Privacy Policy
This Privacy Notice describes how and why we may access, collect, store, use, and/or share (“process”) your personal information when you use our services (“Services”), including when you:
- Use the Golf Unlocked mobile application (the “App”);
- Visit any website of ours that links to this Privacy Notice; or
- Engage with us in other related ways, including support requests.
Golf Unlocked is a consumer golf swing–analysis application. You record or upload a video of your golf swing, and the App uses computer vision and machine learning to estimate body position, detect swing events (address, top of backswing, impact, finish), track the club, and compute measurements such as tempo, posture angles, head movement, and estimated clubhead speed. It then flags likely swing issues and suggests practice drills. The App is a training aid for recreational golfers. It is not coaching, medical, physical-therapy, or fitness-prescription advice.
Questions or concerns? Reading this Privacy Notice will help you understand your privacy rights and choices. We are responsible for making decisions about how your personal information is processed. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Services. If you still have questions, contact us at team@yanno.ai.
SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS
What personal information do we process? Account information (email address), the swing videos you submit, the body-motion measurements derived from them, and technical information about your device and use of the App.
Do we process sensitive personal information? We process video of your body and derive skeletal motion data from it. We do not use this to identify you, we do not perform facial recognition, and we do not create a biometric identifier or template. See Section 13, which we encourage you to read in full.
Do we collect information from third parties? No.
How do we process your information? To provide, improve, and administer the Services, to communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law.
Do we train AI models on your content? No. Your raw video is deleted immediately after processing and is never added to a training dataset. See Section 5.
How do we keep your information safe? Through organizational and technical measures. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee it.
What are your rights? Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of your personal information. You can delete your entire account and all associated data from inside the App at any time.

1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
Personal information you disclose to us
In Short: We collect personal information that you provide to us.
The personal information we collect may include:
- email address (used as your account identifier and login);
- authentication data (password credentials, managed by our authentication provider — we never see or store your password in readable form);
- golf swing videos you record or upload, which contain images of you and may contain images of your surroundings and of other people who happen to be in frame;
- optional information you attach to a swing, such as the club used, the camera view, and shot outcome tags (for example “draw”, “fade”, “thin”);
- support communications and inquiries;
- account preferences and settings.
Information derived from your videos
When you submit a swing, we generate and store numeric measurements derived from the video. These include body-landmark coordinates over time (skeletal pose), swing event timings, posture and joint angles, head movement, stance geometry, club path and estimated clubhead speed, and the swing issues our detectors flag. We also store a short annotated overlay video — a rendered clip showing your swing with graphics drawn over it.
Information automatically collected
In Short: Some technical information is collected automatically when you use the Services.
- Log and usage data. Service-related, diagnostic, and performance information our servers record, such as IP address, timestamps, request outcomes, processing duration, and error reports.
- Device data. Information about the device you use to access the Services, such as device model, operating system version, and application version.
- Processing metadata. Information generated while analyzing a swing, including video properties (duration, frame rate, resolution), detection confidence scores, and whether processing succeeded or failed. This is used to operate the Service and debug issues.
We do not collect precise geolocation, contacts, health-app data, advertising identifiers, or browsing history from other apps or sites.
Device permissions
The App asks for the following permissions. Each is optional and you can decline or revoke it in your device settings, though declining will limit the relevant feature:
- Photo library — so you can choose an existing swing video to analyze. We access only the file you select.
- Camera — only if you choose to record a swing directly in the App.
- Microphone — video recorded in-app may include audio captured by the device. Audio is not analyzed and is discarded with the raw video.
Payment data
The App does not currently process payments, and we do not collect payment card information. If we introduce paid features in the future, we will update this Notice before doing so, and any card data will be handled by a PCI-compliant payment processor or by the Apple App Store / Google Play billing systems, not by us.
Other than as described in Section 13, we do not process sensitive personal information.
2. HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: To provide, improve, and administer the Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law.
- To create and manage your account and authenticate you.
- To analyze your swing and deliver results — the core function of the Service.
- To show your history and trends across sessions.
- To respond to your inquiries and provide support.
- To send administrative information, such as changes to our terms or policies, and password-reset emails you request.
- To protect the Services, including abuse monitoring, rate limiting, and enforcing usage quotas.
- To evaluate and improve the Services using aggregate, non-identifying operational metrics such as failure rates and processing times.
- To comply with legal obligations and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
We do not sell your personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or use it for targeted advertising or for profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
3. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In Short: We share information only with service providers who help us run the Service, and in the limited legal situations described below.
We may share data with third-party vendors and service providers who perform services for us and require access to do that work. They are bound by contract, may use the information only as we instruct, and may not use it for their own purposes. The categories are:
- Cloud computing and hosting providers
- Data storage providers
- User account registration and authentication services
- Performance and error monitoring tools
- Email delivery providers (for account emails such as password resets)
- Legal and professional advisors
We may also share your information:
- To comply with law, or in response to a valid legal request, subpoena, or court order, or where necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
- Business transfers. In connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business. We will provide notice before your information becomes subject to a materially different privacy policy.
4. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
The Golf Unlocked mobile app does not use cookies, advertising identifiers, or third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. It stores a small amount of data locally on your device (such as your login session and any swings queued while you were offline).
Our public web pages, including this one, are served as static documents and do not set tracking cookies.
5. DO WE OFFER ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-BASED PRODUCTS?
In Short: Yes — the analysis itself is powered by machine learning models we operate. We do not train those models on your content.
The Service uses computer vision and machine learning models to estimate body pose, classify swing events, and track the club. These models run on infrastructure we control.
We do not train on your data
We do not use your swing videos, your derived body-motion data, your overlay clips, or your measurements to train, fine-tune, or evaluate our models. This is not merely a policy commitment: your raw video is deleted from our systems as soon as analysis finishes, so it is not technically available to be added to a training dataset.
Our models are trained on separately sourced and synthetically generated data. If we ever wish to train on user-submitted content, we will change this Notice, tell you clearly, and obtain your opt-in consent first. We will not do so on an opt-out basis.
Third-party AI providers
We do not send your videos or personal information to general-purpose third-party AI services (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini) for processing.
Accuracy
Measurements are estimates produced by automated systems from ordinary video. They are affected by camera angle, frame rate, lighting, and framing, and they will sometimes be wrong. See our Terms of Service for the accuracy disclaimer that governs your use of these results.
6. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SWING VIDEOS?
This is the most sensitive information you give us, so we want to be precise about its lifecycle:
- You select or record a video in the App. It is transmitted to our analysis service over an encrypted connection.
- The analysis service writes the video to a temporary working directory, processes it, and then deletes the entire working directory, including your raw video, immediately when processing finishes — whether it succeeded or failed.
- Your raw video is never written to our long-term storage and is not accessible to us afterwards. We cannot retrieve it, and neither can anyone else.
- What is retained is: (a) the rendered overlay clip, stored in our cloud storage and reachable only by your account through short-lived signed links; and (b) the numeric measurements for that swing, stored in our database under your user ID.
- Overlay clips and their session records are automatically deleted after 90 days, unless you star a swing to keep it.
Because the overlay clip is rendered from your video, it contains your image. Treat it as you would the original.
7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
- Raw swing video: deleted immediately after processing. Not retained.
- Overlay clips and swing measurements: 90 days, unless you star the swing, in which case they are kept until you delete them or close your account.
- Account information: for as long as your account is open.
- Operational logs: a short rolling window for debugging and security.
No purpose in this Notice will require us to keep your personal information for longer than twenty-four (24) months past the termination of your account. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete or anonymize it, or, if that is not immediately possible (for example because it sits in a backup archive), securely store it and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.
8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures, including encryption in transit, authentication on every request that touches your data, access rules that prevent one account from reading another’s data, and short-lived signed links for overlay clips rather than public URLs.
However, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not defeat our security and improperly access your information. Transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk.
9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In Short: The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
The Services are intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 13 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal information. If you are under 18, you may use the Services only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who should review this Notice with you — particularly Section 13, because the Service processes video of your body.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete that data from our records. If you believe we may have collected information from a child under 13, contact us at team@yanno.ai and we will act promptly.
10. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.
Withdrawing your consent. If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw it at any time by contacting us using the details in Section 21, or by deleting your account. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Account information. You can review or change your account information in the App at any time. To permanently delete your account and all associated data, use Settings → Delete my account in the App, or email team@yanno.ai.
Marketing. We do not currently send marketing email. If we begin to, every such message will include an unsubscribe link. Service messages necessary to administer your account (such as password resets) will continue regardless.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, email team@yanno.ai.
11. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. We do not track you across third-party websites or apps, so we have no cross-site tracking to disable. If a standard is adopted that we must follow, we will describe it in a revised version of this Notice. California law requires us to state how we respond to DNT signals: because there is currently no recognized standard, we do not respond to them at this time.
12. DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information.
Categories of personal information we collect

We have not sold or shared any personal information to third parties for a business or commercial purpose in the preceding twelve (12) months. We have disclosed personal information to service providers as described in Section 3.
We may use your personal information for our own internal business purposes, such as technical development and debugging. This is not considered “selling.”
Your rights
These rights are not absolute, and in certain cases we may decline a request as permitted by law:
- Right to know whether we are processing your personal data
- Right to access your personal data
- Right to correct inaccuracies in your personal data
- Right to request deletion of your personal data
- Right to obtain a copy of the personal data you previously shared with us
- Right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights
- Right to opt out of processing for targeted advertising, sale of personal data, or profiling producing legal or similarly significant effects — we do none of these
- Right to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal data (as permitted by applicable law, including California)
How to exercise your rights
Email team@yanno.ai, or use Settings → Delete my account in the App for deletion. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf; we may deny a request from an agent who does not submit proof of valid authorization.
