Swing Video

When you upload a swing video, the video file and extracted frames are used solely for AI-powered coaching analysis.

Uploaded videos and extracted frames may be temporarily stored during processing and analysis. Once analysis is complete, those files are permanently deleted and are not retained as part of your account history.

We do not maintain a library of your uploaded videos. Only the coaching findings, observations, and structured analysis derived from the video are retained within your account.

This is a core commitment of ShotFocusGolf: we keep coaching intelligence, not your videos.

AI Processing

ShotFocusGolf uses trusted AI service providers to generate coaching analysis and coaching responses. Data shared with AI providers is used solely to provide the requested service and is not used by ShotFocusGolf to train AI models.

OpenAI currently processes certain requests on our behalf. According to OpenAI's API policies, API data is not used to train OpenAI models and may be retained for a limited period for safety and abuse monitoring. For more information, see openai.com/privacy.

AI-generated coaching insights are intended to support golf improvement and should not be considered medical, health, or injury advice.

Service Providers

We use trusted third-party service providers to help operate ShotFocusGolf. Current providers include Neon (database services), Vercel (application hosting), AWS S3 (temporary video storage), and OpenAI (AI processing). These providers may change over time.

We require service providers to implement appropriate security measures and maintain industry-standard safeguards.

ShotFocusGolf is operated from Australia and uses service providers located in the United States. Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries outside your country of residence, including the United States, where our service providers operate.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or loss. These measures include encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, authentication safeguards, infrastructure security controls, and regular security reviews.
