This Privacy Policy explains how Francis Francisco ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the AQPA (AceQuest Pocket Association) mobile application (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
AQPA is a social golf app for live hole-in-one attempts. A group of golfers starts an "Ace Quest," broadcasts it live from the App to the AQPA community, and posts short clips of their shots. AQPA is invite-only and intended for players 18 and older.
We collect the information needed to run accounts, live quests, chat, jackpots, and the AQPA community feed. Specifically:
Sign-in identifier: The App uses Sign in with Apple. Depending on the permissions you grant Apple, we may receive your name and email address (or, if you choose Apple's "Hide My Email" option, a private relay address instead).
Waitlist and profile information: Your first and last name, email, phone number if provided, home city and state, username, month and year of birth, profile photo, home course, handicap, dexterity, and pro/amateur status, if you choose to provide them.
Quest information: The course, hole, and yardage you enter, the golfers in each quest, and quest events such as swings, ACE presses, viewer ace votes, and the shot clock.
Video and audio: Live broadcasts, the recording made on your phone during a quest, clips you post, and an automatic 4K backup when an ace is claimed (see "How Video Is Handled").
Chat and community activity: Messages you send in quest chats, follows, blocks, and reports you make.
Jackpot claims: The status and review of any ace claim. If you win, we will ask for the information needed to deliver the prize and meet tax reporting requirements, and use it only for those purposes.
Camera, microphone, and photo library access: AQPA requests camera and microphone access to broadcast and record your quests, and photo library "add only" access if you choose to save a clip to your device.
Device and diagnostic information: App version, your push notification token and notification settings, and crash and performance reports from your phone. Crash reports describe what the App was doing when it failed and do not include your videos or messages.
We do not collect your location or your contacts. We do not use third-party advertising services, and we do not sell your information.
During a quest, the App uses your camera and microphone to broadcast live and to record the quest on your phone. Broadcasting and recording stop when the quest ends or you leave the App. To help frame the golfer and detect swings, the App analyzes camera images on your phone. That analysis stays on your phone and is not sent to us.
Live broadcasts: Shown to the golfers in the quest and to approved AQPA members who can see it, such as the broadcaster's followers.
Your phone's recording: Stays on your phone and is deleted 24 hours after the quest. It cannot be saved or shared until you edit it into a clip of 45 seconds or less. You can delete it sooner from your Ledger of Quests.
AQPA's copy of each live broadcast: Kept by our video provider so every golfer in the quest can make their own clip and so ace claims can be reviewed. It is deleted about 25 hours after the quest ends, unless it is tied to an ace claim, in which case it is kept until the claim is settled.
Posted clips: Uploaded to our video provider and shown in the App to approved members, except people you have blocked or who have blocked you. New videos play through private links that expire.
4K ace backup: About 60 seconds of video around an ACE press, uploaded automatically. It is kept until the claim is settled, and then for up to about one year.
Quest chat: Deleted when the quest ends, except reported messages, which are kept until they are reviewed.
We use this information to operate AQPA: creating and approving accounts, live broadcasting, clips, and chat, showing you quests and clips from members you follow, sending notifications you have turned on, moderating content, reviewing and paying jackpot claims, fixing crashes and improving the App, and communicating with you about your account.
Other members see your username, profile, posted clips, live quests you broadcast or play in, and your chat messages, as described above.
We share information with the service providers that power AQPA, who process it only on our behalf:
Supabase: Database, sign-in, and server functions.
Mux: Live streaming and video hosting.
Apple: Sign in with Apple and push notifications.
Golf course data provider: Course search.
We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of AQPA, its members, or others.
We keep your information while your account is active. Videos and chat are kept as described in "How Video Is Handled." Crash reports are deleted after about 90 days. Records of jackpot claims and prizes are kept as long as needed to meet legal and tax requirements.
In the App: You can edit your profile, change notification settings, block, report, and unfollow members, hide your posts, and delete a quest recording from your Ledger of Quests.
Deleting your account: You can permanently delete your account in Settings. This deletes your account, your profile, your posted clips and their videos, your recordings, your notification history, and your crash reports, and disconnects Sign in with Apple. In quests you played with others, you will appear as "Retired Quester" so the other golfers keep their quests. Records we must keep by law, such as jackpot prize records, are kept as required.
Requests: You can ask us for a copy of your information, or ask us to delete it, by emailing lordacequest@gmail.com.
AQPA is not directed to, and may not be used by, anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Only approved members can see content in the App, and new videos play through private links that expire. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, but no method of storage or transmission is completely secure.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to request deletion of your data, contact us at: lordacequest@gmail.com
