What we collect and why
- Account details (name, email, login credentials) — to create and run your account (contract).
- Golf information (handicap, goals, practice plans, rounds, Combine scores, round reflections) — to provide and personalise the service (contract).
- Messages and support emails — to answer questions and deliver coaching (contract).
- Usage and device data (pages visited, IP address, browser type) — to keep the service secure, prevent fraud and improve it (legitimate interests).
- Marketing emails — only if you opt in; you can unsubscribe at any time (consent).
If you join Check In With Chris, Chris can see your practice activity and round reflections to coach you. Swing videos are shared through CoachNow under its own privacy policy.