Request verification
We will need to verify your identity before acting on your request, ordinarily by confirming control of the email address associated with the account. We will use information provided in your request only to verify your identity.
Appeals
If we decline to act on your request, you may appeal by emailing team@yanno.ai. We will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken, with reasons. If your appeal is denied, you may submit a complaint to your state attorney general.
California “Shine The Light” law
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request information about categories of personal information we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
13. BODY-MOTION DATA AND BIOMETRIC CONSIDERATIONS
This section describes the most personal data the Service handles, and we want to be direct about it.
To analyze a golf swing, the Service processes video of your body and derives skeletal motion data — the estimated positions of body landmarks (shoulders, hips, wrists, knees, ankles, and similar) in each frame, and the angles and movements computed from them.
What we do with it: we use it solely to measure your golf swing and produce your results, trends, and drill suggestions.
What we do not do with it:
- We do not use it to identify or recognize you.
- We do not perform facial recognition, face matching, or face-geometry analysis. Facial features are not measured, extracted, or stored.
- We do not create, store, or use a biometric identifier or biometric template capable of identifying an individual.
- We do not use it to infer health conditions, medical status, or fitness levels beyond golf-swing mechanics.
- We do not sell it, share it for advertising, or use it to train our models.
Some privacy laws define “biometric information” broadly enough to include gait patterns or exercise data that contains identifying information. We have therefore chosen to treat your video and derived body-motion data with heightened protection regardless of how it is ultimately classified: it is bound to your account, never used for identification, never used for training, deleted (in the case of raw video) immediately after processing, and fully deletable by you at any time. If you are in a jurisdiction with a specific biometric privacy statute and wish to exercise rights under it, contact privacy@yanno.ai.
14. OTHER PEOPLE APPEARING IN YOUR VIDEOS
A swing video may capture other people in the background — at a range, on a course, or at home. We process such incidental footage only as necessary to deliver the analysis you requested, we do not attempt to detect, identify, profile, or contact anyone appearing in your video, and the raw video (and therefore their image) is deleted immediately after processing.
You are responsible for having any permission required to record and upload video containing other identifiable people, and for complying with the rules of the facility where you record. Please do not upload video of other people who have not agreed to be recorded, and take particular care with video containing children other than your own.
If you believe your image appears in content submitted by another user and you have concerns, contact privacy@yanno.ai. Note that because raw video is deleted immediately after processing, in most cases no footage of you will exist on our systems; a retained overlay clip belongs to the account that created it, and we may need to direct your request to that user.
15. OUR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
Doty Studio LLC develops and operates the models that power the Service. Analysis runs on cloud infrastructure we control. Infrastructure providers process your content only as necessary to operate that infrastructure, under contractual obligations that prohibit them from using it for any other purpose.
16. SUBPROCESSOR LIST
We use Google LLC (Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage, and Google Cloud Run) for authentication, data storage, and running our analysis service. A current list of material subprocessors is available on request to team@yanno.ai. We may add, change, or remove subprocessors as our operational needs evolve.
17. SECURITY INCIDENT NOTIFICATION
In the event of a confirmed security incident affecting your personal information, we will notify affected users without undue delay and in any event within seventy-two (72) hours of confirming the incident, except where notice is prohibited by law or law enforcement or would compromise an ongoing investigation. Notification will be sent to the email address associated with your account and will include, to the extent known: the nature of the incident, the categories of information affected, the steps we have taken, and recommended actions you may take.
18. ACCOUNT CANCELLATION AND DATA DELETION
To delete your account and your data, you may:
- Use Settings → Delete my account in the App; or
- Email team@yanno.ai from the address associated with the account.
Deleting your account removes your authentication record, every swing session record, and every overlay clip associated with your account. Because raw video was never retained, there is no raw video to delete. We will complete deletion from active systems within thirty (30) days, subject to removal from backups within a further ninety (90) days and to any retention required to comply with legal, accounting, or dispute-resolution obligations.
You may also delete an individual swing at any time from your history without deleting your account.
19. MODIFICATIONS TO OUR MODELS
We continuously improve the Service. From time to time we may release new model versions or change the technology underlying the analysis. Such updates may change the measurements produced for a given swing, and results computed by different versions may not be directly comparable. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to give notice of material changes, but routine improvements may occur without prior notice.
20. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?
In Short: Yes, we will update this notice as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.
The updated version will be indicated by an updated date at the top of this Notice. If we make material changes, we may notify you by prominently posting a notice or by sending you a direct notification. We encourage you to review this Notice periodically.
