What MyCaddie stores, and what it doesn't

Plain language, no legalese. MyCaddie is two separate things: an iPhone app and this website. They hold very different amounts about you, so this page covers them one at a time. The iPhone app comes first, because it sends us nothing.

MyCaddie for iPhone

The app on your phone sends nothing

The iPhone app is local-first golf memory and on-course assistance. It can keep confirmed rounds, a next-round focus, bag revisions, grounded decision history, learning-loop evidence, consent history, and Tournament Mode settings on your phone. It can also read location while the rangefinder is open. This build has no active cloud transport, analytics, advertising, or model connection, so none of that leaves your phone.

Location, only while the app is open

Your position is used on the phone itself to measure the distance to the front, middle, and back of the green. It is never sent anywhere, never written to the device, and gone the moment you close the app. iPhone asks your permission first, and if you decline, the app still shows each hole measured from the mapped tee.

Your golf memory is saved on the phone

Pocket Round keeps confirmed holes, corrections, notes, debrief evidence, and saved focus. Bag Memory keeps revisioned golfer-confirmed carries. Decision Memory keeps the original grounded check plus later disposition, outcome, and correction. Learning events and Tournament Mode settings are stored locally too. We never receive them.

Optional uses are separate and off by default

Retained personalization, precise-location memory, model processing, and training are separate choices recorded in an append-only consent history. Live rangefinding does not require precise-location retention. This build does not send golf data to a model or training system even if you record a future-facing preference.

Export or erase without an account

The app can export rounds, focus, bag, decisions, learning events, consent, and Tournament Mode as one readable JSON file through the iPhone share sheet. MyCaddie removes its temporary export after sharing and tells you if cleanup fails. Erase this phone clears every local golf-memory store and temporary export; if any store cannot be verified as cleared, the app says which one remains instead of claiming success.

Saving rounds to an account is switched off

The app has a sign-in screen, and it is switched off in the version on the App Store. That version carries no server address, so there is nowhere for it to send anything and no account it could create. The screen tells you so instead of failing when you tap it. That is why every App Store privacy answer for this app is "not collected".

If we ever turn it on, we will say so here first and update the store disclosures. Sync permission, model processing, training, sharing, and precise-location retention remain independent choices; enabling one must not silently enable another.

Deleting your account

The App Store version can't create an account today, so there is nothing to delete on our side. If sign-in ever turns on, an in-app "Delete account" control will be available under Account, and it will remove the account and every synced round from our servers and from that phone in one step, with no waiting period.

The website · your account, your choice

What the website stores, and what becomes public

Everything from here down describes my-caddie.com in a browser, not the iPhone app. The website 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.

Founding-group intake

If you submit the "Join the founding group" form, we store the name, email, and optional "what do you play" text you enter, plus UTM source tags from the link you arrived on. This is sent to a private intake endpoint — never published, never sold, and used only to reach out about the founding group.

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 on the website

The website's on-course screen can use your device's location to show current-position distance and GPS accuracy. The website 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 on the website

The website uses Vercel Web Analytics to understand which pages and product actions are useful. The iPhone app has no analytics of any kind. 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.
