Grappler Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 22, 2026

Grappler is a wrestling scoring, timing, meet-management, evaluation, and reference application for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. This policy explains what information Grappler and its service providers process, why it is processed, and the choices available to you.

Information You Provide

You can use core local tools without signing in. If you choose Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In, Grappler receives an account identifier and may receive your name and email address, depending on the provider and the choices you make with that provider.

Information you enter can include evaluator and official information, event and violation details, observations, dual-meet information, team and wrestler names, match scorebooks, choices, penalties, results, and other bout records. Cloud-enabled features associate this content with an authenticated account so it can be synchronized, recovered, or reviewed.

Temporary timer sessions process match state, device roles, invitation codes, session membership, scores, clocks, position, and related bout information so connected Timer, Scorer, Observer, and Apple TV devices can stay synchronized. The Apple TV app uses an anonymous service identity to redeem an Observer invitation and read the active scoreboard.

Information Processed Automatically

Grappler uses Firebase for authentication, cloud data, temporary sessions, and related service diagnostics. Grappler uses Sentry for crash, performance, and technical diagnostics. These services may process device, operating-system, app-version, network, crash, performance, and other diagnostic information.

The Google Sign-In iOS SDK declares that it may process account/profile information and technical data including name, email address, phone number, coarse location, user ID, device ID, other usage data, and other data for app functionality or analytics. Grappler does not use this information for advertising or cross-app tracking.

Camera and Photos

Camera access is used to scan QR invitations. Photo-library access can be used to select a weigh-in sheet for on-device text recognition. Grappler does not intentionally upload or retain the source camera image or selected photo as a cloud image after that local task is completed.

How Information Is Used

Information is used to:

• provide timing, scoring, dual-meet, evaluation, recovery, and synchronization features;

• authenticate accounts and associate authorized content with the correct user;

• connect role-based match devices and Apple TV scoreboards;

• maintain service security, reliability, and abuse prevention;

• diagnose crashes, performance issues, and technical failures; and

• respond to support, privacy, and deletion requests.

Grappler does not sell personal information. Grappler does not serve third-party advertisements and does not use collected information to track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.

Service Providers

Grappler relies on Apple and Google for federated sign-in, Google Firebase for authentication and cloud services, and Sentry for application diagnostics. Those providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies and may process information in countries other than your own.

Retention

Local app information remains on the device until it is deleted in the app, reset, or removed with the app, subject to operating-system backups. Cloud records remain while needed to provide the feature, satisfy a deletion request, maintain security, or meet legal obligations. Temporary invitations expire, and timer-session records are intended to be short lived. Diagnostic providers retain technical data according to their configured retention periods.

Your Choices and Deletion

You may continue without signing in, decline optional camera or photo access, sign out, remove local records, and request deletion of an account and associated cloud data.

Use the account-deletion option in Grappler when it is available. You may also email admin@grappler.social from the address associated with the account and request “Grappler account deletion.” Grappler may ask you to verify account ownership and will explain any processing time or legally required retention. Sign in with Apple credentials are revoked as part of the completed account-deletion process.

Children

Grappler is a general-audience sports utility and is not directed to children under 13. Grappler does not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child provided account information may contact us to request deletion.

Security

Grappler uses platform security controls and encrypted network connections. No method of storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so users should avoid placing unnecessary sensitive information in free-text fields.

Changes

This policy may be updated as the app or its service providers change. The effective date will be revised when material changes are published.
