Privacy Policy
Padelify is an iPhone and Apple Watch app for tracking padel scores, workout progress, and match history. This policy explains what information the app handles and how it is used.
Summary
Padelify does not require an account, does not run ads, does not use third-party analytics, and does not send your match history to a Padelify server. Match data is stored locally on your devices and synced between your paired Apple Watch and iPhone using Apple WatchConnectivity.
Information Padelify Handles
Depending on how you use the app, Padelify may store or process:
- Team names and player names that you enter or edit.
- Live match state, including score, games, sets, current server, timers, and unfinished match snapshots.
- Completed match history, including date and time played, set scores, match duration, team and player names, optional club or court name, and optional workout calories and average heart rate.
- App preferences and temporary app state, such as default names, button colors, workout tracking settings, side-switch notification settings, pending device-sync actions, and workout auto-save timing.
- Optional Apple Health workout data, including heart rate and active energy during workout tracking.
Apple Health
If workout tracking is enabled, Padelify asks Apple Health for permission to read heart rate and active energy during padel activity recorded as a Tennis workout with unspecified court location. The watch app can show those values during play, and Padelify can include calories and average heart rate in the local match history on iPhone.
After a match finishes, the workout remains active briefly so you can continue it into another game. If no action is taken for two minutes, Padelify automatically finishes and saves the workout. Aborting a game asks whether to save or discard the workout. After an unexpected app termination, watchOS may restore the active HealthKit workout so Padelify can continue or finish saving it.
Health permissions are controlled by Apple Health and your device settings. Padelify does not use Health data for advertising, marketing, profiling, or sale to third parties.
How Information Is Used
Padelify uses the information above to:
- Calculate padel scoring, including deuce, advantage, sets, and tiebreaks.
- Show live match controls and score details on Apple Watch and iPhone.
- Restore an unfinished match and pending device-sync actions.
- Save completed matches to your iPhone match history.
- Let you edit match details, team names, player names, and place names.
- Display optional workout metrics during play and save workouts to Apple Health when permitted.
Storage and Sync
Padelify stores match history locally on iPhone using SwiftData. The iPhone and watch apps may store preferences, active or unfinished match snapshots, pending sync actions, and temporary workout auto-save timing using Apple platform storage. Live and completed match payloads are exchanged between your paired Apple Watch and iPhone using WatchConnectivity.
Padelify does not currently operate its own backend service for app data. Match history without Health data may be included in device or iCloud backups according to your device settings and Apple privacy policies. Workout-derived calories and average heart rate are kept in a separate local store that is excluded from backups. Pending completed-match delivery copies may also include those metrics; these copies are excluded from backups and retained until the iPhone confirms the match was saved.
Sharing
Padelify does not sell your data and does not share your match history with advertisers, analytics providers, or data brokers. Data may be shared only through Apple platform services required for app functionality, such as WatchConnectivity and Apple Health, or if you choose to share information yourself outside the app.
Deleting or Controlling Your Data
Saved matches remain on the iPhone until you delete them or uninstall Padelify. Active match snapshots and pending sync actions are removed when they are completed, aborted, replaced, or the app is uninstalled. Preferences remain until you change them or uninstall the app. The iPhone keeps identifiers of deleted matches until uninstall so delayed deliveries cannot restore matches you deleted.
You can delete saved matches from the iPhone match history. You can edit or clear team names, player names, and place names in the app. You can turn workout tracking, heart rate display, and calorie display on or off in the iPhone or Apple Watch app settings.
You can manage Apple Health permissions in iOS or watchOS settings and delete Health records from the Apple Health app. Uninstalling Padelify removes app-local data from the device, but Health data saved to Apple Health may need to be deleted separately in Apple Health.
Children
Padelify is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
