Privacy policy

B Side Sports

Effective 17 September 2026. Applies to the B Side Sports app for iPhone and iPad (bundle id com.dog.side.bsports) and to this website.

The short version

B Side Sports does not collect, transmit or sell any personal data. The app has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no third-party tracking SDKs. Everything you create in the app stays in the app's private storage on your device. The only time information reaches us is when you choose to write to us yourself.

Data stored on your device

DataWhy it existsWhere it goes
Athlete name, tagline, hometownShown on your Athlete CardDevice only
Portrait photoShown on your Athlete Card and in cards you choose to exportDevice only (a resized JPEG copy inside the app container)
Highlight photos and captionsYour personal journal of roundsDevice only
Round history, ratings, XP, coins, streak, trophies, challenges, cosmeticsCareer progressionDevice only
Settings (music, sound, haptics, layout)Remember your preferencesDevice only (UserDefaults)

This data is part of your normal device backup (iCloud or encrypted computer backup) under Apple's terms and is restored with it. Deleting the app, or using Settings → Reset career, removes it.

Camera and photo library

The camera opens only when you tap Camera to take a portrait or a highlight photo. The photo library opens only when you tap Library, through the system photo picker, which shows the app only the single image you select. Images are copied into the app; your originals are never modified or deleted. You can revoke access at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security. If you export an Athlete Card and choose to save it, the app writes that one image to your photo library.

Sharing what you make

Exporting an Athlete Card or a highlight uses the standard iOS share sheet. Nothing is uploaded by the app: the image goes only to the destination you pick, and from that point the receiving app or service handles it under its own terms.

Support requests

If you use the support form on this website or email us, we receive the address you type, the reason you select and the text of your message. We use them for one purpose only — to read your request and reply to it. They are not used for marketing, not enriched with data from anywhere else and not shared with third parties beyond the mail provider that carries the message. Correspondence is kept for up to 24 months so we can follow up on a reported issue, then deleted. To have an earlier message deleted, ask us and we will remove it.

What we do not do

The app's privacy manifest declares no tracking and no collected data types. Its App Store privacy label is “Data Not Collected”.

Your rights

Because the app keeps your career on your own device, you already hold every copy of it: you can view it in the app, export cards and highlights, and erase all of it with Settings → Reset career or by deleting the app. For anything you have sent us by email or through the support form, you can ask for a copy, a correction or deletion at the address below.

Children

The app is suitable for all ages and collects no data from anyone, including children. We do not knowingly accept support messages from children under 13; if one reaches us, we delete it.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new effective date. Questions: [email protected], or use the support form.
