2. Trip and Payment Information

SplitFairway is an expense-calculation and payment-tracking service. It does not hold, transfer, or process money between users.

Payments recorded in SplitFairway occur through services or methods chosen by users, such as Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, cash, or check. SplitFairway does not collect payment-card numbers, bank-account numbers, or login credentials for those services.

A payment record in SplitFairway reflects information reported or confirmed by users. SplitFairway does not independently verify that an external payment occurred.

• Provide and maintain the Service
• Create and manage trips
• Calculate expenses and balances
• Display payment and settlement information
• Process trip invitations
• Send service-related emails and requested reminders

• Respond to feedback
• Investigate errors and technical problems
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access

• Enforce our Terms of Service
• Comply with legal obligations
• Improve the reliability and usability of the Service

We do not use trip information or payment records to provide advertising.

4. Information Visible to Other Trip Members

SplitFairway is designed for shared golf trips. Information entered for a trip may be visible to the trip captain, co-treasurers, and other invited participants as necessary to operate the shared ledger.

Depending on a participant's role and the trip configuration, shared information may include:

• Participant names
• Trip details
• Expense descriptions and amounts
• Expense allocations
• Amounts owed
• Reported payments
• Payment confirmation status
• Trip-related activity

Only invite people you trust to a trip. Do not enter information that is unrelated to organizing or settling the trip.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

SplitFairway uses essential cookies, authentication tokens, and browser storage to:

• Keep users signed in
• Maintain account security
• Remember necessary preferences
• Support installed-app functionality
• Operate core features

Blocking essential cookies or storage may prevent account login or other parts of the Service from functioning correctly.

SplitFairway does not currently use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.

6. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information in the following circumstances.

Other trip participants: We disclose trip-related information to authorized members of the same trip as necessary to provide expense calculations, balances, and payment records.

Service providers: We use third-party providers to operate the Service. These providers may process information on our behalf for purposes such as:

• Authentication and database hosting
• Website and application hosting
• Transactional email delivery
• Security and error monitoring
• Customer-support and feedback delivery

SplitFairway currently uses Supabase for authentication and database services. Other providers may be used to host the application or deliver service-related communications.

These providers may access information only as necessary to provide their services to SplitFairway and are subject to their applicable contractual and legal obligations.

Legal and safety reasons: We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or valid government request
• Enforce our agreements and policies
• Investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents
• Protect the rights, safety, and property of SplitFairway, our users, or others

Business transactions: If SplitFairway is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. Any successor will remain subject to this Privacy Policy or provide notice of materially different practices.

At your direction: We may disclose information when you direct us to do so or provide consent.

7. No Sale or Targeted Advertising

SplitFairway does not:

• Sell personal information
• Share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising
• Use personal information for targeted advertising
• Operate as a data broker

If these practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any legally required choices before beginning the new activity.

8. Data Retention

We retain account and trip information while an account remains active and for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service.

We may retain limited information for longer when reasonably necessary to:

• Maintain security records
• Prevent fraud or abuse
• Resolve disputes
• Enforce agreements
• Meet legal obligations
• Maintain accurate records for other members of a shared trip

Deleted information may remain temporarily in protected backups until those backups are overwritten through our normal backup cycle. We do not use backup copies for ordinary business purposes after a deletion request has been completed.

9. Account and Data Deletion

You may initiate deletion of your account through the Account Settings section of SplitFairway.

Account deletion may include:

• Deleting your authentication identity and user profile
• Ending active sessions
• Deleting trips where you are the only active participant
• Removing or expiring unused invitations
• Deleting associated feedback records where applicable
• Disconnecting your identity from shared trips

Deleting your account will not delete another person's information.

When deleting your information from a trip shared with other golfers, SplitFairway may preserve limited expense and payment records in anonymized form when necessary to keep the remaining participants' balances and ledgers accurate. Your identifying profile information will be removed or replaced with a generic label.

If you are the only captain of a shared trip, another eligible participant may be assigned as captain so the trip is not left without someone able to manage it.

If you cannot access your account, you may request assistance by emailing support@splitfairwaygolf.com from the email address associated with your account.

Additional information is available at: https://www.splitfairwaygolf.com/legal/data-deletion

We may retain information that we are legally required to keep or that is reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, or dispute resolution.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information we maintain about you
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Delete personal information
• Request a portable copy of certain information
• Obtain information about how personal information is collected, used, or disclosed
• Withdraw consent where processing depends on consent
• Appeal the denial of an applicable privacy request
• Opt out of certain data practices if SplitFairway adopts them in the future

You may exercise available account controls through SplitFairway or contact us at support@splitfairwaygolf.com.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

Some information may be exempt from a request when retention or processing is permitted or required by law.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information.

Depending on the applicable system, these measures may include:

• Encrypted HTTPS connections
• Supabase authentication
• Database access controls
• Row-level database security
• Restricted administrative access
• Server-side authorization for privileged actions
• Security logging and monitoring

No internet service or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for protecting your password and should notify us if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

12. Children's Privacy

SplitFairway is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information to SplitFairway, contact support@splitfairwaygolf.com so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

13. United States Operation

SplitFairway is operated from the United States. Information may be stored or processed in the United States and in other locations where our service providers operate.

If you access SplitFairway from outside the United States, you understand that applicable privacy protections may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

SplitFairway is currently intended for adult users in the United States. We do not represent that the Service has been configured to satisfy every privacy requirement outside the United States.

14. Third-Party Services

The Service may contain links to third-party services such as payment applications, golf courses, lodging providers, or travel vendors.

SplitFairway does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. Information submitted directly to a third party is governed by that third party's privacy policy.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the Service changes.

If we make material changes, we may provide notice through the Service, on our website, or by email when appropriate. The Effective Date at the top of the policy indicates when it was most recently updated.
