Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 28, 2026 · Developer: Backcheck Labs
Apps Covered By This Policy
This policy applies to both BackCheck Labs Team (whole-team hockey stat tracking) and BackCheck Labs Goalie (goalie-only stat tracking). The privacy practices below apply to both apps unless explicitly noted otherwise.
The Short Version
Neither app collects, transmits, or shares any personal information. All data you enter is stored locally on your device. Backcheck Labs never has access to your data.
What We Collect
Nothing. Backcheck Labs does not collect, store, or have access to any data you enter into either BackCheck Labs Team or BackCheck Labs Goalie.
Where Your Data Lives
All data you create — teams, rosters, goalie profiles, games, and statistics — is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. It is never transmitted to Backcheck Labs or to any third party, and we have no way to access it.
Device backups. Like most app data, this store is included in your device's normal backup — iCloud Backup if you have it switched on, or an encrypted backup to your computer. Those backups are created and encrypted by Apple under your Apple Account; Backcheck Labs has no access to them and no involvement in that process. If you would rather your stats were not in an iCloud backup, you can turn it off for the app in Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → Backups.
Your app preferences (such as which stats to display) are stored in your device's standard preferences storage and remain on your device only.
Purchases & Subscriptions
Both apps use Apple's App Store for all transactions. When you make a purchase:
- Payment is handled by Apple through the App Store
- We never see your payment information, Apple ID, or billing details
- Apple's privacy policy governs all purchase transactions
Pricing differs between apps: BackCheck Labs Team offers a free 5-game trial and a $9.99/year auto-renewing Pro subscription. BackCheck Labs Goalie is a $1.99 USD ($2.99 CAD) one-time purchase with no subscription. You can manage or cancel any subscription via Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your device.
Trial Period (Team App Only)
BackCheck Labs Team includes a free 5-game trial. The trial game counter is stored in your device's secure Keychain — a protected, encrypted storage area managed by iOS. It is not synced to iCloud Keychain and is never transmitted to us — it is a single number, tied to this device. BackCheck Labs Goalie has no trial; it is a one-time purchase.
Analytics & Tracking
Neither app uses analytics tools, crash reporters, advertising networks, or tracking technologies. We have no visibility into how you use the app.
Data Sharing
We do not share any data with third parties because we do not collect any data to share.
Children's Privacy
Neither app collects personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Both apps are appropriate for all ages.
Your Data, Your Control
All data is stored locally on your device. The apps have no account system, no server, and no cloud sync. You have full control:
- View your data — it's all visible within the app
- Delete your data — delete the app to remove all associated data from your device. Note that a copy may persist in an existing device backup until that backup is replaced or deleted.
- Export your data — use the in-app report export feature (Team app exports full game and season reports; Goalie app exports goalie stat summaries)
Support & Contact Communications
If you contact us by email for support or other inquiries, we will receive your email address and the contents of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your request and is not shared with third parties, used for marketing, or retained beyond the time needed to resolve your inquiry.
Changes to This Policy
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the effective date above. Since we collect no data, changes are unlikely to affect your privacy.
