Golfers Anonymous Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 9, 2026

Last updated: November 9, 2026

Golfers Anonymous ("GA," "we," "us," or "our") is operated by Addictive Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as Golfers Anonymous. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you use the Golfers Anonymous iOS app, our website at golfers-anonymous.com, and related services (together, the "Services"). Settle Every Match, and know exactly what happens with your data.

The short version

This summary is here to help. The full policy below is what actually governs.

• What we collect: what you give us (like account details, scores, games and handicap info), what your device and the app tell us (like app activity and device information), and information from partners such as Lucra and Apple. Campaign parameters in GA links are recorded in our database and PostHog.
• Real-money games run on Lucra. Lucra is a separate company and the merchant of record for real-money play. It handles identity verification, payments and holding funds during play, under its own privacy policy.
• Subscriptions are billed by Apple. We get your subscription status, never your card number.
• Analytics and marketing measurement: we use PostHog for product analytics and measure campaigns using UTM parameters in GA links recorded in our database and PostHog. We do not use advertising pixels or conversion APIs or send hashed email or phone numbers to Meta, Google, TikTok or Reddit.
• What stays in the clubhouse: we don't give ad partners the details of your matches, such as stake amounts, opponents or where you played.
• Age limits: you must be 18 or older to use GA. Real-money play may require a higher minimum age in some states.
• Your choices: you can request access, correction or deletion of your information and delete your GA account. See Sections 10 and 11.
• Questions? Email info@golfers-anonymous.com.

1. Who we are and what this policy covers

Addictive Technologies, Inc. is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. This policy applies to the Services we operate. It does not cover information collected by third parties that you interact with through GA, including:

• Lucra, which runs real-money games, identity verification, payments and payouts. Lucra's handling of your information is governed by Lucra's own privacy policy: https://www.playlucra.com/legal/privacy-policy.
• Apple, which runs the App Store, processes subscription payments, and provides iOS features such as the App Tracking Transparency prompt. See Apple's privacy policy at apple.com/legal/privacy.
• Ad platforms, social networks and other websites you visit through links in GA, each of which has its own policies.

Our Terms of Service https://golfers-anonymous.com/terms also apply to your use of the Services.

2. Information we collect

2.1 Information you give us

• Account information: such as your name or username, email address, and login details. At launch you can sign in with your email address (we send a verification code; there is no password) or with Sign in with Apple, including Apple's "Hide My Email" relay address.
• Age information: we do not collect your date of birth in the GA app. You must be at least 18 to use GA. For real-money play, Lucra verifies your age as part of its profile verification process, under Lucra's own privacy policy.
• Profile information: such as a display name, profile photo, and home course or region. These profile fields exist at launch.
• Golf information: rounds and scores you log, games you set up or join (for example wolf, nassau, skins and outings), tournament entries, and results. If you link your golf handicap, your handicap ID and handicap index. Handicap linking is available at launch.
• Social information: friends, groups and invitations, creator or referral codes you enter, and content you post or send in the app. In-app messaging and comments are available at launch.
• In-app characters and support: what you type or say to Randy the Support Dog, an AI-powered in-app character who is live at launch, or to our support team.
• Communications with us: emails, support requests, feedback and survey answers.
• Website sign-ups: the email address you give us when you join our waitlist or ask to be notified at launch.

2.2 Information collected automatically

• Device and app information: device model, operating system and version, app version, language, time zone, and identifiers such as Apple's Identifier for Vendors (IDFV).
• Usage information: how you use the Services, such as app installs and opens, account sign-up, rounds logged, games created, friends invited, features used, and milestones such as starting a subscription, joining your first real-money game, or entering a tournament.
• Attribution information: campaign, creator-link and referral-code information associated with GA links, including UTM parameters, recorded in our database and PostHog.
• Location information: approximate location inferred from your IP address. If you grant location permission, precise device location for on-course features such as GPS yardages and course maps, and to help confirm eligibility for real-money play (see Section 4). At launch the GA app requests location permission for GPS yardages and course maps, and to help confirm eligibility for real-money play.
• Diagnostics: GA does not use a separate crash-reporting tool. PostHog is used for product analytics, with error tracking and session replay disabled. Lucra's SDK includes Sentry, controlled by Lucra and covered by Lucra's privacy terms. Apple crash reports are available only when you opt in to Share with App Developers.
• Website information: campaign parameters in GA links, such as UTM tags.

