AirSwing legal

Privacy Policy

AirSwing is built around a simple rule: your golf swing data should remain yours. This policy explains what the app and this website handle, why we handle it, and the controls available to you.

Effective 3 September 2026 · Last updated 3 September 2026

No account required

You can use AirSwing’s core golf swing and recording features without signing in.

Local by default

Raw motion recordings and every original video or generated clip stay on your devices in the current version.

Cloud is optional

Signing in enables private backup and cross-device access. Any optional data sharing requires a separate choice.

No ads or data sales

We do not sell personal, health, motion or video data, and we do not use it for advertising or user tracking.

Who we are

AirSwing is developed and operated by an independent developer under the Lofical Studio brand, ABN 54 309 142 329, based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. In this policy, “AirSwing”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to that operator.

We handle personal information in accordance with applicable privacy laws. Depending on the information and circumstances, these may include the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles, the Health Records Act 2001 (Vic), and the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 (NSW).

Information we handle

Optional account and profile

An account is optional. If you create one using email or Google sign-in, we receive the account identifier and email address needed to authenticate you. Information you choose to add may include your name, profile photo, phone number, date of birth, gender, height, weight, language, measurement preferences, timezone, worn wrist and golfing handedness.

Golf sessions and swing results

AirSwing records the information needed to show your training history, such as session date and duration, swing count, tempo and timing, speed and consistency metrics, derived swing results, device and app version, and deletion status. This information is stored locally. If you sign in, it is also synced to your private cloud account for backup and cross-device display.

Apple Health and workout data

With your permission, AirSwing uses Apple HealthKit on Apple Watch to start and save a golf workout and to receive heart rate and active energy burned while an AirSwing workout session is running. We do not read these data in the background before you start a session or after it ends. We store only the session information needed by AirSwing, including summary values such as average heart rate and total active energy. These summaries stay local unless you sign in, in which case they are included in your private cloud backup.

Apple controls the HealthKit permission screen and the health data held by Apple Health. AirSwing never uses HealthKit data for advertising, marketing, profiling or unrelated data mining.

Motion data and swing detection

Apple Watch motion sensors provide the raw accelerometer and rotation samples used to detect a golf swing. In the current version, raw motion samples and diagnostic motion recordings remain on your Apple Watch and iPhone and are not uploaded to our servers.

If you separately choose to share diagnostic swing data, AirSwing may upload only the limited data described at the time of permission. It is used solely to improve the accuracy and reliability of AirSwing. This sharing is off by default and can be withdrawn at any time.

AirSwing will not upload raw motion recordings without first explaining the purpose and obtaining your express permission.

Videos and clips

Original videos recorded through AirSwing, the clips AirSwing generates, and video-analysis results are processed and stored locally on your iPhone or in your Photos library. The current version does not automatically upload any recording or clip to AirSwing servers. A video leaves your device only when you deliberately share or export it using a destination you select.

If this handling changes in a later version, we will update this policy and obtain your clear permission before any video is uploaded to AirSwing servers.

Purchases and subscriptions

Purchases made through the App Store are processed by Apple. We do not receive your card, bank account or other payment details. Apple may provide AirSwing with limited purchase information—such as a product, transaction identifier, purchase status and entitlement—needed to provide, validate or restore a purchase. Deleting an AirSwing account does not automatically cancel an Apple subscription; subscriptions are managed through your Apple Account.

Website and support

This website does not use advertising pixels, behavioural analytics, fingerprinting, tracking cookies or location scripts. It loads the Halyard typeface through Adobe Fonts. Adobe receives the technical request required to serve the font, including the page hostname and an IP address used for delivery; Adobe states that the IP address is not stored by its Fonts service. If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you include so we can respond.

How we use information

We use information only as reasonably necessary to:

  • run golf workouts, detect swings and calculate the metrics you request;
  • save your local history and, if you sign in, provide private backup and cross-device access;
  • operate accounts, authenticate users, restore purchases and provide support;
  • maintain security, diagnose faults and prevent abuse; and
  • with a separate opt-in where required, improve AirSwing’s accuracy, reliability and service quality.

We do not change the purpose for which sensitive data was collected without further permission unless the law allows or requires it. We do not sell or rent your information, serve third-party advertising, build advertising profiles, or allow a third party to use HealthKit, motion or video data for advertising.

