Contact Tech SupportThe Terms of Service define the legally binding contract between NaviCaddie and its users. Drawing upon industry precedents set by established golf applications, this agreement establishes clear boundaries regarding user behavior, intellectual property rights, automated billing procedures, and limits of liability regarding GPS accuracy.
Welcome to NaviCaddie. This Terms of Service agreement (the "Agreement" or "Terms") governs the relationship between you (the "User") and NaviCaddie regarding your use of our mobile application, website, and related golf GPS and performance tracking services (collectively, the "Service"). By downloading, registering for an account, or otherwise accessing the Service, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you are strictly prohibited from utilizing the Service.
The Service is intended solely for individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age or the age of legal majority in their respective jurisdiction. By utilizing the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and possess the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract. If you are accessing the Service on behalf of a corporate entity or organization, you further represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to this Agreement.
To fully access the interactive and personalized features of the Service, you are required to create a user account. During the registration process, you must provide accurate, current, and complete information, including a valid email address and secure password. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
You agree to notify NaviCaddie immediately of any unauthorized use or suspected breach of security pertaining to your account. NaviCaddie cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these security obligations. We reserve the right to suspend, disable, or terminate any account if we reasonably suspect that the information provided is false, misleading, or if the account is being used in a manner that violates these Terms or applicable laws.
Subject to your continuous compliance with these Terms, NaviCaddie grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and use the Service solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes. This license permits you to utilize the application's GPS mapping, score tracking, and social features strictly as intended by the software's architecture.
This license is subject to stringent restrictions. You explicitly agree that you shall not, nor shall you authorize any third party to: reproduce, modify, translate, enhance, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or create derivative works based upon the Service; rent, lease, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the application; use any robot, spider, web scraper, or other automated means to access, monitor, or copy any content or data from the Service; bypass or circumvent any security protocols or access control mechanisms implemented by NaviCaddie; or use the Service in any manner that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper functioning of our servers or networks.
NaviCaddie offers both a free basic version and premium, subscription-based access to advanced features, such as enhanced AI club recommendations, detailed statistical analytics, and comprehensive course mapping. By selecting a premium subscription plan, you agree to the following financial terms:
| Subscription Parameter | Description and Legal Conditions |
|---|---|
| Billing and Auto-Renewal | Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) depending on the selected plan. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you affirmatively cancel it at least 24 hours prior to the renewal date. By subscribing, you expressly authorize recurring charges without requiring additional consent. |
| Payment Processing | All financial transactions are securely processed through third-party platforms, specifically the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. NaviCaddie does not directly collect, process, or store your credit card information. |
| Cancellations | You may cancel your subscription at any time by managing your account settings within the respective app store. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current paid billing period, and you will retain access to premium features until that date. |
| Refunds and Statutory Rights | Except as required by applicable law, all subscription fees are strictly non-refundable. However, if you are a consumer residing in the European Union or European Economic Area, you possess a statutory right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of the transaction date. Please note that by immediately accessing the digital content, you may waive this right of withdrawal under applicable distance selling regulations. |
The Service may feature community boards, review sections, and score-sharing functionalities that allow you to post, upload, or transmit content ("User Content"). You retain all ownership rights to your User Content. However, by submitting User Content to the Service, you grant NaviCaddie a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, and fully sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, and publicly display such content in any media format in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the Service.
You are solely responsible for your conduct and the content you submit. You agree not to post any material that is defamatory, obscene, abusive, invasive of privacy, infringing on intellectual property rights, or otherwise unlawful. NaviCaddie assumes no obligation to monitor User Content but reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to screen, edit, or remove any content that violates this Agreement or is deemed objectionable.
The Service is provided strictly on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, NaviCaddie disclaims all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
NaviCaddie utilizes GPS technology and third-party mapping data to calculate distances to the pin, hazards, and specific course coordinates. You acknowledge and agree that GPS measurements are inherently approximate and subject to inaccuracies caused by environmental factors, atmospheric conditions, mobile network limitations, and device hardware constraints. NaviCaddie does not warrant the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of any distance measurements, course layouts, or club recommendations. The Service should be used exclusively as an informational guide, and you must exercise independent judgment and situational awareness while traversing the golf course.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, under no circumstances shall NaviCaddie, its affiliates, directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages. This includes, but is not limited to, damages for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, or inability to use the Service. In no event shall NaviCaddie's total cumulative liability to you for all claims exceed the greater of one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00) or the total amount paid by you to NaviCaddie in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the claim.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NaviCaddie and its affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your breach of these Terms, your violation of any applicable law or the rights of a third party, or your submission of unlawful User Content.
Please read this section carefully as it significantly affects your legal rights. You and NaviCaddie agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in a court of law. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures.
Class Action Waiver: You and NaviCaddie agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative, or consolidated proceeding.
The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
The architectural structure of the NaviCaddie Privacy Policy aligns comprehensively with the stringent dictates of the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other global privacy frameworks. A focal point of this policy is the handling of precise geolocation. Under the CPRA, locating a user within a radius of 1,850 feet constitutes the processing of "Sensitive Personal Information". The policy satisfies the CPRA's "Notice at Collection" mandate by transparently linking data categories to specific operational purposes, while detailing the mechanisms through which users may exercise their right to limit the use of such sensitive data.
