Golfing With Mulligans

Last updated: March 11, 2026

Overview

Golfing With Mulligans ("the App") is a golf scoring and social tracking app for iPhone. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data the App accesses, how it is used, and what is shared.

Data Stored on Your Device

The App stores the following data locally on your iPhone using Apple's SwiftData framework:

• Player profiles (name, handicap, body weight)
• Golf round history (scores, drinks, penalties, round times)
• Saved golf courses (name, location, par, yardage)

This data is stored only on your device. It is not transmitted to any server, cloud service, or third party. If you delete the App, this data is permanently removed.

Location Data

The App requests access to your location ("While Using the App" only) for two purposes:

1. Finding nearby golf courses — Your location is used with Apple's MapKit to identify golf courses near you.
2. Fetching local weather — Your location coordinates are sent to the Open-Meteo API (open-meteo.com) to retrieve current weather conditions and a short-term forecast.

Your location is used only in the moment and is not stored permanently, tracked over time, or sent to any other service.

Third-Party Services

The App communicates with two external services:

Open-Meteo (Weather)

• Data sent: GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude)
• Purpose: Retrieve current temperature, weather conditions, and hourly forecast
• Privacy: Open-Meteo is a free, open-source weather API. No personal information is sent. See their privacy policy at open-meteo.com/en/terms

GolfCourseAPI.com (Course Data)

• Data sent: Golf course name (text only)
• Purpose: Retrieve par and yardage data for the golf course scorecard
• Privacy: Only the course name is sent. No personal information, location data, or user identifiers are transmitted.

Data We Do NOT Collect

• No personal information (email, phone number, etc.)
• No user accounts or login credentials
• No analytics or usage tracking
• No advertising identifiers
• No cookies or web tracking
• No health data (body weight is stored locally only and never transmitted)
• No crash reporting or diagnostic data

Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any user data with any third party for any reason.

Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 17. Due to alcohol-related content (drink tracking), the App is rated 17+ on the App Store.

Data Retention

All data is stored locally on your device. You can delete any or all data within the App at any time. Uninstalling the App removes all stored data permanently.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this privacy policy, the changes will be reflected here with an updated date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
