Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Haylau Apps handles information for the Handicap Calculator & Tracker mobile application and the public website on Firebase Hosting and connected custom domains.

Who we are

Developer: Haylau Apps
Contact: haylauapps@icloud.com

What we collect

• App (solo mode): By default, the app stores your data locally on your device, such as courses, players, rounds, handicaps, and basic stats. We do not receive this solo-mode data on our own servers unless you choose to export it.
• Anonymous usage counter (solo rounds): When you complete a round in solo mode, the app may increment an anonymous aggregate counter in Firebase. This does not include your scorecard details and is not linked to your identity.
• Groups and cloud sync (optional): If you create or join a Group, a copy of shared golf data is stored in Google Firebase Firestore so members can stay in sync. This can include player names, optional email addresses, course details, round data, and technical identifiers such as an anonymous Firebase user ID and a group ID.
• Crash and diagnostics: This version does not include analytics or crash reporting inside the app.
• Contact: If you email us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message so we can respond.

Website data

The site is a static website hosted on Firebase Hosting. Standard technical logs such as IP address, browser type, timestamp, and requested URL may be processed to operate and secure the service. By default, the site does not load analytics cookies unless you accept the cookie banner.

Analytics (optional)

If you accept analytics on the site, Google Analytics 4 may be used to understand visits such as page views, approximate region, and device or browser types. We do not enable Google Ads features.

How we use information

• Provide and improve the app and site.
• Provide optional Group features and cloud sync.
• Understand aggregate app usage, such as solo rounds completed.
• Respond to support requests and inquiries.
• Maintain security and prevent abuse.

Data retention

• On device: App data stays on your device until you delete it, reset local data, or uninstall the app.
• Group and cloud data: Shared group data is stored for as long as the group exists. The group owner can delete the group from within the app, and you can also contact us to request removal.
• Support messages: Emails are kept only as long as needed to resolve your request and for reasonable record-keeping.
• Analytics: Google Analytics is configured with a retention period of 2 months.

Third-party services

• Firebase Hosting for site delivery and security.
• Firebase Firestore for optional cloud storage and anonymous aggregate counters.
• Google Analytics for optional site usage insights if you consent.
• Email when you contact us.
• App stores for Apple App Store and Google Play listings you visit.

Delete my data

You can remove local data in the app from the Backup / Restore / Reset area by using Reset local data on this device.

If you are the group owner, you can delete shared group data from the Group & Sync area using Delete group for everyone.

If you need help deleting data or want us to remove remaining cloud data, email haylauapps@icloud.com with the app name, your group name if relevant, and a brief description of what you want deleted.

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date on this page shows the latest version.
