Privacy Policy

Apple Health workouts

Apple Health access is optional. iPhone workout import is read-only; if you start a game workout on Apple Watch, Courtline requests permission to save the workout and its active energy to Health. Courtline reads court-sport workouts and active energy only after you request access. Health values are displayed in a native iPhone screen and are not uploaded to Courtline, exposed to the embedded website, published on profiles, or used for analytics or advertising. Optional workout-to-match links are stored on the iPhone in a protected file excluded from backup, separately for each signed-in account. Remove links in the workout screen and revoke Health access in the Health app. Courtline writes only Watch workouts you explicitly start and end; it does not delete your existing Health workouts. Calories are estimates supplied by Health; unavailable values are not inferred.

Movement Practice and drills

Movement Practice beta uses the iPhone camera only after you choose to record and grant camera access. It records up to 15 seconds without a microphone input. Apple Vision analyzes body points on the phone. The temporary video and body points are not uploaded, shared, or linked to your account. The clip is deleted when you close or retake the practice; leftover practice clips from an interrupted session are cleared on the next native app launch. Written-drill completion dates are stored in this browser or device, not in your account or a cloud practice history. Movement estimates do not affect your skill rating.

Highlights and friend invitations

When you choose Save private draft in Highlights, we store your video, its filename, duration, and your marked moments and titles in private cloud storage linked to your account. Private drafts are accessible only while signed in to that account. If you explicitly add a draft to your public profile, the entire source video and its marked moments become accessible to visitors while your profile is public. Remove it from your public profile to stop access through Courtline; copies others saved cannot be recalled. Hiding your profile also hides its videos. Drafts remain until you delete them or delete your account. Selecting a video without saving does not upload it. Video exports are not available in this version. Video reports are sent to Courtline support for review.

Friend invitation links show the inviter’s Name or Alias to anyone with the link. Links last seven days and can be replaced. The recipient must sign in and explicitly accept before a friendship is created. An invitation does not share your email or publish your profile. Account deletion removes your drafts and invalidates your invitation link.

Information we use

• Account information: your email address, account identifier, and sign-in/session information when you create or access a creator account.
• Competition information: player names you enter, competition names, schedules, scores, results, league memberships, and invitation codes. Club records include rosters, admin assignments, and branding. Player preferences include saved player names; performance statistics are calculated from recorded results.
• Play: your account-linked Name or Alias, sport, skill level, day/time and time zone, public court and city, and optional notes are visible to people browsing requests. Player names and responses are shared with the poster and the responding player. Account identifiers link these records internally; email addresses and phone numbers are not displayed. Reports and blocks are used to moderate requests. Requests stop appearing in browse results at their playing time or when cancelled or removed. Game alerts and day-before reminders appear privately in the app while it is open. Your game calendar is visible only to you; accepted players and the host can export a confirmed game to their phone calendar with a day-before alert. Phone-calendar copies do not update automatically. After the estimated 90-minute game ends, the host and accepted players may submit one 1–5 star playing-experience rating per other confirmed player within 30 days, confirming they played together. Average ratings and counts appear beside player names or aliases; individual ratings and rater identities are not listed publicly. Your Name or Alias is chosen once with confirmation, cannot be changed after saving, and is used across your game requests, responses, and ratings. Ratings stay linked to account identifiers rather than names. Name, request, response, notification, and rating records are retained until account deletion. Deletion removes ratings you gave and received.
• Paid competitions: We store entry prices, membership-adjusted registration fees, account-linked teams, Stripe organizer account identifiers, checkout/payment/refund identifiers, and payment status. Organizers see player names, team membership, and registration/payment status, not card or bank details. Stripe collects payment and organizer verification/bank information. Payment and refund updates are private notifications. Financial identifiers and amounts may be retained after account deletion for reconciliation, refunds, fraud prevention, and required records; public profile data is removed.
• Purchase information: Apple transaction and product identifiers, account association, subscription expiry and refund or revocation status. Apple handles payment details; we do not receive your full payment card number.
• Technical information: requests and error information used to operate and troubleshoot the service. Hosting and authentication providers may process IP addresses and device or browser information.
• Optional usage analytics: if you turn on Share anonymous usage, we record screen and feature categories with a pseudonymous identifier. Turn it off in Account settings at any time. We do not collect player names, scores, audio, or transcripts in these events.
• Monitoring and bug reports: API request counts, status, and response time help us identify service failures. Reports you submit contain the issue category and description you choose to send.
• Support messages: your email address and information you choose to send us.

