Privacy policy
Effective 24 September 2026. Version 1.1.
Squadcard lets a group of friends rate each other after a game and turns those ratings into player cards. That only works if the squad’s data is shared between its members, so, unlike an offline app, Squadcard keeps your squad’s data on a server. This page says exactly what, why, and how to get rid of it.
The short version: we store what the squad needs to play and rate, we never show anyone how an individual person voted, there are no ads and no tracking, and you can delete your account from inside the app.
Who is responsible
Squadcard is made and published by an independent developer, Ignacio Uliczki, who is the data controller for the information described here. For any question, or to use any of the rights below, email steadyhabit.support@gmail.com.
What we store
Your account
- Accounts. Organisers sign in, on iPhone or on the web; players may too. With Apple we receive a unique Apple identifier and, only if you choose to share them, your name and an email address (which can be Apple’s private relay address). With Google we receive a unique Google identifier, your name and your email address. We use them only to sign you in and to keep one account across the website and the app; we never get your password.
- Players who vote from a link have no account. Your browser keeps a cookie that says which player you are in that squad, and nothing else.
- Your year of birth, to confirm you are at least 13.
What you and your squad add
- Squad names, crests, fixtures, venues and the pitch fee.
- Player names, positions, preferred foot and an optional photo for your card.
- Who played, the teams, the score, and any goals or assists entered.
- Votes: the 1 to 10 ratings, player-of-the-match picks and tags you give other players.
- Pitch-fee tracking: amounts a player owes and whether they have paid. Squadcard never moves money; this is a record only.
- Reports you make about a player, photo or squad, so they can be reviewed.
What we work out from that
Ratings, player card stats, form, awards, Team of the Week and season summaries.
Technical data
- A push notification token, if you allow notifications on iPhone.
- Standard server logs (IP address, time, the page or request) kept for up to 30 days for security and fixing faults.
Your votes are private
Nobody in your squad, including the organiser, can see how you rated a particular player. The app and the website only ever show averages. We use individual votes to calculate ratings and to spot votes that look like abuse (for example, one person always rating someone 1), which lowers the weight of those votes.
Who can see what
- Members of a squad see that squad’s players, cards, matches, tables, awards and pitch-fee balances.
- Cards you share are public. If you or a squad-mate share a card, Team of the Week or season image, anyone with that link or image can see the names, ratings and photos on it.
- We do not sell your data, and there is no advertising in Squadcard.
Why we use it
- To run the service you asked for (squads, voting, cards, teams, notifications). The legal basis is performing our agreement with you.
- To keep it safe and working (abuse checks, moderation of reports, security logs). The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a service that is fair and safe to use.
- To handle your subscription, if you buy Squad Pro.
Payments
Squad Pro is bought through Apple’s App Store, or on the web through a checkout run by RevenueCat and Stripe. We never see your card details. RevenueCat tells us whether a subscription is active, using the purchase record and an app user identifier.
Services that process data for us
- Vercel: hosts the website and the server, and stores photos you upload.
- Neon: runs the database, hosted in the European Union.
- RevenueCat: manages subscriptions.
- Apple: Sign in with Apple, push notifications and App Store purchases.
Each processes data only to provide its service to us. Some are based in the United States; transfers from the UK and EU rely on the standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards those providers offer.
What we don’t do
No advertising, no ad networks, no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs in the app, and no tracking across other companies’ apps or websites. This website counts page views with Vercel Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and doesn’t identify you. Squadcard does not ask for App Tracking Transparency permission because it does not track you.
Camera and photos
Squadcard asks for the camera only when you choose to take a photo for your card. Photos you pick from your library go through Apple’s photo picker, which gives Squadcard only the image you choose. On iPhone the background is removed on your device before upload.
How long we keep it
- Your data stays as long as your account or your squad exists.
- Deleting your account (Settings in the app, or by emailing us) removes it permanently after a 30-day grace period in case it was a mistake. Your votes are kept only as anonymous numbers, so your squad-mates’ ratings don’t change; they can’t be linked back to you.
- On the web, “You and your data” in a squad deletes your details straight away: your name becomes “Former player”, your birth year is deleted, you leave the squad, and the votes you cast become anonymous numbers. The same page lets you download everything we hold about you (JSON). See how to delete your data.
- An organiser can remove a player, and a player can leave a squad at any time.
- Server logs are deleted after 30 days. Backups roll over within 30 days.
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask for a copy of your data (the app also has an export button), ask us to correct or delete it, object to how we use it, or ask us to restrict it. If you are in the UK or EU you also have the right to complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO). If you are in California, you have the right to know, delete and correct your information; we do not sell or share it for advertising. We will answer within 30 days.
Children
Squadcard is for people aged 13 and over. We don’t knowingly collect data from younger children, and if we learn we have, we delete it.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we’ll say so in the app before it takes effect. The version and date at the top always show the current one.
