Red Clay Upkeep Privacy Policy

Short version: the app collects nothing. Your locker stays on your device.

Last updated 18 September 2026 · applies to Red Clay Upkeep for iPhone and iPad

What we collect

Nothing

Red Clay Upkeep has no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no third-party SDKs. The app contains no networking code, so no personal data, usage data, identifiers or diagnostics are transmitted to us or to anyone else. Our App Store privacy answers are "Data Not Collected" in every category, and the bundled PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy declares NSPrivacyTracking = false, no tracking domains and no collected data types.

What the app stores on your device

Everything you enter is written to the app's own database inside its sandboxed container on your iPhone or iPad, and to the app's preferences. None of it leaves the device.

Data	Where	Why
Rackets: name, model label, grip size, head size, strung weight, notes, card colour, photo	App database	The locker itself
String jobs: string type, mains, crosses, tensions, gauge, stringer name, date, expected hours, notes	App database	String-life counting and history
Gear: name, category, quantity, in-use date, expected life, notes, photo	App database	Wear countdown
Sessions: date, type, minutes, result, score, surface, opponent name you type, feel rating, notes	App database	Hours on strings and setup records
Bag checklist: item titles, icons, ticked state, order	App database	Pre-match checklist
Settings: appearance, haptics, sound, alert toggles, reminder time, default surface	iOS user defaults	App preferences

Any name you type — a stringer, an opponent, a club — is free text you choose to enter. We never see it.

Permissions

Camera. Requested only at the moment you choose "Take a photo" for a racket or a piece of gear. The photo is downsampled and stored with that item. It is not uploaded anywhere.
Photo library. Choosing "Choose from library" opens the system picker, which hands the app only the single image you select. The app never reads the rest of your library.
Notifications. Optional. Asked on the last onboarding page or when you switch on a reminder. Reminders are scheduled locally by iOS on your device; there is no push server.

Declining any of these leaves the rest of the app fully usable.

Required-reason APIs

The app declares one required-reason API in its privacy manifest: NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults with reason code CA92.1, because it reads and writes only its own app preferences.

Children

Red Clay Upkeep is a general-audience sports utility. It does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13, because it does not collect information at all.

Your control and your rights

Erase everything. Settings → Erase all data deletes every racket, string job, gear item, session and photo from the device and cancels pending reminders.
Delete the app. Removing Red Clay Upkeep from your device removes its container and everything in it.
Access, correction, export, portability. Because the data never leaves your device, you already hold the only copy and can edit or delete any entry at any time. There is nothing for us to access, export or erase on your behalf under the GDPR, the CCPA or similar laws.
No sale or sharing. We do not sell, share or disclose personal information, because we never receive any.

Backups

If you use iCloud Backup or an encrypted local backup, your device backup may include the app's container, exactly as with any other app. That copy is handled by Apple under Apple's terms and remains inaccessible to us.

Changes and contact

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date. Questions about privacy can go to [email protected].
