Last updated: February 13, 2026
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly:
- Account information: name, email address, and password (encrypted)
- Profile information: handicap, golf preferences, equipment details
- Content: posts, comments, reviews, round scores, and chat messages
- AI interactions: conversations with the AI caddy (used to improve your experience)

3. AI Caddy Memory
The AI caddy stores "memories" about your golf game (swing tendencies, club distances, preferences) to provide better personalized advice. You can view and delete these memories at any time from your profile. Memories are associated with your account and not shared with other users.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:
- Service providers: hosting (Vercel), database (Neon), email (Resend), AI (Google) — only as needed to operate the Service
- Other users: your public profile, posts, and comments are visible to other Caddyslack users
- Legal requirements: if required by law or to protect our rights
5. Data Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encrypted passwords (bcrypt), SSL/TLS encryption in transit, and secure database hosting. No system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Delete your account and associated data
- Delete specific AI caddy memories
- Export your data
7. Cookies
We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies.
