Introduction

Friends League @ Jaypee ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to our website and our mobile applications (iOS and Android) available at golfleague.hyndon.com (together, the "Service"). We use it to provide scoring, league standings, and match/tournament planning for golfers. We do not collect or manage extensive personal information beyond what is needed for these purposes.

Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Service.

Login and Authentication

You sign in using your phone number (and, where required, your name). We do not store or manage passwords. Verification may be done via one-time codes (OTP) sent to your phone; delivery of those codes may be handled by third-party communications providers. We use your phone number only to identify your account and to link your activity (scores, tournament participation) to you. We do not sell or share your phone number for marketing or advertising.

Information We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to provide scoring and match planning:

1. Account and Identity

• Phone number (used for login and to identify you)
• Name or display name (as you provide it)

We do not collect or store passwords. We do not require or store sensitive personal information beyond what is needed for the Service.

2. Scoring and Match Data

• Golf scores, rounds, and course information
• Tournament and league participation, teams, and schedules

3. Location (Optional)

When you use features that need location (e.g. distances to greens, on-course position), we may use your precise location only while you are actively using those features. We do not track your location when the app or website is not in use. You can disable location access in your device or browser settings at any time.

4. Technical and Usage Data

We may automatically collect device type, browser, operating system, and general usage information (e.g. features used) to operate and improve the Service. We do not use this data to track you across other apps or websites.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect only to:

• Provide scoring, league standings, rankings, and match/tournament planning
• Identify you and link your scores and participation to your account (using phone number and name)
• Calculate and display distances and positions when you use optional location-based features
• Send you service-related updates or league notifications where relevant
• Operate, improve, and secure the Service

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or selling to third parties.

Data Storage and Security

The limited data we hold (phone number, name, scores, match/tournament data) is stored on secure servers. We use encrypted transmission (HTTPS), secure authentication, and access controls. We retain this data only while your account is active and for legitimate service purposes. You may request deletion of your account and associated data; we will remove it within a reasonable period.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only: (1) as part of the service (e.g. league members or organizers seeing your scores and participation in that league or tournament); (2) with trusted service providers who help us operate the Service (e.g. hosting, sending OTP messages) under strict confidentiality; (3) when required by law or to protect rights and safety; (4) in connection with a merger or sale of assets (with notice to users).

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete the information we hold about you, and to disable location access at any time. We do not use your data to track you across other apps or websites. To exercise these rights or ask questions about your data, contact us using the details below. We aim to respond within a reasonable time.

Children's Privacy

The Service (website and mobile app) is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us immediately.

Third-Party Services

Login: Sign-in is via your phone number. Verification codes (OTP) may be delivered by third-party communications providers. We do not store or manage your phone credentials; we only use your phone number to identify your account and link your scores and tournament participation.

Other services: The Service may use other third-party services (e.g. hosting, analytics if any). We do not control their privacy practices. Links to third-party websites are for your convenience; we are not responsible for their content or privacy policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the website or mobile app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. For significant changes, we may notify you via the Service where appropriate.
