Privacy policy

Score Golf (“the app”, “we”) is a golf scorecard app published by JB App. This policy explains what data is processed when you use the app, why, where it is stored, and what your rights are.

Publisher: JB App (see the legal notice, in French) — Contact: scoregolf@jb-app.fr

The app only processes the data it needs to work:

• Account: sign-in is exclusively through “Sign in with Apple”. We receive your account identifier and, depending on your choice in Apple's sheet, your email address (real or hidden by Apple). No password is created or stored.
• First name: the first name you enter the first time you open the app, to personalize the home screen.
• Courses you add: golf club name, city, the course's GPS position, holes, tees, rating and slope. This information is shared with other players (see article 05).
• Your game data: players, rounds, scores, putts, clubs, shot distances. These are stored on your iPhone, and in your personal iCloud Drive if you use the backup (see article 07).

We collect nothing without your knowledge. No advertising tracker, no advertising identifier and no behavioral analytics are used in the app.

Precise location: used while the app is open, including in the background or with the screen locked while a round is in progress (an indicator is then shown on the iPhone), to suggest the nearest course on the home screen and to measure distances (shots and distance walked). Your position is not sent to our servers: matching with courses is done on your iPhone, and measured distances stay in your local game data. The only exception: if, when creating a course, you choose “Use my current location” to fill in its coordinates, those coordinates are saved with the course and shared like the rest of the course (see article 05).

Motion & fitness: the iPhone pedometer is used to confirm that you are actually walking, to avoid distorted distances. This data is read on your iPhone and is not transmitted.

You can refuse or withdraw these permissions in Settings; the app remains usable for scoring, but distance measurement will not work.

Data is used only to make the app work for you: identify you, display and share courses, calculate your scores and statistics, generate your exports. No data is used for advertising, resale or profiling.

Courses are a common database fed by users: what you add is visible to all users of the app. Do not enter any personal information there.

So that only the author (or the administrator) can edit a course, the technical identifier of the author's account is attached to it. If you delete your account, your courses are not deleted: they remain available to the community and this link is erased; they are then no longer attached to you.

A course contains an error or information about you? Write to us: we will correct or remove it.

Reporting a course: a report button on each course lets you flag inappropriate, incorrect or duplicate content. The report (the course concerned, the reason, an optional comment and your account identifier) is saved in our database and the administrator is notified by e-mail. It is read only by the administrator, for moderation and to detect abuse of the reporting feature, and is kept without a time limit. Insulting, hateful or abusive remarks, in the comment or through repeated unfounded reports, may lead to the deletion of the account.

Unlocking the app is a one-time purchase processed by Apple. We receive neither your payment method nor your billing information. The app only remembers, on your iPhone, that the unlock is active and how many free rounds have been used.

Accounts and shared courses are hosted on Supabase infrastructure, our database and authentication provider. Exchanges are encrypted (HTTPS/TLS), and database-level security rules (Row Level Security) control who can read or modify each piece of data.

Administrator access: JB App, as technical administrator of the project, has access to the hosted data, needed for maintenance, support and course moderation. This access is not used for any other purpose.

iCloud backup: when iCloud Drive is enabled on your iPhone, the app automatically saves a copy of your game data to your personal iCloud Drive at launch, at most once every 24 hours (you can also trigger it manually). This copy belongs to you, it is stored by Apple and we have no access to it.

We never sell, rent or share your data for commercial or advertising purposes. Your account data and courses are only passed to our technical provider (Supabase), a processor necessary to run the service, and sign-in goes through Apple.

Account data is kept as long as your account exists. At any time you can:

• delete your account directly in the app: Profile → Account → Delete my account. Your online account and profile are then deleted immediately and irreversibly;
• export or restore your game data from Profile → Backup;
• delete your local game data by uninstalling the app (except iCloud backup copies, which you can delete in Profile → Backup or in iCloud Drive).

You can also withdraw the sign-in authorization given to the app in Settings → your name → Sign in with Apple.

In accordance with applicable data protection law, you have the right to access, rectify, port and delete your data. Deletion and export are available directly in the app; for any other request, write to scoregolf@jb-app.fr.

We apply reasonable technical measures: encrypted connections, authentication delegated to Apple, data separated per user.

The app is not specifically intended for children and does not knowingly collect data about minors without the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

This policy may be updated as the app evolves. The date of the last update is shown at the top of this document.
