Chirps Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 8, 2026

Chirps ("Chirps," "we," "our," or "us") is a golf scoring and social application. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we disclose it, and the choices available to you.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be linked to an identifiable individual, including your name, email address, username, date of birth, photos, location information, and golf activity.

What We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address, display name, username (@handle), date of birth, and, if you choose to provide it, gender.

If you sign in using Apple or Google, we receive the information you authorize those providers to share with us, such as your name and email address.

Location Information

With your permission, Chirps accesses your precise location while you are actively using the app to:

• locate nearby golf courses;
• display GPS distances during a round; and
• allow you to submit tee or pin position corrections.

Chirps does not collect your location while the app is closed or running in the background.

Photos and Media

If you choose to upload them, we store profile photos, course photos, and scorecard photos.

Apple Health Data

With your permission, Chirps can save completed golf rounds to Apple Health as workout activities.

Health information is written directly to Apple Health on your device. Chirps does not store Apple Health data on its servers or use it for advertising or marketing purposes.

User Content

We collect and store content you voluntarily create, including:

• golf scores;
• rounds;
• Chirps (messages);
• reviews;
• tournaments;
• course corrections; and
• other content you choose to submit.

Some content may be visible to other users depending on the social features you use.

Diagnostic Information

We use Sentry to collect crash reports, performance information, and diagnostic data to help identify and resolve software issues.

Where supported by Sentry, session replay features are configured to mask text and images.

How We Use Your Information

We use your Personal Information to:

• provide and operate the Services;
• authenticate your account;
• enable scoring, tournaments, and social features;
• improve course information;
• respond to support requests;
• maintain security and prevent fraud or abuse;
• diagnose technical issues;
• improve the performance and reliability of Chirps;
• comply with legal obligations; and
• enforce our Terms of Service.

What We Don't Do

• We do not sell your Personal Information.
• We do not currently display advertising or use advertising trackers. If this changes, we will update this Privacy Policy before those changes take effect.
• We do not collect your location in the background.
• We do not disclose your Personal Information except as described in this Privacy Policy.

Legal Basis for Processing (EEA, UK, and Similar Jurisdictions)

Where applicable law requires it, we process Personal Information based on one or more of the following legal grounds:

• performance of our contract with you;
• your consent;
• compliance with legal obligations; and
• our legitimate interests, including maintaining, securing, and improving the Services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.

Service Providers

We use trusted third-party providers to help operate Chirps, including:

• Supabase (authentication, database, and file storage);
• Sentry (crash reporting and diagnostics); and
• Resend (transactional email delivery).

These providers process information on our behalf and are contractually required to protect it in accordance with applicable laws.

Sharing with Other Players

Because Chirps includes social features, certain information is visible to other users, including your:

• display name;
• username;
• profile photo;
• golf scores;
• birdie collection;
• honours;
• tournament participation; and
• other activity you choose to share through the Services.

Course corrections and course photos you contribute may also be shared with other users to improve the quality and accuracy of the Services.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• access your Personal Information;
• correct inaccurate information;
• request deletion of your Personal Information;
• request a copy of your Personal Information;
• object to or restrict certain processing; and
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

You may exercise many of these rights directly within the app or by contacting us using the information below.

We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights where prohibited by law.

Canada

We handle Personal Information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other applicable Canadian privacy laws.

United States

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under applicable state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and similar state privacy laws.

Chirps does not sell or share Personal Information as those terms are defined under applicable privacy laws.

Other Jurisdictions

Where laws such as the GDPR or UK GDPR apply, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

Your Controls

You can:

• edit your profile at any time;
• delete your account within the app;
• revoke permissions for location, camera, photos, or Apple Health through your device settings; and
• report or block users or content.

Deleting your account removes your Personal Information from our active systems. Certain information may remain in secure backups for a limited period as described below.

International Data Transfers

Your Personal Information may be processed or stored in countries other than your own, including the United States, where our service providers operate.

Where required by law, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers.

Data Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect Personal Information.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain Personal Information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your Personal Information from our active systems. Information may remain in encrypted backups for a limited period before being automatically deleted through our normal backup rotation.

Anonymous or aggregated information that does not identify you may be retained indefinitely.

Children's Privacy

Chirps is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or any higher minimum age required by applicable law), and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children.

If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

When we make material changes, we will revise the Effective Date above and provide additional notice where required by applicable law.
