Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 4, 2026

RankKeepers is a shared standings board you can use with no account. We built it to collect as little as possible. This page explains exactly what that means.

What a broadcast board stores

When you broadcast a board, the only thing saved is the board's live state: the mode you picked (Table, Pools, Ladder, or House points), the entrant names, results and points you entered, the board name and message line if you typed one, the chosen display theme, and a random code that identifies the board. This is stored on our hosting provider's database (Google Firebase / Cloud Firestore) so that every screen that opens the same link or code sees the same live standings.

A board is identified only by its random code. Anyone with the link or code can view it, and, if you leave "anyone can add results" turned on, can add match results or award points too. Entrant names you type are visible to anyone with the code, so please use first names or nicknames rather than full names, and don't put anything private or personal into a board name, message, or entrant name.

Logo upload (RankKeepers Pro)

If you add a logo to a Pro board, it's stored alongside that board's data, keyed to the same random code, so every screen showing your board can display it. It is not linked to your identity, just to the code.

On your device

RankKeepers keeps your current board, your saved boards, and your display and sound preferences in local storage on your device so the app picks up where you left off. This never leaves your device, and clearing your app data or browser storage removes it.

Optional anonymous analytics

RankKeepers may use Firebase Analytics to understand which features are used, for example, that a board was created or a broadcast began. These events are anonymous and identify only the event name, never a board code, entrant name, or anything you typed. This can be used to improve the app; it is never sold.

In-App Purchase

RankKeepers Pro is a one-time in-app purchase handled entirely by Apple. We never see or store your payment information. Apple's own privacy policy covers that transaction.

What we don't do

• We don't use advertising or third-party ad/tracking SDKs.
• We don't create user profiles or fingerprint your device.
• We don't sell, rent, or share data with advertisers.

Data retention

Broadcast boards are meant to be temporary. We may periodically clean up old, inactive boards. Because boards hold no personal information beyond the names you choose to enter and are keyed only by a random code, there's nothing tied to your identity to remove.

Children

RankKeepers is a general-audience standings tool and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. If you use it for a classroom, please use first names or nicknames only.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated policy.
