Bogeo — Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 28, 2026
This policy explains what data Bogeo ("the app") handles. The app is published by Yabin Alejandro Lagunes Cuevas, trading as The Alchemist Code ("we"), who is responsible for your data. Contact: [email protected].
The short version
- There is no account. We never ask for your name, email or password.
- The courses you add, your rounds, every hole you score and your settings are stored only on your device. We do not upload them anywhere and we don't run a server that stores scores.
- The app does not use your location, contacts, camera, photos or microphone.
- The app shows ads only on the Statistics and History screens, and uses analytics and crash reporting. Those services, run by Google, collect some technical data, described below.
Data stored on your device
The courses and tees you add (name, course rating, slope, par and stroke index), your rounds with the score of every hole (and, if you record them, putts, fairways and greens), the estimated handicap the app calculates from them, and your settings. They stay on your phone.
- Estimated handicap: the app calculates it on your phone with the standard formula. It is not an official handicap and is not sent to any golf association.
- CSV export and backup file: the app creates them only when you ask. You decide where to save them and who to share them with. We never receive them.
- Android backup: if backup to your Google account is turned on in your phone's settings, Android may include the app's data in your device backup so it comes back when you move to a new phone. Android makes that backup and stores it encrypted in your Google account. We have no access to it.
You can erase everything at any time in Settings › Delete all my data. Uninstalling the app also removes it from the phone.
Data collected by third-party services
| Service | What it collects | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob (ads) | IP address (used to estimate approximate location), Android advertising ID and app set ID, interactions with ads and the app, performance diagnostics | Showing ads, measuring them, preventing fraud |
| Google Analytics for Firebase | App-instance ID, advertising ID, approximate location derived from a masked IP address, screen views, sessions and purchase events | Understanding how the app is used |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Crash stack traces, device metadata at the time of a crash, app state, an installation identifier | Finding and fixing crashes |
| Firebase Remote Config | Country, language, time zone, OS and app version | Adjusting app settings remotely |
| Google Play Billing | Payment details and your purchase | Processing your Premium subscription or one-time purchase (we never see your card) |
None of these services receives your courses, your rounds or your scores. All of this data is encrypted in transit. Each provider handles it under its own privacy policy:
- Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- How Google uses data from apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Your choices
- Ad personalization (EEA, UK, Switzerland): the app asks for your consent before showing personalized ads, and you can change your choice anytime in Settings › Ad privacy options.
- Advertising ID: you can reset or delete it in your Android settings under Privacy › Ads.
- Notifications: the app only sends one, the reminder five days before each renewal if you take out a subscription, and it asks for the permission only then. You can deny it and still use everything, or revoke it anytime in your phone's settings.
- Premium removes all ads.
Your rights
You can ask us about your data or to delete it by writing to [email protected]. Because the app has no account and your data stays on your phone, we hold nothing that identifies you; deleting your data in the app removes it for good.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with an updated date.
