Privacy Policy

This policy explains what Golden Point ("the app", "we", "us") does with information when you use it. We've written it to describe how the app actually works, not to cover ourselves for things it doesn't do.

01Who this applies to

This policy applies to the Golden Point app for Apple Watch and to this website. It does not apply to Apple's own services (such as the App Store, iCloud or Apple Health), which are governed by Apple's privacy policy.

02Information we collect

Golden Point is a standalone watchOS app with no companion phone app and no online account. The information it works with is the information you create by scoring matches, and it stays on your watch. Specifically:

• Match data — the points, games, sets, format and rules of matches you score, plus start and end times and match duration.
• Statistics derived from your matches — win ratios, weekly and 30-day trends, and recent form, all calculated on your watch from the match data above.
• App settings — your chosen match format, deuce and tiebreak rules, haptic intensity and workout preference.

This data is created and stored locally on your Apple Watch. We never receive it, because the app has no way to send it to us.

03What we don't collect

We want to be specific here, because it's unusual. Golden Point does not:

• require an account, email address, or sign-in of any kind;
• contain any analytics, advertising, tracking or crash-reporting SDKs;
• make any network requests — the app has no servers to talk to;
• collect your name, location, contacts, or device identifiers for advertising;
• sell, rent or share personal data with third parties (we have none to share).

04Where your data is stored

Completed matches are stored on-device using Apple's SwiftData framework. The match currently in progress is saved continuously to a private app-group container so it can be restored if your watch restarts mid-game. All of this lives in the app's protected storage on your Apple Watch.

If you have iCloud backups enabled for your Apple Watch, this on-device data may be included in your encrypted Apple backup, handled entirely by Apple under their terms. We have no access to those backups.

05Apple Health & workouts

Golden Point can optionally record your match as an indoor "Padel" workout in Apple Health. This feature is off until you turn it on in Settings, and the app asks for your permission the first time it's used.

• When enabled, the app starts a workout session and writes the workout to Apple Health on your device. It may also read workout data to keep the session active on your wrist.
• This information is managed by Apple Health and stays on your device under your control. We never see it.
• If you decline Health access, scoring and every other feature still work fully — you simply won't get the workout recording.

You can review or revoke Health permissions at any time in the Apple Health app or your watch's privacy settings.

06Sharing and disclosure

Because we don't collect or receive your data, there is nothing for us to share, sell or disclose — to advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else. We would only ever disclose information if legally compelled to, and in practice we hold none to disclose.

07Your choices and control

• Delete history — "Reset Stats" in Settings deletes all saved match history from your watch.
• Delete individual matches — swipe to delete any match in History.
• Remove everything — deleting the app removes all of its local data from your watch.
• Manage Health data — control workout permissions and recorded workouts in Apple Health.

08Children's privacy

Golden Point is a general-audience sports app and is not directed at children under 13. Because the app collects no personal information and transmits nothing off the device, it does not knowingly gather data from anyone, including children.

09Changes to this policy

If the app changes in a way that affects this policy — for example if a future version adds an optional online feature — we'll update this page and revise the "last updated" date above. Material changes will be described clearly rather than buried.
