Privacy Policy
How we handle your data at Grip. Written to be read.
Last updated · July 2026
1. What we collect
When you use the Grip app, we collect:
- Profile details you give us: name, email, handicap, home course, and playing preferences.
- Activity data needed to match you and run the app: general location region, availability, messages and conversations, and friend connections.
- Saved calendar events and tee-time activity.
- Notification settings and device tokens, so we can send you push notifications.
2. The Grip website
Before launch, our website lets you join a waitlist by entering your email. We use it only to tell you when Grip is available, and store it securely with our hosting provider. Ask us to remove you any time: [email protected].
3. How we use it
We use your data to match you with compatible playing partners, deliver the app's features (messaging, courses, trips, notifications), keep the community safe, and communicate service updates. We do not sell your data.
4. Who sees it
Other Grip users see the profile fields you choose to show — usually first name, handicap, and general area. Precise location is never shown. Our service providers (hosting and infrastructure) see only what they need to keep the app running, under contract.
5. Your rights
- Access a copy of your data
- Correct anything that's wrong
- Delete your account and everything tied to it
- Object to specific processing
Email [email protected] and we'll action your request. See our account deletion page for how to delete your account.
6. Retention
Active accounts are kept while you use Grip. When you delete your account, your personal data is removed immediately and permanently and cannot be recovered — we keep only the limited records the law requires (for example, safety reports or transaction records where applicable). Waitlist emails are kept until launch or until you ask us to remove them.
7. Children
Grip is 18+. We don't knowingly process data from under-18s.
