Privacy
Your video never leaves your phone.
It is analyzed on the device and deleted straight after. This page is the long version of that sentence.
- Your swing video
- Never uploaded. Analyzed on your phone, then deleted.
- Your name, email, and account
- Never asked for. Albie has no sign-in.
- About thirty numbers per swing
- Sent, so the advice can be tuned on real swings. Anonymous, and you can switch it off.
- Which parts of the app get used
- Counted, so the rough edges are findable. Same switch.
- Your voice
- Heard only for a few seconds after Albie asks you a question aloud. Never stored, never uploaded by Albie.
- Advertising, tracking, data brokers
- None. Nothing Albie sends is joined to data from other companies.
What Albie sends
Two things, to two places. Both are on by default, both are named on a notice shown before your first swing, and one switch in settings turns off both.
1. Measurements from your swing
About thirty numbers per swing: how far your hips turned, how long the backswing took, the angle of your lead elbow, and so on. Also whether a clip was rejected, which fix you were given, and your answer, whether you tap it or say it, as the words Yes, Not sure, or No.
They exist so the thresholds behind the advice can be fitted to real golfers instead of a handful. They are stored as sent, and they are not linked to anything about you.
2. Counts of what happened in the app
Events like “opened the app”, “filmed a swing”, “the clip was refused”, “a fix was given”, plus crash reports. No measurements travel on this stream, and no event describes your body.
What is never sent
- The video. Not a frame of it, not a still, not a thumbnail.
- Recordings of your voice. Albie keeps the word you answered with, never the audio.
- Your name, email address, phone number, or contacts.
- Your location.
- Anything from your camera roll other than the single clip you choose to analyze, which is also never uploaded.
- Any advertising identifier. Albie shows no ads and does not track you across apps or websites, which is why it never asks permission to.
When Albie listens
After reading out your fix, Albie may ask you a question aloud, then listen for a few seconds for your answer. There are two questions it can ask: every so often, whether the fix matched what you felt, and between swings, whether you are ready for the next one. Those are the only times it listens: never continuously, never in the background, and never without having just asked you a question out loud.
Turning what you said into words is done by your phone's own speech recognition, from Apple or Google. On most modern phones that happens on the device; on some, their recognizer may process the audio on their servers under their own privacy policies. What Albie keeps from it is at most one word. Your answer about the fix travels with the swing measurements described above; your answer to the ready question only starts or delays the next swing, and is kept nowhere. The audio itself is never stored or uploaded by Albie.
This needs the speech recognition permission, which your phone asks for separately. Decline it and nothing breaks: the question simply isn't asked, and you can still answer with a tap on the screen. Filming a swing also records audio with the video, and that is deleted with the video, straight after analysis.
The random id, and how to break it
What Albie sends is tagged with a random id generated on your phone the first time you open it. It is tied to nothing about you or your device. It exists because the useful comparison is between your own swings, and rows that cannot be grouped support population averages and nothing else.
Settings has "Unlink my past swings", which throws that id away and starts a new one. What was already sent stays where it is, unattached to anything sent afterwards. Your swings on the phone are untouched.
Switching it off
Settings, "Send measurements and usage". Off means nothing is sent from that point on. Albie keeps working exactly as before: everything that produces your one fix happens on the phone either way.
Settings also has "Export my swing data", which hands you everything Albie has measured from your swings as a spreadsheet you can keep or send on.
Who processes it
- Microsoft Azure
- Hosts the endpoint that receives swing measurements, and this website. United States.
- Aptabase
- Receives the usage counts and crash reports. United States.
- Apple and Google
- Distribute the app and report their own download and crash statistics to us. Their privacy policies govern that, not this one.
Data is processed in the United States. If you are in the UK or the EU, that transfer is covered by the standard contractual clauses those providers offer.
How long it is kept
Swing measurements are kept while they are useful for fitting the advice, and are not tied to you in a way that would let them be handed back or picked out. Usage counts follow Aptabase's own retention. The video is deleted from your phone as soon as it has been read, and was never anywhere else.
This website
It is a set of static files. No cookies, no analytics, no trackers, and no fonts or scripts fetched from anyone else. Nothing here follows you, and there is nothing to consent to.
The host keeps ordinary server logs of requests, including IP addresses, for security and to keep the site running. Those are not used to build any profile.
Children
Albie is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them. It asks for no personal information from anyone.
Your rights
Depending on where you live you may have the right to see, correct, or delete personal information a company holds about you, and to object to its processing. Albie holds none: there is no account, no name, and no email address, and what it does send is not linked to you.
The practical controls are on the phone, in settings, and they are immediate: switch sharing off, unlink your past swings, or export everything Albie has measured. Deleting the app removes everything held on the device.

Changes
If this policy changes, the date below changes with it, and anything that alters what leaves your phone will be disclosed in the app before it does.
Albie is made by William Belle LLC.
