Birdieable Privacy Policy
Birdieable helps golfers create and join challenges, record rounds and compare progress. This policy describes the information used to provide the app and how to contact us about it.
Who runs Birdieable
Brandon Cain operates Birdieable. Steven Gauerke publishes the iOS and Android apps through the Apple App Store and Google Play. For privacy or support questions, email [email protected].
Information we handle
When you register, Birdieable processes your email address and sign-in credentials. Your profile may include your name, avatar, gender, handicap, preferred tee and notification preferences. We store challenges you create or join, invitation information, selected tee sets, rounds, hole scores, matched holes, progress and results. If you send a course correction or support request, we use the information you provide to respond.
Device and technical information
If you enable notifications, the app and its notification providers may process a push token and app installation identifier to deliver messages. Birdieable and its service providers may process app and device details and error information to operate, secure and troubleshoot the service.
How we use information
We use information to manage accounts, save rounds and challenge history, calculate hole matches, progress, leaderboards and winners, support invitations, deliver notifications you enable, respond to corrections and support requests, and maintain the app.
What other players may see
Players in a challenge may see your name or player name, avatar, challenge participation, progress, leaderboard position and challenge result. Round and hole information is stored to calculate these results and may be shown in Birdieable game views.
Service providers
Birdieable's current API and database run on a managed hosting server. Mobile app services include Expo; notification delivery may involve the Expo push service, Google Firebase Cloud Messaging and Apple Push Notification service. Older development data was held in Bubble and may require separate cleanup after migration. Providers that help operate or diagnose the app may process information for those purposes. We do not use this information to show advertising in Birdieable.
Retention and account deletion
We keep account and challenge information while needed to provide Birdieable. You can delete your account in the app after confirming your password, or request deletion without signing in through the public page below. We verify ownership before carrying out an email request. A completed shared challenge may keep an outcome labeled “Former player” without a link to your account so that other players' challenge history remains understandable. Older data imported from Bubble may need separate cleanup. Limited records may remain temporarily in backups or where required for legal or security reasons; contact us for details about a specific request.
Security
We use access controls and security measures intended to protect player information. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Contact us if you believe your account has been misused.
Age audience
Birdieable is intended for people aged 13 and older. It is not intended for children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as Birdieable changes. The current version and its update date will appear on this page.
