We are committed to protecting your privacy. This statement explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Your data is used solely to:
Browser Storage for Critical Functions: To enhance your experience and prevent data loss, livematchGOLF uses your browser's local storage capabilities (such as sessionStorage) for strictly necessary functions. This includes temporarily saving your scoring progress during a live session so that it can be recovered if your browser is accidentally closed or refreshed. This data is not used for tracking and is essential for the reliable operation of our scoring features.
All other account and event data is stored securely using Google Firebase services.
Under UK GDPR, you have rights including the right to access, rectify, or request erasure of your personal data. You can manage your account details, including requesting account deletion, directly from your "My Profile" page after logging in. Alternatively, you can request deletion by contacting us at support@livematch.golf. We will handle your request promptly, although some information may be retained as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
Please note that while your account will be deleted, your name may still appear in past match results to maintain the historical accuracy of event records.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your data protection rights have been infringed. See ico.org.uk for details.
We process your personal data under the following lawful bases:
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above:
We use Google Firebase/Google Cloud to host and operate the Service. Our primary data location is europe‑west2 (London, UK). Some ancillary processing (e.g., global content delivery networks or email providers) may involve international transfers. Where transfers occur outside the UK/EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent mechanisms.
We use strictly necessary browser storage and service worker caching to operate key functionality (e.g., preserving in‑progress scoring and enabling offline performance). We do not use advertising cookies. If we introduce analytics or other non‑essential cookies in the future, we will request your consent and provide an opt‑out.
The Service is not directed to individuals under 18 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
We may send service/transactional messages related to your account. We will only send optional marketing communications with your consent, and you can opt out at any time via the message footer or by contacting us.
We do not perform automated decision‑making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects about you.
