Privacy policy.

1. What this policy covers

This policy covers the After Nine app’s offline demo and online profiles/discovery beta, this support website, and information you send us for support. If your app opens without sign-in, you are using the offline demo. If it requests an email sign-in code, you are using the online beta.

2. Information we handle

Offline demo data

Your profile, preferences, selected photos or video, and simulated likes, matches, messages, reports, blocks, and rounds are stored locally by the app. This information is not uploaded to us by the demo. Imported media is limited to items you choose through the system picker. Local app data may be included in device backups depending on your Apple settings.

Online account and profile

When you use the online beta, we process your email address, account identifier, authentication records, and the text profile and preferences you save. These can include your name, city or neighborhood, golf experience or handicap, playing styles, formats, availability, favorite courses, goals, biography, hobbies, and optional work and transportation details. We also store profile visibility, revision information, and timestamps.

Authentication tokens are stored in the device’s Keychain to keep you signed in. The current online beta excludes photo and video uploads and does not automatically upload existing demo data. Your location is text you provide; the app does not collect precise GPS coordinates.

Support and technical information

If you contact us, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments you send. Our hosting and authentication providers may process technical request information, such as IP addresses, timestamps, and browser or device information, to deliver and protect their services. If you submit TestFlight feedback, Apple may provide us with that feedback and related diagnostics under its TestFlight processes.

3. How information is used

We use information to sign you in, save and display your profile, find golfers in the same city or neighborhood, apply your privacy choices, troubleshoot errors, respond to support and privacy requests, and protect the service against misuse. The current app does not include third-party advertising or analytics SDKs, and we do not sell your personal information or use it for targeted advertising.

4. What is shared and with whom

Other beta golfers: Online profiles begin hidden. When you enable Visible in discovery, your shared profile is available to other eligible signed-in golfers in the same city or neighborhood. Work and transportation details are included only when you enable their sharing controls. Your account email address and authentication tokens are not part of your shared profile. Turning off visibility prevents future discovery results from including your profile; it cannot remove copies another person has already made.

Service providers: Supabase provides online authentication and profile storage. Email delivery services process the information needed to deliver sign-in and support emails. Cloudflare serves this website. These services process information needed to operate their functions. See Supabase’s privacy policy, Cloudflare’s privacy policy, and Apple’s privacy policy for their respective practices.

Information may also be disclosed when necessary to comply with a legal obligation or protect people and the service against abuse. Service providers may process information in countries other than where you live.

5. Retention and deletion

Local demo: Data remains in the app until you reset or delete the local account or remove the app’s data. Use Profile → Delete local account → Delete all local demo data to remove the app’s local profile, imported media, and simulated activity. Copies in device backups are managed through your Apple backup settings.

Online beta: Your account and saved profile remain until you delete the account. Use Profile → Delete account and confirm. When the server completes the deletion successfully, it removes the account and associated profile from the active database, and the app clears its saved sign-in session. Signing out or uninstalling does not delete the server account.

Deletion from the active database does not necessarily immediately remove copies in provider backups or technical logs. Those copies follow the providers’ configured retention cycles. Support correspondence may remain as needed to resolve your request and address legal or security obligations. Contact us for details about retained information or to request deletion of support correspondence.

6. Your choices and requests

You can edit your profile, turn discovery visibility off, change optional work and transportation sharing, sign out, or delete your account in the app. You can choose not to add optional profile information or media.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information, object to or restrict certain processing, or withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. Email SUPPORT_EMAIL to make a request. We may ask for information needed to verify your identity. You may also have the right to contact your local data protection authority.

7. Website cookies and security

These support and privacy pages do not include analytics scripts, advertising trackers, forms, or application cookies. The hosting provider still processes web requests to serve and protect the site. Clicking an email link opens your email application; it does not submit a form on this website.

The online app communicates with its backend over HTTPS and stores sign-in credentials in the device’s Keychain. No storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.

8. Adults only

After Nine is intended for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the online app, contact us so we can investigate and remove it as appropriate.

9. Changes and contact

We may update this policy as After Nine changes. The date above identifies the latest revision. We will provide additional notice of material changes when required.
