This privacy policy explains what information StealScout collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to StealScout 2.0 and later.
Who We Are
Duck Snort Labs LLC develops and operates StealScout. References to "we," "us," or "our" mean Duck Snort Labs LLC.
Information We Collect
Guest use
You can use StealScout without signing up. When you first open the app, it creates a guest account identified only by a random account ID. The data you enter as a guest is stored with that ID and can only be reached from that installation of the app.
Account information
If you create an account, we collect your name, email address and a password. The password is handled by Firebase Authentication; we never see it. We use your account to sign you in, back up your data and sync it across your devices and with your coaching staff. Everything you recorded as a guest moves to your account.
Team, player and timing data
StealScout stores the data you create in the app, including:
- Team names, season labels, sport and base distance
- Rosters: player names, jersey numbers and batting side, and whether a player is archived
- Opposing pitchers and catchers you choose to scout: name or number, team name and throwing hand
- Recorded times (run, delivery and pop times), with the date, field size, and any notes you add
- Logged steal attempts (safe or out, with the runner, pitcher and catcher names)
- Invite codes you create, and the account IDs of the assistant coaches and parents who join with them
This data belongs to you. We store it so you can use it across devices and share it with the people on your team.
Subscription and purchase information
StealScout Pro is purchased through Apple. Apple processes the payment and tells the app on your device whether your subscription is active. We do not see or store your payment information, and we do not store your subscription status on our servers.
On your device only
App preferences (such as tag time, averaging window and reference defense) are stored only on your device. When StealScout 2.0 is first opened, it reads any StealScout 1.0 data from your device and moves it into your team.
What we don't collect
StealScout does not collect your location, contacts, photos or device advertising identifier. The app does not use advertising, tracking, or third-party analytics.
How We Use Your Information
- To provide the service. Storing your rosters and times, calculating averages, personal bests, rankings and steal predictions.
- To sign you in. Verifying your identity when you log in.
- To share within your team. Showing team data to the coaches on your staff, and a player's times to their linked parents.
- To support you. Answering questions you send us.
We do not sell your data, share it for advertising, or show ads.
How Your Data Is Stored
StealScout uses Google Firebase (Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore) to store and sync your data. Firebase is operated by Google LLC, and data is stored on Google's servers in the United States. A copy is also kept on your device so the app works without a connection. Access is restricted by Firebase security rules.
Sharing Within Your Team
- Head coach (the team's creator) can see and manage everything on the team.
- Assistant coaches who join with an assistant code can see the team's roster, times, scouted pitchers and catchers and logged attempts, and can record, edit and delete times.
- Parents who join with a parent code can see only that player's name, number, times, personal bests and trends. They cannot see other players and cannot change anything.
Your name and email address are shown to the coaches on teams you coach. Anyone you give an invite code to can use it to join, so share codes only with people you trust. The head coach can remove assistants and parents at any time.
Children's Privacy
StealScout is intended for use by adult coaches and parents. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Player names and times are entered and managed by coaches. If you believe a child has provided us information directly, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Choices
- Access and edit. You can view, edit, exclude and delete any time, and edit, archive or delete any player, in the app. Head coaches can export their team's times as a CSV file.
- Delete a team. Head coaches can delete a team and all of its data from Settings.
- Delete your account. Go to Settings > Account > Delete Account. This permanently deletes teams you own (with their players, times and attempts), removes you from teams you assist and players you follow, and deletes your account. You can also email support@ducksnortlabs.com.
- Guests. If you use StealScout as a guest, delete your team in Settings before uninstalling. After uninstalling, guest data can no longer be reached from the app.
- Cancel your subscription. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription.
Data Retention
We keep your data while your account is active. Data you delete in the app is removed from our database right away. Copies in Google's routine backups are removed within 30 days, except records we must keep for legal or accounting purposes.
Security
We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), Firebase Authentication and Firestore security rules to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure; if we learn of a breach affecting your data, we will notify you as required by law.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the date at the top of this page and tell you in the app about material changes.
