Privacy, an earlier version

This policy took effect on the day this site opened and this version is dated 2026-10-16.

GoodSpeed Golf is run by Goodspeed LLC (formerly Scribely LLC), a Florida limited liability company, which is the controller of your data.

What we keep

  • Your sign-in: the email address or the Apple or Google account you sign in with. A guest gets a sign-in with no name or email at all.
  • Your profile: the name and handle you choose, any handicap you type in, and the payment app names you save under Getting paid.
  • Your rounds: the course, the players, the games, every score entered and who entered it, and the round's chat, including heckles aimed at a player by name. A host can turn on roast mode for a round, which adds the Sandbagger award to its show.
  • A referral code of your own, the code you joined with if you used one, and a referral cookie for 90 days after you open a friend's link.
  • The trips you host or play in, their standings and their reports. If you subscribe to a trip's reports by email, the address you gave and a token that unsubscribes it.
  • Reports you make about a message, a player, a trip or a crew, and the waitlist email you leave us.
  • If you sign up for an outing: the name and email you give the organizer, and the handicap, tee and partner preferences you add. The organizer and co-hosts see them; we remove them a year after the outing.
  • If you are on a league or club roster: the name, email address and member number the host or the club's staff enter for you, and the official handicap number a club records, so you can be on the sheet without an account. A league's or club's standings and seasons carry the names on them.
  • Purchase and refund records are kept after an account is deleted, because tax law requires it; they carry no name, only your account id and the payment provider's reference, so a refund can be traced.
  • A photo of your handicap card, of a round list or of a course scorecard, if you scan one: it is sent to the model provider that reads it for the numbers and the date, and is not kept.
  • The address your phone gives us for alerts, if you turn them on.

Who sees it

A round, its scores and its chat are seen by the people in that round. A crew's members see its rounds. Anyone with a round's link sees its leaderboard and the names on it, never handicaps or notes. A photo you choose to show on the public report page can be seen by anyone with its link.

An outing's public page shows its sponsors' logos and, while it is live, its board.

Location

Location is used in two places: when you tap "near me" while setting up a round, to put the nearest courses first, and while the hole view is open, to show your distance to the green. Your position stays on your device and is never sent to us, unless you turn on 'help improve course maps': then the app sends the position of the hole when you finish it, and nothing else, with nothing that names you.

Saying a round

When you set up a round by typing or saying it, the words are sent to our language model provider, Anthropic, to turn them into a setup you then check. Speaking uses your browser's own speech recognition, which may send the sound to the maker of your browser.

Course data

Course scorecards come from golfcourseapi.com and are used only inside the app. We send it the course names you search for, nothing about you.

Counting visits

Our public pages send us a count of visits and taps, by page and by day. That count carries no address, device or identifier. To stop abuse, our servers keep a request counter keyed by network address for about an hour, then delete it.

Services we use

Supabase stores the data and runs sign-in. Vercel serves the site. Fly.io runs the background worker that builds reports, sends our report, reminder and outing emails and runs the nightly jobs. Stripe takes payments for credits and passes; your card details go to Stripe, not to us, and Stripe receives your sign-in email, your account id and the billing address you enter there. Apple or Google take payments for purchases made in the apps; we receive the purchase record and never your card details. RevenueCat receives the purchase record and the account id. Sentry receives error reports so we can fix what breaks; they carry the round or account involved and the error, never your messages, cookies or what you typed. Resend sends our email, and your sign-in codes are sent by Supabase through it. Expo delivers push alerts to the apps, with the alert's text. The model provider that reads a spoken setup also writes a round's recap narrative and the words of a trip's report from their scores and standings; the quote of the day is chosen by a rule, not sent to the model. The day's chat of a trip's rounds is read by a model to suggest nicknames to the host. Sentry also receives timing data from the phone app about how fast it responds, for one in ten of its requests, with no personal details attached. UptimeRobot and Healthchecks.io watch whether the site and the worker are up; they receive nothing about you.

Weather

Forecasts come from WeatherAPI.com. We send it only the course's location and the date, never anything about you. WeatherAPI.com asks every app that shows its forecasts to pass on its own notice, in its words:

Weather information displayed here is provided for general informational purposes only. Forecasts and conditions are probabilistic and may not be accurate for your specific location or time. This data should not be used as the sole basis for decisions involving personal safety, aviation, marine navigation, emergency planning, or other safety-critical activities. Always consult official meteorological services and relevant authorities for decisions where accuracy is critical.

How long we keep things

Scores stay in the rounds you played, under the name you used there, for as long as the round exists; after an account is deleted, its name on its chat messages shows as "Deleted player". A deletion request waits 14 days, during which you can withdraw it; then your profile, handicap, photos, notes, crews and settings are cleared, and the sign-in address on the account is replaced by a placeholder so it can no longer be used to sign in. A handicap import's preview is deleted after 24 hours. Outing sign-ups are cleared a year after the outing. A sign-in code lasts an hour; a co-host or staff invitation seven days. The request counter above lasts about an hour. Push alerts that could not be delivered are dropped within a day; delivered alerts are kept. Referral codes, reports you make and the waitlist email stay until the account they belong to is deleted or, for the waitlist, until you ask to be removed. Purchase and refund records are kept for as long as the tax law requires.

Cookies

We set a sign-in cookie that keeps you signed in for up to 400 days unless you sign out, a beta invitation cookie for 90 days when you open an invite link or type an invite code, a referral cookie for 90 days when you open a friend's link, and a 15-minute cookie that keeps a guest's seat through an Apple or Google sign-in. There is no advertising or analytics cookie and no third party sets a cookie on our pages. Because we track nobody across other sites, we do not change what we collect in response to a Do Not Track signal.

What we never do

  • We never sell your data, and we never serve targeted advertising to anyone.
  • We never use your messages, photos or name in marketing without asking you; where marketing shows a real round, every name and the course are changed so no one can be identified.
  • We keep only the payment app names you save under Getting paid, shown only to a player who owes you, and never card or bank details.

Age

GoodSpeed Golf is for people 13 or older.

Your choices

You can change your profile at any time, sign out of every device, and ask for your account to be deleted in Settings. Scores you entered in a round stay on the scorecards of the people you played with. Hole notes are private to you. A hole photo is private to you until you share it with your round's trip, or with the trip and the public report page; you can turn either off at any time, and the photo leaves those places at the next render. Both are removed when your account is deleted. You can download a copy of your data from Settings, including your messages, sign-ups, memberships and purchases, and any nickname you turned off on a trip. If you ask us about your data, we answer within 45 days; if we refuse a request, you can appeal through the contact page or by writing to support@goodspeed.app.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we email every account before the change takes effect and keep the previous version linked here.