Nearby courts

When you ask to use your location, temporary coordinates are used to find venues. ZIP searches use a postal-code lookup instead. Courtline does not save the search location with your account. The web finder uses public map and ZIP providers and a partial directory of verified Miami parks. Native Apple Maps search is prepared for the next iPhone build, pending device testing; when available, Apple processes the search. Directions and venue websites follow their providers’ privacy practices. Confirm facilities, access, and hours with venues.

Friends and game invitations

Signed-in players can search published profiles by Name or Alias or connect with players in a confirmed game. Friend requests require the other player’s acceptance. Connections, request status, names, and game invitations are visible only to the participating accounts. Friends may see a published profile’s optional photo and city; a connection does not publish a private profile or share email addresses. Accepted friends can invite each other to an open game. Joining still requires expressing interest and host acceptance. You can cancel a pending request, decline one, remove a friend, or block a player. Blocked connections are hidden and cannot send new invitations. Connection records are retained until account deletion; deleting either account removes the connection.

Public profiles, skill ratings, and open tournaments

Profiles are private until you publish one. A public page shares your permanent Name or Alias, optional profile photo, city and bio, aggregate player reviews, and skill ratings. Unpublish in Home to hide the page and photo. Photos are cropped and re-encoded to JPEG by the uploader to remove location and other metadata. You can replace or remove your photo. Photo objects are stored privately and served only after checking profile visibility; account deletion also removes stored photo files. It never displays email, phone, or game locations. Courtline Skill Rating is an independent Elo-based 1–16 scale, separate from player reviews and unaffiliated with UTR. Players can set and update a starting self-rating per sport before their first confirmed result. This starting value is stored with the account and used to initialize the skill calculation. After the first confirmed match, results adjust the rating automatically and the starting value is locked. Self-rated and early match ratings are labeled provisional. Only opponent-confirmed singles results from accepted Play participants change the rating afterward. Five confirmed matches establish an initial rating. Reports and confirmations link to account IDs. Open tournament listings share the organizer alias, venue, city, date, description, accepted player or team count, and bracket player or team names once started. For doubles, both teammates join through their own accounts using a private partner code. Only the team captain can retrieve a waiting team’s code. The organizer sees both names for registration review. Teams lock when the bracket starts. Registration details are shared with the organizer. No entry fees are collected. Account deletion removes public profiles, reported skill results, and registrations; previously shared competition names remain subject to competition deletion rules.

iPhone notifications

When you enable phone notifications, Apple supplies a device token. We associate it with your signed-in session to send private game, shop, registration, and result updates through Apple Push Notification service. Alerts use a generic body and a screen link. Signing out revokes that session’s registrations; disconnecting removes the device registration. Pending delivery records expire after one day. The iPhone may also schedule a day-before reminder for confirmed games it has synced. Open Courtline after a game changes to refresh or remove that local reminder; offline copies cannot automatically reflect cancellations. Apple and iOS control delivery and presentation.

Linked competition results and game chat

Account-to-roster links associate competition results with your account after organizer approval, or automatically from accepted registrations when a new open tournament starts. Account linking does not change your permanent Name or Alias or certify identity. You can unlink in Home. Roster-name browsing remains a separate view.

Game chat is shared with the host and currently accepted players. It stores message text, account identifiers, times, and mute preferences. Reports share the reported message and your reason with Courtline moderators, who can remove content. Chat alerts use generic notification text. Rooms are accessible until 30 days after the estimated game end; this access limit does not delete the stored messages. Account deletion removes your messages, reports, mute preferences, and roster links; deleting the host account removes that game’s chat. A rematch creates a new public play request, and you choose whether to share its link in the original chat.

