Privacy policy

Your player profiles and rounds stay on your device. Here’s what that means, and what happens when you visit our website or contact us.

Effective date: 17 September 2026 · Applies to the current Bogey Bank iPhone app and bogeybank.com.

Who is responsible?

Bogey Bank is provided by Steven Hood. For privacy questions or requests, contact [email protected].

Information stored on your device

The app stores the information you enter to provide scorekeeping, player records and round history. This can include names, nicknames, optional profile photos, playing handicaps, golfing preferences, saved groups, course selections, scores, game settings, stakes, calculated balances, trophies and achievements.

This information is stored in local app or browser storage. We do not operate a cloud account or automatic multi-device sync for it. Your operating system or backup service may include app data in device backups according to your settings.

Photos and permissions

You may choose a player photo using the device’s available photo or camera controls. Photos added to a profile are processed and stored on your device; the app does not upload them to us. Only add information or photos about other people with their permission. You can decline photo access and still keep scores, and manage permissions in device settings.

Sharing and exports

If you choose to share results, copy them or export scores, the information you select leaves the app through the destination you choose. That destination, its recipients and its privacy rules then apply. Check the contents before sharing. We do not automatically publish your scores, photos or player profiles.

Website hosting and online resources

Our website is hosted by Cloudflare. Visiting the website sends technical connection information, such as your IP address, browser details and requested pages, to the hosting service to deliver and secure the site. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

The current app and marketing website may request fonts from Google Fonts. These requests can transmit your IP address and browser or device request information to Google. See Google Fonts privacy information. These new support and privacy pages use system fonts instead.

When you open a map or an external course guide, or load a map where available, the third-party service receives the information needed to serve that request. OpenStreetMap and club websites apply their own privacy policies. Bogey Bank does not request your precise GPS location for scorekeeping.

Local storage and cached files keep the browser game and your saves working. We do not add advertising cookies or behavioural analytics to these pages. Hosting services may use security measures needed to protect and deliver the website.

When you email support

If you contact us, we receive your email address, message and any attachments you choose to send. We use these to answer you, investigate the issue and keep necessary support records, not to add you to a marketing list. Our email provider processes correspondence to deliver and store it. Please send only what is needed for your enquiry.

We process support correspondence and necessary website security information for our legitimate interests in helping users and operating a reliable service. We retain correspondence only as long as needed for the enquiry, related issues or applicable legal obligations.

Sharing and international processing

We do not sell your personal information. Hosting and email providers process information needed to provide their services; disclosure may also be required by law. Those providers may process information outside your country under their own applicable data-protection arrangements. Your local game records are not sent to those providers by our scorekeeping code.

Your choices and deletion

Use available profile controls to correct or remove information. To clear all local iPhone app data, delete the app rather than offloading it. For the browser game, clear Bogey Bank website data in your browser. This can permanently remove rounds and profiles; export anything you wish to keep first. Backups, exported files and information you share must be managed separately.

We cannot view or retrieve your local game records. For information you have sent to us, you may request access, correction or deletion and, where applicable, restriction, portability or object to processing by emailing the address above. You may also raise a concern with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or your local data-protection authority.

Children and other players

We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information through a Bogey Bank account, as there is no account service. A parent or guardian should oversee any child’s use and the sharing of their information. If a child’s personal information has been sent to support, contact us to request its removal.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page and its effective date when the app’s data handling changes. New online account, sync or payment features would require this information to be reviewed before launch.
