Draft, not legal advice
Last updated: October 15, 2026
This is a first draft for review, not a substitute for legal advice. It explains how CourtCritic handles information when you use our free basketball social app.
Information we collect
We collect your account email and sign-in information; profile details you provide, such as your name, handle, avatar and favorite team; game logs; ratings and reviews; chat messages; and photos you upload, including ticket photos. We also collect basic usage analytics, such as signups, games logged and stub shares, and technical information needed to operate and protect the app.
Do not upload ticket barcodes, payment details or information you do not want others to see. We do not need those details to make a digital stub.
How we use it
We use this information to create and maintain your account, save your diary, display content you choose to share, connect fans, calculate ratings and statistics, provide requested recaps, moderate content, prevent abuse and improve reliability. We use your email for account messages, replies to support requests, and updates you sign up to receive. You can ask us to stop optional updates.
We never sell personal data. We do not use private ticket codes or original private photos to create public posts without your sharing choice.
Public and private content
Your public profile, public reviews and lists, and messages you post in fan chats can be seen by other fans. Anyone who can see shared content may copy or screenshot it. Your original game-log records, ticket photos and ticket codes are owner-private. Profile totals and a public diary entry may still reveal that you watched or attended a game. When you explicitly share a review or ticket photo into chat, that shared content becomes visible to people who can read that chat.
Account emails, private recaps and private support submissions are not displayed as public posts. Staff and service providers may access information when necessary for support, security, moderation or legal obligations.
Services that help run CourtCritic
CourtCritic uses Lovable Cloud, powered by Supabase, for data hosting, storage and sign-in. Hosting and basic analytics services process information needed to deliver the app and understand its use. Email delivery providers handle messages we send. These services receive information necessary for their tasks, and their own privacy terms also apply.
When you request an AI season recap, the AI service receives selected details from your own logged games and reviews to write it. AI also helps check submitted text and images for safety. Recaps can be inaccurate; review them before sharing. We do not send private ticket codes to the recap service.
Visitor analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand visits, referring websites and campaigns, including tagged links shared on social media or in messages. Google Analytics uses cookies and processes technical information about your device and visits. Our page-view tracking excludes account emails, review text, ticket codes and other personal query fields, and replaces profile and content identifiers with generic page paths. Advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled. You can block Google Analytics using browser privacy controls or Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Cookies and device storage
We use cookies or similar device storage to keep you signed in, remember preferences such as theme and spoiler-free mode, and support basic usage measurement. You can clear or block storage in your browser, but sign-in and saved preferences may stop working. Clearing browser storage does not delete your account or saved online content.
Keeping and protecting information
We keep information while it is needed to run your account and provide the app. We use access controls and other safeguards, but no online service can guarantee perfect security. Information may be processed where our service providers operate, including outside your home region.
After a deletion request, we may retain limited records where needed for legal obligations, security or resolving disputes. Backup copies may remain until they are replaced through normal backup cycles.
Your choices and deletion requests
You can edit your profile and manage content using the available app controls. To request access to, correction of or deletion of your account and personal data, email us from your account email. We may ask for information to confirm the account belongs to you. Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights.
Age requirement
You must be 13 or older to use CourtCritic, and meet any higher minimum age required where you live. The app is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate and remove it.
Changes and contact
We may update this notice as the app changes and will update the date above. For privacy questions or data requests, email courtcritic.app@gmail.com.
