Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how the Pocket Tactic Board App ("we", "our", or "us") handles your information when you use our mobile application (the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

Our app is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information to external servers.

1.1 Local Data Storage

The app stores the following data locally on your device:

• Tactical Board Configurations: Your saved tactical formations, player positions, and board layouts
• Team and Player Details: Player names, numbers and positions that you enter
• Player Avatar Photos: If you choose to add a photo to a player, that image is referenced from your device and shown on the board. It is never uploaded.
• App Preferences: Your selected field types, formation preferences, and drawing settings
• Drawing Data: Your tactical drawings, annotations, and diagrams
• Animations and Drills: Keyframes for your animations, including any drill imported from a drill code

1.2 Device Permissions

The app requests the following permissions. Each is requested only at the point you use the feature that needs it, and the app continues to work if you decline.

• Camera: For two things. First, to scan a drill code: the camera reads the code, the drill is placed on your board, and nothing is recorded, saved or transmitted. Second, to take a player avatar photo, if you choose to add one.
• Photo Library (read): To let you pick an existing photo as a player avatar.
• Photo Library (add): To save tactical board images and exported animation videos to your photo library.
• Storage Access: To save and load your tactical boards locally on your device
• File Sharing: To share exported tactical board images and videos through your device's sharing capabilities

The app does not request microphone access. Narration on exported videos is generated by your device's own text-to-speech voice from text in the app; nothing is recorded.

1.3 Drill Codes

A drill code is a QR code containing the drill itself — the player positions, phases and drawings. When you scan one, the app reads it with the camera and builds the drill on your board. The scan happens entirely on your device: no image is stored, and no network request is made. The app does not know where a code came from or who created it.

2. How We Use Your Information

All data processing occurs locally on your device. We use your locally stored information to:

• Save and restore your tactical board configurations
• Remember your app preferences and settings
• Export tactical boards as image files, and animations as narrated video files, for sharing
• Show a player's avatar photo on the board, if you have added one
• Build a drill on your board from a scanned drill code
• Provide undo/redo functionality for your tactical designs

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share, sell, or transmit your data to any third parties. All data remains on your device.

3.1 User-Initiated Sharing

You may choose to share tactical board images through your device's built-in sharing functionality. When you do so:

• The sharing is entirely under your control
• We do not have access to or control over the shared content after you initiate sharing
• The privacy practices of the receiving applications or services are governed by their own privacy policies

4. Data Security

Since all data is stored locally on your device:

• Your data security depends on your device's security measures, including any avatar photos you add
• We recommend keeping your device updated and using appropriate device security features
• No data is transmitted over the internet to our servers

5. Data Retention

Your tactical board data is retained locally on your device until:

• You manually delete saved boards within the app
• You uninstall the application
• You clear the app's data through your device settings

6. Children's Privacy

Our app is suitable for all ages and does not collect any personal information. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since all data remains local to the device, parents have full control over any data created by children using the app.

Coaches working with youth teams should note that player names and any avatar photos they add are stored only on that device and are never transmitted to us or to anyone else. Responsibility for obtaining any consent needed to photograph a minor rests with the person using the app.

7. Third-Party Services

Our app does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or data collection services. The app operates entirely offline and locally.

8. This Website

Sections 1 to 7 describe the mobile app. This section describes this website (pocket-tactic-board.vercel.app), which is separate from it.

8.1 What the website stores

• Language preference: when you choose a language, that choice is saved in your browser's local storage so the site remembers it on your next visit. It stays in your browser, is never sent to us, and you can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

The website sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and does not track you across sites.

8.2 Services the website loads

None. The typeface, stylesheet and icons are all served from this website itself, so your browser makes no requests to third-party networks while viewing it. Nothing about your visit is disclosed to any other company.

8.3 Links to the app stores

The download buttons link to the Apple App Store and Google Play. Once you follow one of those links, Apple's or Google's own privacy policy applies to what happens there.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy. Continued use of the app after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

10. Your Rights

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over your information:

• Access: You can access all your data through the app interface
• Modify: You can edit or update your tactical boards at any time
• Delete: You can delete individual boards, remove a player's avatar photo, or remove all data by uninstalling the app
• Export: You can export your tactical boards as image files and your animations as video files

12. Compliance

This app is designed to comply with:

• Google Play Store policies
• Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) principles
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requirements
