Bowling Tracker — Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 20, 2026

Summary

Bowling Tracker does not collect, transmit, or receive your data on the developer's servers. All roster and scoring data stays on your device or in your personal iCloud account. There are no analytics, tracking, or advertising features in the App.

Data stored on your device

Rosters, match scores, telemetry, and settings are stored locally using Apple's SwiftData framework. This data never leaves your device unless you choose to share it (see below).

Data stored in iCloud (optional)

If you enable Live Match Scoring or coach-to-coach match sharing, the App uses Apple's CloudKit to sync data through your iCloud account. This data is stored in Apple's iCloud infrastructure under your Apple ID and is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. The developer of Bowling Tracker cannot access this data.

Sharing you initiate

The App allows you to share data with other users by generating QR codes, iCloud share links, exporting files (CSV, JSON, PDF), or publishing to Google Sheets. When you initiate a share, you control who receives the data and where it goes. The developer is not a party to those transfers.

Camera and photos

If you use the optional Lane Camera feature, video is processed entirely on your device using Apple's Vision framework. No video or images are transmitted off-device or stored by the developer.

Push notifications

If you accept notifications in the parent-mode Live Match Scoring feature, notifications are delivered via Apple Push Notification service triggered by CloudKit. The developer does not send notifications directly.

In-app purchases

Purchases are handled by Apple. The developer receives only the anonymized transaction identifier necessary to unlock the purchased feature. No payment information is visible to the developer.

Children's data

The App is designed for use by high school bowling coaches, who may enter roster information for their student athletes. The developer does not knowingly collect data directly from children under 13. Coaches are responsible for obtaining any consent required by their school, district, or applicable law (e.g., FERPA, COPPA) before entering student data into the App.

Live Match Scoring

Live Match Scoring publishes match data to audiences outside the App.

Bowling Tracker offers optional Live Match Scoring features that share match data as you score:

• Google Sheets Live Feed (optional, coach-configured) — publishes scoreboard updates to a Google Sheet you create and control. Anyone with the Sheet's view link can see the published data.
• Parent Live Scoring (optional, coach-configured) — publishes scoreboard updates to invited parent devices via Apple's iCloud sharing.

Published data may include: your team name, the opponent team name(s), the squad name, the tournament name (if applicable), match date, venue/location, oil pattern, roster-pool designation (Boys/Girls), game and series scores, and — where the coach has entered them — the names of players on both teams.

Data sent through the Google Sheets Live Feed is transmitted to Google and stored in your Google account. Google's handling of that data is subject to Google's own terms and privacy policy.

Player-name handling is controlled by the coach.

• Your own players' names appear as entered in your roster.
• Opponent player names appear as the coach types them into the opponent lineup during scoring. If an opponent bowler's name field is left blank, the App substitutes a generic position label (for example, "Bowler 3" or "Sub 1") in its place. If a coach prefers not to publish an opponent's real name, they should leave the field blank or enter an alias.
