Privacy Policy
Effective 17 September 2026
Who we are
Whistle Ledger is a matchday notebook for grassroots football referees. It lets you plan fixtures, run a match clock, log goals and cards, photograph match sheets, record fitness tests and keep assessor feedback. This policy explains how the app handles information.
Data we collect
None. We (the developer) do not receive, collect, store, sell or share any personal or usage data. The app makes no network requests and contains no third-party SDKs.
Data stored on your device
The following information is created by you and kept only in the app's private storage on your iPhone or iPad:
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Fixtures (teams, kit colours, venue, kick-off time, fees, assistant names) | To show your schedule, reminders and season totals |
| Match events (goals, cautions, sending-offs, sin bins, substitutions, notes) | To build the match log, report card and statistics |
| Photos of match sheets and line-ups | To keep paperwork with each fixture |
| Fitness results (bleep test levels, sprint times, interval reps, resting heart rate) | To chart your progress |
| Assessments and work-on points | To build your kick-off brief and track development |
| Your name and grade (optional) and app settings | To personalise report cards and remember preferences |
If your device backs up to iCloud or a computer, this data may be included in that backup under Apple's terms. We never have access to it.
Permissions
- Camera — used only when you tap “Take photo” to capture a match sheet or line-up. Photos are saved inside the app.
- Photo library — the system photo picker shares only the images you select. The app asks to add to your library only when you choose to save a report card.
- Notifications — local reminders (time to leave, kit bag check, match report due, weekly fitness nudge) are scheduled on your device. No push service is used.
You can change any permission at any time in the iOS Settings app.
Sharing
Nothing leaves the app unless you share it yourself using the iOS share sheet (for example a report card image or a season CSV file). Whatever you share is handled by the app or service you choose.
Tracking
Whistle Ledger does not track you across apps or websites and does not use advertising identifiers.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and collects no information from anyone.
Deleting your data
Use Settings → Erase all data inside the app, or delete the app from your device. Either removes everything the app stored.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with an updated effective date.
