Privacy, an earlier version

Version served from 22:03 UTC on 2026-10-30 to 14:08 UTC on 2026-10-31

This policy took effect on the day this site opened and this version is dated 2026-10-30.

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, and any handicap you type in.
  • If you turn on Shoot Your Age, you enter your birth year. We use it only for that achievement and show it only to you, including in your data download. If you choose to show the achievement, others see that you earned it, which tells them roughly how old you are, but never your birth year. We delete the year when you turn the achievement off or delete your account.
  • 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 trip's reports roast a player only when every signed-in player on that trip has allowed it with Roast mode in Settings, under Privacy; it is off until you switch it on.
  • 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.
  • If you post on a course's wall, we keep your post with the course and the day you posted it.
  • If you post in a crew's Clubhouse, we keep your posts, comments, poll choices and hearts with the crew. Only players 18 or older can post photos there, and we remove location details from a photo before we store 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.
  • When a host invites you to a round by email address or phone number, we keep it on your seat only to send that invite and hold your seat. We delete it when the round closes, or 24 hours after the round's start time if it never closes.
  • 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.
  • When you subscribe to Pro, switch between Pro monthly and Pro yearly, or resume Pro after cancelling, a record of what you agreed to: the words of the renewal terms, the price, the plan and the time. It carries your account id, not your name, and is kept for three years, or for one year after the subscription ends if that is later, because the states' renewal laws require it, including after an account is deleted.
  • 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 sign in on the app and allow alerts.

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. A course wall post is seen by golfers who have finished a round at that course, with your first name and last initial. 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. A crew's Clubhouse is seen only by that crew's members, and posts by a member who is suspended or banned are hidden.

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

Show me on course pages. It's off unless you turn it on, and it's for players 18 or older. When it's on, and the round's host allows it, your first name, last initial and score for that round can appear on that course's page, which anyone can see and search engines can show. Search engines may keep an old copy for a while after you turn it off.

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 on your phone or the distance page on your Apple Watch is open, to show your distance to the green. Your position stays on your device, with two exceptions. If you turn on 'help improve course maps', the app sends the position of the hole when you finish it, with nothing that names you. When the app shows a plays-like distance, it sends your position and your target to us to look up their heights, from the US Geological Survey in and near the US or from Google elsewhere; we send them with nothing that names you and keep neither.

If you use GoodSpeed Golf on a paired watch, your phone sends it what the watch shows for your round: the course, the players' names, places and scores, and the hole you're on. An Apple Watch gets it through Apple's own watch link, and a Wear OS watch gets it straight from your phone, only while the two are near each other; it doesn't go through our servers. It is removed from the watch when you sign out, or the next time the watch reaches your phone. Scores you enter on the watch stay on it only until your phone has them. A Wear OS watch uses its own location only to show distances while that page is open, and keeps it on the watch.

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. Hole maps are drawn from OpenStreetMap data (© OpenStreetMap contributors), which we keep and serve ourselves: your device contacts OpenStreetMap only if you tap the map credit, and nothing you record in the app is sent to it. Hole maps show Google's satellite map. While the hole view is open, your device asks Google for the map around the hole, under Google's privacy policy. Google receives your device's network address and which part of the map to show, not your name or account.

Counting visits

Our public pages send us a count of visits and taps, by page and by day. They also send a daily count of where visits came from: the site that linked to us, if it is a search engine, social site or golf site on our list (any other site counts as "other"), and a link's source and medium tags, if they are on our list. Those counts carry no address, device or identifier. To stop abuse, our servers keep a request counter keyed by network address or by account for about an hour, then delete it. The counter that allows one course map position per hole each day is kept for two days.

Services we use

  • Supabase stores the data and runs sign-in, and sends your sign-in codes through Resend.
  • Vercel serves the site.
  • Fly.io runs the background worker that builds reports, sends our report, reminder, outing and change-notice emails and runs the nightly jobs.
  • Stripe takes payments for credits, Pro and the Yearly pass; 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. It 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.
  • Resend sends our email.
  • Expo delivers push alerts to the apps through Apple's and Google's push services. They receive the alert's text and a push address for your phone, made when you sign in on the app and allow alerts; on Android, Google also keeps an id for the app on your phone.
  • 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, and reads the day's chat of a trip's rounds to suggest nicknames to the host; the quote of the day is chosen by a rule, not sent to the model.
  • Google provides the hole maps, and the heights for plays-like where the US Geological Survey has none.
  • The US Geological Survey provides heights for plays-like in and near the US.
  • 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. Course wall posts leave the wall after 30 days and are deleted a year after you post them. When you delete a post, or your account, its words are deleted within a day. If a post is reported, we keep its words until we've reviewed the report. Clubhouse posts are kept while the crew exists. When you delete one, it leaves the Clubhouse at once and its photo is deleted; we keep a copy of its words for a short time so you can undo it, and delete that copy within a day. If a Clubhouse post is reported, we keep its words until we've reviewed the report, then delete any photo it had. When you delete your account, your hearts and poll choices are deleted and your Clubhouse posts stay under "Deleted player" without their photos. If you're under 18, each post reads "Message removed" instead. If you leave a crew or are removed from it, your Clubhouse posts stay there under "Former member". A sign-in code lasts an hour; a co-host or staff invitation seven days. The request counters above last about an hour, and the map-position counter two days. Push alerts that could not be delivered are dropped within a day; delivered alerts are kept. Reports you make are kept as moderation records without your words once your account is deleted. Your referral code stops working when your account is deleted; the record of any credit already given through it stays. The waitlist email stays until you ask to be removed. Purchase and refund records are kept for as long as the tax law requires. The record of what you agreed to when you subscribed to Pro is kept for three years, or for one year after the subscription ends if that is later. Audit rows and round events are kept for as long as the round they belong to exists; rounds are not deleted. A name, email address or member number a host or a club enters on a roster for someone without an account stays with that league or club, marked as removed when the host or the club removes it; you can ask us to delete yours through the contact address below.

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, two short cookies that keep a guest's seat and results while they sign in (15 minutes through an Apple or Google sign-in, and an hour while a sign-in code is on its way), a one-hour cookie that notes the app opened the page, a cookie for one year that remembers you closed the prompt to get the app, and an appearance cookie for one year that remembers whether you chose light, dark or your device's setting. 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.

Age

GoodSpeed Golf is for people 13 or older.

Your choices

  • You can change your profile at any time.
  • You can sign out of every device in Settings, under Account.
  • You can ask for your account to be deleted in Settings, under Privacy.
  • 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.
  • Hole notes and photos are removed when your account is deleted.
  • You can download a copy of your data from Settings, under Privacy, including your messages, sign-ups, memberships and purchases, and any nickname you turned off on a trip.

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.
