Privacy Policy for Courtzee

Last updated: May 28, 2026

The official home for Courtzee is courtzee.app.

Overview

Courtzee ("the App," "we," "us") is a tournament management app for racquet sports (padel, tennis, pickleball, and more). This policy explains what data the App collects, how it is used and shared, how long it is kept, and the choices and rights you have.

Courtzee is a cloud-connected app. When you sign in, your tournaments, players, and match data are stored in Google Firebase (Firestore) so they sync across your devices and can be shared with people you invite. This policy reflects that cloud model.

Who we are and how to contact us

Courtzee is operated by an independent developer. For privacy questions or to exercise your data rights:

Information we collect

1. Account information (from sign-in)

You can sign in with Google, Apple, or Microsoft, or continue anonymously. When you sign in with a provider, we receive and store your display name, email address, and a unique account identifier (UID) issued by Firebase Authentication. If you continue anonymously, we create an anonymous account identifier and do not receive your name or email until you choose to sign in with a provider.

2. Profile information you provide

You can add to your own profile: phone number (optional), favorite sport (optional), and an editable display name. (Profile photos are not collected in this version.)

3. Information about other people that you enter ("placeholders")

As an organizer, you can add players who do not have a Courtzee account by creating placeholder profiles. For these, you may enter the player's name, email address (optional, used to send an invite), and phone number (optional). This effectively functions as a contact list for organizers. You are responsible for having a basis to enter other people's contact information. If a placeholder's email is used to invite that person and they sign in, the placeholder is linked to their real account and the frozen historical record of past tournaments is preserved.

4. Tournament and match data

We store the tournaments, brackets, courts, entrants, scores, standings, and statistics you create or participate in.

5. Information collected automatically

How we use your information

How your information is shared

With other users

When you share or join a tournament, your display name and profile identifier are visible to the other members of that tournament. Match results you take part in are visible to those members. Your email and phone number are not shown to other members.

With service providers (third parties)

We use the following providers to operate the App, each under their own privacy terms:

See Google's Privacy Policy. We do not sell your personal information.

Payments and subscriptions

Optional paid features (Courtzee Pro subscription and one-time tournament slot packs) are processed by Google Play Billing. We never receive or store your payment card or bank details — Google handles the transaction. We receive confirmation of your entitlement (e.g., active Pro status, purchased slot credits) to unlock features and remove ads.

Push notifications

If you grant permission, we send notifications such as invite alerts, round-ready alerts, and trial/billing reminders via Firebase Cloud Messaging. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings.

Data retention

Your rights and choices

Data security

Data in transit between the App and our servers is encrypted using TLS (standard for Firebase services). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we rely on Google's managed infrastructure and least-privilege access rules to protect your data.

Children's privacy

Courtzee is intended for users 13 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact privacy@courtzee.app and we will delete it.

International users

Data is processed and stored on Google Cloud infrastructure, which may be located in the United States or other countries. By using the App you consent to this processing.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Contact

This policy is intended to be adequate for a small-scale launch and does not constitute legal advice. If the user base grows significantly (particularly in the EU/UK/California) or an organization adopts Courtzee, obtain review by a qualified privacy attorney.
