Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Sticks (“Sticks,” “we,” “us”) is a golf scoring and on-course GPS application. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

  • Account information you provide — username, email address, display name, and optional profile details (GHIN number, avatar, goal handicap).
  • Golf activity you create in the app — rounds, hole scores, courses, groups, and side-game results.
  • Location — while you use the on-course GPS, your device location is used to show distances and pace. It is used for the live round experience and is not sold.
  • Phone numbers — if you opt in to text updates (via our opt-in page or a shared round link), we store the number and a record of your consent so we can send the updates you asked for.

How we use information

  • To provide scoring, GPS, stats, and round-sharing features.
  • To send SMS updates you have opted in to — round pace, projected finish, ETA home, and optional live scores.
  • To operate, secure, and improve the service.

SMS / text messaging

We send text messages only to numbers that have opted in. Message frequency varies and is recurring during an active round. Msg & data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP; reply HELP for help.

We do not sell your phone number, and we do not share it — or your SMS consent — with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing purposes. Numbers are shared only with our messaging provider (Twilio) solely to deliver the messages you requested.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us run Sticks (for example, hosting, database, and SMS delivery), and only as needed to provide the service, or where required by law.

Data retention & security

We keep information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, and we take reasonable measures to protect it. You can request deletion of your account or your opt-in record by contacting us.

Your choices

  • Opt out of texts any time by replying STOP.
  • Request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information by emailing us.

Sticks is operated by Andrew Carcich (Sole Proprietorship), based in Los Angeles, California, USA. Questions about this policy or your data? Email support@sticks-golf.app or call +1 (818) 309-5011.
