Privacy Policy
RioSport Tennis · last updated 2 October 2026
RioSport Tennis shows live tennis scores, draws, rankings and player statistics. Everything except posting in match chats works without an account, and we collect as little as possible. The app has no ads and no tracking.
What we store
- A random device ID, created by our server the first time you allow notifications. It is not linked to your name, email, Apple ID or phone number.
- Your push notification token (from Apple/Google via Firebase), so we can send the alerts you asked for.
- Your device platform, app language and time zone, so alerts and match times are shown correctly.
- The players, tournaments and matches you follow, and which alerts you want for them.
- Lock Screen scoreboards (iPhone Live Activities, Android live notification): a token from Apple that lets us update the score on your Lock Screen while a followed match is on. It is deleted when the match ends.
Your follows, language and theme are also kept on your phone. If you never allow notifications, nothing above is sent to our server.
If you sign in (optional)
You can sign in with Apple or Google to chat during matches and to sync your follows across phones. We then also store:
- Your account ID, email and name as provided by Apple or Google (Apple lets you hide your email), and the nickname you choose for chat.
- Your favourite player, shown on your chat profile card, and which player you support in a match chat.
- Your follows and alert choices, so they follow you to a new phone.
- Your match chat messages, photos and reactions. Chats are public to everyone viewing that match and are deleted 7 days after posting. Photos are resized and their location and camera data removed before anyone sees them, and they are checked automatically for prohibited content (by Amazon Rekognition, which does not keep them). Messages you report, and users you block, are kept so we can act on reports.
Poll votes (who wins the set or the match) are counted per install with a random ID, not linked to you.
What we don't do
- No ads, no advertising ID, no contacts, no precise location.
- We don't sell your data, and we don't share it except with the service providers listed below.
Service providers
- Amazon Web Services hosts our server and stores chat photos (Singapore).
- Google Firebase signs you in and delivers notifications.
- Live Tennis API provides match data. We send them no information about you.
- GIPHY serves GIFs you pick in chat; it sees your search text but not who you are.
Keeping and deleting data
Device data is deleted automatically when a notification token stops working (for example after you uninstall the app). Turning off notifications or uninstalling stops all collection. If you signed in, Profile → Delete account deletes your account, chat messages and photos, and synced follows straight away. You can also ask for deletion at info@riosport.app.
Children
RioSport Tennis is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
We'll update this page if anything changes and show the new date at the top.
