Privacy policy
Last updated 15 November 2026. This policy covers the FairwayFinda player app on your phone and on the web.
What we keep about you
- Your email address. You sign in with it. It is kept with your account, and used only to run the app: signing you in and keeping your account secure.
- Your account and golfer IDs. Two random identifiers that tell your account and your golf records apart from everyone else’s. They are used only to run the app.
- What you add to the app. Your player profile (name, home town, home course, handicap estimate, hand and units), your privacy choices, your bag and its carry distances, the details you fill in for a hole (shots, clubs, putts and penalties), and your Golf Link connection, which ties your account to the golf records you proved are yours. It is kept against your account and used only to run the app.
What stays on your phone
Your location is used on your phone only, to sort courses near you and to show distances from where you stand. It is never sent to us. The round you are playing, and anything waiting to be saved, are held on your phone until you finish and save them. Courses, scorecards and your history that the app has downloaded are kept on your phone so they open without a connection.
Who sees it
Everything you give the app is shared with FairwayFinda, because it is how the app works for you. Your privacy choices in Account, under Privacy, change what other golfers are shown in the app: who sees your score, who can contact you, and whether your shots, without your name, help map courses. We do not sell your data.
We use hosting and database services to run the app. They act for us, hold your data on our behalf and do not use it for their own purposes.
Tracking and advertising
The app does not track you. It has no advertising, no advertising identifiers and no analytics that follow you across other apps or sites. Nothing about you is sold or traded.
Delete your account
You can delete your account at any time in the app: open Account, then Privacy, then Delete account. It needs a connection. It removes your sign-in, your settings and your bag, your Golf Link connection, your friends and messages, and everything the app saved on that phone for the account. It cannot be undone.
Some things are not part of your account and stay. Official golf records published elsewhere stay with the golf records they came from, no longer connected to you in the app. If you ever unsubscribed from our messages, that address stays on a do-not-contact list so we do not message it again.
Questions and requests
Write to [email protected] to ask what we hold about you, to correct it, or to raise a concern.
