Privacy Policy
The short version: Rally Tally keeps your data on your own device. Signing in with Google or Apple for cloud backup is optional; the app works fully without it. We don't show ads, track you across apps or sites, or sell any personal information. The app sends a few anonymous usage events (such as when the upgrade screen is shown) to Google Analytics, described below.
What we store
Everything you create in the app (teams, rosters, any player photos you add, game stats, tournament and season totals, and your settings) is saved locally on your device. It stays on your phone unless you export it or turn on cloud backup.
Optional cloud backup
If you choose to sign in with Google or with Apple, Rally Tally backs your data up to the cloud (including any player photos you have added), so you can restore it or move to a new device. Signing in is optional: the app works fully without it, and nothing is uploaded until you turn backup on. Your sign-in and backup are handled through Google Firebase, used only to authenticate you and store your own backup, never to track you or for advertising. You can sign out at any time, and Sign in with Apple lets you hide your email address if you prefer.
Anonymous usage analytics
The apps (Rally Tally and Rally Tally Beach) send a small number of anonymous usage events to Google Analytics so we can understand how the upgrade screen and Pro purchase flow are working. The events are: the app was opened, the upgrade screen was shown, a Pro purchase was started, succeeded, failed or was restored. Each event carries only a short label for where it happened in the app (for example which screen opened the upgrade screen), the reason a purchase did not complete (such as cancelled), and which app sent it. Google Analytics also receives the usual details attached to any web request: a random anonymous ID generated by the app and stored on your device, your approximate region derived from your IP address, your device type and operating system, and your language and screen size.
These events never include team or player names, rosters, photos, scores, game stats, your email address or sign-in details, or anything you type into the app. They are not used for advertising, are not combined with your cloud backup, and are not sold or shared with anyone else. Google processes this data on our behalf under the Google Privacy Policy. Clearing the app's data or reinstalling it resets the anonymous ID.
What we don't do
- No required account: everything works without signing in.
- No advertising, ad networks, or cross-app tracking. The only analytics are the anonymous events described above.
- No location tracking or device fingerprinting.
- No selling or sharing of data, there's nothing to sell.
Data you export
When you use the CSV export feature, a file is created and handed to your device so you can save or share it however you like. What happens to that file afterward is entirely up to you.
Hosting
The apps and this site are served as static files. Like any website, the host may keep standard, anonymized server logs (such as request timestamps) for security and reliability. These logs are not used to identify or profile you.
Children
Rally Tally is designed for players, coaches, and teams of any age. Unless you choose to sign in for cloud backup, the app collects no personal information beyond the anonymous usage events described above. If you do sign in, the only personal data involved is the account identifier from your Google or Apple sign-in, used solely to store your own backup. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children beyond this optional sign-in.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated date above will change with it. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
