Privacy Policy

Information we collect

• Account information — your email address and, optionally, your name, handicap, and goal handicap. Authentication and accounts are managed through our infrastructure provider, Supabase.
• Golf data you enter — rounds, scores, shot data, putting data, clubs, course selections, goals, and any notes you add.
• Payment information — if you subscribe, billing is handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details; we store only a customer reference and your plan/subscription status.
• Usage data— basic, privacy-respecting product analytics about how the app is used (e.g. which features are opened), used to improve the product. See "Analytics & cookies" below.

AI processing of your golf data

A core feature of PinFlag is AI-written analysis of your rounds. When you generate an analysis, the relevant computed golf data (your strokes-gained numbers, round summary, recent trends, and any notes you wrote on that round) is sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, to produce the report. This data is used only to generate your analysis. We do not sell your data, and we do not use your personal golf data to train third-party models.

How we use your information

• To provide the analytics, reports, and features you request.
• To compute your strokes gained, benchmarks, and AI analysis.
• To manage your account, subscription, and billing.
• To send transactional emails (e.g. a welcome message and account notices).
• To understand aggregate usage and improve the product.

Service providers

We share data only with the providers needed to run PinFlag:

• Supabase — accounts, authentication, and database hosting.
• Vercel — application hosting.
• Anthropic — AI generation of round analyses (see above).
• Stripe — subscription payments.
• Resend — transactional email delivery.

Coaching, families & shared access

PinFlag supports coaches, players, parents/guardians, and facilities. Access is scoped by relationship and by consent:

• Coaches— when a player joins a coach's roster using the coach's code, the player consents to share their golf data (strokes gained, rounds, assessments, lessons, progress reports, and any swing video) with that coach. The player can leave the roster at any time to revoke this access.
• Parents / guardians— a guardian who links to a player (using the player's code) gets read-onlyaccess to that player's progress, reports, and recruiting status. Linking is the guardian's consent to view; either side can remove the link.
• Facilities / programs— members who join a facility or college program consent to share their analytics with that organization's administrators.
• Swing video — when enabled, swing videos are stored with our hosting provider and are access-scoped in the app to the player and their coach/guardian.
• Shared reports & recruiting profiles — progress reports and recruiting profiles can be shared via an unlisted link. Anyone with the link can view that read-only page; do not share links you wish to keep private.

Children & junior golfers

Junior golfers are a core audience. We ask that minors use PinFlag with the involvement of a parent, guardian, or coach. We collect only the golf and profile data needed to provide the service, a guardian can link to a minor's account for read-only oversight, and any swing video is access-scoped to the player and their coach/guardian. We do not sell minors' data or use it to train third-party models.

Parents and guardians may request access to, or deletion of, a child's data via the contact below. We will apply the children's-privacy requirements that apply to your region (such as COPPA and GDPR-K) before processing certain requests.

Aggregate benchmarks

We may use anonymized, aggregated data to build performance benchmarks (for example, average strokes gained for a handicap band). These benchmarks never identify you and are never tied to your individual account.

Analytics & cookies

We use privacy-respecting product analytics and essential cookies needed to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising trackers. Where required, tracking analytics run only after you have been shown our consent notice.

Data retention & your rights

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. You can edit your profile and golf data in the app at any time. To export or delete your account and associated data, contact us at the address below. Downgrading or cancelling a subscription preserves your data.

Security

Data is transmitted over encrypted connections and stored with row-level access controls so that your data is scoped to your account. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
