noBlood
Privacy Policy
The short version: noBlood tracks golf scores and who owes who. We never process, hold, or move your wager money — that happens directly between you and your friends via Venmo, Zelle, or cash. We collect only what's needed to run the app, we don't sell your data, and you can delete your account and data at any time.
1. Who We Are
noBlood, LLC ("noBlood," "we," "us," or "our") operates the noBlood mobile application and the website at noblood.io (together, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
If you have questions about this policy, contact us at hi@noblood.io.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly, information generated by your use of the Service, and limited information from third-party services you choose to connect.
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Account information | Name, email address, password (stored encrypted), handicap |
| Payment handles | Venmo username, Zelle email or phone number (used only to display to people you owe or are owed by — we never charge these accounts) |
| Profile photo | If you choose to upload one |
| Game data | Scores, handicaps, formats played, stakes, course selections, match results |
| Ledger data | Who owes whom, amounts, and settlement status arising from games you play |
| Guest data | If you add a friend who doesn't have an account, we store the name, handicap, and contact information you provide for them, on your behalf |
| Subscription information | Subscription status (we do not receive or store your payment card details — these are handled entirely by Stripe) |
| Device information | App version and device type, used only for technical support and diagnosing issues |
We use PostHog, a product analytics platform, to collect usage data about how the app is used. This includes events such as screens viewed, features used, and actions taken in the app. PostHog data is associated with your user ID but does not include personally identifiable information such as your name or email. You can learn more at posthog.com/privacy.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To create and maintain your account
- To calculate scores, handicaps, and money owed for games and outings you participate in
- To display your name, handicap, and payment handles to other players in a game or outing you join
- To send you transactional emails (e.g. round results, account confirmation, payment notifications)
- To process subscription payments (via Stripe) and apply the resulting access to your account
- To respond to support requests
- To improve and maintain the Service, including diagnosing technical issues
We do not sell your personal information to third parties, and we do not use your data to serve third-party advertising.
4. noBlood Does Not Process Wager Money
This is a core part of how noBlood works: the app is a scorekeeping and ledger tool. When you and your friends play a money game, noBlood calculates who owes whom and displays that information. noBlood never collects, holds, transmits, or has access to the money you wager. Settlement happens directly between players using Venmo, Zelle, cash, or any method you choose, outside of noBlood. The only payment we process is your optional noBlood Degenerate season pass subscription, handled by Stripe.
5. Information Shared With Other Users
Golf is a social, group activity, and noBlood's core function depends on sharing some information with the people you play with:
- Your name, handicap, and game results are visible to other players in a match or outing you participate in
- If you owe money to or are owed money by another user, your saved Venmo handle or Zelle contact may be shown to that specific user so they can settle up with you
- If you host a round and add a guest, you control what information is shared on their behalf
We do not share your information with players who are not in a match, outing, or ledger relationship with you.
6. Third-Party Service Providers
We use the following service providers to operate noBlood. Each only receives the information necessary to perform its function:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Database hosting, authentication, and storage |
| Stripe | Subscription payment processing (season pass only) |
| Resend | Transactional email delivery |
| PostHog | Product analytics (app usage and feature events) |
| Sentry | Error tracking and crash reporting |
| OpenGolfAPI | Course and hole data lookup (no personal information is sent to this provider) |
| Netlify | Website hosting |
These providers are contractually and/or technically restricted from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to noBlood.
7. Data Retention and Account Deletion
We retain your information for as long as your account is active. You may delete your account at any time from within the app (Profile → Account → Delete Account).
If you have any unsettled debts in your Book at the time of deletion, you will be asked to settle them first — this protects both you and anyone you owe or are owed by from losing an accurate record. Once your account is deleted:
- Your authentication and profile data are permanently removed
- Historical, already-settled game records involving other users are preserved (anonymized to a generic label) so that the other party's history and Book remain accurate
8. Your Rights and Choices
- Access and correction: You can view and edit your profile information at any time within the app.
- Deletion: You can delete your account as described above.
- Email preferences: Transactional emails (confirmations, round results) are necessary to the Service. We do not send marketing email without your consent.
If you are located in a jurisdiction that grants additional data rights (such as the EU/UK GDPR or California CCPA/CPRA), you may have further rights to access, port, or restrict processing of your data. Contact us at hi@noblood.io to make a request.
9. Children's Privacy
noBlood is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it.
10. Data Security
We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted data storage, row-level access controls so users can only access data relevant to them, and secrets management for sensitive credentials. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. International Users
noBlood is operated from the United States. If you use the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Material changes will be communicated through the app or by email.
