Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

Gameday ("we", "us") makes a live scoring and team management app for baseball and softball teams. This policy explains what information the app collects, why, and what control you have over it. Plain language, no tricks.

The short version. We collect the minimum needed to run your team's games and stats. We do not sell your information, we do not show ads, and we do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers. You can export or delete your team's data.

What we collect

Information you give us

Account details — an email address and password if you create an account. Fans can watch without an account at all.
Team and roster information — team name, player names, jersey numbers, positions, bats/throws, and any optional profile details a player or coach chooses to enter.
Game data — scores, plays, statistics, lineups, schedules, game locations, and availability responses.
Messages — team chat messages, announcements and poll responses you send in the app.
Optional uploads — a team logo, or files you import such as a schedule PDF or a roster export from another app.

Information collected automatically

Basic technical data needed to run the service — device and browser type, and error diagnostics when something breaks.
An anonymous identifier so viewers can follow a live game without signing up. If you later create an account, that identifier is linked to it.
Push notification tokens, only if you turn on notifications.

We do not collect precise device location. Game locations are field names or addresses that a coach types in.

How we use it

To run the app — scoring, stats, standings, schedules, chat and notifications.
To show your team's information to the people you invited to your team.
To generate optional AI features you trigger, such as game recaps and player insights. Those requests are sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) to produce the text and are not used to train anyone's models.
To fix bugs, keep the service secure, and prevent abuse.
To contact you about your team or important changes to the service.

Who can see your data

Your team — people who join your team with your invite code can see the roster, schedule, stats and chat for that team.
Your league — if your team is in a league, league standings and results are visible to that league.
The public — only what a coach or player deliberately shares: a public team or league page, a shareable player profile, or a link to a live game. These are off unless someone turns them on.
Service providers — we use Google Firebase for hosting, authentication, database and notifications, and Anthropic for AI features. They process data on our behalf under their own security commitments. We don't have any other data sharing arrangements.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising.

Children and youth players

Gameday is designed so that adults manage a minor's participation. Children do not register themselves — a parent, guardian or coach adds a player to a roster. For players under 18:

Profiles, photos and shareable links are private by default.
Public sharing of a minor's profile requires a parent or guardian to opt in.
We collect only what the game needs, and never a minor's home address or school.
The app does not create private one-to-one adult-to-child message channels.
A parent or guardian may review, correct or delete their child's information by contacting us at the address below.

If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without the required parental consent, we will delete it.

Your choices

Export. A coach can export a full season of stats as a CSV file at any time.
Correct. Roster, profile and game data can be edited in the app.
Delete. Email us to delete your account or a team's data. We'll confirm and remove it, except anything we're required to keep.
Notifications. Push notifications are off until you turn them on, and can be turned off in the app or your device settings.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights to access, correct, delete or port your information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising them. Contact us and we'll honor them.

Data retention and security

We keep your team's data for as long as the team is active, because past seasons are the point. Data is stored on Google Cloud infrastructure, encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is limited to what's needed to operate the service. No system is perfectly secure, but we don't collect anything we don't need, which is the best protection there is.

Changes

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we'll update the date at the top and tell you in the app. Continuing to use Gameday after a change means you accept the updated policy.
