Privacy Policy
Meta Caddie Effective Date: April 2026 Operated by: 1Putt Health
Overview
Meta Caddie is a golf caddie app for iPhone, Apple Watch, and Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
The short version: Your golf data stays on your device. We don't sell your data. We don't track you off the course.
Data We Collect
Data You Provide
- Profile information: Name, handicap, club distances, preferences
- Round data: Scores, shot locations, club selections, feedback
Data Collected Automatically
- GPS location: Used during your round to calculate distances to greens, hazards, and track shot positions. Location is only accessed while the app is in use — never in the background.
- Motion data (Apple Watch): Accelerometer data used to detect golf swings. Processed on-device and not transmitted.
- Camera frames (Ray-Ban Meta glasses): When you ask the caddie to assess your lie or course situation, a single camera frame is captured, analyzed by AI, and immediately discarded. We do not store, transmit, or retain camera images beyond the instant of analysis.
Data We Do NOT Collect
- We do not collect audio recordings of conversations
- We do not use facial recognition
- We do not track your location outside of active rounds
- We do not collect data from other players on the course
- We do not access your contacts, photos, or other personal data
