Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Referee Max. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information. Your matches, rosters and reports are yours and only yours.

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal information. Referee Max is designed so your data stays on your device.

The app does not:

• Collect names, emails, or phone numbers
• Track your location
• Use third-party analytics (like Google Analytics or Firebase)
• Require an account or login of any kind
• Upload your matches, teams, or reports to any server

3. Data Storage

Your matches, team rosters, goals, cards, substitutions and reports are stored locally on your device. Referee Max does not use any cloud sync or backup service of its own.

If you delete the app, all of its data is permanently removed from your device. There is no server-side copy because there is no server.

4. Sharing & Importing

You decide when something leaves your phone.

• Match reports: shared only through your phone's own share sheet, to the app or person you choose.
• Share links & QR codes: when you build a match or team on this website, the configuration is compressed and encoded inside the link itself, in your browser. We do not send it to, or store it on, any server.
• Importing: when you import a link or config into the app, it is read locally on your device.

5. Third-Party Services

Referee Max uses third-party services for the in-app purchase only:

• RevenueCat manages the one-time Pro purchase and restoring purchases. It may collect an anonymous identifier to process transactions and prevent fraud. No personal or financial data is shared with it. Privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy
• Apple App Store / Google Play handle all payment processing. Referee Max never sees or stores your payment information.

Referee Max does not use advertising networks, tracking technologies, or analytics SDKs.

6. Pro Purchase

Referee Max Pro is a single lifetime purchase, with no subscription. It unlocks:

• Extra time and penalty shootouts
• Importing teams and full match configs
• Editing rosters, players, and starters
• Custom kit colors and team names

You can restore your purchase at any time from within the app.

7. Data Security

Since all data stays on your device, its security depends on your phone's own protection. We recommend:

• Using Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint unlock, or a strong passcode
• Keeping your operating system up to date to receive security patches

8. Your Rights

Since we don't hold your data on any server, you have full and immediate control:

• Delete matches and teams: remove or edit them at any time inside the app.
• Delete all data: uninstall the app. Everything is permanently removed from your device. This cannot be undone.
• Restore purchases: restore your Pro purchase at any time from within the app.

9. Children's Privacy

Referee Max does not knowingly collect information from children. Since we collect no personal data at all, the app is suitable for referees of all ages.

10. Changes to This Policy

If we update this Privacy Policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review it periodically. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
