Fore ("Fore," "we," "us," or "our") is a golf scorecard, GPS, and side-game tracking app operated by FrontMattr LLC. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Fore iOS app collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using Fore, you agree to the practices described here.
If you have any questions, contact us at support@getforeapp.com.
1. Information we collect
Account & identity
Fore uses Sign in with Apple to create and secure your account. Depending on what you choose to share, we receive your name and either your email address or Apple's private relay address. We use this to authenticate you and sync your data across your devices.
Profile information
- A display name you set for yourself and your playing partners.
- A sharing email so friends can find you and share rounds and bets with you.
- An optional profile photo (avatar) you upload.
Golf activity
The core content you create in the app, including your rounds, hole-by-hole scores, statistics, handicap, your bag of clubs, and side games and settle-up records (Skins, Nassau, Wolf, and side bets). This data is stored on your device and synced to the cloud so it's available across your devices and can be shared with players you invite.
Location
With your permission, Fore uses your device's precise location while you are actively using the app to calculate distances to the green and hazards and to power caddie club recommendations. Fore does not track your location in the background, and we do not sell or share your location data for advertising. You can revoke location access at any time in iOS Settings → Fore → Location.
Shared rounds
When you share a round or bet with another player, Fore sends a snapshot of that round to the people you share it with. By design, this snapshot contains only what's needed to show the game and settle up - it excludes your detailed shot data (such as putts, fairways, greens in regulation, penalties, and individual shots).
Subscriptions & purchases
Fore offers an optional Fore Pro subscription. Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store - we never receive or store your payment card details. We use RevenueCat to manage subscription status and entitlements; RevenueCat receives a pseudonymous account identifier and your purchase/receipt information so we can unlock Pro features on your account and across your devices. See "Who we share data with" below.
Diagnostic & technical data
We may collect limited technical information such as error logs and basic device information to keep the app reliable and diagnose problems.
2. How we use your information
- To provide the app's core features - scoring, stats, GPS distances, caddie recommendations, and side games.
- To authenticate you and sync your data across your devices.
- To let you share rounds and bets with players you choose.
- To provide and manage the Fore Pro subscription and unlock Pro features.
- To respond to your support requests.
- To maintain the security, reliability, and performance of the app.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
3. Who we share data with
We share data only with the service providers that make Fore work, and only as needed to provide the app:
- Apple - Sign in with Apple (authentication) and the App Store (subscription payments and receipt validation).
- Supabase - our cloud backend, which stores your account, golf data, and avatar so they can sync and be shared.
- RevenueCat - manages your subscription entitlements and provides us with aggregate subscription analytics.
- Golf course data provider - we query a third-party golf course database to retrieve course details (pars, layouts, and distances).
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users or FrontMattr LLC.
4. Data storage & security
Your data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) and stored on our cloud provider's infrastructure. Your golf data is also kept locally on your device. We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
5. Data retention & deletion
We keep your information for as long as your account is active. You are in control of your data:
- Sign out keeps your data safe in the cloud and on your device - it comes back when you sign in again.
- Delete Account (Profile → Delete Account) permanently deletes your account and associated data and cannot be undone.
Note: deleting your Fore account does not cancel your Apple subscription. Manage or cancel a subscription any time in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Apple manages subscription billing and cancellations.
6. Subscription terms
Fore Pro is an auto-renewable subscription billed through your Apple ID. Payment is charged at confirmation of purchase. A subscription automatically renews at the end of each period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. Use of Fore Pro is also governed by Apple's standard Terms of Use (EULA).
7. Children's privacy
Fore is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information. You can access and edit most of your data directly in the app, delete your account at any time, or contact us at support@getforeapp.com to make a request.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes may be communicated in the app or on this page.
