6. Do We Collect Information From Minors?
We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18, or that you are the parent or guardian of a minor and consent to their use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users under 18 has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under 18, please contact us at fore@yardbookgolf.com.

8. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature. Because no uniform technology standard for recognizing DNT signals has been finalized, we do not currently respond to DNT signals.

10. Artificial Intelligence
Yardbook Golf uses artificial intelligence (AI) services, including the Anthropic Claude API, to generate optional narrative content such as tournament previews, pool summaries, and contextual insights. AI processing occurs entirely on our servers — no personal information (such as your email address, team name, or pick history) is sent to any AI provider. The AI models receive only anonymized, aggregated golf statistics (e.g., leaderboard positions and scoring data) and return text that is displayed within the app. AI-generated content is clearly labeled. You may encounter AI-generated content in your pool feed; it is not used for profiling, advertising, or any automated decision-making that affects your account.

Yes. We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated date at the top of this notice. If we make material changes, we may notify you by email or by prominently posting a notice. We encourage you to review this Privacy Notice periodically.