Private goals and match journal

We store your sport-specific personal goals, manual progress, target dates, and optional post-match reflections in your account. These are private and never included on public profiles or shared with opponents or club administrators. Plus (including qualifying Club access) enables creating and editing; saved entries remain readable and removable after access ends. You can delete individual entries or remove them with account deletion. Rating-history charts replay your confirmed singles results; they do not alter your rating.

Optional Home Screen widgets

Connecting widgets creates a credential associated with your signed-in session, selected competition and match, scoring side, permission expiry, and limited scoring receipts. The iPhone stores the credential in its protected Keychain and a protected display snapshot in an App Group container. Widgets can show game times, courts, player names, scores, and standings on your Home Screen. Disconnect in Account settings to revoke access and clear saved widget data. Signing out revokes the originating session; account deletion removes widget records. Widget refresh timing is controlled by iOS. Scoring uses the same membership checks and rules as the app.

Optional voice scoring

When you turn on hands-free scoring, the iPhone microphone listens for scoring commands. Apple Speech Recognition processes the audio and may send it to Apple. Courtline does not store audio or transcripts on its server; it saves the resulting score changes. Listening stops when you turn it off, leave the scoring screen, or put the app in the background.

Why we use it

We use this information to authenticate users, keep scores synchronized, display standings, share competitions with members, verify purchases, apply plan access, prevent abuse, and respond to support requests.

Sharing and service providers

Club admins can manage the club roster and competitions. People who join a competition can see its player names, schedule, scores, and results. Anyone with a valid invitation code or link can join, so share invitations only with the people you intend to invite.

We use Supabase for authentication, Resend for sign-in email delivery, OpenAI Sites and Cloudflare for hosting and storage, and Apple for in-app purchases. Support email is handled through Gmail. These providers process information needed to deliver their services. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect the service and its users.

We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.

Cookies and sessions

Essential session cookies keep creators signed in and remember guest access to competitions. Guests receive a session identifier even when they do not provide an email address. Signing out or leaving a guest session clears that session’s browser cookie.

Retention and your choices

Optional usage events, service health counts, and in-app bug reports are removed from active storage after 30 days. You can stop future usage analytics in Account settings. Account deletion also removes your usage events and in-app bug reports. Account and competition information is retained to provide the service. Creators can delete their competitions in the app; this removes the competition’s player and score content from the active competition record. Limited identifiers and purchase or allowance records remain to prevent duplicate purchase use and repeated free allowances.

You can permanently delete your account in the app from Account settings. Contact thetechtroniz@gmail.com to request access or correction of personal information. We may verify your identity before acting. Some information may need to be retained for legal obligations, purchase records, or fraud prevention; backup and provider retention may differ from active records. Account or competition deletion does not cancel an Apple subscription. You can manage your subscription through Apple.

Security and international processing

We use encrypted connections and access controls to protect information. No service can guarantee absolute security. Service providers may process information outside your state or country.

Children’s information

The service is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and address it.

Policy updates

We will post changes on this page and update the effective date. Contact us with any questions about this policy.

Shop requests

If you request a shop item, we store your account email, requested product and quantity, delivery ZIP code, and preferences to respond with a quote and manage your request. Requests do not collect payment. Do not submit card information. Only authorized shop administrators can see all requests. Deleting your account removes your shop requests. Contact thetechtroniz@gmail.com for shop privacy questions.

Availability and player suggestions

You may save weekly availability, time zone, sport, preferred level, singles/doubles preference, city, and travel radius separately for each sport. You may optionally supply a ZIP code or location to calculate an approximate center. The location is rounded before storage; the submitted ZIP is not retained in these preferences. When a ZIP is supplied, the existing ZIP lookup providers receive it to resolve the center. Your preferences are private. If you explicitly opt in and your public profile is visible, signed-in players with compatible preferences may see your public profile, city, skill rating, approximate distance, and a shared availability time. Your exact coordinates and complete weekly schedule are not included in suggestions. Blocking a player or hiding your public profile removes you from their suggestions. Delete per-sport preferences from Play or delete your account to remove these records. Weekly posts are separate play requests; each has independent confirmations and notifications.
