Last updated: 2026-07-23 · applies to the SwingIQ Android app and admin services
SwingIQ ("we", "us") is an AI golf-swing critique app. This policy describes exactly what data we collect, why, who else touches it, and how to delete it — matched to what the app actually does today, not boilerplate.
Every user gets an anonymous Firebase identity on first launch — no email, phone number, or name required to use the app. If you choose to link Google Sign-In (optional, from Profile), we then also hold the email address tied to that Google account.
Recording happens on your device. We do not upload your full video — only up to 5 still frames extracted on-device per swing are sent to our server to generate a critique. Those frame images are stored for 30 days and then automatically and permanently deleted (an automated storage lifecycle rule, not a manual process). On-device pose detection (Google's ML Kit, running entirely on your phone) also computes a simple overlay line, which is stored alongside your critique text so it can be shown again later without re-uploading the image.
Critique text, your ratings, AI Coach chat messages, drill unlocks, and your coin ledger are stored until you delete them (see "Your controls" below) or delete your account.
Crash reports and basic usage analytics (e.g. which screens are used, not swing content) are collected via Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Analytics, both operated by Google.
Rewarded ads (an optional way to earn coins) are served by Google AdMob. Showing an ad involves the standard data AdMob itself requires to serve and verify ads (e.g. a device advertising identifier) — governed by Google's own ad policies, not something SwingIQ separately collects or resells. We do not sell your swing footage, critique history, or account data to advertisers or any other third party.
SwingIQ never sees your payment card details. As of this beta, in-app coin packs and the subscription tier shown in the Coin Store are not yet purchasable — that's still being wired up. Once live, all purchases will go through Google Play Billing, which handles payment processing under its own terms; we only receive a purchase confirmation and a coin grant to apply to your account.
| Who | What they get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google (Firebase) | Anonymous/Google-linked identity, crash reports, basic usage analytics | Sign-in, app stability, understanding feature usage |
| Cloudflare | Everything SwingIQ stores (account records, frame images, critique text) — our hosting/database/storage provider | Running the app's backend |
| Google AI Studio (Gemini), and/or OpenRouter (which may route to Anthropic's Claude) | Your swing's extracted frame images, sent per-critique | Generating your critique text — one of these providers is used per request, configurable by us without a client update |
| Google AdMob | Standard ad-serving data (see "Advertising" above) | Showing rewarded ads you choose to watch |
| Google Play Billing | Purchase transactions (once enabled) | Processing in-app purchases |
From Profile → Data & Privacy, at any time:
SwingIQ is not directed at children under 13, and we ask that you not use it if you're under that age.
SwingIQ's critiques are AI-generated instructional feedback about your golf swing mechanics. They are not medical, physical therapy, or injury-diagnosis advice. If you're dealing with pain or a physical condition, talk to a qualified professional instead of relying on the app.
If this policy changes materially, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
