Foursome helps golfers find playing partners. We collect only what the Service needs to do that. We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it for advertising. We do not show ads. We do not track you across other apps or websites. Other users never see your email address.
This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why, who sees it, and the choices you have. It applies to the Foursome mobile apps, the web app and the website at foursomegolfus.com (together, the "Service").
Information you give us:
Information collected automatically:
We do not collect your precise location, contacts, photos, microphone, camera, calendar, health data, payment card details, government identifiers or advertising identifiers. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking technologies. We ask only for a 5-digit ZIP code, which you type in yourself.
We use personal information to: create and secure your account; show your profile and rounds to other golfers; let players in a round coordinate through chat; show you relevant rounds; review reports, enforce our Terms and keep the community safe; send sign-in codes and important service, safety and legal notices; respond to support requests; diagnose problems and improve the Service; tell waitlist subscribers when the Service launches; and comply with the law and protect our rights and the rights and safety of others.
We do not use your personal information for advertising, we do not build advertising profiles, and we do not use automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
Other signed-in users can see your name, handicap, average score, pace, playing style, ZIP code, bio, and the rounds you created or joined. Only the players who have joined a round can read that round's group chat, and only while they remain in it. Your email address is never shown to other users. Please do not put contact details or other sensitive information in your profile, round notes or messages unless you want other users to have them.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share personal information only as follows:
We keep your account information, profile, rounds and messages while your account is open. When you delete your account, your profile, the rounds you created, your participation in other rounds, your messages, your blocks and the reports you filed are permanently deleted from our live systems; residual copies in encrypted backups expire on our providers' normal schedule. We may keep limited information longer where needed to comply with law, resolve disputes, enforce our Terms or prevent a removed user from returning. Waitlist emails are kept until launch communications are complete or you ask us to delete them. Security logs are kept for a limited period by our providers.
We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, encryption of the sign-in session stored on your device, database access rules that limit each user to the data they are permitted to see, and limited staff access. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we learn of a breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as the law requires.
Everyone can: view and edit their profile in the app; leave rounds; block other users; and permanently delete their account from the Profile screen.
Depending on where you live (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas, Oregon and other states with privacy laws), you may have the right to: know what personal information we hold about you and how we use and share it; access and receive a copy of it; correct it; delete it; and appeal a decision we make about your request. Because we do not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or use sensitive personal information for purposes that require an opt-out, there is nothing to opt out of. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any right.
To make a request, email support@foursomegolfus.com from your account email address. We will verify the request using your account email, respond within the time the law requires, and explain how to appeal if we decline. An authorized agent may make a request on your behalf with proof of authorization.
In the past 12 months we have collected these categories of personal information for the purposes in Section 4: identifiers (email address, name, IP address); internet or network activity (sign-in and diagnostic logs); general geolocation (the ZIP code you enter); and the content you choose to provide (profile, rounds, messages, reports). We collect it from you and from your device. We disclose it to the service providers in Section 6. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined in California law, and we have no actual knowledge of selling or sharing the personal information of anyone under 16. Retention is described in Section 7.
The Service is only for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18, and never from children under 13. If you believe a minor has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
The Service is operated from, and your information is stored in, the United States. It is intended only for people located in the United States. If you use the Service from elsewhere, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, whose laws may differ from those where you live.
Because we do not track you across third-party websites or sell or share personal information, the Service does not respond differently to "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signals.
The Service may reference golf courses and other third parties. This Policy does not cover their practices. When you deal with a golf course or another user outside the Service, their handling of your information is up to them.
We may update this Policy from time to time. If a change is material, we will give notice in the app, by email or on the website before it takes effect, and we will update the effective date above.
