SQUADYSquady Privacy Policy
Effective: 15 November 2026
Squady is a scoring and ranking app for badminton, pickleball, table tennis and squash for iPhone, Android, Apple Watch and Wear OS, run by Tuhin Rawat in India ("we"). This policy explains what we collect, why, who can see it, and the choices you have.
The short version
- You sign in with your mobile number. It is never shown to other players.
- Other players can see your name, picture, area and rating. They see your area, never your address or your pincode.
- Anyone who already has your mobile number can find your Squady profile by searching for it.
- Matches set up as public show in Nearby to players in the same area: names, area, venue and score. Whoever sets up the match can turn this off; invites say when a match is public.
- We don't sell your data, and there are no ads.
- You can delete your account at any time in the app (Profile › Delete account).
What we collect, and who can see it
| What | Who can see it | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile number | You and us. Never shown to other players | To sign you in, and so people who know your number can add you to a match |
| Date of birth | You and us | To check you are 18 or older |
| Gender (optional) | You and us | To suggest default avatars |
| Name, profile photo or avatar | Other Squady players | So players can find and recognise each other |
| Country (worked out from your mobile number's country code) | You and us | To place you in your country's ranking |
| Pincode (players in India only) | You and us | To place you in your area, district and state rankings |
| Area and district (worked out from your pincode) | Other Squady players | Shown in rankings and player search |
| Playing hand, position and style (optional) | Other Squady players | Part of your player card |
| Matches you play: line-up, format, the score of each rally, and the optional "how it was won" reason | The players in that match and anyone following it live. A public match (the player who sets it up decides; on by default) can also be followed by signed-in players in the same area: names, area, venue if given, and the live score | Live scores, results, stats and settling disputes |
| Results and disputes | The players in that match | Confirming results and keeping scoring fair |
| Fair-play strikes | You and us | Keeping scoring fair |
| Reports you make, and players you block | Us. A reported or blocked player isn't told who it was | Keeping Squady safe. We may remove a reported photo or name, or close an account |
| Rating and ranking | Other Squady players | Rankings. Ratings may be reset from time to time |
| Devices and their notification tokens | Us | Knowing which device is scoring a match, and sending notifications |
| The date you accepted this policy, and its version | Us | A record of your consent |
Matches are also stored on your phone, and on your watch while it is scoring. Signing out or deleting your account clears them from that phone. Your phone and watch talk to each other directly (Apple WatchConnectivity, Google Wear OS Data Layer), not through our server.
Information about other people
- Guests. If you add someone who isn't on Squady, the name you type is stored with the match and seen by its players. Please only enter names the person would be comfortable with.
- Pick from contacts. This uses your phone's own contact picker. Squady cannot read your address book. Only the one number you choose comes to the app, and it is used to search for that player. We don't save it.
Services we use
We share only what each service needs to do its job:
| Service | What it does | What it receives | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Hosts our database, sign-in and photos | The account and match data above | Mumbai, India |
| Twilio | Sends your sign-in code by SMS | Your mobile number | May be outside India |
| Apple Push Notification service and Google Firebase Cloud Messaging | Deliver notifications (invites, results to check, reminders, disputes) | A device token and the notification text, which can include players' names | May be outside India |
| Sentry | Crash reports | What the app was doing in its code, the app version, device model and system version. No names, phone numbers or health data | United States |
| PostHog | Usage statistics, such as "a match was started" or "a result was submitted", with details like how long setup took and how many points were played | A random device ID or your player ID. Never your name or phone number | United States |
Apple (TestFlight, App Store) and Google (Google Play) may also give us basic crash reports and usage statistics under their own policies.
We may share information if the law requires it. By using Squady you agree that the services above may process your data outside India where shown.
Apple Health
On Apple Watch, Squady asks permission to save each match as a workout for the sport played (badminton, pickleball, table tennis or squash), including active energy, and to read your heart rate and active energy during it. Scoring works whether or not you allow this.
Health data stays in Apple Health on your devices. We don't send it to our server, and we don't use it for advertising. You can change these permissions in the Health app, or in Settings › Privacy & Security › Health.
Notifications
Squady asks before sending notifications. You can turn them off at any time in your phone's settings.
How long we keep your data
- Your account and matches are kept until you delete your account.
- After that, your matches stay for the other players, without your name (see below).
- When you delete your account, we ask PostHog to delete the usage statistics linked to your player ID. Crash reports, and statistics from before you signed in, aren't linked to your account and are kept by Sentry and PostHog under their retention settings.
- Matches stored on your phone stay until you delete the app.
Your choices and rights
You can:
- See and correct your details in the app (Profile › Edit profile).
- Delete your account in the app (Profile › Delete account). This permanently removes your sign-in, mobile number, profile, photo, rating, strikes and devices from our server, and we ask PostHog to delete the usage statistics linked to your player ID. Your name in past matches is replaced with "Deleted player", and those matches stay for the other players. Reports about you are deleted, and reports you made are kept without your name.
- Delete your account without the app, by emailing us from any address with the mobile number on the account. We will confirm the request is yours before deleting anything.
- Withdraw your consent at any time by deleting your account.
- Ask us for a copy of your data, to remove a guest name you were entered under, to nominate someone to act for you, or to raise a complaint, using the contact below.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
Workouts saved to Apple Health can be deleted in the Health app.
Security
All connections between the app and our server are encrypted, and access rules on the server keep your private details (such as your mobile number and date of birth) out of reach of other players. No system is perfectly secure, but we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires if a breach affects your data.
Children
Squady is for adults (18 and over). We check your date of birth at sign-up and don't knowingly let anyone younger join. If you think a child has signed up, contact us and we will delete the account.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date above and, for important changes, tell you in the app.