NaviCaddie ("we," "us," or "our") values the privacy and security of your personal data. This Privacy Policy serves as our comprehensive notice to consumers regarding how we collect, process, utilize, share, and protect your information when you access the NaviCaddie mobile application, website, and associated digital services (the "Services"). This document also operationalizes the "Notice at Collection" requirement under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
We adhere to the principles of data minimization and purpose limitation, ensuring that we only collect information reasonably necessary to provide and enhance our golf navigation and analytics services.
We gather information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with a particular consumer or device ("Personal Information"). In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have collected the following categories of Personal Information:
| CPRA Data Category | Types of Data Collected | Business Purpose for Collection | Retention Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Real name, email address, unique account username, IP address, and unique mobile device identifiers (Device ID). | Account creation, identity verification, customer support, and system security. | Retained while the account is active, plus legal statutory limits upon deletion. |
| Commercial Information | Records of premium subscriptions purchased, transaction history, and billing cycle preferences. | Processing payments via third-party app stores and managing auto-renewing subscriptions. | Retained for 7 years for tax and accounting compliance. |
| Internet / Electronic Activity | Browsing history within the app, interaction metrics, feature usage logs, and error diagnostic reports. | App performance debugging, algorithm enhancement, and providing personalized content. | Retained on a rolling 24-month basis. |
| Sensitive Personal Information | Precise Geolocation Data (tracking location within an 1,850-foot radius) and account login credentials. | Essential for mapping the golf course, measuring distances to hazards/pins, and executing the core functionality of the Service. | Retained only as long as necessary for the session or historical shot analytics. |
| Health and Biometric-Adjacent Data | Swing kinematics, step counts, and physical exertion metrics derived from device accelerometers. | Delivering comprehensive golf performance analytics and fitness tracking integrations. | Deleted upon user request or account termination. |
NaviCaddie collects the aforementioned data through three primary vectors:
NaviCaddie respects your data sovereignty. We do not sell your Personal Information for direct monetary compensation. However, to operate effectively, we may disclose your data to specific entities under strict contractual obligations:
Under the CPRA, "Precise Geolocation" is classified as Sensitive Personal Information (SPI) due to the privacy risks associated with tracking a consumer's exact physical movements.
Notice Regarding the Right to Limit Use of SPI: While the CPRA grants consumers the right to direct businesses to limit the use of SPI, CPRA Regulations Section 7027(m) provides explicit exemptions. Because the foundational premise of NaviCaddie is providing real-time distances on a golf course, the collection and processing of your precise geolocation data are absolutely necessary to perform the services reasonably expected by you as a consumer. Therefore, while we employ geolocation to power the application, we do not use this sensitive data to build behavioral profiles outside the context of the golf application, nor do we sell your geolocation data to third-party data brokers.
Regardless of your global location, we strive to afford you comprehensive control over your data. If you are a resident of California or the European Economic Area (EEA), you are guaranteed the following statutory rights:
Methods for Exercising Your Rights: To execute a privacy request, you may submit a verifiable consumer request by emailing our Data Protection Officer at privacy@NaviCaddie.com or utilizing the "Privacy Center" portal within the application's settings menu. We are legally obligated to confirm receipt within 10 days and fulfill standard requests within 45 calendar days. Requests to opt-out of sharing will be honored within 15 business days.
The NaviCaddie application is fundamentally designed for a general adult audience. We do not intentionally or knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 13 (or 16 in specific European jurisdictions) without affirmative opt-in consent from a parent or legal guardian. Should we discover that data from a minor has been unlawfully collected, we will initiate immediate data destruction protocols.
The deployment of cookies and tracking algorithms requires separate documentation to satisfy European ePrivacy Directives and the California Privacy Rights Act. Given the recent enforcement sweeps targeting websites failing to honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals, this policy explicitly recognizes the integration of GPC to intercept opt-out requests at the browser level.
Cookies are diminutive text files downloaded to your computer or mobile device's cache when you interact with the NaviCaddie web ecosystem. Alongside web beacons, pixels, and mobile SDKs, these tracking technologies facilitate the recognition of your device across sessions, enable secure authentication, and generate granular analytical data regarding user engagement patterns.
NaviCaddie deploys distinct categories of cookies, each governed by different legal operational parameters:
| Cookie Category | Function and Operational Mechanism | Consent Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary (Essential) | Imperative for the core functionality of the platform. These facilitate secure login architecture, load balancing, and the preservation of subscription status across server interactions. | Consent not required; cannot be disabled. |
| Performance and Analytics | Aggregates anonymized data regarding site traffic, latency metrics, and user journey bottlenecks. Deployed via third-party providers such as Google Analytics to enhance infrastructure efficiency. | Requires opt-in consent (GDPR) or subject to opt-out (CPRA). |
| Functional / Preferences | Memorizes user-specific interface modifications, such as localization settings, language preferences, and unit of measurement selections (Yards vs. Meters). | Subject to user preference management. |
| Targeting and Behavioral Advertising | Placed by our advertising consortium partners. These cookies build a profile of your interests based on cross-site browsing history to present highly targeted promotional content elsewhere on the internet. | High regulatory scrutiny. Strict opt-out mechanism required. |
