5. Player Accounts and Coaching Information

The Law of Golf is developing a personalized coaching platform intended for adults aged 18 and older.

When these services become available, players may be able to create profiles, establish goals, upload swing videos, record practice activities, track performance, and communicate with coaches.

We will use this information to provide coaching services and support each player’s improvement journey.

Player information may be accessible to authorized coaches, administrators, and service providers as reasonably necessary to operate the platform and deliver coaching services.

We do not intend to make private coaching records publicly available as part of normal platform operations.

6. Swing Videos, Testimonials, and Public Content

Players may submit swing videos, photographs, written feedback, and other materials as part of their coaching experience.

These materials are collected primarily to provide coaching, analysis, and related services.

We will not intentionally publish a player’s private coaching videos, identifiable testimonials, or personal success stories for promotional purposes without obtaining separate, explicit permission.

Any authorization for public use will identify the material and intended use.

Where applicable, permission may be withdrawn for future uses by contacting legal@thelawofgolf.com. Withdrawal may not reverse materials already distributed or uses that cannot reasonably be recalled.
