Skate Tracker - Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 20, 2026

Overview

Skate Tracker is a personal skating competition and expense tracker. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how the app handles your data.

Data Collection

We do not collect any personal data. Skate Tracker does not collect, transmit, or share any information with us or any third parties.

Data Storage

All data you enter is stored locally on your device only, using Apple's SwiftData framework. Your data never leaves your device. This includes:

• Events and results - competitions, practice camps, race results, expenses, photos and notes (since v1.x).
• Trips - venues, travel legs, accommodations and boarding-pass / booking attachments (added in v2.0).
• Skater profile - name, bio, date of birth, disciplines, coach, club, country, body and gear (added in v2.1).
• Emergency contacts and memberships - names, phone numbers, sport-body membership IDs and expiry dates (added in v2.1).
• Documents and identifier numbers - when you choose to add them, PDF or image attachments and identifier numbers such as Aadhaar, SSN, passport or membership numbers (added in v2.1).
• Preferences - theme, currency, notification toggles, app icon choice.

Files (photos, attached PDFs and images) are stored as separate files in the app's Library/Application Support directory via SwiftData's external storage. iOS encrypts these files at rest when the device is locked.

iCloud Backup

When iCloud Backup is enabled in iOS Settings, your Skate Tracker data is included automatically - the same way it is for Notes, Reminders and other Apple apps. The backup is encrypted and stored in your iCloud account, controlled by Apple. Skate Tracker itself never transmits your data anywhere.

You can opt the app out of iCloud Backup at the OS level: iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → iCloud Backup → Apps Using iCloud → Show All → Skate Tracker.

Sensitive Data and Face ID

Some data introduced in v2.1 - government IDs, medical certificates, passport numbers, federation cards - is unusually sensitive. Skate Tracker treats it the same way as any other data: stored on this device, never transmitted. In addition:

• Documents can be flagged as sensitive. When the optional "Lock Identity Section" toggle is enabled in the app's Settings, opening that section of your profile requires Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode.
• Identifier numbers are displayed masked by default (e.g. ••••••••9012) with an explicit tap-to-reveal action.
• The biometric prompt is provided by Apple's LocalAuthentication framework. Your biometric data never leaves the Secure Enclave on your device. Skate Tracker does not see it.

Analytics & Tracking

Skate Tracker does not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking services. There are no third-party SDKs in the app.

Internet Access

Skate Tracker works offline for everything you enter and view about your events, results, expenses, profile and documents. The only places the app touches the internet are Apple's own map services:

• Venue map picker (added in v2.0) - when you search for or pin a venue, the app uses Apple's MapKit autocomplete and map tiles. Your search query is sent to Apple, not to us.
• "Open in Maps" - opens Apple Maps or Google Maps at a venue or hotel address.

None of these requests pass through any server controlled by the developer. They go directly between your device and Apple's services, governed by Apple's privacy practices.

Export and Import

From the app's Settings → Data & Privacy → Import & Export, you can export your competitions and expenses as CSV files and import them back. This is your manual escape hatch - your data, in a portable format. The CSV is generated on your device and shared via iOS's standard share sheet; you choose where it goes.

Children's Privacy

Skate Tracker does not collect any data from anyone, including children. The app is safe for users of all ages.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this privacy policy, the changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
