Privacy Policy — Unforced — Tennis Leagues
Unforced lets you join a local tennis league, challenge players at your level, record scores and follow your rating.
This policy explains what Unforced — Tennis Leagues does and does not do with your information. It applies to the Android application Unforced — Tennis Leagues published under the package name com.ianskaitis.ember. By installing and using the app you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please uninstall the app.
Summary
This version of Unforced runs entirely on your device. It has no account system, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising and no third-party tracking. The developer has no server and receives none of your information. The only data that leaves your device is a pair of map coordinates sent to a weather service so the app can show the forecast for a match (see Weather forecasts).
The league community in this version is simulated on your phone: the other players, their replies, scores and messages are generated by the app itself while the online service is being built. Messages you send to them stay on your device.
Information you enter, and where it is stored
During setup and while using the app you can enter your name, an optional profile photo, an optional gender, your playing level, formats and availability, your city and home area, the leagues you join, match times, scores, ratings of opponents and chat messages. All of it is stored locally on your device, in the app's own private storage area, for the sole purpose of making the app work for you.
The developer cannot see, access, retrieve or read this data, and the app does not send it to the developer or to any third party. If your device is configured to back up app data to a cloud service you have chosen (for example a backup provided by your phone's manufacturer or operating system), that backup is controlled by you and by that provider's terms and privacy policy, not by this app.
Location
Choosing your city and home area from the list works without any location permission. If you instead tap Use my current location, the app asks for Android's approximate (coarse) location permission. Your approximate position is then used on your device to suggest the nearest city and area, using your device's built-in geocoder (which may be provided by Google as part of the operating system). The app never asks for precise location and does not track your location in the background. You can decline or revoke the permission at any time in your device settings.
Weather forecasts
To show the forecast for an upcoming match, the app requests a forecast from Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com), a free weather service. The request contains the map coordinates of the match court, or of your chosen home area if no court is set (rounded to about 10 metres), and your device's time zone. It contains no name, account, device identifier or other personal information, and it is sent over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. The forecast is kept only in the app's memory for up to 30 minutes. Open-Meteo processes the request under its own terms and privacy policy, available at https://open-meteo.com/en/terms.
Photos
If you add a profile photo, you choose it with Android's system photo picker. The app copies only that one picture into its private storage on your device. It is never uploaded.
Payments
Paid options shown in this version (Plus, boosts, coach and court bookings, entry fees) are test checkouts only: they never charge money and the app does not ask for or store any payment details. If real payments are added in a later version, this policy will be updated first.
Notifications
Match reminders and other notifications are generated locally on your device from data already stored on your device. No notification content is sent to the developer or to any third party. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device's system settings.
Sharing with other apps
Some features hand information to another app only when you tap them: adding a match to your calendar, opening directions to a court in a maps app, or sharing a result or an invite. In each case Android shows you the app that will receive it, and what happens next is governed by that app's own privacy policy.
Permissions
- Internet — only for the weather requests described above.
- Approximate location — optional, only when you tap Use my current location.
- Notifications and vibration — for match reminders.
Children's privacy
Unforced — Tennis Leagues is intended for adults and is not directed at children under the age of 13. The developer does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. Because the app stores everything locally on the device, no such information can reach the developer. If you have any concern, please contact the developer at ianskaitis@gmail.com.
Your control over your data, and deletion
Your information lives on your device and nowhere else. You can delete it at any time by either of these methods:
- using Settings → Demo tools → Start over in the app, which clears the data the app stores; or
- uninstalling the app, which removes the app and its locally stored data from your device.
Because the developer never receives your data, there is no copy held by the developer to delete, export or correct, and no deletion request needs to be sent. If you would like help, you can email the developer at ianskaitis@gmail.com.
Data security
Your data is protected by your device's own security, including any screen lock, device encryption and operating-system protections you have enabled. Because the data is not transmitted to the developer, there is no developer-held database that could be breached.
Third-party services
Unforced — Tennis Leagues does not include advertising networks, analytics providers, data brokers or social-media tracking. The only third-party service the app contacts is the Open-Meteo weather service, as described above. This privacy-policy website contains no cookies, no analytics and no tracking scripts.
Changes to this policy
When online features such as real accounts, real players, chat between users or payments are introduced, this policy will be updated before any personal data is sent from your device. Any updated version will be published on this page with a new effective date.
