Bracket Night: Score Keeper – Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026

This policy explains how the Bracket Night: Score Keeper app (the "App") handles information. The App is published on Google Play by Sce Apps (developer: Sıtkı Can Erzurum, Türkiye), package name com.sceapps.bracketnight. Contact: cnerzurum@gmail.com

1. Summary

  • There is no account or sign-up. We never ask for your name, email address or phone number.
  • Your players, teams, tournaments, scores and settings are stored only on your device. We do not run servers that store them.
  • Player names, team names and tournament names are never sent to us or to any analytics or ad service.
  • The App works without internet. Internet is used only for ads, usage statistics and purchases.
  • The App is free and shows ads provided by Google AdMob. The optional one-time purchase Bracket Night Pro removes ads.
  • To improve the App we collect usage statistics with Google Analytics for Firebase.
  • The App is not directed to children under 13.

2. Data stored on your device

The App saves the following on your device so that it can work:

  • the names of players and teams you enter, and their statistics (matches played, wins, titles, head-to-head records);
  • your tournaments: name, game, format, rules, schedule, court names, match results and scores;
  • quick matches you played and the match in progress (so you can continue after closing the App);
  • your settings: theme, language, vibration, sounds, voice score, score screen colors, reminders;
  • whether you own Bracket Night Pro, and simple app counters (first opening date, number of finished tournaments and matches, review prompt counter).

You can delete players, tournaments and matches in the App. All data is deleted when you uninstall the App or clear its data. If Android backup is turned on for your device, Android may include this data in your Google account backup; that backup is managed by Google.

3. Permissions and how they are used

  • Notifications: asked only if you choose a start reminder for a tournament, or to send one gentle reminder about an unfinished tournament (this can be turned off in Settings). You can turn notifications off in your phone's settings at any time.
  • Vibration: for button feedback (can be turned off in Settings).
  • Internet and network state: needed for ads, usage statistics and purchases. Score keeping and tournaments work without internet.
  • Advertising ID (AD_ID): used by Google's ad and analytics services described below. You can reset or delete it in your device settings (Settings > Privacy > Ads).

The App does not access your contacts, photos, camera, microphone or location.

4. Files you choose, sharing and backups

  • Importing players: you can paste a list of names or pick a text/CSV file. The file is read on your device only to get the names and is not sent anywhere.
  • Sharing: when you share a bracket image, standings, a PDF, a spreadsheet (CSV) or a champion card, the App creates the file on your device and opens Android's share window. The file goes only to the app or person you choose, under that app's own policy.
  • Backup and restore (Pro): "Back up to a file" writes one file with your players, tournaments and settings to the location you pick (for example your phone storage or a cloud folder). The App does not send this file anywhere else. Keep it somewhere safe.

5. Voice score, sounds and home screen widgets

  • Voice score (Pro): to call the score aloud, the App passes the score and, where needed, player or team names to the text-to-speech engine installed on your phone (for example Speech Services by Google or your phone maker's engine), which turns it into speech on your device. The text-to-speech engine is provided by a third party and is subject to its own privacy policy.
  • Sound effects (whistle, horn, bell) are played from files inside the App.
  • Widgets show your next match and a quick match button on your home screen. Anyone who can see your home screen can see the names shown there.

6. Advertising (Google AdMob)

If you do not own Bracket Night Pro, the App shows banner ads and full-screen (interstitial) ads from Google AdMob, and you can choose to watch a rewarded ad to try a Pro feature once. To show and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect information from your device such as the advertising ID, IP address (which can be used to estimate your approximate location), device and app information, and how you interact with ads. Ads may be personalized only where the law allows it and, where required, only with your consent. Ads are never shown on the score screen, in the bracket view, in TV mode or on the champion screen.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the App shows Google's consent form before requesting ads. Where US state privacy laws apply, the App can show Google's US privacy message, where you can opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for personalized ads. You can change your choices at any time in Settings > Privacy options.

More information: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

7. Usage statistics (Google Analytics for Firebase)

We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the App is used and to improve it. It records events such as: the App was opened, a quick match or tournament was started or finished, a match result was saved or corrected, a bracket was shared (and in which format), TV mode or the Pro screen was opened, a setting or theme was changed, a widget was used, players were imported (how many), and whether an ad was shown. Events contain only general details, for example the game, the tournament format, the number of players and the share format. Player names, team names, tournament names and scores of individual people are never included.

Firebase also collects some information automatically, such as an app instance ID, device model, operating system and app version, country or region, and session information. This data is processed by Google and kept for a limited period according to Google Analytics retention settings. Where consent is required, analytics storage follows your choice in the consent form.

More information: Privacy and security in Firebase.

8. Purchases (Bracket Night Pro)

Bracket Night Pro is a one-time purchase (no subscription) made through Google Play. Payment is handled entirely by Google; we never see your card or payment details. The App only receives a confirmation from Google Play that you own Pro, so it can unlock the Pro features and restore them on a new phone. Pro can also be unlocked with a code in Settings > Redeem code. The code is checked on your device and is not sent anywhere.

9. Ratings

The App may show Google Play's own rating window. Your rating and review are sent to Google Play, not to us.

10. Sharing and selling of data

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with anyone except through the Google services described above (AdMob, Firebase, Google Play), which act under their own privacy policies.

11. Security

Data on your device stays inside the App's private storage, which other apps cannot read. Data sent to Google services is sent over encrypted connections.

12. Your choices and rights

  • Change your ad consent or US privacy choices in Settings > Privacy options (where available).
  • Reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings.
  • Turn notifications on or off in your phone's settings at any time.
  • Delete players, tournaments and matches in the App, clear the App's data, or uninstall the App to remove all data from your device.
  • Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, US state privacy laws such as the CCPA/CPRA, or Türkiye's KVKK), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data, to object to its processing, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. Because we do not keep your data on our own servers, most requests concern data held by Google; contact us and we will help.

13. Children

The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the App changes. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the latest version.
