5. Children's Data

In the EU, if a user creates an account on behalf of a minor, they confirm they hold parental or legal authority. All data collected for minors is managed in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

Teamfy is not intended for children under the age of 13 in the United States. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from anyone under 13 without verifiable parental consent, in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under 13 without proper consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, please contact us at team@teamfy.app.

6. Data Storage and Security

All personal data is securely stored in Firebase (Google Cloud) with encryption and controlled access.

  • Anonymisation is used for historical team data (e.g., names in infraction lists)
  • Passwords and sensitive fields are encrypted

Although no system is 100% secure, we implement strong technical and organisational measures to protect your data. To improve personal data protection, users should never share their password. If you believe your password is compromised, change it immediately. We encourage secure, unique passwords and logging out after each session.

7. Sharing of Data

Your personal data may be shared with (non-exhaustive list):

  • Firebase (authentication, messaging, storage)
  • Google Analytics / Firebase Analytics (usage tracking in future)
  • Stripe (planned for payment processing)

We do not sell or rent your personal data. Anonymised, aggregated usage data may be used for product development and insights.

8. Payment Information

We do not store payment details. Subscription payments are securely handled via Stripe or, in the future, Apple and Google in-app payments. For each payment, the processing provider's privacy policy applies.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and tracking tools in the future to:

  • Enable core functionality (authentication, language settings etc.)
  • Analyse usage for service improvement
  • Personalise the app experience
