About
Effective June 10, 2026
What this is
The Tartan is a private companion app for annual golf outings. It tracks the running sheet of who’s up and who’s down across the round, runs group competitions for friendly side games (closest to the pin, longest drive, skins, low-net, and the like), seeds a match-play bracket from group results, and runs a Ryder-Cup-style team competition across the outing.
Who runs it
Calverda LLC, a New York limited liability company. The roster of any given event is invitation-only and managed by that event’s organizer. Calverda LLC operates the platform; organizers run their own events on top of it.
What we collect
Your name, email address, handicap, sheet entries, and group competition entries. A mobile number is optional — we collect one only if you choose to opt into SMS from your account settings, and we never collect a phone from an organizer on your behalf. If you opt in, the phone is used to send one-time sign-in codes and event reminders by text, and we record the SMS consent (timestamp, IP, user agent, the exact disclosure text you saw) so we can prove the opt-in was explicit. Nothing is shared outside the outing. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.
Money
No real money moves through the app. The sheet is a record of informal tallies between participants; settlement happens off-app, in person, the way it always has. We don’t hold funds, we don’t process payments, and we don’t act as a stakeholder.
SMS
SMS is optional — you sign in by email, and you can use The Tartan without it. If you opt in, we use SMS only for one-time sign-in codes and event reminders — never marketing. You can reply STOP at any time to stop messages, or HELP for a short reply with our contact info. For full detail, see the SMS Disclosure.
