Before using our services, please read this Privacy Policy carefully and fully understand its contents. By starting to use our services, you acknowledge and agree to our handling of your relevant information as described in this policy.

1. How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information

We will collect and use your personal information based on the following purposes, adhering to the principle of minimum necessity:

1. Account Registration and Verification

   • To register as our user and enable us to provide you with core services, you need to provide your email address and set an account password to complete registration.
   • In accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and to ensure platform content security and interaction order, if you apply to enable the live streaming feature or become a content creator, you will be prompted to provide your real name, ID card number, and facial recognition information to complete real-name verification.

2. Core Business Functions

   • Golf Services: To provide you with services such as course search, booking, GPS ranging, swing recording and analysis, and score statistics, we will collect your precise location information, voluntarily uploaded swing videos or images, device information, and transaction records when you use the corresponding features. This information is essential for enabling these core functions.
   • Live Streaming and Content Publishing: When you use live streaming, post updates, photos, or videos to the community, we will collect the audio, video, text, and image content you publish, as well as interaction comments. This function requires your authorization to access your device's camera, microphone, and photo album.
   • Community and Social Interaction: To facilitate arranging games with friends, joining or creating teams, and participating in group chats, we will collect your group chat records, voluntarily filled-in profile information (e.g., handicap, home course), and your contacts list authorized for the purpose of matching and inviting friends (used solely for that purpose).

3. Operations and Security Assurance

   To ensure the secure, stable, and efficient operation of the software and services, and to prevent and address security risks such as fraud and network attacks, we collect your device information (e.g., device model, operating system, unique device identifier), IP address, and service log information.

4. Personalized Recommendations

   To recommend potentially interesting players, content, events, or advertisements to you, we may use algorithms based on your device information, location information, browsing, and click history. You can turn off the personalized recommendation function in [Me] - [Settings] - [Privacy Management], which will not affect your use of basic services.

We will not share your personal information with any company, organization, or individual, except in the following circumstances:

• With your explicit and separate consent.
• Necessary for functional implementation: For example, to complete course bookings or payments, we need to share your order information with partner golf courses or payment institutions; for message push notifications, we integrate third-party push service providers (see the Appendix "List of Third-Party SDKs" for details).
• Legal and regulatory requirements: As required by laws and regulations, for litigation dispute resolution, or upon the request of administrative or judicial authorities.
