Break72Data protection
Privacy policy
This policy describes which personal data the Break72 app and the website break72.app process, for what purpose, on what legal basis, how long it is stored, and which rights you have under the GDPR.
In short
What Break72 does not do
- No advertising and no ad tracking in the app.
- No third-party analytics or tracking SDKs (no Google Analytics, no Firebase Analytics, no crash-reporting service).
- No selling or sharing of your data for advertising purposes.
- No cross-app profiling and no automated decisions with legal effect.
Video, audio and photos stay on your device
Swing videos, their audio track and your profile photo are stored only locally on your device. Swing and pose analysis runs entirely on the device (on-device pose detection). These recordings are not uploaded to our servers — only the metrics calculated from them are stored, if you save them.
Processing
Which data we process, and why
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Email address, sign-in code, session tokens | Creating your account, one-time-code sign-in, syncing your devices | Contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR |
| Profile: name, age, gender, handedness, handicap, units, language | Personalized evaluations and correct scoring and training calculations | Contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR |
| Game data: golf bag, club distances, rounds, scorecards, statistics, training results, simulator and quiz progress, fitting results | The core function of the app: recording, evaluating and syncing your game across devices | Contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR |
| Location data (GPS) | Finding nearby golf courses and measuring shot distances and positions on the course. Evaluation happens on the device; only the results you save are stored. | Consent via the system prompt, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR |
| Camera, microphone, photos | Swing recording, pose analysis and profile picture — locally on the device only | Consent via the system prompt, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR |
| Launch monitor data (e.g. Garmin) over the local Wi-Fi | Bringing shot data such as ball speed, spin and carry into your training and distances | Contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR |
| AI coach requests including game context (handicap, distances, round statistics) | Producing the coach's analysis, training plan and answers | Contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR |
| Purchase status / membership | Unlocking paid features. The payment itself is handled by Apple or Google; we receive no payment details. | Contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR |
| Server logs: IP address, timestamp, endpoint called | Operation, security and abuse prevention | Legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR |
You can withdraw consent given through a system prompt at any time in your device settings. The corresponding feature then stops working; the rest of the app continues to function.
Device permissions
What each permission is used for
| Permission | Used for | Leaves the device? |
|---|---|---|
| Location (including background) | Nearby courses, distance measurement and rounds in progress | No — only the results you save |
| Camera and microphone | Swing video and pose analysis | No |
| Photos | Choosing a profile picture | No |
| Wi-Fi / nearby devices | Connecting to a launch monitor on the same network | No — the connection stays local |
| Notifications, alarms, vibration | Training reminders and timers | No — the notifications are generated locally |
