Privacy notice · last updated 9 October 2026
What we keep, and why
Swingman stores the video and shot data you ask it to, your account details, and very little else. There are no advertising trackers and no analytics scripts. This page is the whole story.
Who is responsible
Swingman is operated from the United Kingdom and is the data controller for the information on this page. For anything to do with your data, email [email protected]. Swingman is for adults: you need to be 18 or over to hold an account.
What is collected
| Data | When | Why (lawful basis) | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waitlist email and what you said you practise with | You fill in the form on the front page | To send you an invite when there is room (consent) | Until you are invited or ask to be removed |
| Account: email, display name, a password hash, whether the email is verified | You accept an invite | To run your account (contract) | Until you delete the account |
| Swing footage: video clips, still frames, and the body-pose landmarks extracted from them | You record at the range or at home | It is the product (contract) | 30 days by default, then deleted automatically unless you star a swing; you can delete any swing at any time |
| Shot data: launch-monitor numbers, clubs, sets, sessions, notes, drill results | You connect a monitor, import a CSV or type notes | It is the product (contract) | Until you delete it or the account |
| How much you use it: when you last had the app open, and how many sessions and swings you have recorded | You use the app while signed in | So the person who runs Swingman can see whether it is being used (legitimate interests) | When you last opened it: until you sign out, or a few weeks without a visit. The counts come from your sessions and go when they do |
| The camera's log: when the swing detector armed, fired or missed, how much of the picture was moving, and the camera page's status lines. No pictures | You record swings with the camera | To find out why a swing was missed or recorded by mistake (legitimate interests) | Until you delete the account |
| Toptracer login | Only if you choose to connect a Toptracer account | To fetch your own range sessions (consent) | Encrypted at rest; removed the moment you disconnect |
| Review links and comments left by reviewers | You share a session | So the person you sent it to can see it (contract) | Until you withdraw the link; comments stay with the session |
| Server logs: IP address, request path, time, browser type | Every request | To keep the service running and spot abuse (legitimate interests) | Rotated within days |
What is not collected
- No advertising or analytics trackers. No Google Analytics, no pixels, no fingerprinting.
- No third-party fonts or scripts on the public pages: fonts are served from this site, and the pose model runs on our own server.
- No location data. Where a session happened ("range" or "home") is only what you tapped.
- No contact list access, no microphone recording, no audio in the clips.
Cookies
One cookie, swingman_session, set when you sign in so you stay signed in. It holds
a random token, nothing about you. The public pages set no cookies at all. Your browser may keep
small settings locally (such as which phone is the display); they never leave the device.
Where it lives, and who else touches it
- Hetzner Online GmbH hosts the server and all stored data in a data centre in Helsinki, Finland (EU). Nightly backups stay on the same machine.
- Cloudflare sits in front of the site for HTTPS and protection against attacks. It sees the traffic in transit, including your IP address, and may keep short-lived logs.
- Resend sends the few emails Swingman sends (verification, invites, password resets, review links, the waitlist confirmation). It receives the address and the message.
Nobody else. Your footage is never used to train models, never sold, and never shared with launch-monitor companies or anyone else. If that ever changed, this page would say so first and you would be asked.
Sharing
Only you can see your sessions, unless you create a review link. A review link shows the footage, shot numbers and clubs of that one session to anyone who has the link, and lets them comment. It never shows launch-monitor numbers, coaching or notes. Send it to the person it is for, and withdraw it when you are done.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask for a copy of your data, have it corrected, have it deleted, or object to how it is used. You can delete your account yourself at any time in Settings → Account → Delete my account: clips, pose data, shots and sessions go with it straight away. Copies in the nightly backups age out within a week. For anything else, or if you can't sign in, email [email protected] from the address on the account; deletion by request is done within a week and confirmed by email. If you are unhappy with how a request was handled you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
Changes
This notice changes when the service does. The date at the top is the last change; material changes are announced to account holders by email.