When you authorise data to be used for service improvement, we minimise the information involved and remove or separate direct identifiers where reasonably practicable. We do not try to identify people from improvement data and do not permit third parties to do so. No technical process can guarantee zero re-identification risk, so we do not describe information as anonymous where an individual could still reasonably be identified.

Sharing and service providers

We disclose only the information needed for the following services:

  • Apple: HealthKit and workout services, App Store distribution, purchases and subscription management.
  • Supabase: optional authentication, private database backup, account deletion functions and profile-photo storage.
  • Google: authentication information if you choose Continue with Google.
  • Adobe: website font delivery, as described above.

We require service providers that handle AirSwing user data for us to protect it consistently with this policy and applicable law and to use it only to provide their service. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect users or the service, or as part of a business transfer with appropriate notice and safeguards. We do not disclose your personal information to advertisers or data brokers.

Storage, security and retention

AirSwing’s primary cloud database and storage are configured in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The development and privacy contact is based in Melbourne, Victoria. Server location does not displace any privacy law that otherwise applies to you or to us.

Local data remains on the Apple devices or Photos library where it was saved until you delete it or remove the app, subject to your Apple backup settings. Cloud profile, session and swing data are kept while your account remains active or while reasonably needed to provide the requested service. Support correspondence is kept only as long as reasonably needed to resolve the request, maintain necessary records or meet legal obligations.

When you successfully delete your account, your active AirSwing cloud profile, cloud training history, swing data, authorised improvement data and stored profile photo are deleted. Limited residual copies may remain temporarily in provider backups until their normal rotation completes, or where retention is required by law, security or dispute-resolution obligations; they are not used to provide the active service. Local sessions, videos and clips on your devices are not deleted by cloud account deletion and remain under your control.

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to prevent loss, misuse and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. No storage or transmission system is completely secure, and we will respond to eligible data incidents as required by applicable law.

Your choices and rights

  • Use AirSwing without an account: core swing and recording features remain available locally.
  • Health permission: allow or revoke AirSwing’s Health access at any time in Apple’s system Health and Privacy settings. Revocation stops future access but does not remove summaries already saved in AirSwing.
  • Cloud and data-sharing choices: manage optional backup and improvement-data controls in AirSwing’s Privacy settings. Turning a setting off stops future sharing covered by that setting.
  • Access and correction: view or update available profile and history information in the app, or email us for assistance with information we hold.
  • Delete your account: use Delete Account in the app’s account settings at any time. This permanently removes your account and active cloud data. You do not need to email us to initiate deletion.
  • Delete local content: remove sessions, recordings and clips in the app or Photos as applicable. Removing the app also removes app-local content, subject to your device and Apple backup settings.

You may also ask us to access, correct or delete personal information, object to or restrict certain processing, or withdraw consent where those rights apply in your location. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

International availability

AirSwing is distributed by Apple in multiple markets. Our primary app database is in Australia, but Apple, Google, Adobe and infrastructure providers may process limited information in the United States and other countries where they operate. Privacy protections in those countries may differ from those in Australia. Where a cross-border disclosure is made by us, we take reasonable steps to use appropriate contractual, technical and legal safeguards.

This policy is our global baseline. Additional rights or notices may apply based on where you live. We will update AirSwing’s disclosures, consent flows and App Store privacy information where required for a market; Apple’s platform rules do not replace applicable local law.

Children

AirSwing is not directed to children below the minimum age at which they may consent to the handling of personal information in their country. We do not knowingly collect a child’s personal information through an account without any consent required by law. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information should contact us so we can investigate and delete it where appropriate.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when AirSwing’s features, providers or legal obligations change. We will post the revised policy here and change the “Last updated” date. If a change materially expands how we use health, motion, video or other sensitive information, we will provide an in-app notice and obtain new permission where required before the new use begins.

Contact and complaints

For privacy questions, access or correction requests, or a complaint, contact Lofical Studio at ethan@airswing.app. Please describe the issue and the outcome you are seeking. We will acknowledge and investigate privacy complaints and respond within a reasonable time.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may be entitled to contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, the Victorian Health Complaints Commissioner, the NSW Privacy Commissioner, or the privacy regulator in your country.