2.3 Information from third parties

• Lucra: if you play real-money games, Lucra may tell us whether your identity verification and eligibility checks were successful, that your entry funds are being held for a game, game results, payout and dispute status, and transaction amounts such as your entry amount, the total pot and our share of fees.
• Apple: subscription status and transaction details, such as your plan, free-trial status, renewals, cancellations and transaction IDs. Apple does not give us your payment card details. If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple shares the name and email (or relay email) you choose to share. Sign in with Apple is available at launch.
• Campaign measurement: UTM parameters in GA links are recorded in our database and PostHog.
• Handicap services: if you link your handicap, your handicap ID and handicap index from the handicap service.
• Creators and partners: referral or creator codes linked to your sign-up.

3. How we use information

• To run the Services: create and manage your account, keep score, track rounds and handicaps, set up games, groups, leaderboards and tournaments, and show you head-to-head stats.
• To support real-money play with Lucra: connect you to Lucra's identity verification, payment and payout services, and confirm eligibility for age and location rules.
• To manage subscriptions: confirm your GA Plus subscription status, free trial and renewals through Apple.
• To provide support and respond to your requests.
• To keep GA safe and fair: prevent fraud, cheating, abuse and unauthorized access, protect the integrity of competitions, and enforce our Terms.
• To understand and improve GA: analyze usage, fix bugs, and develop new features.
• To measure our marketing: understand which campaigns, creators and partners bring people to GA, using campaign parameters in GA links recorded in our database and PostHog (see Sections 5 and 6).
• To communicate with you: send service messages (like account, security and game updates) and, where allowed, marketing emails and notifications, which you can opt out of. Push notifications are used at launch. We do not send SMS.
• To comply with law and respond to lawful requests.
• To create aggregated or de-identified information that can't reasonably identify you. We maintain and use such information in de-identified form and don't try to re-identify it, except as the law allows.

4. Location and eligibility for real-money play

Real-money games on GA are powered by Lucra. Where they are available, and any additional eligibility rules (including a higher minimum age in some places), are governed by Lucra and set out in Lucra's Terms of Service at https://www.playlucra.com/legal/terms-of-service. Free play may be available in more places than real-money play, as set out in Lucra's Terms of Service. You must still be 18 or older to use GA.

• We check your location for real-money play. Lucra may also perform location checks and verifies identity under its own privacy policy.
• Any other eligibility rules for real-money play, including residency or location rules, are set by Lucra and described in Lucra's Terms of Service.
• You can turn off location access at any time in your iOS Settings. If you do, real-money play and location-based features such as GPS yardages may not work.
• We do not share your precise location with advertising partners.

5. How we share information

We share personal information only as described here:

• Lucra (third-party game platform): real-money features involve information needed for eligibility, games, payments and disputes. Lucra is an independent company and uses information under its own privacy policy.
• Apple: to manage App Store subscriptions and as needed for iOS features.
• Service providers: companies that work for us, such as cloud hosting, product analytics (PostHog), customer support, email delivery, AI tools, and software development and maintenance. No separate mobile measurement partner is identified; confirmed campaign measurement uses GA's database and PostHog. Providers may use information only to provide services to us. Some providers, including our development team, may access information from outside the United States.
• Campaign measurement: we use UTM parameters in GA links, recorded in our database and PostHog. We do not send hashed email addresses or phone numbers to Meta, Google, TikTok or Reddit, and we do not use advertising pixels or conversion APIs. We do not give advertising partners the details of your matches, such as stake amounts, opponents or where you played.
• Creators and partners: creators and course affiliates have no access to our systems. Information shared with them consists only of aggregate referral totals, not names, usernames or email addresses.
• Legal and safety reasons: to comply with law, legal process or government requests; to enforce our Terms; and to protect the rights, property or safety of GA, our users, Lucra or others, including to investigate fraud.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or part of our business or assets. The recipient will be required to honor this policy or give you notice.
• With your consent or at your direction.
• Aggregated or de-identified information that can't reasonably identify you.

