Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Account Deletion Information
This page explains how Padel Flow handles personal information, account deletion, tournament data, and one-time credit purchases. It is the public legal page for the Padel Flow mobile and web app.
Privacy Policy
Padel Flow ("we", "us", or "our") provides tournament management features for padel and similar racket sports. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices available to you.
1. Information we collect
| Category | Examples | Why we collect it |
|---|---|---|
| Account and profile data | Name, email address, birthdate, gender, and account identifiers. | To create your account, personalize your profile, and operate account features. |
| Authentication data | Email/password sign-in details, Google Sign-In account data, email verification status, Firebase UID. | To authenticate users, protect account ownership, and secure sensitive actions. |
| Tournament and app content | Tournament names, teams, players, match scores, scheduling information, activity history, promo redemptions, and sponsor interactions. | To provide the core tournament-management features and activity history. |
| Credits and purchase records | Google Play product identifier, purchase token, purchase time, credits granted, credit balances, and purchase history. | To verify purchases, grant credits, prevent duplicate processing, and support billing issues. |
| Technical and usage data | Basic app diagnostics, timestamps, sync state, callable-function request metadata, and service logs needed to keep the service running. | To maintain reliability, investigate problems, and protect the service from misuse. |
| Deletion audit data | Account identifier, Firebase UID, birthdate, gender, remaining credits, deletion mode, and deletion timestamp. | To maintain a minimal record of account deletion for security, abuse prevention, and support handling. |
2. How we use your information
- To create, operate, synchronize, and restore tournaments and related activity.
- To sign you in, verify account ownership, and protect account-security actions.
- To process one-time credit purchases and promo redemptions.
- To provide support, diagnose issues, and improve app stability.
- To prevent abuse, fraud, duplicate purchase processing, and unauthorized account actions.
- To comply with legal obligations and maintain reasonable internal records.
3. How your information is shared
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only when needed to run the service.
- With Google and Firebase services that provide authentication, hosting, cloud functions, remote configuration, and data storage.
- With Google Play Billing to verify eligible Android purchases and grant credits.
- With other app users only through the tournament content you choose to create or join.
- With legal authorities when required by law or when needed to protect users, the app, or our rights.
Sponsor content in the app is not personalized using your profile or purchase data. If you open an external sponsor link, that external site is governed by its own privacy policy.
4. Data retention
- Active account and tournament data is retained while needed to provide the service.
- Purchase history may be retained for support, accounting, fraud prevention, and payment dispute handling.
- Deletion audit records are retained as a minimal internal log after account deletion.
- Shared tournament history may be retained with anonymized creator identity to preserve tournament integrity.
5. Account deletion
You can request account deletion directly inside the app:
- Open Padel Flow.
- Go to Settings.
- Select Delete Account.
- Complete the typed confirmation and recent-auth confirmation flow.
When deletion completes:
- Your active account profile and identity links are removed from normal app use.
- Shared tournament records may remain, but creator identity is anonymized where needed for history integrity.
- Unused credits are forfeited and cannot be restored after deletion.
- A minimal internal deletion log is retained for security and support purposes.
If you cannot access the app and need deletion assistance, contact padelflow01@gmail.com from the email associated with your account.
6. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect account data and service integrity. No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
7. Children and age-sensitive data
Padel Flow is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to the app, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the app, legal obligations, or data practices change. The latest version will always be published on this page.
