StripedGolf ("the app", "we") is a golf performance-tracking app available at stripedgolf.app and as a mobile app. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and the choices you have. We aim to collect the minimum needed to make the app work.
StripedGolf is operated by David Flavell (United Kingdom). For anything related to your data, contact: davidflavell@gmail.com.
| Data | What it includes | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Email address and a password (stored as a secure hash by our authentication provider — we never see your password) | To create and secure your account |
| Profile | Display name, optional profile photo, optional golf handicap | So friends can recognise you and scores can be calculated |
| Golf data | Rounds, scores, hole-by-hole data, statistics, courses played, optional round photos | The core purpose of the app — tracking your game |
| Social activity | Who you follow, likes, comments, competition entries, live-round status | To power the social features you choose to use |
| Push token | A device token for notifications | Only if you enable notifications; used to deliver them |
| Approximate location | Your device location, only at the moment you use "find nearby courses" | To show golf courses near you. It is used for that search and not stored |
We do not collect contacts, browsing history, advertising identifiers, or precise location tracking, and we do not show ads.
We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.
Your data is stored and processed by these service providers, acting under our instructions:
StripedGolf has social features. Users who follow you can see your display name, profile photo, handicap, and the rounds you log (including scores, highlights and any round photos). If you join a competition, other players in it see your entered name and live score. If you prefer a private experience, simply don't follow anyone or join competitions — your data stays visible only to you.
We keep your data while your account exists. You can delete your account from inside the app (Profile → Delete account), which permanently removes your account and all rounds, statistics, photos and social activity. This cannot be undone. You can export your rounds as a CSV file from the app at any time before deleting.
Under UK/EU data protection law you have the right to access, correct, export, and erase your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent. Most of these you can do directly in the app (edit profile, export CSV, delete account); for anything else, email us. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk) or your local supervisory authority.
StripedGolf is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Database access is protected by per-user row-level security, so users can only read the data the app's features intend them to see. Passwords are handled by our authentication provider and never stored in readable form.
If we make material changes, we'll update this page and the effective date above, and highlight the change in the app.
