Golf Director is a single-player game that runs entirely on your device. It does not have accounts, does not connect to any server of ours, and does not contain any analytics, advertising or tracking software.
We do not collect any personal data from you. None at all.
In App Store Connect terms, Golf Director declares Data Not Collected across every category. The rest of this policy explains what that means in practice.
Who we are
Golf Director is made and published by Sports Stats Limited ("we", "us"). You can reach us at info@sports-stats.org.
Information we collect
None. We have no servers, no database, no account system and no way of identifying you. We do not know that you have installed the game, how long you play, what you do while playing, or whether you have stopped.
The app contains no third-party software development kits for analytics, attribution, crash reporting, advertising or social media.
Information stored on your device
The game keeps your progress locally, in the app's own private storage on your device:
- Save games. Up to three golf clubs, each saved as a file in the app's Documents folder. They contain only game state: your club's name, country, landscape and difficulty, the holes you have designed, facilities, members, staff, sponsors, broadcast deals, loans, the tour players, past results, money and progress.
The save menu reads each save file's modification date to show when you last played it. That date never leaves your device.
This data never leaves your device except as described under "Device backups" below. Deleting a club in the game, or deleting the app, deletes it permanently. We cannot access, retrieve or restore it.
Device backups
If you have iCloud Backup or encrypted local backups switched on in iOS Settings, your save data may be included in those backups, in the same way as data from any other app. Those backups are held in your own Apple Account and are governed by Apple's privacy policy, not this one. We have no access to them. Golf Director does not sync saves between devices.
Purchases
Golf Director may be sold as a paid app, offered free, or both at different times, and it offers optional in-app purchases. Every purchase, whether of the app itself or of in-app content, is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. When you make a purchase:
- Apple handles the transaction, payment and receipt.
- We never see your name, payment card, billing address or Apple Account details.
- For in-app purchases, the app receives only a confirmation from Apple's StoreKit framework that a purchase of a given product completed, which it uses to add that content to your game. For the permanent unlocks, the app asks StoreKit which products your Apple Account owns. Apple's App Store remains the record of what you own.
Apple sends us only aggregate sales reports, never information about individual customers. Apple's handling of your purchase is covered by Apple's own privacy policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
Links out of the app
The app contains a few links that leave it: "Our other games" opens a web page listing our games, "Privacy Policy" and "Terms of Use" open these documents on our website, and "Support" opens your email app with our address filled in. Websites you visit are covered by their own privacy policies. The app sends nothing about you when you tap a link, and we see an email only if you choose to send one.
Tracking and advertising
Golf Director contains no advertising and does no tracking. It does not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA), does not show the App Tracking Transparency prompt, and shares nothing with data brokers or advertising networks.
Children
Golf Director collects no data from anyone, including children. Because we collect nothing, there is nothing we could knowingly or unknowingly collect from a child under 13 (or the equivalent age in your country). Its age rating is shown on its App Store page.
Parents can control whether purchases are possible at all, using Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions on the device.
Your rights
Privacy laws such as the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act give you rights to access, correct, delete and export the personal data a company holds about you, and to object to its sale.
We hold no personal data about you, so there is nothing for us to disclose, correct, delete or export, and nothing that could be sold. We have never sold or shared personal data, because we have never had any. If you would like this confirmed in writing, email info@sports-stats.org and we will confirm it.
Your save data is yours and sits on your device. You can delete it at any time by deleting a club in the game or by deleting the app.
If you email us, we use your message and address only to reply to you, and we delete them when they are no longer needed for that.
Changes to this policy
If a future version of the game does anything differently, such as online leaderboards, cloud saves or crash reporting, we will update this policy before that version is released, change the date at the top, and describe what changed. Continuing to use the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
