Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 27, 2026
Data Collection
Scoring a Quick Match, viewing match history, and using saved player suggestions all work entirely on your device, without an account or an internet connection. If you choose to sign in and use the optional online features (tournaments and profiles), some data is sent to our servers as described below.
Account & Sign-In
Signing in is optional. If you sign in with Google, we use Firebase Authentication, a Google service, to manage your account. Your email address and a unique account ID are stored by Firebase on our behalf and used to identify you across the app and its companion web app. You can sign out at any time from Settings.
Profile Data
If you set up a profile, the name, username, gender, bio, and profile photo you provide are stored on our servers so they can be shown to other players in tournaments you take part in. Your profile may also include a legal name, phone number, Instagram handle, home city/region, and jersey size once you supply them during a tournament registration, as described below under "Tournaments & Live Scoring". You can view, edit, or remove any of this information at any time from the Profile screen.
Tournaments & Live Scoring
If you create or join a tournament, the tournament's details, player roster, and match schedule are stored on our servers so they can be shared with the organizer and other participants. When a match from a tournament is scored on the app's scoreboard, the live score and point-by-point history are synced to our servers in real time so results are visible to other participants and organizers. Tournaments are private by default: only their organizers, participants, and anyone who has a link to them can see them. If an organizer makes a tournament public, its details, roster, results, and photos can be seen by anyone using the app or its companion web app. Depending on what the organizer requires, registering for a tournament may also ask for your legal name, phone number, Instagram handle, home city/region, and jersey size; these are saved to your own profile as well, so you don't need to re-enter them for future tournaments. If the organizer asks for proof of payment, the image you upload is visible only to you, your team partner, and the tournament's organizers.
Tournament Photos & Images
Tournament organizers can upload images to a tournament, such as a cover image, display backgrounds and slides, jersey size charts, and payment instructions. Managers and umpires can also attach a photo to each match and a photo for each leaderboard placing (for example, the winners' podium), and managers can upload a photo for a player on the roster, which is shown in place of that player's own profile photo within the tournament. These photos may show players and other people at the event. They are stored on our servers and can be seen by anyone who can see the tournament, as described above. Every uploaded image is resized and re-encoded, which removes embedded metadata such as camera details and GPS location. Organizers can replace or remove these images at any time, and deleting a tournament deletes all of its images. If you appear in a tournament photo and want it removed, ask the organizer or contact us at the address below.
Tournament Photo Albums
Tournament organizers can link a photographer's Google Drive folder to a tournament or event as a photo album. The photos stay in Google Drive, in a folder shared as "Anyone with the link" by the photographer or organizer; we only store the folder link, the album name and the photographer's credit. When you open a tournament's photos, the app loads the list of photos and the images directly from Google Drive, which sends your IP address and browser details to Google and is governed by Google's privacy policy. To have a photo of you removed, ask the photographer or the tournament organizer, who control the folder.
Finding Yourself in Tournament Photos
The optional Find me feature looks for you in a tournament's photo albums. You give it a photo of yourself (your profile photo or photos you pick on your device). The app finds the faces in your photo and in the album photos and turns each face into a set of numbers (a face template) to compare them. All of this runs on your device: your photo, the face templates and the results are never sent to our servers or to anyone else, and we cannot see them. The face templates, your reference photo and the photos you mark as you or not you are kept on your device for 7 days so your next search is quick, and are then deleted. You can delete them sooner, together with the downloaded face models, with Clear face data in Find me. The face detection and recognition models are downloaded once from our app's website. Find me is for finding yourself only: please do not use it to look for other people. The app explains this and asks you to continue before your first search.
Screen Templates & Displays
If you create a screen template to display on a paired TV or screen at a tournament, the template's name, layout configuration, and any images you upload are stored on our servers so they can be rendered on paired screens. Pairing a physical screen links it to your tournament using a short-lived pairing code. You can delete templates and their images, and unpair screens, at any time.
Match History
Results from a Quick Match (started from the Setup screen, not part of a tournament) are saved locally in an on-device database so you can review past matches. This data never leaves your device and can be deleted at any time from within the app. Tournament matches are covered separately above, under "Tournaments & Live Scoring".
Player Names
If you use the player assignment feature for a Quick Match, the names you enter are stored locally in an on-device directory for convenience (autofill suggestions and match history display) and are never transmitted externally. You can delete individual players or clear the entire directory from within the app. Players added to a tournament roster are handled as described above, under "Tournaments & Live Scoring".
Camera & Photos
The app may request camera access so you can take a new photo to upload, for example a profile photo or, if you manage or umpire a tournament, a match or leaderboard photo. You can also pick an existing photo from your device instead. A photo is only sent to our servers when you choose to upload it; how uploaded photos are used is described above. When you save or share an image from a tournament leaderboard or match (such as a photo with a score overlay), it's written to your device's photo gallery or handed to the share sheet you pick - that stays on-device and under your control. Infliction Point does not otherwise access photos on your device.
Location
If you search for nearby tournaments, the app requests your device's location and sends it to our servers to find tournaments near you. Location is used only to serve that search and is not stored or attached to your profile. Location access is entirely optional - the app works fully without it.
Wearable Data Layer
If you use the Wear OS companion app, match state is synced between your phone and watch via Google's Wearable Data Layer API. This data stays entirely on your devices and is not sent to any external server.
Third-Party Services
The app uses Android's built-in Text-to-Speech engine for score announcements - nothing is sent anywhere for this. Optional features rely on other Google services: Firebase Authentication and Cloud Storage (accounts, profiles, and profile photos), Google Cast (sending live scores to a Chromecast-connected TV on your local network), Google Play In-App Updates (checking for and installing app updates), and Google Drive (tournament photo albums, loaded directly from Google Drive as described above). Each of these is also governed by Google's own privacy policy. No advertising or analytics SDKs are used, and no data is sold.
Promo Video on Our Website
The home page of our website shows a promo video hosted on YouTube. Until you press play, only a still image stored on our own server is shown and nothing is loaded from YouTube. When you press play, the video is loaded from YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which sends your IP address and browser details to Google and is governed by Google's privacy policy.
Bluetooth Devices
If you pair a Flic button, its MAC address is stored locally on your device in SharedPreferences for reconnection purposes. If you configure a Bluetooth shutter remote, key mappings are stored locally. No Bluetooth device data is transmitted externally.
Data Retention & Account Deletion
Account and profile data is kept for as long as your account exists. You can permanently delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete Account, which removes your account from Firebase Authentication and erases your profile, including your profile photo, from our database. Records of tournaments you took part in may be retained so other participants' results and history stay intact, but your name is anonymized on those records once your account is deleted, and any player photo or proof of payment attached to your registrations is deleted. Match and leaderboard photos belong to the tournament rather than to any one account, so they are kept until the organizer removes them or deletes the tournament; to have a photo of you removed sooner, contact us at the address below.
Children's Privacy
Infliction Point is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us at the address below and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
