Welcome to LibreGolf

LibreGolf is committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we collect, use, and protect your information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding your personal information when you use our free golf GPS and scorecard application, website, and related services.

As a community-driven platform, LibreGolf operates on the principles of openness, transparency, and user control. We believe you should have full control over your data while benefiting from our free golf technology.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect basic information including your name, email address, country, and any profile information you choose to provide. This helps us provide personalized features and communicate with you about your account.

Golf Activity Data

We store your golf scorecards, round information, course selections, and game statistics to provide you with detailed performance tracking and historical data. This includes hole-by-hole scores, course names, playing dates, and calculated statistics.

Our mobile app uses GPS location data to provide distance measurements to golf holes. Location data is processed locally on your device and used only for GPS distance calculations during active rounds.

GPS & Location Data

Location Privacy

Your precise location is only used locally on your device for GPS distance calculations. We do not store or transmit your exact position to our servers.

How GPS Works in LibreGolf

  • Real-time Distance: Your device calculates distances to golf holes using stored course coordinates
  • Local Processing: All GPS calculations happen on your device - your location stays private
  • Offline Capable: GPS features work without internet connection, ensuring complete privacy
  • No Tracking: We do not track your movements or create location histories

Course Location Data

Golf course coordinates in our database are general hole positions contributed by the community. These coordinates enable GPS distance calculations but do not include any personal location information.

Community Features

LibreGolf's community-driven approach means users contribute golf course data for everyone's benefit. Here's how community features work:

Course Contributions

  • • Course names and basic information
  • • Hole coordinates and par information
  • • Attribution (your choice: credited or anonymous)
  • • Public course database access for all users

Privacy Controls

  • • Choose credited or anonymous contributions
  • • Control what information you share
  • • Edit or remove your contributions anytime
  • • Opt out of community features entirely
