Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 10, 2026
Caddy (“Caddy,” “we,” “us”) is a social golf app operated by Jeremy Quinones. This policy explains what data Caddy collects, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It applies to the Caddy iOS app.
We do not sell your personal data, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
Information we collect
Account & identity
When you create an account we use Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In (handled by our authentication provider, Clerk). Through that we receive:
- Your email address.
- Your display name and handle/username.
- An account identifier (a Clerk user ID and a Caddy user ID) used to link your data to you.
You may also add optional profile details such as a bio and profile photo.
Golf activity you create
Caddy stores the content you create in the app so it can power scoring, leagues, and history:
- Scores, rounds, and statistics you record.
- Leagues, events, and membership you create or join, including scores you track for guests and other members you play with.
- Any other profile or league content you enter (for example, bios or notes).
Some of this content is visible to other members you play with or share a league with (for example, your display name and the scores in a shared round).
Location (only when you look up nearby courses)
When you search for a golf course near you, Caddy makes a one-time request for your device’s precise location and passes it to Apple MapKit to find nearby courses. This location is used at the moment of the search and is not stored by Caddy. You can decline the location permission and search for courses manually instead.
Weather
When a round starts, Caddy fetches current conditions from Apple WeatherKit using the golf course’s coordinates — not your device location — and stores that snapshot with the round.
Diagnostics (crash & error reporting)
We use Sentry to capture crashes and errors so we can fix bugs. These reports may include your account identifier and technical details about the error and device. They are used only to diagnose and improve reliability.
How we use your information
- To provide the app’s core features: sign-in, scoring, leagues, history, course search, and weather.
- To keep your data associated with your account across your devices and sessions.
- To diagnose crashes and fix problems.
- To keep the service secure and prevent abuse.
All of the data above is collected for app functionality. We do not use it for tracking or advertising.
Who we share it with
We share data only with the service providers that make Caddy work, and only as needed to provide the service:
- Clerk — authentication and account management.
- Convex — our backend database that stores your account, golf activity, and league data.
- Apple — Sign in with Apple; MapKit (course search); WeatherKit (round weather).
- Google — Google Sign-In, if you choose it.
- Sentry — crash and error diagnostics.
These providers are bound by their own privacy commitments and are required to protect your data to at least the standard described in this policy, and may use it only to provide their service to us.
We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and the service. We do not sell your personal data or share it with advertisers.
Data retention & deletion
We keep your data for as long as your account is active.
You can delete your account at any time inside the app (Profile → Edit Profile). Deletion is irreversible: it removes your account from our authentication provider so you can no longer sign in, and de-identifies and removes your personal records from our backend. Some content you created in shared contexts (for example, a score recorded in another player’s round history) may remain in de-identified form. Backups and diagnostic logs may persist for a limited period before routine expiry.
You can also email us at hello@caddyapp.golf to request deletion or ask questions about your data.
Your choices
- Location: grant or deny the one-time location permission; deny it and search for courses manually.
- Account: delete your account in-app at any time.
- Sign-in method: choose Sign in with Apple (which can hide your email) or Google.
Children
Caddy is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under the minimum age required in your country). If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us at hello@caddyapp.golf and we will delete it.
International users
Your information may be processed and stored on servers operated by our service providers, which may be located outside your country. By using Caddy you consent to that processing.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version at this page and revise the “Effective date” above. Material changes will be communicated in-app where appropriate.
