Last updated: 31 March 2026

1. Introduction

BadiTournie ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our tournament management platform ("the Service").

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Account Information: Name, email address, phone number, and company/club name provided during signup.
  • Tournament Data: Team names, player names, match scores, fixture schedules, and standings created through the Service.
  • Usage Data: Browser type, device information, IP address, pages visited, and actions taken within the Service.
  • Payment Data: When entry fees are collected, payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers or full payment details.
  • Push Notification Data: If you opt in, we store your browser push subscription endpoint to send notifications.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and operate the tournament management Service.
  • To display tournament information (fixtures, scores, standings) to participants and spectators.
  • To send notifications about match updates, schedule changes, and tournament announcements (where opted in).
  • To process entry fee payments via Stripe.

  • To improve and maintain the Service.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data in the following circumstances:

  • Tournament Visibility: Tournament data (team names, scores, standings) may be publicly visible depending on the tournament's settings.
  • Payment Processing: Payment information is shared with Stripe for transaction processing.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or in response to valid legal processes.
  • Service Providers: We may use third-party services (email delivery, hosting) that process data on our behalf under appropriate data protection agreements.

5. Data Storage & Security

  • Data is stored securely using industry-standard practices.
  • Authentication uses JWT session tokens with httponly cookies.
  • Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text.
  • We use HTTPS to encrypt data in transit.
  • While we implement reasonable security measures, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. Tournament data is retained for the duration of the tournament and a reasonable period thereafter. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

  • Portability: Request your data in a portable format (e.g. via the Export feature).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact the tournament organisers or reach out via the contact information provided on the Service.

8. Cookies & Local Storage

  • Session Cookie: We use an httponly cookie (session_token) for authentication. This is essential for the Service to function.
  • Local Storage: We use browser localStorage to save UI preferences (theme, section collapse states) and to queue offline score updates.
  • IndexedDB: Used for offline caching of tournament data when the offline mode feature is enabled.

We do not use third-party tracking cookies or analytics scripts.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
