How PointCalc collects, uses, shares and protects information.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how "PointCalc" ("PointCalc", "we", "our", "us"), collects, uses, discloses and safeguards information in connection with the PointCalc mobile application available on the Apple App Store and Google Play (the "App") and the website at pointcalc.in (the "Website"; together with the App, the "Service").
By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not access or use the Service.
PointCalc is designed to operate primarily on your device. The tournaments, teams, players, screenshots, branding assets and exports you create in the App are stored locally and are not transmitted to PointCalc servers, except as described in Section 2.3 if you choose to enable Google Drive backup.
This Policy applies to information processed by PointCalc in connection with the Service. It does not apply to:
We collect information in the limited categories described below.
The following information is created on your device and remains on your device. It is not transmitted to PointCalc and we have no ability to access it, except via the optional Google Drive backup described in Section 2.3:

When you use the App, we collect a limited set of diagnostic and usage information through Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics, services provided by Google LLC. This information includes:
This information is not associated with your name, email address or phone number, because the App does not require an account for general use.
The App offers an optional Google Drive backup feature. You may use the App without enabling this feature. If you choose to enable it, the following applies:
drive.file OAuth scope. This scope limits the App's access to files it creates or that you explicitly open with the App. The App cannot view, modify or list other files in your Google Drive.See Section 5 for the additional Google API Services User Data Policy commitments that apply to information received from Google APIs.
If you purchase a Premium or Premium + AI subscription, billing is handled entirely by Apple or Google through their respective app stores. The App receives only a confirmation that your subscription is active and which tier you are on. We do not receive or store your payment card number, UPI ID, bank account details or billing address.
If you contact us by email, Instagram or WhatsApp, we receive and retain the contents of your message and any contact information you provide, so that we can respond and follow up.
The Website is a static landing page. It does not set tracking cookies, does not run web analytics on visitors and does not embed third-party trackers. Standard server-access logs may be generated and briefly retained by the hosting platform (GitHub Pages) for abuse prevention; we do not access or process those logs.
We do not collect: precise GPS location, contacts, SMS or call logs, photos other than those you explicitly import into the App, microphone audio, biometric data, or data from other applications on your device.
We use the information described in Section 2 for the following purposes:
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use information collected through the Service for third-party advertising. We do not use your tournament content, screenshots or any information obtained from Google APIs to develop, improve or train generalised artificial intelligence or machine-learning models.
We share information only with the limited categories of recipients listed below, and only as necessary to operate the Service:
We do not share information with any other third parties for their own marketing or advertising purposes.
PointCalc's use and transfer to any other application of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Specifically, with respect to Google user data received in connection with the Google Drive backup feature:
We use industry-standard administrative, technical and organisational measures to protect information. All network communication between the App and the services we rely on uses encrypted transport (HTTPS / TLS). OAuth tokens used for Google Drive backup are stored on your device using the platform's secure storage facilities. Because the majority of your content remains on your device, the protections you maintain on your device — operating-system updates, a screen lock and physical control of the device — are an important part of keeping that information safe. No system can be guaranteed to be fully secure; if we become aware of a security incident that affects information described in this Policy, we will notify affected users and the relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
You have the following choices regarding information processed in connection with the Service:
Subject to applicable law — including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act — you may also have the right to (i) request access to the personal information we hold about you, (ii) request correction or deletion of that information, (iii) object to or request restriction of certain processing, (iv) request portability of certain information, (v) withdraw any consent you have previously given and (vi) lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To exercise these rights, contact us at pointcalcdev@gmail.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by the applicable law and, in any event, within thirty (30) days.
The Service is intended for tournament organisers, esports community administrators and other users aged 13 and above (16 in the European Union and the United Kingdom). The Service is not directed to children below those ages, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from such children. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at pointcalcdev@gmail.com and we will take steps to delete such information.
PointCalc is operated from India. The third-party providers we rely on — including Google (Firebase and Drive), Apple, and GitHub — may process information on servers located in the United States or other countries outside India. By using the Service, you understand that information may be transferred to, stored in and processed in jurisdictions whose data-protection laws may differ from those of your country. Where applicable law requires, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers, including the safeguards put in place by the relevant third-party providers.
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Service, in applicable law or in our practices. When we make a change, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you, such as through a notice within the App. Your continued use of the Service after a change becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
