1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Joshua Hewlett, a sole proprietor operating as Fairway Friends, may collect, use, and protect information in connection with its Phoenix-area early-access pilot (the “Service”). It applies to the website and any pilot matching and messaging services.
2. Information We Collect
The website itself has no signup form and does not ask you to submit personal information. If you join a pilot signup or matching flow made available separately, we may collect your name, phone number, email address, golf experience and preferences, preferred courses, availability, invitation and response details, SMS opt-in and consent records, and other information needed to make and coordinate matches. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may process request data such as IP address, browser details, and access times when you visit the website.
3. How We Use Information
We may use information to operate and improve the pilot, identify potential playing partners, coordinate introductions and rounds, send SMS confirmations and reminders when you have consented, respond to support requests, understand demand, and maintain consent and service records. We will use information only for purposes related to the Service or as otherwise permitted by law.
4. SMS Consent and Mobile Information
We will not sell or share your mobile phone number or other mobile information with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes. SMS opt-in information and consent records will not be shared with unrelated third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. We may share information with service providers, including Telnyx and telecommunications carriers, only as necessary to deliver messages and operate the messaging service.
SMS opt-in information and consent records will not be shared with unrelated third parties for any other purpose. Service providers may process this information only as needed to provide messaging and related service operations on our behalf.
5. Sharing With Golfers
To help golfers decide whether to connect, we may share your first name, golf experience and preferences, preferred courses, availability, and other ability or scheduling preferences relevant to a potential match. We will not share your phone number with another golfer unless you give separate permission to share it. We do not sell personal information.
6. Storage and Security
We use reasonable measures intended to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No website, messaging service, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. The specific systems and safeguards used for the pilot may change as the Service develops.
7. Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably needed to operate the pilot, coordinate matches, honor communication preferences, maintain consent records, resolve issues, and meet applicable legal requirements. We may delete or de-identify information when it is no longer needed for these purposes.
8. Your Choices
You may opt out of pilot text messages at any time by replying STOP. For access, correction, or deletion requests, contact Joshua Hewlett at support@fairwayfriendsphx.com. We may need to retain limited information where required to honor opt-out requests, preserve consent history, or comply with law.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the pilot develops. If we make material changes after publication, we will update this page and the effective date.
