Privacy Policy

Bat City Birdies LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Money Caddie mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the App.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

• Account Information: Name, email address, and profile photo when you create an account via Google Sign-In or Apple Sign-In.
• Golf Profile: Handicap index, course handicap, and scoring preferences.
• Game Data: Scores, game settings, bet configurations, and settlement results.

• Contact Information: Name, email, and message content submitted through our contact form.
• Event Registration: Name and email address provided when registering for a hosted scramble or tournament through the App or our website.

Information Collected Through Purchases

We do not receive or store your payment method, credit card number, or billing address. We receive a transaction receipt, subscription status (active, expired, or cancelled), and the associated user account — solely to grant access to purchased features.

Information Collected Automatically

• Device Information: Device type, operating system version, and unique device identifiers.
• Usage Data: App feature usage, session duration, and interaction patterns via Firebase Analytics.
• Crash Data: Crash logs and diagnostic information via Firebase Crashlytics, used solely to identify and fix bugs.
• Location Data: Approximate location (when you grant permission) to find nearby golf courses. Location is used in real time and is not stored on our servers.

• Send transactional communications (game invitations, scramble results, account updates)
• Send promotional communications only with your prior consent (you may withdraw consent at any time)

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• With Other Players: Your display name, profile photo, handicap index, scores, and payment handles are visible to other players in your game session.
• Service Providers: We use Google Firebase to operate the App. Google's privacy policy governs their handling of this data.
• Payment Platforms: Apple and Google process in-app purchases and subscriptions.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental request.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored in Google Firebase, which uses industry-standard encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest. We implement Firebase Security Rules to restrict data access to authorized users.

While we take reasonable measures to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account and game data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at the email below. Upon request, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what personal information is collected, request deletion, and opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information).
