MyCaddie Privacy Notice

Your account, your choice

What stays local and what becomes public

MyCaddie uses passwordless email or phone accounts so each golfer controls their own profile and round history. Device drafts are saved under browser keys prefixed caddieai:, then synced after sign-in. Each golfer chooses whether their journal is public or private.

Your bag

The clubs you add — type, loft, and carry distance — so the analysis persists between visits.

Your player profile

Handicap band and priority (forgiveness, pro-style, scoring, distance, or simplicity), used to weight recommendations.

Round journal & played-course notes

Draft notes save on the device first and sync to the signed-in golfer's account.

Quick Log drafts & saved rounds

Confirmed hole scores, putts, shot summaries, course names, and saved rounds follow the account's public or private journal setting.

Account and journal storage

Verified identity and journal records are stored by the account backend. Database row-level rules limit updates to the signed-in owner and expose journal rows only when that owner chooses Public.

Your last screen

Whether you were last on Quick Log, Bag, or Caddie, so the app reopens where you left off.

Clearing browser data removes local bag settings and device drafts. It does not delete rounds already synced to your account. Sign in again on any supported device to reconnect.

Only while you use it

Foreground location

The on-course screen can use your device's location to show current-position distance and GPS accuracy. MyCaddie asks the browser for permission only after you choose Use GPS. The location watch stops when you choose Stop GPS or leave that screen.

What happens to a location reading

It is used in the open page to calculate distance and confidence. Precise latitude, longitude, and accuracy readings are not saved to local storage, included in custom analytics events, or included in public journal publishing.

Privacy-focused analytics

Usage analytics

MyCaddie uses Vercel Web Analytics to understand which pages and product actions are useful. Vercel says Web Analytics stores aggregated, anonymized data, uses no analytics cookies, and does not track a visitor across different sites or days.

Page and device context

Page views can include the page path, referrer, approximate country or region, browser, operating system, and device type.

Product actions

Bag actions, such as loading a sample, adding a club, or viewing analysis.
Round actions, such as opening a round, reviewing or confirming a hole, saving a round, or copying a debrief.
Setting changes, such as handicap band, priority, mode, or a generic primary/guest profile slot.
Marketing actions, such as choosing the waitlist link or opening the Bag Builder.

Custom events may include counts or settings needed to measure the action. They do not include club names or distances, course names, shot notes, journal text, precise GPS coordinates, email addresses, or the internal profile names used by older app data. Read more in Vercel's Web Analytics privacy documentation.

What we never do

No passwords; sign-in uses a short-lived verification code sent to your email or phone.
No server-side copy of your bag, golfer settings, or precise GPS readings.
Private journals are limited to the signed-in owner; public journals are intentionally browseable.
No selling your personal data or using it for advertising.
No ad tracking, ad retargeting, or cross-site analytics profile.
No saving precise GPS readings or adding them to analytics events.
Email addresses and phone numbers are used for account verification and are not shown in public journals.

What MyCaddie stores, and what it doesn't
