Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Caddy Golf, Inc. (“Caddy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Caddy mobile application (the “App”) and related services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

• Account information (name, email address, password)
• Profile information (handicap, home course, preferences)
• Payment and subscription information (processed by Apple/third-party payment processors)
• Support requests and communications

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Camera Data: The App accesses your device camera to detect golf flags and calculate distances. Camera frames are processed on-device and on our servers for AI detection. We do not store raw camera footage.
• Location Data: We collect precise GPS location to determine your position on the golf course and calculate distances. Location data is used only during active rounds.
• Device Information: Device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and app version.
• Usage Data: Features used, rounds played, scores, shot data, and in-app interactions.
• Performance Data: Crash logs, diagnostics, and performance metrics.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Provide and maintain the App’s core functionality (distance measurement, shot tracking, scoring)
• Process and analyze camera images for AI-powered flag detection
• Improve our AI models and detection accuracy
• Personalize your experience and provide game insights
• Process subscriptions and payments
• Send service-related notifications
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues
• Comply with legal obligations

4. Camera and Photo Access

Caddy requires camera access to function as a rangefinder. When you point your camera at a golf flag, the image is analyzed using AI to detect the flag position and calculate distance. Images sent to our servers for processing are not permanently stored and are deleted after analysis is complete. We do not access your photo library unless you explicitly choose to save or share a shot.

5. Location Data

We collect precise location data only when the App is in active use during a round. This data is essential for distance calculations and course mapping. You can disable location access through your device settings, but this will limit the App’s core functionality.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data with:

• Service Providers: Cloud hosting, analytics, and payment processing partners who assist in operating the App.
• Other Users: If you use social features (sharing shots, leaderboards), the content you share will be visible to other users.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, regulation, or legal process.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Round data and statistics are retained to provide historical insights. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal data
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Data portability
• Withdraw consent at any time
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@caddy.golf.

10. Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy in the App and updating the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
