3. How We Share Information

We may share information in the following situations:

Depending on the event settings, your display name, card/group, score, division, or leaderboard information may be visible to other guide users.

With Service Providers

We may share information with vendors who help us operate the Service, such as hosting providers, payment processors, email providers, analytics tools, map providers, weather providers, and support tools.

With Sponsors or Advertisers

We may provide aggregated or non-personally-identifying analytics to sponsors, such as guide views, sponsor impressions, or sponsor link clicks. We do not sell individual player contact information to sponsors without consent.

For Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, court order, law enforcement request, or if we believe disclosure is needed to protect rights, safety, security, users, events, or the Service.

Business Transfers

If DiscGolf.Guide is transferred to an LLC, sold, merged, reorganized, or otherwise transferred, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

With Your Consent

We may share information when you ask us to or give us permission.

4. Public Guide Information

Some tournament guides are public or accessible by link or QR code. Information published in a guide may be visible to anyone with access to the guide.

Organizers are responsible for deciding what event information, sponsor content, schedules, course notes, and player information they publish.

5. Location Information

Some features may use location data to show maps, GPS distances, nearby holes, or course-related information.

We do not need continuous background location tracking for basic guide viewing. If we later offer features that use background location, we will provide additional notice and choices where required.

You can disable location permissions in your browser or device settings, but some map or distance features may not work correctly.

6. Cookies and Analytics

We may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, preferences, analytics, and performance.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect account login, guide editing, saved preferences, analytics accuracy, or other features.

For more information, see our Cookie Policy.

7. Data Retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably needed to provide the Service, maintain accounts, support events, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, prevent abuse, and improve the platform.

Organizers may delete or archive event guides. Players may request deletion of their account or certain personal information by contacting us.

We may retain backup copies, logs, transaction records, or aggregated data for a reasonable period.

8. Your Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of certain personal information.

You can also:

• Update your account information;
• Choose whether to add a PDGA number;
• Choose whether to share scores with an Organizer when optional;
• Disable browser location permissions;
• Disable or limit cookies through browser settings;
• Unsubscribe from marketing emails, if any.

Service-related emails may still be sent when necessary for your account, event, security, billing, or support.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

11. Third-Party Services

The Service may use or link to third-party services, including payment processors, map providers, weather providers, analytics providers, email providers, PDGA websites, sponsor websites, and other tools.

Third-party services have their own privacy policies and practices. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
