This is the privacy policy for Squadel, an app for organising casual padel with friends, available on iPhone, Apple Watch and Android. It explains what data the app handles and what we do — and don't do — with it.
The plain version: we store only what's needed to run your games and squads. We don't sell your data, show ads, or train anything on it.
Who we are
Squadel is published by reiss.dev, the data controller. Reach us at reiss.barran@gmail.com for any privacy or data question.
What we store
Squadel signs you in with Apple on iPhone and with Google on Android, so we receive a user identifier from Apple or Google plus the name and email address you choose to share. To run the app, our backend (hosted on Supabase, in the EU) stores:
- Your profile — display name, username, optional avatar, and your availability preferences;
- Your squads and who's in them;
- Games, RSVPs, and the court cost / “who paid” ledger;
- Match scores and the stats derived from them;
- Social content you create — reactions, comments, squad chat messages, and RSVP notes;
- A device push token, so we can send game notifications.
Phone contacts (optional)
If you choose “Find from contacts”, we compute a one-way hash (SHA-256) of phone numbers to match friends who already use Squadel. We store the hash of your own number so others can find you — never your actual contacts or their numbers. You can skip this entirely.
Apple Health and Health Connect (optional)
If you allow it, Squadel reads your padel/tennis workouts — from Apple Health on iPhone, or Health Connect on Android — to show your time on court, distance, calories and heart rate. This is read-only and used only to draw those figures on your own screen: the data stays on your device, is never sent to our servers, and is never shared with anyone. Squadel never writes health data back. You can revoke access at any time in iOS Settings → Health, or in the Health Connect app on Android.
Who can see your data
The point of Squadel is sharing within your squad: your squad-mates see your name, avatar, availability, games, scores, and anything you post. We don't share your data with anyone outside that, except the service providers that make the app work — Supabase (backend hosting), Apple and Google (push notification delivery, via APNs and Firebase Cloud Messaging), RevenueCat (subscription entitlements) and Anthropic (see below) — who process it on our behalf and on our instructions.
AI recaps
When a recap is written for a match, session or month, our server sends the relevant facts — players' display names, scores, and the statistics we computed from them — to Anthropic's API, which turns them into readable prose. No email addresses, phone hashes, chat messages or health data are included. Anthropic processes this on our behalf and does not use it to train models.
Calendar feed
If you subscribe to your Squadel calendar, we serve your upcoming games as a calendar feed at a private, unguessable link. Anyone with that link can see those game times and places, so keep it to yourself — you can reset the link in the app at any time to revoke it.
What we never do
We don't sell your data, run advertising, or use your content to train machine-learning models.
Keeping and deleting your data
We keep your data while your account is active. Deleting your account (in the app, under You) removes your login and personal details; your name is wiped from past games, which remain in your squads' shared history without identifying you. You can also request access to, or deletion of, your data by emailing us. Full details, including what is kept and for how long, are on the Delete your account page.
Children
Squadel isn't intended for anyone under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We don't knowingly collect data from children.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under GDPR), you have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Email us and we'll help.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that affects your data or rights, we'll surface it in-app before it takes effect.
