What the app stores, and where

• Your games: the players’ names, the seating order, and for each hole everyone’s cards or typed total, who dealt, along with dates and play time.
• Your settings: the appearance (dark, light or automatic), your list of regulars, and the first name you type to share a game.

This information is stored only in the app, on your iPhone. It is never sent to the developer or to anyone else.

iPhone backups

As with every app, Front Nine data may be included in your iPhone backups (iCloud or computer), depending on your settings. These backups are managed by Apple and by you; the developer has no access to them.

Lock Screen and Dynamic Island

During a game, the app shows the hole, the dealer, play time, the leader and the totals on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island (Live Activities). This display is created and updated by the app, on the iPhone: no server, no notification sent over the Internet.

It can be seen without unlocking the iPhone: names and totals of the game in progress. You can turn it off in Settings › Front Nine › Live Activities.

Sharing a game

“Share game” turns a finished game into a QR code and a link, created on the iPhone. They contain the game (players’ names, scores, dates) and the first name you type, which replaces “You”. Whoever scans the code or receives the link can read the game. The link goes only where you send it (Messages, Mail…): it passes through no server of the developer, and nothing is stored online.

Sharing a profile

The share button on a player profile creates an image of the profile on the iPhone and opens the iOS share sheet: you choose where to send it. If you save it to Photos, iOS first asks your permission to add an image; the app never reads your photos.

Purchases

If you make a purchase in the app, payment is handled entirely by Apple. The developer receives neither your contact details nor your payment information.

Third-party services

None. The app includes no advertising, analytics or tracking tool, and no external service.

Deleting your data

• In the app, Settings › Reset the app erases all games, the leaderboard and your regulars.
• Deleting the app from your iPhone erases everything it contains.

Children

The app is suitable for all ages. Since it collects nothing, no child’s data is processed.

Your rights

The developer holds no data about you: there is nothing to access, correct or delete on their side. You stay in control of everything the app contains.

Changes

If this policy changes, for example if syncing between devices is added, this page will be updated and its date changed.
