1. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how SmartGoalie (“we”, “our”, “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile and web applications (the “Service”). We designed SmartGoalie to keep personal data to an absolute minimum: most of your game data stays on your own device, and we do not sell personal data to anyone, ever.

2. Data we collect

Account information

If you sign up with email and password, we store your email address and an optional display name. If you sign in with Google, we receive your email address, display name, and profile photo URL from Google. Passwords for email accounts are never stored by us; they are handled by our authentication provider (Google Firebase Authentication).

Game data you enter

When you use the Service you enter information such as goalie rosters, game opponents, dates, shot locations, saves and goals, pass sequences, zone attribution, and free-text notes. This data is stored locally on your device by default. When you sign in, it is also synchronized to your private Firebase account so it can be restored on another device.

Technical data

To keep the Service running we may automatically record limited technical data such as crash reports and diagnostic logs. These do not include the content of your games. We do not use third-party advertising or behavioral analytics.

We may also create daily, anonymous aggregate statistics from game records, such as total shots, save/goal counts, and zone-level counts. These snapshots contain no account ID, name, opponent, notes, exact time, or individual rink coordinates. Historical aggregate snapshots may remain after you delete your account; your individual game records are still deleted.

Feedback you choose to send

When you submit feedback from the app, we store the category, message, an optional image you select, your account ID, submission time, app version and build number, operating-system name and version when available, and app language. We use this information to understand your report and improve SmartGoalie. We do not automatically attach your name, email address, game records, or device identifiers. The in-app feedback form does not provide individual replies.

What we do NOT collect

3. How we use data

We use the data we collect only to:

4. Sharing & third parties

We share data only with the vendors that help us operate the Service:

We do not share data with any other third party except when required by law, or when necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of SmartGoalie or its users.

5. Retention & deletion

AI request text and model responses are not stored in our application logs or quota database. We store account-linked request identifiers, timestamps and usage counters for rate limiting, with a 48-hour expiration policy and account-deletion cleanup. OpenAI handles submitted text under its applicable API data policies; disabling response storage is not a promise of zero vendor retention.

Game data you enter is retained for as long as your account is active or the data is stored on your device. You can delete individual seasons, games, shots, or goalies at any time from within the app.

You can delete your account from the Settings screen. When you delete your account:

Feedback messages, diagnostic information, and optional attached images stored in Firebase are retained for 180 days and removed by a daily cleanup process after that period. They are also deleted when you delete your account. Incomplete uploads are cleaned up after 24 hours. Access is restricted to authorized operators; attachments are not published. Copies of your message and optional image delivered to our support mailbox are not automatically removed by Firebase's retention process or account deletion.

We may retain minimal records for legal, fraud-prevention, or security reasons for a limited period.

6. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect data, including HTTPS transport encryption, managed authentication via Google Firebase, and access controls on our operational systems. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's data

SmartGoalie is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly create accounts for them. Parents or guardians may use the Service to record game statistics about a minor they supervise. In that case the parent or guardian is the account holder and is responsible for any personal data they enter about the minor. If you believe a child under the minimum age has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can exercise many of these rights directly in the app (for example, editing your display name, deleting seasons and games, or deleting your entire account). For any other request, email us at smartgoalie1@gmail.com.

9. International transfers

Our authentication and cloud-storage providers operate data centers in multiple countries. Your data may be processed in locations outside your country of residence, including the United States. Where required, transfers are made under appropriate safeguards.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, notify you in the app before the changes take effect.
