Beta · Plain-language document for a personal beta — not legal advice.

Shway Shway is a personal golf-training tool, currently in beta. This page explains, in plain language, what data it keeps and what happens to it. It's written to be read, not to cover anyone legally.

What is collected

  • Account info — sign-in is handled by Clerk. That means your email address and login credentials live with Clerk, not in this app's database. We never see or store your password.
  • Your golf data — everything you enter or import: practice sessions, per-shot detail (carry, club path, etc.), rounds, handicap revisions, gapping/dispersion, and your player profile (handedness, goals, and the like).
  • AI conversation history — your messages to the AI coach and its replies, plus the structured debriefs it generates, so your history is there when you come back.

How it's stored

Your golf data and coach history are stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted on Neon. Every row is tied to your account and is only ever queried for you. The app takes automated backups so your data survives a mistake.

AI coaching & Anthropic

When you use the AI coach (chat or debrief), the app sends the relevant slice of your golf data — your profile, recent sessions, gapping, rounds, and per-shot detail — to Anthropic's API to generate a response. That's what lets the coach reason about your actual game. Your login identity isn't part of that payload. Anthropic processes the request under its own API terms; the data isn't used to train models via the API.

Never sold or shared

Your data is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties. The only outside services involved are the ones that make the app run — Clerk for sign-in, Neon for the database, and Anthropic for coaching responses — each used only for that purpose.

Export & deletion

You're in control of your data. In Settings you can Download my data (a full JSON bundle of everything tied to your account) and Delete my account (which removes all of your data and your login). You can also delete individual rounds, sessions, and imports from within the app. If you'd rather we handle a deletion or export for you, email rgazale@gmail.com.
