Privacy, explained in plain language.

Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the Goals & Assists Tracker mobile application (the “App”) handles information. The App is developed and published by Matelacom Inc. (“Matelacom”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

This policy applies to the App on supported Apple and Android devices. By using the App, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.

Information stored in the App

The App is designed for tracking sports statistics. Information you choose to enter may include:

• Player name, nickname or initials
• Jersey number, team name and division or age group
• Season, year and sport
• Game and career statistics, such as goals, assists and shots

The App does not require you to provide an email address, phone number, password, account login, precise location or payment-card number. If you enter identifying information, such as a child's full name, it is stored locally on your device.

How your stats are stored

Stats entered into the App are stored locally using on-device app storage. We do not operate an account system that uploads or synchronizes those stats to Matelacom servers, and we do not have automatic access to them.

Backups, export and restore

The App may let you export stats to a local file, such as an Excel-compatible file, and restore information from a previous backup. You choose where that file is saved or shared. Possible destinations may include device storage, a cloud drive or an email you send to yourself.

Matelacom does not automatically receive a copy of your backup. You are responsible for protecting it, deleting it when no longer needed and choosing who can access it. Anyone with access to a backup may be able to read the statistics it contains.

Device permissions

Depending on your device and operating system, the App may request files or storage access so you can save an export or select a backup to restore. The App does not use that permission to access unrelated files.

Operating systems may describe permissions differently or use a system file picker that lets you select a destination without granting broad storage access.

Children's privacy

The App may be used by parents, coaches and young athletes. It can be used without entering a full legal name or other direct identifiers. When information relates to a child, we recommend that a parent or guardian supervise use of the App and use a first name, initials or nickname where practical.

Stats are not automatically submitted to Matelacom. Advertising providers may process technical information as described below. If you believe a child has sent personal information to Matelacom outside the App—for example, by email—contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

Advertising, purchases and third-party services

Google AdMob

The App may display advertisements provided through Google AdMob. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect, process or share technical information such as IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, device or account identifiers, advertising identifiers, app launches, taps and other app interactions, advertising interactions, crash logs, performance information and diagnostics.

Google may use this information to deliver and measure advertising, provide analytics, prevent fraud and abuse, and maintain or improve its services. Depending on your location, device settings, age signals and available consent choices, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.

You can limit certain advertising uses through your Apple or Android privacy settings and through privacy choices presented by Google where available.

In-app purchases

The App may offer optional purchases, including the ability to remove advertising. Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. Matelacom does not receive or store your complete payment-card information. The App may receive limited purchase information—such as the product purchased, transaction status or a purchase receipt—when needed to complete, verify or restore a purchase.

Third-party privacy information

• Google Privacy Policy
• How Google uses information for advertising
• Apple Privacy Policy

Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Their practices may change independently of Matelacom.

Your choices and deleting data

You can edit or delete individual players and statistics using the options provided in the App. To remove all locally stored App data, you can clear the App's storage through your device settings or uninstall the App.

Deleting the App does not necessarily delete backup files you saved elsewhere. Those files must be deleted separately from device storage, cloud storage, email or any other destination you selected.

You may also use your device's privacy settings to limit advertising tracking or reset an advertising identifier. Available controls vary by platform and operating-system version.

Retention and processing locations

Your locally stored statistics remain on your device until you edit them, clear the App's storage or uninstall the App. Backup files remain wherever you placed them until you delete them.

If you contact us, we may retain your message and contact information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain business records, resolve disputes and meet legal obligations.

Google, Apple and their service providers may process information in Canada, the United States or other countries where they operate. Information processed outside your province or country may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.

Data security

Local data is protected primarily by your device's security controls, such as its passcode, access controls and encryption. We take reasonable steps to minimize the information handled by the App, but no device, transmission or electronic-storage method is completely secure.

Keep your device and backups protected, install operating-system updates and share exported files only with people you trust.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning personal information handled by Matelacom, including asking whether we hold information about you and requesting access, correction or deletion. Most App statistics cannot be accessed by Matelacom because they remain only on your device.

To make a privacy request concerning information you sent directly to us, email info@matelacom.ca. We may need enough information to verify and process your request.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect new App features, changes in third-party services or legal and platform requirements. We will update the date at the top of this page when changes are published. Where appropriate, we may also provide notice in the App or on our website.
