5. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on secure cloud infrastructure. We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Third-Party Links

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., golf courses). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by sending an in-app notification.
