SwingFeed Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 10, 2026

Introduction

SwingFeed ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the SwingFeed mobile application.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and username.

Content You Create

We store videos you record, including golf swing videos, thumbnails, and any drawings or annotations you add. Videos are private by default unless you choose to share them.

Location Data

SwingFeed uses your precise location for two purposes: finding nearby golf courses when you start a round, and showing you live distances to the green, hazards, and fairway landing areas during play.

Location access is foreground-only. SwingFeed does not track your location in the background. When the app is closed or your phone is locked, we are not reading your GPS. When you return to the app during an active round, location updates resume automatically.

While you are playing a round, your live GPS position is used on your device to compute distances. It is not transmitted to our servers or shared with third parties. When you finish or end a round, a summary of the round (course, date, and holes played) is saved to your account so you can review your history.

You can revoke location permission at any time in iOS Settings → SwingFeed → Location. The nearby-courses search and on-course distance features will stop working without location access, but the rest of the app will continue to function.

Usage Data

We collect information about how you use the app, including features accessed and interactions with content.

Subscription & Purchase Data

If you subscribe to SwingFeed Pro or Pro+, your subscription is processed entirely through Apple's App Store and StoreKit. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment method, credit card number, or Apple ID password. We receive only:

Your subscription status (active, expired, or cancelled)
The subscription tier you are on (Free, Pro, or Pro+)
Your subscription expiration date and renewal status

This information is stored locally on your device and cached in our systems solely to provide you with the correct features and video storage limits for your plan.

Data Storage

Your data is stored securely using Google Firebase services, including Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and Cloud Storage. Data is stored in the United States.

Subscription status is cached locally on your device using AsyncStorage and verified through Apple's StoreKit framework. No payment or financial data is ever transmitted to or stored on our servers.
