally by you, but it is not required for use of the Services.

Payment Information:
We do not directly collect or store payment details. All purchases are processed through RevenueCat and your app store provider (Apple App Store / Google Play).

Performance Data

We collect golf performance data to provide insights, analytics, and personalized feedback, including:

• Putting results (made/missed, distance, slope, break)
• Swing analysis (video, stroke, ball, and body mechanics)
• Consistency scores
• Strokes gained and player quality scoring
• Goals & drills
• Green condition inputs (stimp, slope, surface)
• GPS/course data (for round planning, shot tracking, and saved scorecards)
• Journals and notes
• Club bag setup and related data

Video Content

Users may upload swing or putting videos. By default, videos are private and viewable only to the account owner. Users may also:

• Share videos with specific individuals (e.g., coaches or friends)
• Make videos public, in which case they may be visible to all Go Birdie Go users

Once a video is made public, we cannot control how others use, copy, or share it. Users are solely responsible for the content they choose to share.

Automatically Collected Information

We collect certain information automatically when you use the Services, such as:

• Device information (model, operating system, unique identifiers)
• Device or other IDs, including the Advertising ID (AD_ID), when permitted
• Usage information (features used, session activity)
• App interaction data via Firebase Analytics
• Advertising-related identifiers for displaying ads and preventing fraud
• Location information when GPS features are enabled

TrueDepth / Eye Alignment Data

Certain features of Go Birdie Go may use Apple’s TrueDepth API to analyze facial positioning for eye alignment feedback. This data is processed in real time on your device and is not stored, shared, or transmitted to our servers.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and improve the Services
• Deliver personalized feedback and analytics

3. Data Sharing

Aggregated & Anonymized Data

We may use aggregated and anonymized performance data for:

• Creating benchmarks and leaderboards

This data is used for:

We ask for necessary permissions before enabling these technologies when required by platform rules (e.g., Apple’s AppTrackingTransparency). Users can restrict ad tracking via their device settings.

Any advertising-related data collected is limited to device-level identifiers and is never sold.

No Sale of Personal Information

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

4. Data Storage & Security

• All data is stored using Firebase and protected with encryption in transit and at rest.
• Users may delete their accounts at any time, which will delete or anonymize associated data.

Depending on your location, you may have rights under privacy laws (such as GDPR or CCPA), including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data.

6. Children’s Privacy

Go Birdie Go is intended for users age 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware of such data, we will delete it promptly.
