ForeMatch Privacy Policy

Last updated

ForeMatch collects only what it needs to run your rounds and sync them with the people you play with. It does not sell your data or use it for advertising, and it does not track you across other apps.

This policy covers the ForeMatch app for iOS, watchOS, published by Nightcap Labs LLC ("we", "us"). It explains what the app collects, why, and the choices you have.

What ForeMatch collects

  • Name and email address. Received from Sign in with Apple or Google to create your account. With Hide My Email, only Apple's relay address is received. Used for: app functionality. Linked to your account.
  • Rounds, scores and handicaps. Courses, formats, players, hole-by-hole scores, standings and settle-up details for rounds you create or join, plus a Venmo username if you choose to add one. Used for: app functionality. Linked to your account.
  • Chat messages. Messages, reactions and GIFs you send in a round's chat, stored with that round and visible to its players. Used for: app functionality. Linked to your account.
  • Device token for notifications. Stored only if you allow notifications, so the app can send round updates. Used for: app functionality. Linked to your account.
  • Diagnostics. Google Firebase may collect basic crash and device information to keep the app reliable. Used for: app functionality. Not linked to your identity.

What stays on your device

  • Your block list stays on your device.
  • Your location is used only at the moment you search for a course. It is not tracked in the background or stored.

How we use it

Only to run the app's features, keep it reliable, and answer you when you contact us. We do not sell your personal information. We do not use it for advertising, and we do not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.

Where it is stored

Account, round and chat data is stored in Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore and Cloud Functions), encrypted in transit with HTTPS.

Who it is shared with

  • Other players in your rounds. Your name, handicap, scores and any Venmo username you add are visible to the people in that round.
  • Google Firebase. Sign-in, database and notifications. Their privacy policy
  • Sign in with Apple and Google Sign-In. Account sign-in.
  • OpenGolfAPI. Course search. Receives the text you type and, if you allow it, your location. No account information is sent.
  • OpenStreetMap (Overpass API). Course map details for the course you select. Their privacy policy
  • GIPHY. The GIF picker in chat. Receives your GIF search terms and serves the GIFs. Their privacy policy
  • Venmo. Pay with Venmo only opens the Venmo app or website. ForeMatch never processes payments.

We may also disclose information when the law requires it.

Permissions the app asks for

Each one is optional and can be changed any time in Settings.

  • Location (while using). Suggest nearby courses when you search
  • Camera. Scan a round's QR code to join it.
  • Photos (add only). Save a round recap image to your library.
  • Notifications. Round updates. Optional.

How long we keep it

Your data is kept while your account is active. You can delete a round you created, which removes its scores.

Deleting your data

Delete your account any time in the app at Profile > Delete Account. This removes your profile, handicap, presets and notification settings, and deletes rounds and trips that only you belong to. Rounds you shared stay with the other players, unlinked from your account and without your email address, but your name, scores and chat messages remain on that round's scorecard.

You can also email support@nightcaplabs.app to ask for a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion. We will answer within 30 days.

Children

ForeMatch is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit and stored with established providers. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
