FC Manager ("the app," "we") is a team management app for soccer teams. This policy explains what information the app collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. Short version: we collect only what the app needs to work, your data is visible only to your team, we don't run ads, and we never sell your information.
Information we collect
Account and profile information. When you create an account you provide your name and email address. You may optionally add a phone number, jersey number, field position, and graduation year. Your coach or team administrator uses this information to manage the roster.
Team activity. The app stores the practices, games, and events your team schedules, your RSVP responses, and attendance records marked by your coaches.
Wellness and training data. If you use the wellness and training-load features, the app stores your self-reported daily wellness check-ins (such as energy and readiness ratings) and post-session effort ratings (RPE). This information is self-reported by you; the app does not read data from your device's health sensors, HealthKit, or any fitness tracker.
Messages. Messages you send in team chat are stored so your team can see chat history. Messages include your display name and position so teammates can identify you.
Technical information. Like most apps, our infrastructure providers keep standard technical logs (such as IP addresses and error reports) needed to operate and secure the service.
How your information is used
Your information is used only to provide the app's features: showing the roster, scheduling events, tracking attendance and availability, displaying team wellness and training-load summaries to your coaching staff, and delivering chat messages. We do not use your information for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not share it with third parties except the service providers described below.
Who can see your information
FC Manager is a private, closed team app. Your profile, availability, wellness entries, and messages are visible only to authenticated members of your team. Coaches and team administrators can additionally see roster details, attendance records, and team-level wellness and training-load summaries, including individual entries, in order to manage player workload and safety. Your information is never visible to the public or to other teams.
Service providers
The app runs on the following infrastructure providers, which process data on our behalf: Base44 (application hosting, authentication, and database storage), Ably (real-time message delivery for team chat; delivery tokens are scoped to your team only), and Google (optional sign-in with your Google account, if you choose that login method). These providers process data solely to operate the service and are bound by their own security and privacy commitments.
Data retention and deletion
Your data is retained while your account is active so that your team's history (schedules, attendance, training records) remains intact.
You can delete your account at any time from within the app (menu → Delete Account). Deleting your account deactivates it, removes your name and personal profile details, and disconnects you from the team. Anonymized athletic records (such as past attendance counts or training-load entries no longer linked to your name) may be retained so historical team statistics remain accurate. If you want specific content removed — for example past chat messages — contact us at the email above and we will help.
Security
Access to the app requires authentication. Chat delivery uses short-lived, least-privilege tokens scoped to your team. Administrative access to backend data is limited to the app's operator.
Children
FC Manager is designed for collegiate and adult team use and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, we will update this page and note the new effective date. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
