US Bropen is a private app for one annual golf trip. It's run by the trip's organizers, not a company,
and it doesn't sell, share or advertise with your information.
What the app stores
- Account: your email address and password. Passwords are stored hashed (one-way) by our database
provider, so no one can read them. Your email is visible only to you and the trip's organizers, never to other players.
- Profile: your name, an optional profile photo, and optional Venmo, Cash App or Zelle details you choose to show other players.
- Golf: the handicap rounds you enter or import, your event scores, mulligans and team.
- Trip: votes, buy-in payments and shared trip costs you or the organizers record.
Everyone signed in to the app can see the rest of this information (not your email), because it's what the leaderboards, scorecards and
settle-up screens show. People who aren't signed in can't see it, except for these public pages:
- Live leaderboard (live.us-bropen.com): each player's first name and last initial, scores and
scorecards, and, when you track them, tee shots, putts, drives and mulligans, plus drinks logged with the drink counter
and the reactions and comments players leave on scores (shown with the author's first name and last initial).
- us-bropen.com: the event's dates and place, how many have signed up, the rules, the trip schedule
(times and names, not addresses), the Roll of Honor (champions and Bums by name) and photos the organizers star.
No emails, phone numbers, handicaps, payment details or money are ever public.
What stays on your phone
- Location: used while you have the GPS screen open, to show yardages. That isn't sent to us or stored. If you turn on Share my location in Where's everyone, your latest spot is shared with the other players while the app is open on event days. Only the most recent spot is kept, and turning sharing off deletes it.
- Receipt photos: if you attach a receipt to a shared cost, it's stored privately for the group and deleted once everyone has paid for it.
- Scorecard screenshots: read on your phone to import rounds. The images are never uploaded.
- A copy of the latest data, so the app opens quickly. Signing out removes it.
Who processes it
Crash and speed reports
About once a day, iOS gives the app a report of any crashes, freezes and slow launches on your phone (Apple's
MetricKit). The app sends those reports to us so we can fix them. They contain technical details only (the app and iOS
version, the phone model and where the app was stuck), never your name, account or anything you entered.
Data is stored with Supabase (database, sign-in and photos).
The account pages run on Vercel. Course search uses
OpenGolfAPI and water lookups use OpenStreetMap; those requests contain a course name or map area, not your information.
The app has no ads, analytics or tracking.
Deleting your data
In the app, open your profile and tap Delete account. That permanently removes your account, profile,
photo, rounds, scores and votes. You can also ask usbropenadmin@gmail.com to do it for you.
