North Peak Digital
Privacy Policy: The Tape
Summary
College football stats live on your device. Optional preference sync uses your Apple iCloud / CloudKit account. We do not sell personal data. Spoiler-Free and Watch Mode keep scores hidden when you ask.
Data we process
On-device sports data
College football statistics are stored in a local database on your device. Game data is downloaded from our sync servers (Cloudflare Workers + R2). Source data is derived from CollegeFootballData.com and related public feeds. Redistribution of CFBD-derived data may require CFBD permission for public production use.
Preferences (local + optional iCloud)
Stored in UserDefaults and, when iCloud is available, mirrored to your private CloudKit database (iCloud.com.northpeaklabs.ScoutSports):
| Record | Purpose |
|---|---|
Follow | Primary team and followed teams |
SpoilerPref | Spoiler-Free on/off |
WatchMode | Per-game hide list |
This data stays in your iCloud private database; we do not read it on our servers.
Push notifications
If you enable game-day alerts, the app registers an APNs device token with our sync API so we can deliver kickoff / halftime / final notifications for teams you follow. Tokens are stored only to deliver those alerts.
Analytics (TelemetryDeck)
If a TelemetryDeck App ID is configured, the app may send anonymous usage signals (for example share, oracle_ask, widget_open, watch_mode, spoiler_toggle). Signals are privacy-preserving (no email, no name, no advertising ID sold to brokers). Exact scores for Spoiler-hidden games are not intended to be transmitted.
Purchases
Tape Plus (if offered) uses Apple StoreKit. Apple processes payment; we receive subscription status via StoreKit APIs, not your full payment card details.
Live scores
Home may fetch live or upcoming scoreboard data via our sync API or an unofficial ESPN public JSON fallback. Requests are short-cached. Spoiler-Free still hides scores in the UI.
Widgets & Live Activities
Home-screen widgets and Live Activities read a snapshot from the App Group group.northpeaklabs.Scout. Content is generated on-device from your primary team and local game data. Live Activity scores respect Spoiler-Free / Watch Mode before publish.
Data we do not collect
- No social login (Google, Facebook, etc.)
- No Firebase Auth user accounts
- No contacts, photos, or microphone access for core features
- No precise location requirement
Sharing
We do not sell personal information. Infrastructure providers (Apple CloudKit, Cloudflare Workers/R2, TelemetryDeck if enabled) process data only to operate the app.
Retention
- Local game data and preferences remain until you delete the app or clear data.
- CloudKit private records persist under your Apple ID until you delete them or the app’s container data.
- Device push tokens remain while alerts are enabled; unregistering or deleting the app stops delivery.
- TelemetryDeck retention follows TelemetryDeck’s policies.
Children
The Tape is not directed at children under 13. Do not use the app if you are under 13.
Your choices
- Toggle Spoiler-Free and Watch Mode in Settings.
- Sign out of iCloud on the device to stop CloudKit sync (local cache remains).
- Delete the app to remove on-device data.
- Leave TelemetryDeck App ID unset (or remove it) to disable analytics signals.
