Privacy Policy — READYPLAY

What we collect

READYPLAY collects only what is needed to run your games and build your reputation:

Account identity — When you sign in with Apple, we receive a stable anonymous identifier and, if you choose, your name and email. We never see your Apple ID password.
Game data — Scores, rosters, shot events, fouls, and post-game reviews you participate in or create.
Location — Used for court discovery, weather context on the Home screen, and optional check-in confirmation when you are physically at a play site. Precise location is never stored on our servers without your explicit consent.
Health & fitness — The Apple Watch app can record an active workout to Apple Health while a game is live. This data stays on your device and in your iCloud Health store; READYPLAY does not transmit it externally.
Contacts — Used only to help you add players to a game by name. We read contact names locally; we do not upload your address book.
Analytics — Anonymized crash reports and feature-usage events (via PostHog, self-hosted) to improve the app. No ad-targeting data is collected.

How we use it

Your data is used to operate the platform: running games, building leaderboards, calculating your OVR rating, and delivering peer reviews. We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use it to build targeting profiles.

Game records are stored in iCloud (CloudKit) under your Apple ID. Public game data (scores, leaderboards) may be visible to other READYPLAY users who played in the same run or follow your profile.

iCloud and CloudKit

READYPLAY uses Apple's CloudKit infrastructure. Your private game history and profile are stored in your private iCloud container and are not accessible to other users. Spectator broadcasts and league discovery use CloudKit's public database; only the game score and invite code are shared, not personal details.

Verification

Optional identity verification is used to prevent impersonation, reconcile duplicate athlete records, and support trusted or age-restricted experiences. A profile-photo review is separate from government-document verification.

For document verification, READYPLAY may use Stripe Identity to collect a live image of a supported passport, driver's license, or identity card and compare it with a selfie. Stripe processes that sensitive material under its own privacy policy. READYPLAY stores only the minimum verification result it needs: verified name and date of birth, an opaque provider reference, document type, issuing-country code, verification time, and optional expiry date. READYPLAY does not download or retain the document number, document image, selfie, portrait, or full provider report.

If Verify with Wallet becomes available in a future approved iOS build, Apple will show exactly which identity fields READYPLAY requests. The encrypted response must be validated on READYPLAY's server before it can create a verified fact; a device-only success screen is not treated as verification. People without a supported Wallet credential will have an equivalent document-verification route.

Data retention

Your game history and profile data are retained for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at the address below. Local device data can be removed by deleting the app.

Children

READYPLAY is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from users under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when the policy changes. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the app after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
