Privacy Policy
- There is no account. We don't know who you are.
- Your teams, alerts and calendar events stay on your phone.
- No tracking, no analytics and no ads.
Sports Watcher is an app for iPhone and Android that shows fixtures, scores and standings for the teams and leagues you follow, and reminds you before they play. This policy explains what the app does with your information. The short answer is: almost nothing, and none of it leaves your phone.
No account
You don't sign up or log in. The app doesn't ask for your name, email address, phone number or any other detail about you.
What stays on your phone
Everything you set up in the app is saved only on your device:
- the teams and leagues you follow
- your alert settings, and the games you mute or keep
- the calendar events the app adds, if you turn on calendar sync
Alerts are scheduled by your phone itself. If you turn on calendar sync, the app writes games into a calendar you choose. If that calendar syncs to a service such as iCloud or Google Calendar, that service's own privacy policy applies to it. Deleting the app removes its data from your phone. Calendar events it added stay in your calendar until you delete them.
Fixtures from our server
To show fixtures, scores, standings and team crests, the app asks our server at api.sportswatcher.ai. These requests only ask for sports data, such as "Flamengo's games this week". They don't say which teams you follow, and they carry no identifier for you or your phone.
Like any server on the internet, ours sees the IP address a request comes from. We use it only to limit how many requests one connection can make per minute, which keeps the service working for everyone. We don't store IP addresses, and we don't write them to logs. Our logs record only which kind of data was asked for and whether the request worked.
The server runs on Cloudflare, which carries the traffic for us. Cloudflare handles it under its own privacy policy.
Where the data comes from
Fixtures, scores, standings and crests come from API-Sports. Our server fetches the data from API-Sports and passes it on to the app. Your phone never contacts API-Sports directly, and API-Sports never sees your IP address.
No tracking, analytics or ads
The app has no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and no third-party code that does any of these. We don't collect, sell or share any data about you, because we don't have any.
Children
The app collects no personal information from anyone, children included.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
