Privacy policy

Effective date: September 21, 2026 (previous effective date: September 17, 2026)
OhMyShaft (the "Service") treats your personal information with care. This policy explains what information the Service collects and why, how it is stored, and what rights you have. The Service is a free golf swing analysis service run by an individual, and it does not sell personal information or provide it to third parties for advertising purposes.

1. Personal information collected

The Service collects only the information below, and asks for nothing else.

CategoryItems collectedWhen collected
Update notifications Email address When you sign up for them on the site
Analysis tool sign-up Mobile number, nickname, 4-digit PIN When you sign up in order to save your analysis history
Analysis records Club and shaft specs, swing measurements (club speed, launch angle, spin, and so on), notes you entered, and the analysis and recommendation results When you save your results

The PIN is not stored as it is; it is converted into a form that cannot be restored (hashed) and kept that way. The operator therefore cannot know your PIN.

The analysis tool can be used without signing up. Signing up is optional, for saving your analysis history and coming back to it later; if you don't sign up, no mobile number is collected.

Information collected automatically

The Service collects service usage records in order to see which screens are used and how much. The items below are all that it collects.

ItemDetails
Page visitedThe path part of the address (e.g. /tool.html)
ReferrerWhich site or app you came through (the domain name only; we don't store the full address, which can contain search terms)
Device typePhone · tablet · PC, and which browser
Visit identifierA random string used to tell one visit from another. It doesn't identify a person, and it disappears when you close the browser
Ad banner impressions and clicksWhich banner appeared on screen and which was pressed
We neither collect nor store IP addresses or location data. We also don't link this to anything that identifies you, such as a name or contact details. These records are kept up to 12,000 entries; beyond that, the oldest are deleted automatically.

Analysis result records (for the ‘recent checks’ display)

To run recently produced results across the service screen, we store the values below each time an analysis finishes. These records are visible to anyone visiting the site.

ItemDetails
Date and time of the analysisShown only as a relative time, like ‘3 minutes ago’
Distance · estimated clubhead speedThe values you entered, or the ones read from your photo
Recommended flex · target frequency (CPM)The values the analysis produced
Device typePhone or PC
These records contain no name, contact details, or visit identifier. There's no way to tell who ran an analysis, and records can't be strung together into one person. They're kept up to 6,000 entries; beyond that, the oldest are deleted automatically.

We also use Google Analytics 4 to improve the service. Google Analytics collects visit information through cookies and the like, and the Service is configured to anonymize IP addresses. You can refuse this collection by installing the opt-out tool Google provides, or by blocking cookies in your browser.

Separately, in the course of website hosting, access logs (IP address, browser information, date and time of access) may be recorded automatically by the hosting provider; these are used only for operating and securing the service.

We also keep login information in your browser's storage so that you stay logged in. It is stored only on your own device, and you can delete it in your browser settings.

2. Purposes for which personal information is used

We do not use personal information for any purpose beyond those above, and if the purpose changes, we obtain consent in advance.

3. Retention and use period

ItemRetention period
Sign-up information (mobile number, nickname, PIN)Until you close your account
Analysis recordsUntil you close your account or delete it yourself
Email address (update notifications)Until you ask to stop receiving them
Service usage records (page visited, referrer, device type)Up to 12,000 entries. Anything beyond that is deleted automatically, oldest first

Once the retention period passes, or you ask for deletion, we destroy the data without delay. Where the law requires it to be kept, we store it separately for that period only.

4. Provision to third parties

The Service does not provide your personal information to third parties. The exception is a request made through lawful procedure under the law, for example by an investigative agency.

5. Outsourced processing and transfer overseas

For stable operation, the Service outsources processing as set out below, and those companies' servers are located outside Korea.

ProcessorOutsourced taskDestination country · timing · methodItems transferred
Google LLC Data storage and processing
(Google Sheets, Apps Script)
United States · at the time you use the service · transmitted over the network Email, mobile number, nickname, PIN hash, analysis records
Google LLC Website usage statistics
(Google Analytics 4)
United States · at the time of access · transmitted over the network Service usage records (page visited, referrer, device type)
Anthropic PBC Generate the AI summary analysis United States · at the moment you press "AI summary analysis" · transmitted over the network Swing data and club specs (no name or contact details are transmitted)
Vercel Inc. Website hosting United States · at the time of access · transmitted over the network Access logs (IP address and so on)

You may refuse the transfer of your personal information overseas. The outsourcing above is essential to providing the service, however, so if you refuse, you can't use sign-up or the saving of analysis history. (Using the analysis without signing up is still possible.)

If a processor is added or changed, we'll let you know in advance through this policy.

6. Procedure and method of destruction
