Do we collect information from you? - Yes, in some cases, depending on the features you choose to use. See below for exactly what is collected and why.
Do we use cookies? - No, ArcheryLink does not use cookies.
What is stored on your device? - The rounds and scores you create are stored in this app's private storage area, which only ArcheryLink can access. This is not separately encrypted by ArcheryLink, but benefits from your device's own disk encryption when your device is locked or protected by a passcode.
GPS location (optional) - If you choose to record a location for a round, your coordinates and a generated map image are stored on your device with that round. Fetching the map image sends those coordinates to Google's Maps service. This location is not sent to Golden Records.
Golden Records (a third party) - If you choose to link a Golden Records account, your Golden Records username and password, your club, your selected age category and gender category, and your completed scorecards (including any scoresheet image or PDF you choose to upload) are sent to Golden Records, in order to manage your scores, score history, and Archery GB classifications and handicaps. Your username and password are securely stored in Apple's "Keychain" technology, and can be deleted at any time from the main menu/settings "Delete login data held in keychain". This information is only sent if you choose to use Golden Records, and its use by Golden Records is governed by their own privacy policy, not ours.
Archery GB - ArcheryLink does not send data to, or receive data from, Archery GB directly. Classifications and handicaps are calculated within the app using Archery GB's published tables; if you submit scores to Golden Records, any onward use by Archery GB is between Golden Records and Archery GB.
Crash reporting (optional) - If you opt in to crash reporting (you will be asked, and can change this at any time from Main Menu/Settings/Extra Settings/Enable Crashlytics), basic crash diagnostics and device information are sent to Google's Firebase Crashlytics service to help us fix bugs.
Contacting us with a diagnostic log - If you email us and choose to attach your device's log file, it is sent only to us, via your own email app, and may include technical details such as your device model. It is never sent automatically.
Backups and exports - ArcheryLink does not operate its own backend server. Any backup, exported analysis file, or screenshot you create is saved to your own device and, if you choose, your own personal cloud storage (such as iCloud) - ArcheryLink has no access to these once exported.
iCloud backup - ArcheryLink also keeps one backup copy of your rounds and scores in your own iCloud account, using Apple's CloudKit private database. This is switched on by default and can be turned off at any time with the iCloud Backup switch on the Backup screen. The copy is held in your own Apple Account and counts towards your own iCloud storage, and its handling by Apple is governed by Apple's privacy policy, not ours. It is not sent to us, we do not operate any server that receives it, and nobody other than you, including us, is able to read it. You can delete it at any time from Settings, your name, iCloud, Manage Account Storage.
Do we disclose any information to outside parties? - Only as described above: to Golden Records if you choose to use it, and to Google's Firebase Crashlytics if you opt in to crash reporting. We do not sell your information.
Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance

ArcheryLink is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from children. The data described above is only collected as a result of your own deliberate actions, such as choosing to link a Golden Records account, record a GPS location, or opt in to crash reporting.
