Squadify Coach — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 14 November 2026

Squadify Coach ("the app") is published by Squadify Team (Portugal, 2890) ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the app collects, why, who it is shared with, how long it is kept and the rights you have over it.

If you have any question about this policy or your data, write to squadify.support@gmail.com.

1. Who the app is for

Squadify Coach is for adults who coach youth or adult teams: the coach creates an account and records their teams, players, games and training sessions. Children don't use the app and can't create an account in it.

2. The data we collect

2.1 Your account

2.2 What you record about your teams

As you use the app you record data about your age groups, teams, players, opponents, games and training sessions. About each player this can be: name, date of birth, shirt number, position, height, weight, an emergency contact and a photo; and their call-ups, minutes, goals, cards and other events in games, ratings, training attendance and the notes you write.

You decide what to record. Players are often children: record a player's data only if you are allowed to (for example, with the consent of the player or of their parent or guardian, or because your club already holds it for this purpose). For this data you decide what is recorded and why, and we keep and process it on your behalf, only to provide the app to you and to the staff you invite.

2.3 Staff you invite

When you invite someone to join one of your age groups, we keep the invite and, if you send it by email, the email address you sent it to.

2.4 Purchases

Paid plans are bought through Google Play. We receive from Google the details needed to give you the plan you paid for (the plan, its period, its status and a purchase token). We never see your card or payment details: Google handles the payment.

2.5 Notifications

If you allow notifications, your device gets a push token from Firebase Cloud Messaging, which we keep so we can send you the app's notifications (a game scheduled or moved, a goal, the final score and so on). It's removed when you sign out or delete your account.

2.6 Crash reports

When the app crashes, Firebase Crashlytics sends us a crash report: what went wrong in the code, the app's version, the device model and Android version. It doesn't include your name, email or the data you recorded. We use it only to fix the app.

2.7 Ads (Free plan only)

On the Free plan the app shows a banner ad on some screens (never during a live game) through Google AdMob. To show ads, Google AdMob collects your device's advertising ID, your approximate location (from your IP address) and how you interact with the ads.

Google's use of this data is described in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

2.8 What we don't collect

We don't use any analytics or tracking tool of our own, we don't read your contacts, and we don't collect your precise location.

3. Why we use your data (legal bases)

What Why Legal basis (GDPR)
Account, teams, players, games, training To provide the app you signed up for Contract
Purchases To give you the plan you paid for Contract
Account emails To keep your account secure (codes, changes) Contract
Notifications To tell you about your games Consent (you allow notifications on your device)
Crash reports To find and fix errors Legitimate interest in a working app
Personalised ads (EEA, UK, Switzerland) To fund the Free plan Consent
Non-personalised ads To fund the Free plan Legitimate interest

4. Who we share it with

We don't sell your data. We share it only with the services that run the app for us, and only for that:

The staff you invite to an age group see that age group's players, games and training, as the app shows them. We may also disclose data when the law requires it.

Some of these services are based in, or process data in, countries outside the European Economic Area, such as the United States. Where they do, the transfer is covered by the safeguards the GDPR requires (such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework).

5. How long we keep it

6. Your rights

You can see and correct your account's details in the app (Account), and delete your account and its data in the app at any time. You can also write to us at squadify.support@gmail.com to:

If you can't use the app any more, you can ask us to delete your account by writing to the same address from your account's email. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority (in Portugal, the CNPD, www.cnpd.pt).

7. Security

All data travels encrypted (HTTPS). Passwords are stored only as one-way hashes. Photos are stored privately and are only shown to people who can see that team. Only the staff of an age group see its data.

8. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top and, if the change is significant, tell you in the app.
