Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 8, 2026

Chirps ("we", "us") is a golf scoring and social app made by Jordan Yanke. This policy explains what information Chirps collects, why, and what control you have over it.

What we collect

Account information. When you sign up we collect your email address, display name, @handle, birthday, and (optionally) gender. Signing in with Apple or Google shares your email and name from that provider.

Location. With your permission, Chirps uses your precise location while you're using the app to find nearby courses, show GPS distances during a round, and let you submit tee/pin position fixes. Chirps does not track your location in the background.

Photos. If you choose to add them, we store profile photos, course photos, and scorecard photos you take or upload.

Health data. With your permission, Chirps saves your rounds to Apple Health as workouts (activity, calories, heart rate). Health data is written to Apple Health on your device; we don't store it on our servers or use it for any other purpose.

Content you create. Scores, rounds, chirps (messages), reviews, tournaments, and course corrections you submit are stored so the app can work and, where you choose (e.g. leaderboards, friend activity), be visible to other players.

Diagnostics. We use Sentry to collect crash reports and error diagnostics, including anonymized session replays in which all text and images are masked. This helps us find and fix bugs.

What we don't do

• We don't sell your data.
• We don't show ads or use advertising trackers.
• We don't collect your location in the background.
• We don't share your data with third parties except the service providers below.

Service providers

Your data is stored and processed by Supabase (database, authentication, file storage) and Sentry (crash reporting). Emails (verification codes, invites) are sent via Resend.

Sharing with other players

Your display name, @handle, profile photo, and golf activity (scores, birdie collection, honours) are visible to other Chirps players consistent with the app's social features, such as friends, tournament participants, and leaderboards. Course fixes and course photos you contribute are shared with all players.

Your controls

• Edit or delete your profile any time in Profile → Edit Profile.
• Delete your account in Profile → menu → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account and personal data from our servers.
• Revoke permissions (location, camera, photos, health) any time in iOS Settings.
• Report or block any player or content from their profile or the content itself.

Data retention

We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account, your personal data is deleted; aggregate course improvements (e.g. corrected tee positions) remain, without any link to you.

Children

Chirps is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

If we make material changes to this policy we'll update this page and note the new effective date.
