JEdwards Software ("we", "us", or "our") operates the GPS Golf application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use the App and our website.
Information We Collect
- Location data: Precise GPS location while you use the App features that require it (e.g., measuring distances on the course). Location access is optional and can be controlled in your device settings.
- Device information: Basic device and app information (device model, OS version, app version) for performance and debugging.
- Usage data: Interactions within the App to improve functionality and user experience.
- Account data (if you sign in): Name, email, and profile identifiers necessary to provide sync or personalization features.
- Course data: Facility and hole information you view or manage within the App.
How We Use Information
- Provide core App features, including GPS-based distance and mapping.
- Operate, maintain, and improve the App and website.
- Personalize features and remember preferences.
- Communicate service updates and respond to support requests.
- Ensure security, prevent fraud or misuse, and comply with legal obligations.
Location Services
GPS Golf uses your device’s location to deliver distance and course features. Location access is requested only when required and you can enable or revoke it at any time in iOS Settings. The App does not track your location in the background when the App is not in active use for distance features.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
- Service providers: We may share information with trusted vendors who provide hosting, analytics, or support services under contractual confidentiality obligations.
- Legal: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, information may be transferred as permitted by law.
- We do not sell your personal information.
Data Retention
We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. You may request deletion of your account data as described below.
Your Choices and Rights
- Update, correct, or delete your account information (if applicable) by contacting us.
- Control location sharing through your device settings.
- Opt out of non-essential communications by using unsubscribe options in messages.
Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us to request deletion.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
International Users
Your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.
