AI Transparency

How YourGolf uses Artificial Intelligence

Last updated: March 2026

At YourGolf, we believe in being transparent about how we use artificial intelligence. This page describes all AI-powered features in our platform, what data they process, and how they work. This disclosure is provided in accordance with the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689).

Overview

YourGolf uses AI to enhance your experience with optional features. All AI features are: • Voluntary - you choose when to use them, and the platform works fully without them • Transparent - AI-generated content is clearly labeled as such • Low-risk - none of our AI systems make automated decisions with legal or significant effects on users • Privacy-respecting - your data is processed only to generate responses for you and is not used to train AI models

AI Risk Classification

Under the EU AI Act, AI systems are classified by risk level. All of YourGolf's AI features fall into the minimal risk or limited risk categories: • No high-risk AI systems - we do not use AI for profiling, scoring, biometric identification, or automated decision-making that significantly affects users • No prohibited AI practices - we do not use subliminal techniques, exploit vulnerabilities, or perform social scoring • Limited risk transparency obligations - we clearly label all AI-generated content so users know when they are interacting with AI

1. Support Chatbot

Purpose: Answer questions about the YourGolf platform and help users navigate features. How it works: • Uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) - searches a knowledge base of platform documentation to find relevant information, then generates a response • Powered by Anthropic Claude (language model) and OpenAI (text embeddings for search) • Available in the Player app, Pro app, Pro web portal, and Club Admin portal Data processed: • Your chat messages (to generate responses) • Conversation history within the session (for context) • Your locale/language preference Data NOT processed: personal profile data, booking history, payment information, or video content. Classification: Limited risk (AI-generated content clearly labeled). No automated decisions.

2. Round Analysis

Purpose: Provide AI-generated coaching insights based on your golf round statistics. How it works: • You submit a completed round for analysis • Anthropic Claude analyzes the statistical data and generates coaching suggestions • Identifies patterns in your play (tee shots, approach, short game, putting) Data processed: • Round statistics: scores, fairways hit, greens in regulation, putts, penalties per hole • Course information (name, par) • No personal data beyond your round numbers Classification: Minimal risk. Informational only - suggestions do not constitute professional instruction. Clearly labeled as AI-generated.

3. Character Feedback (Seamus & Laura)

Purpose: Entertainment - AI-generated humorous or encouraging commentary on your golf round. How it works: • "Seamus" provides witty, honest feedback in the voice of a fictional Irish pub owner • "Laura" provides warm, encouraging feedback in the voice of a fictional British mentor • Both are powered by Anthropic Claude (text generation) and ElevenLabs (voice synthesis) • This is a premium feature requiring credits Data processed: • Round statistics (same as Round Analysis) • No personal or sensitive data Classification: Minimal risk. Entertainment feature with no decision-making impact. AI-generated nature is inherent in the feature design (fictional characters).

4. Voice Transcription

Purpose: Convert coach voice notes to text for lesson documentation. How it works: • Coach records a voice note during or after a lesson • OpenAI Whisper converts speech to text • Anthropic Claude summarizes the transcription into structured lesson notes Data processed: • Audio recording of coach's voice note • Only the coach's spoken content - no student audio is recorded Classification: Minimal risk. Factual transcription with no interpretation or decision-making.
