The short version
Tempo Score is built so that your swings stay on your phone. There are no accounts and nothing to sign in to. Your videos, tempo scores and timings are worked out and stored on your device and are never sent to us. The app has no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. The only outside service it uses is RevenueCat, which tells the app whether you have a Tempo Score Pro subscription; it never receives your videos or scores.
Who we are
Tempo Score is published by PremiumPress Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 15814776), whose registered office is at Rowan House, 7 West Bank, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, YO12 4DX, United Kingdom. We are the controller of any personal data described in this policy. Questions about this policy can be sent to golfstarapp@protonmail.com.
What the app stores on your phone
- Swing videos you record in the app or choose from your photo library, the trimmed copies made to time them, and the finished tempo videos.
- Your results: each swing's score, backswing and downswing times and ratio, and when it was timed.
- Edits you make to a swing's video, such as a shot tracer, lines or a tempo design.
- Settings: whether you chose Male or Female in Profile (it only picks the picture on the Home screen), whether you've seen the intro screens, and how many of your free tempo scores you've used.
All of this lives in the app's private storage on your phone. Deleting a swing, using Profile → Delete all swings, or deleting the app removes it. We have no copy. Your phone's own backup (for example iCloud Backup) may include the app's data, under your phone's backup settings.
Done on your phone
Finding the swing in your video, timing it from the movement of the golfer and the sound of the strike, following the ball for the shot line, and making the finished video all happen on your device. None of your videos are uploaded to do it.
If Tempo Score is made available on Android, parts of this use Google's ML Kit, which runs on the phone: finding the golfer's body and where the golfer is in the picture. Your pictures never leave the phone. ML Kit sends Google anonymous diagnostics each time it is used: the phone's model and operating system, the app's name and version, how long the reading took and whether it worked, and a random identifier for the installation.

Permissions the app asks for
- Camera, to film a swing.
- Microphone, to record the sound with your swing: the sound of the strike is how the app finds impact.
- Photos, to choose a swing from your camera roll and to save your tempo video to it, in a Tempo Score album.
Each permission is asked for only when you first use what needs it, and you can change any of them in your phone's settings at any time. Tempo Score does not use your location.
Subscriptions and RevenueCat
Tempo Score gives you three free tempo scores, then offers Tempo Score Pro as a yearly subscription. Payment is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store; we never see your card or payment details.
To know whether you have Tempo Score Pro, the app uses RevenueCat, a subscription service. When the app starts or you buy or restore a subscription, your phone connects to RevenueCat and RevenueCat receives:
- a random identifier that RevenueCat creates for this installation of the app. It is not your name, email address, Apple ID or advertising identifier;
- your purchase history for Tempo Score from the App Store: what was bought, when, the price and currency, and whether the subscription is active;
- device details: the phone model, operating system version, app version, language and country or region settings;
- your device's IP address, as any internet service does when the app connects to it.
We use this only to unlock Tempo Score Pro for you and to see how many people subscribe. RevenueCat processes it on our behalf under its own privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy. The lawful basis is that it is needed to provide the subscription you choose (performance of a contract). RevenueCat never receives your videos, scores or anything you film.
Sharing your videos
When you tap Instagram, TikTok or Facebook on a result, the app saves the video to your camera roll and opens that app, where you choose whether and how to post it. Nothing is sent to those companies by Tempo Score itself; anything you post is handled under their own terms and privacy policies.
What we do not do
- We do not create accounts or ask for your name or email address to use the app.
- We do not upload your videos, scores or timings to any server.
- We do not run analytics or advertising, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
- We do not sell or share personal data with anyone.
If you contact us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write. We use it only to reply, and delete it when the conversation is finished unless we need to keep it to meet a legal obligation. The lawful basis for this is our legitimate interest in answering your message.
This website
swingtempo.app is a static site. It sets no cookies and runs no analytics. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser requests font files from Google when the page loads; Google's privacy policy applies to that request.
Children
Tempo Score is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.
Your rights
Because your swings never leave your phone, you already control them: delete a swing, all swings, or the app itself and they are gone. Under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018) you have the right to ask whether we hold personal data about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to how it is used, and to receive a copy. To ask, write to golfstarapp@protonmail.com. Subscription records are tied to RevenueCat's random identifier rather than to you, so to find yours we may ask you for the purchase details in your App Store receipt. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published here with a new date at the top.
