Privacy Policy
Introduction
Fairwayd ("we," "us," or "our") is a social app for logging and sharing golf course reviews. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
By creating an account or using the app, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
Information We Collect
Account information: email address, password (stored securely by our auth provider), display name, profile handle, optional profile photo, and optional bio.
User content: course reviews, ratings, scores, notes, photos attached to reviews, comments, likes, follow relationships, and Want to Play lists.
Location: if you grant permission, we use your device location to rank nearby courses in search. We do not continuously track your location in the background.
Device and usage data: app interactions, crash diagnostics, and analytics events (e.g. screens viewed, features used) via PostHog. We configure analytics to avoid collecting unnecessary personal data.
Push notification tokens: if you enable notifications, we store a device token to deliver alerts about follows, likes, comments, and mentions.
How We Use Information
Provide the service: show your profile, reviews, and feed; enable search, social features, and course discovery.
Safety and integrity: enforce our Terms, process reports, apply blocks, and prevent abuse.
Communications: send transactional emails (e.g. sign-up confirmation, password reset) and push notifications you opt into.
Improve the app: understand usage patterns and fix bugs.
Legal compliance: respond to lawful requests and protect our rights.
How We Share Information
Public content: reviews and public profile information are visible to other users according to your privacy settings. Private profiles limit visibility to approved followers.
Service providers: we use Supabase (hosting and database), PostHog (analytics), Expo/Apple push services, and email delivery providers to operate the app. They process data on our behalf under contractual obligations.
Legal requirements: we may disclose information if required by law or to protect users and the service.
We do not sell your personal information.
Your Choices and Rights
Account settings: update your profile, set your account to private, manage blocked users, and delete your account from Account settings.
Account deletion permanently removes your account and associated data, subject to limited retention for legal or security purposes.
Location: revoke location access in iOS Settings at any time.
Notifications: disable push notifications in iOS Settings or in-app.
You may contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data where applicable law provides those rights.
User-Generated Content and Safety
You can report reviews, comments, and profiles that violate our Terms. You can block other users so their content no longer appears in your experience.
Reported content may be reviewed by our team and removed or restricted if it violates our policies.
Data Retention
We retain account and content data while your account is active. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize associated data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law or for dispute resolution.
Security
We use industry-standard measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), authenticated access controls, and row-level security in our database. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Fairwayd is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information.
