Privacy Policy — The92 (Ground Hopper)

Effective date: 10 July 2026

The92 (“the app”, “we”, “us”) is a football ground-hopping app that lets you track the grounds you’ve visited, log the matches you’ve been to, and follow clubs’ fixtures, results and tables. It is local-first: by default your data stays on your device. Optional account features let you back up your data and share some of it with friends you choose. This policy explains exactly what happens to your information.

The short version

What we store on your device

The following are saved locally on your device (Apple’s on-device database) and stay under your control:

This information is not transmitted to us and is not backed up to any server we control. It’s part of your device’s normal iCloud/device backups only if you’ve turned those Apple features on — which is between you and Apple.

Photos

When you add a photo to a match, you pick it through Apple’s standard photo picker. The app receives only the photo(s) you choose, stores them on your device with that match, and never uploads them. The app does not request access to your whole photo library.

Information that leaves your device (and what doesn’t)

To show live football data, the app makes read-only requests to the services below. These fetch public football information and images — they do not include your visits, matches, photos, or any personal data:

As with any internet request, those servers necessarily see standard technical information such as your IP address and device/OS type for the duration of the request. We don’t use it to identify you or combine it with anything. Those providers handle it under their own privacy policies.

Accounts and social features (optional — only if you sign in)

You can use the whole app with no account. If you choose Sign in with Apple, we create an account identified by the ID Apple gives us (we do not receive your real email if you use Apple’s Private Relay). Signing in enables, and stores on our backend (Supabase):

Access is protected by per-user security rules so people can only see their own data and what their accepted friends have chosen to share. You can sign out at any time, and you can delete your account and its data from inside the app (Account → Delete account).

Distances and your postcode

To show how far a ground is from you, you can optionally enter a postcode in Settings. It is stored only on your device and is never sent to The 92. To turn it into distances we pass it (and ground coordinates) to Apple’s Maps/geocoding services, under Apple’s privacy terms. Leave the postcode blank and distances simply don’t show.

Matchday radar (optional, off by default)

If you turn on Matchday radar (Settings → Matchday radar), the app asks iOS for “While Using the App” location permission. When you open the app, it takes a single location reading and compares it — entirely on your device — against the ground coordinates already bundled with the app. If you’re at a ground that has a fixture that day, the app shows a card offering to log the match. Your location is never stored, never sent to The 92, and never shared; the only network request involved is the same public fixtures lookup the app already makes. Leave the feature off (or decline the permission) and the app never touches your location. You can revoke the permission at any time in iOS Settings.

What we do NOT do

TestFlight betas

While the app is in TestFlight beta testing, Apple may collect crash logs and basic usage information to help us fix problems, under Apple’s terms and privacy policy — not ours. You can read those in the TestFlight app.

Your choices and control

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.

Changes to this policy

If we change how the app handles data (for example, if we later add optional accounts or a “see friends’ progress” feature), we’ll update this policy and the date above, and — where appropriate — ask for your consent in the app before any new data is shared.