6. Cookies, SDKs and tracking

6.1 In the app

6.2 Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT)

Apple provides App Tracking Transparency controls in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. Confirmed UTM measurement in GA's database and PostHog does not by itself establish IDFA access or Apple attribution details.

6.3 On our website

We do not use advertising pixels or conversion APIs. Campaign measurement uses UTM parameters in GA links, recorded in our database and PostHog. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

6.4 Your opt-out options

• iOS: turn off Allow Apps to Request to Track or deny GA in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, and manage Apple Advertising settings in Settings > Privacy & Security > Apple Advertising.
• Contact info@golfers-anonymous.com with a privacy request.
• Ad platform settings: you can manage ad preferences directly with Meta, Google (My Ad Center), TikTok and Reddit, and through industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) and the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org).

7. Children and age limits

• Under 18: GA is not for anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have, we will delete it. If you believe someone under 18 has given us information, contact us at info@golfers-anonymous.com.
• You must be 18 or older to use GA. Real-money play may require a higher minimum age in some places, as set out in Lucra's Terms of Service. Lucra verifies age and identity before real-money play, under Lucra's own privacy policy.
• GA is for adults 18 and older, and we do not target ads to anyone under 18.

8. How long we keep information

We keep personal information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Services, and after that for as long as reasonably necessary to comply with legal, tax and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, protect the integrity of competitions, and enforce our agreements. When we no longer need it, we delete it or de-identify it. Lucra and Apple keep their own records under their own policies.

9. How we protect information

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards, including access controls and encryption in transit. No system is perfectly secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security. Keep your login details private and let us know right away if you think your account has been compromised.

10. Your choices and account deletion

• Profile and account details: review and update them in the app.
• Marketing emails: use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email. We may still send service messages.
• Push notifications: turn them off in iOS Settings or in the app.
• Location: change location permission in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
• Tracking and targeted ads: see Section 6.4 and Section 11.

Deleting your account

You can delete your GA account in the app or request deletion by emailing info@golfers-anonymous.com from the email address on your account. When you delete your account:

• We delete or de-identify your personal information, except information we must keep for legal, tax, fraud-prevention, security or dispute-resolution reasons, or for completed transactions.
• Your Apple subscription is not cancelled automatically. Cancel it in iOS Settings > your name > Subscriptions to stop future charges. Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple.
• Lucra keeps its own records. Information held by Lucra (such as identity verification and transaction records) is subject to Lucra's privacy policy and legal obligations. To make a request about that information, contact Lucra support@playlucra.com. If you have a balance or pending games with Lucra, follow Lucra's process for those funds, as described in Lucra's Terms of Service.

11. US state privacy rights

Depending on where you live, state privacy laws (including in California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon and other states with similar laws) may give you the rights below. We aim to offer these rights to all US users, subject to verification and legal exceptions.

11.1 Your rights

• Know and access: learn what personal information we collect, use and disclose, and get a copy of it, in a portable format where required.
• Correct inaccurate personal information.
• Delete personal information, subject to legal exceptions.
• Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information and of targeted advertising (also called cross-context behavioral advertising).
• Opt out of profiling used for decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. Lucra's identity and eligibility processing is governed by its own privacy policy.
• Sensitive information: we use sensitive personal information (such as account login credentials and, if collected, precise location) only for purposes permitted by law, such as providing the Services, security and preventing fraud, and not to infer characteristics about you.
• Non-discrimination: we won't discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

11.2 "Do Not Sell or Share" and targeted advertising

Confirmed current campaign measurement uses UTM parameters in GA links recorded in our database and PostHog. We do not send hashed email or phone numbers to Meta, Google, TikTok or Reddit and do not use advertising pixels or conversion APIs.

11.4 How to make a request

12. Where we operate

GA is currently offered in the United States only, on iOS. Any launch in another country, including Canada, requires a separate legal review and policy update.

13. Links and third-party services

GA may link to or integrate with third-party services, such as Lucra, Apple, social networks and course or handicap services. We aren't responsible for their privacy practices. Please review their policies.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll let you know, for example by updating the date above, posting a notice in the app or on our website, or emailing you, before the change takes effect where required by law. Please check back now and then.
