01About this policy
Statpuls3 is a stat-tracking app for grassroots youth football, run by Michael Ndiweni ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the Statpuls3 app and statpuls3.com collect, why, and the choices you have.
For UK and EU users, Michael Ndiweni is the data controller. Questions or requests: hello@statpuls3.com.
02Children and accounts
Statpuls3 is built mainly for youth players (age groups up to U18), and adults can also track their own stats. But only adults hold accounts. A parent, guardian or coach signs up, adds players, and uses the app with the child on the adult's own device. Children do not sign up, log in, or have their own accounts.
By adding a child as a player, you confirm that you are their parent or guardian, or that you have their parent or guardian's permission. A parent or guardian can ask us at any time to see, correct or delete their child's information.
03What we collect
| What | Examples | Whose |
|---|---|---|
| Account details | Name, email address, password (stored encrypted) | The adult account holder |
| Player profiles | First name or nickname, age group, team, position | Players added by the adult |
| Match and stats | Goals, assists, shots, minutes, match dates and opponents, achievements, Styl3 archetype | Players |
| Social feed | Posts, reactions, and who you connect with | The adult account holder |
| Reports and blocks | Who reported or blocked whom, the reason given, and any details added | The adult account holder |
| Technical data | Device type, operating system, app version, crash reports | The device using the app |
Reports and blocks are used only to keep the feed safe and are never shown to the person reported.
We do not collect precise location, contacts, health data, or payment card details. If paid features are added, payments go through Apple and we never see your card.
04How we use it
- Run the app: create your account, save players and matches, and calculate stats, trends, achievements and Styl3 archetypes.
- Run the social feed: show posts and reactions to the people you choose.
- Keep it working and safe: fix crashes, prevent misuse, and keep accounts secure.
- Contact you: about your account, important changes, or replies to your messages. We send marketing emails only if you opt in.
We never sell personal data, never use children's data for advertising, and never show ads targeted at children.
Under UK GDPR, we rely on contract (to provide the app you signed up for), legitimate interests (to keep it secure and improve it), and consent where we ask for it (for example, marketing emails).
06The social feed
Only the people you connect with can see what you share on the feed. It is not public and does not appear in search engines.
- Adults decide what to post about their players; children cannot post.
- We ask you not to share a child's surname, school, home area or contact details.
- You can remove your own posts, report any post or user in the app, and block users. We review reports and remove content that breaks these rules.
07Keeping and deleting data
We keep your data while your account is open. You can delete your account, and all players, matches and posts linked to it, at any time in Settings → Delete account, or by emailing hello@statpuls3.com.
We delete everything within 30 days of your request, apart from anything the law requires us to keep. Accounts left unused for 2 years may be deleted after we email you a warning.
08Your rights
You, or a parent or guardian on a child's behalf, can ask us to:
- see a copy of the data we hold
- correct anything that's wrong
- delete data
- limit or object to how we use it
- send your data to you in a portable format
- withdraw consent you've given
Email hello@statpuls3.com and we'll reply within one month. We may ask you to confirm your identity first.
UK users: you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
US users: Statpuls3 does not let children under 13 create accounts. Players' information is entered by a parent or guardian, or by a coach with their permission. Parents can review or delete their child's information, or stop further collection, at any time.
09Security and changes
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and passwords are never stored in plain text. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your data, we will tell you, and the ICO where required.
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top and tell you in the app before a significant change takes effect.
