Your privacy, in plain English

Effective 17 September 2026

This policy is provided by ForeAi and covers the ForeAi mobile app (iPhone, Android and Wear OS), the club apps built on the same platform — including the “Kempton Park Golf Club” app (package com.foreai.kempton) — and the foreai.co.za website. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run golf days, club membership and to coach your game. We never sell your data, and we don't use it for advertising or tracking. The apps have no login or password — a device identifier stands in for an account, and linking a club membership is optional.

What the app collects during a golf day

When you join or run a golf day, the app sends a few things to our server so live scoring and the live course map work across everyone's phones:

• Your name — the display name you enter, shown on the tee sheet and leaderboard.
• Your golf handicap and hole scores — so the live standings are accurate.
• A player ID and device ID — so your scores attach to the right person across devices. The device ID is not an advertising identifier.
• Your GPS position, only while you're in a live event — so your team shows on the organiser's live course map and so shots you log from the watch attach to the right spot. This is optional: it's shared only when you've joined an event and allowed location. Outside an event, nothing about your location leaves the phone.

What a club app collects (e.g. Kempton Park Golf Club)

You can use the GPS rangefinder, course maps and scorecard without giving us anything. If you link your club membership (optional), book a tee time or enter a competition, the app sends the following to the club's backend so those features work:

• Name — shown on your digital membership card, the tee sheet and leaderboards.
• Email address — to identify your membership and for booking/entry records.
• Membership number (a user ID) — so your bookings, entries and account attach to the right member.
• Golf handicap index — imported from Handicaps Network Africa (HNA) to show on your card and calculate competition scores.
• A device identifier and push-notification token — to bind your membership to your phone and send club alerts. Not an advertising identifier.

This is optional (collected only once you link your membership or use member features), is used only to run the club app, is not shared with third parties, and is never used for tracking or advertising. Location is not collected — the club app's GPS rangefinder runs on your device only and your position is never sent to the club's servers. Club dues, green fees and entries are shown as invoices; where card payment is offered it is handled entirely by PayFast on their secure checkout — we never see or store your card details.

Sensors used on your device

• Location / GPS — used on your device for distances to the green and the direction to the pin. During a live event it's also sent to the server as above; the rest of the time it stays on the phone. The on-course survey tool saves coordinates on your phone, shared only if you export them.
• Microphone — used only to detect the sound of your ball strike for automatic shot logging. The audio is analysed live on the device and is never recorded, saved, or uploaded.
• Camera — the Swing Coach frames your swing live on the device. Nothing is recorded, saved, or uploaded.
• Motion sensors — detect your swing for tempo feedback and shot logging, on the device.

Subscriptions

ForeAi Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription (monthly or annual). Payment is handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play — we never see your card details. We use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions; when you subscribe or restore a purchase, RevenueCat receives an app-user/device identifier and your purchase information to validate the receipt and unlock Pro across your devices. See RevenueCat's privacy policy, Apple's and Google's.

What the website collects

If you register a team, hole or prize on foreai.co.za, we collect the details you type into the form — typically a contact name, email address, phone number and your team or sponsor information — so the organisers can arrange the golf day and contact you about it. We use it only for that purpose.

How it's stored

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and stored on our hosting providers' servers (the app backend and the foreai.co.za host), kept only as long as needed to run the event and the app. You can ask us to see or delete your data at any time — just email us, or an organiser can remove you from an event.

No tracking

There are no analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking tools in the app. We do not track you across other apps or websites.

Children

The apps are rated for general audiences and are not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

If we change this policy we'll update this page and the effective date above.
