GOLF KINDA
Privacy Policy.
Updated 14 October 2026
About this policy
This Privacy Policy describes the handling of information in Golf Kinda, provided by Richard Hopfe under the Games Kinda name ("we", "us" or "our"). It applies to the current version of the game. Privacy enquiries may be directed to support@gameskinda.com.
Information stored on your device
Golf Kinda stores game progress, ball and shot state, lifetime gameplay statistics, tutorial preferences and activity timestamps, promotional and celebration state, and audio preferences locally on your device. This information is used to resume play, display personal statistics, provide contextual coaching, remember settings and avoid repeating completed experiences. The game does not send this information to a Games Kinda server. This version does not publish scores to an online leaderboard.
Purchases and Apple services
The optional full-game purchase is processed by Apple through the App Store and StoreKit. The game requests product details and uses Apple-verified transaction and entitlement information on the device to determine whether the full game is available, including restored or family-shared purchases and revoked entitlements. We do not receive your payment card details or Apple Account password through the game. Apple processes purchase and account information under its own terms and privacy policy, available at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/. Apple may provide developers with sales reports and diagnostic information in accordance with its services and your device settings. We do not operate a separate receipt-validation server.
iCloud saves and Game Center achievements
On supported Apple devices, cloud saving uses the private database in your iCloud account to store your journey progress, current shot, gameplay statistics, achievement progress, seasons completed and tutorial/activity metadata. These records support continuation across your devices. Audio preferences and purchase entitlements are not included. The game stores an account-specific identifier locally to detect account changes and asks before replacing conflicting journeys. You can pause cloud saving in the Cloud saves menu; offline play remains available. Game Center, when signed in, receives achievement identifiers and completion percentages and supplies your game-specific player identifier to associate progress with the correct player. Achievement visibility is governed by your Apple Games and Game Center privacy settings. Apple operates these services under its own terms and privacy practices. We do not operate a Games Kinda gameplay server or use this information for advertising.
Advertising, tracking and permissions
Golf Kinda contains no third-party advertising or developer-operated analytics SDK. We do not use the game to track you across other companies’ apps or websites, and do not sell or rent personal information. The game does not request access to your contacts, precise location, camera, microphone or photo library. The procedural coach runs on your device and does not send prompts or gameplay to an online AI service.
Support correspondence
If you choose to contact us, we receive the email address, message and any attachments you provide. We use this information to respond to enquiries, resolve problems and maintain relevant support records. Please avoid including sensitive information that is unnecessary for your enquiry. Email providers process correspondence as needed to deliver, host and secure email. We retain support correspondence only for as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes, or to meet applicable legal obligations or resolve disputes. We may disclose information where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect legal rights.
Retention and deletion
Local game information remains on the device until it is removed by the game, by you or by the operating system. Deleting the app and its data removes its local files; offloading the app may retain them. Copies may remain in device or cloud backups managed through your operating-system settings. Pausing cloud saving or deleting the app does not itself delete the private iCloud save or Game Center achievements. Manage iCloud app data and Game Center settings through Apple’s account and device controls. A local recovery copy is retained when you choose a different cloud journey. Resetting journey progress does not reset earned achievements. Deleting local data does not cancel an Apple purchase or erase Apple’s transaction records. Purchase and account enquiries should be directed to Apple where Apple controls that information.
Children
Golf Kinda is suitable for a general audience and does not require a Games Kinda account. Apple account, family and parental controls govern access to iCloud and Game Center; the game does not ask children to provide a name, email address or date of birth. A parent or guardian who believes a child has supplied personal information to us through support may contact us to request its removal, subject to applicable law.
Security, providers and your rights
We use reasonable measures appropriate to the limited information we handle, but no method of storage or communication is completely secure. Apple and email service providers may process information in countries other than your own under their respective privacy practices. Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information we hold, object to or restrict its use, or raise a complaint with a privacy regulator. Contact support@gameskinda.com to make an enquiry or request. We may need information sufficient to verify and respond to your request; we cannot retrieve local game files that have never been sent to us.
External links and changes
The game may open Games Kinda’s website or other clearly identified links in your browser at your request. Your browser and website providers handle information under their own applicable privacy practices; visiting a website is separate from offline gameplay. We may update this policy if the game or our practices change. The revised policy will carry an updated date, and additional notice or consent will be provided where required by applicable law.
