Lacrosse Tracker

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 22, 2026

Summary

Lacrosse Tracker stores your game data locally on your device. On Android and iOS, the data is included in the device's standard backup so you don't lose your games when you switch phones. Anonymous usage analytics are sent from the mobile apps and the web version — no personal data, no game content, no rosters. On the web you can opt out by enabling your browser's Global Privacy Control or "Do Not Track" setting.

Data Storage

All game data, team rosters, player statistics, and settings are stored in a local SQLite database on your device. Game content never leaves your device for primary storage; the app works entirely offline.

On the web/PWA version, that SQLite database is itself persisted to your browser's IndexedDB. There is no automatic cloud backup on the web — the only off-device path is the manual export feature below.

Backups (Android)

The Android app participates in Android's standard Google Auto Backup. When your phone backs itself up to your Google account (typically over Wi-Fi while charging), the app's SQLite database is included so you can restore your games when you set up a new device. The backup is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest (Google's standard infrastructure encryption) — Google manages those keys, we do not. You can opt out of Auto Backup for this app from your phone's Settings → Google → Backup → App data screen.

The Android app is also included in Google's device-to-device transfer (Quick Switch / cable transfer) when you set up a new phone next to your old one.

Backups (iOS)

The iOS app stores its SQLite database in the app's own Documents folder, which Apple includes in the device backup. So when your iPhone or iPad backs itself up — to iCloud, or to a Mac or PC — your games are included, and restoring that backup onto a new device brings them back. Apple manages those backups and their encryption; we never see them. You can opt out for this app under Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → Backups on the device.

The database is private to the app: it is not exposed in the Files app, and no other app can read it.

Backups (web / PWA)

The web/PWA version has no automatic cloud backup — browsers do not sync site-scoped storage to any cloud. The only off-device path is the manual export feature: open the app, tap "Tools → Export", and save the JSON file wherever you want (email, Google Drive, etc.).

Anonymous Usage Analytics

The Android and iOS apps and the web version all use Google Firebase Analytics to record anonymous usage events (such as "game started", "stat recorded", "data exported"). This helps us understand which features are used and prioritise improvements. Events sent are limited to feature names and aggregate counts (e.g. number of players on a created team). They never include:

Firebase additionally collects standard technical information (device model, OS version, app version, language, approximate country from IP address, and a pseudonymous app-instance identifier). On the web this identifier is stored in a Google Analytics cookie so returning visits can be counted. This data is governed by Google's Firebase privacy policy.

The apps do not use the advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, Advertising ID on Android) and do not track you across other apps or websites.

Opting out: on the web, the app honours your browser's Global Privacy Control and "Do Not Track" signals — with either enabled, no analytics events are sent and no analytics cookie is set. On Android and iOS, uninstalling the app stops all analytics.

Page-View Statistics (web)

The website and the web app additionally use Cloudflare Web Analytics for aggregate page-view counts and performance measurements. Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless and does not build visitor profiles, fingerprint devices, or track you across sites.

What we do NOT do

Data Export

The app includes an export feature that creates a JSON file on your device. This file stays on your device unless you choose to share it. Import reads a file you select from your device.

Third-Party Services

The app uses Google Firebase Analytics (Android, iOS and web) and Cloudflare Web Analytics (web pages) as described above. No other third-party services, SDKs, or APIs are used.

Children's Privacy

The app is a tool for coaches and parents to track lacrosse statistics. It does not collect personal data from children or anyone else; analytics events are anonymous and do not identify individuals.
