SliceCo is built and run by Lockie Horking in Melbourne, Australia. This page tells you what data we collect, why, and what you can do about it. It is written in plain language because that is the policy. SliceCo is currently in alpha — early, real, and changing fast — so we want to be honest and specific about exactly what happens with your data.
SliceCo ("we", "us", "our") is a golf-caddie app built and operated by Lockie Horking in Victoria, Australia. Contact: [email protected]. We handle your personal information under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
To use SliceCo you create an account, and we store your information on our servers so you can sign in from any device. Specifically, we collect and store:
SliceCo uses your device's location only while you are actively playing a round, and only after your browser asks you and you say yes. We use your live position to calculate distances (to the front, middle, and back of the green) and to auto-detect which hole you're on.
Your live position is used in the moment to do those calculations. As part of saving a round, some of that round geometry (such as positions tied to shots or holes) may be stored alongside your scorecard. We do not track your location when you are not in a round, and we do not run background location tracking.
We do not sell your personal data to anyone, ever. We don't use third-party advertising, retargeting pixels, or social-media trackers.
Your account and golf data are stored in a Supabase Postgres database hosted in the Sydney, Australia region. Passwords are never stored in plain text — we store a bcrypt hash, which can't be reversed back into your password. Everything moves over HTTPS.
We're a very small team running an alpha, and we take security seriously, but no system is perfect. If you find a security issue, please email [email protected] and we'll act on it quickly.
We don't use tracking cookies. To keep you signed in, we store a session token (a JWT) in your browser's localStorage, and we keep a matching record in a sessions table on our server. That's what lets you stay logged in without typing your password every time. Clearing your browser storage for sliceco.app, or signing out, removes the token from your device.
We may run privacy-friendly analytics (no personal data) if and when it's enabled — page-level counts only, no cookies, no fingerprinting. If we turn this on, this page is the source of truth for what it does.
SliceCo has friends features. If you connect with another player, certain information becomes visible to them — for example your display name and the golf activity you choose to share (such as rounds or stats surfaced through those features). Friends only see what the app's social features are designed to surface; they do not get access to your email, your password hash, or your account settings.
We use a small number of service providers to run the app — chiefly Supabase, which hosts our database and authentication in Sydney. We share data with them only to operate SliceCo. We never sell your data.
SliceCo is built for adult golfers. It is not intended for children under 15, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.
If we change anything material, we'll update the effective date and version at the top of this page and, where appropriate, let you know inside the app. Because we're in active alpha, expect this page to evolve as the product does.
Questions, requests, complaints, or a heads-up about a security issue: [email protected]. You can also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) if you think we've mishandled your information.
