Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
Overview
RC Football is a free web app for amateur flag football coaches. We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights as a user.
Data We Collect
- Email address: collected when you sign up or log in, whether with a password, Google or Facebook. Used only for account identification and essential communications.
- Name / profile info: optionally provided by you or pulled from your Google or Facebook account when you sign in with it.
- Play and team data: the plays, playbooks, rosters, and team configurations you create inside the app. Stored securely so you can access them across sessions.
- AI requests: the text you type when you ask the AI to draw or change a play. Stored to generate the play and to improve the AI.
- Usage data: basic analytics such as pages visited and features used, to help us improve the app. No personally identifiable information is attached to usage events.
Analytics and Session Recording
- Usage analytics: we use PostHog and Google Analytics to understand which pages and features coaches use, so we know what to build next. This covers pages viewed, actions taken (such as generating or exporting a play), approximate location from your IP address, and your browser and device type.
- Session recordings: we record how the site is used so we can find where it is confusing or broken. A recording shows the pages you visited and where you clicked, scrolled and typed.
- What recordings never contain: every value you type is masked before it leaves your browser. Passwords, email addresses, team and player names, and anything entered into the AI prompt box are replaced with placeholder characters and are never transmitted or stored. We do not record network request contents. We can see that a field was filled in; we cannot see what was put in it.
- Identity: anonymous visitors are never given a profile. Once you sign in, analytics is linked to your account by user id only, never by email or name.
- Opting out: both analytics and recording honour your browser’s Do Not Track setting. To have recordings associated with your account deleted, email us using the address below.
Signing In with Google or Facebook
RC Football offers sign-in with Google and with Facebook. When you choose one of these, that provider shares your name and email address with us so we can create or find your account. We never receive your Google or Facebook password, and we do not access any other data from either account. From Google we may also use your profile photo; from Facebook we use only your name and email.
If your Facebook account has no email address, or you choose not to share it, we cannot create an account from it. You can sign up with Google or with an email address instead.
If you connect Google Drive for play exports, we request only the specific Drive permission needed to create files in your Drive. We do not read, modify, or delete any existing files in your Google Drive.
How We Use Your Data
- To authenticate you and maintain your session
- To save and sync your plays, teams, and playbooks
- To export your plays to Google Drive when you request it
- To send transactional emails (e.g., password reset)
- To improve the app based on aggregate usage patterns
- To publish aggregated, de-identified statistics about how coaches use RC Football, such as which formations are most popular. These statistics never identify you, your team or your players.
We Do Not Sell Your Data
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. Your data is yours.
Data Retention
Your account data is retained as long as your account is active. If you would like your data deleted, contact us at the email below and we will remove your account and associated data within 30 days. Our data deletion instructions cover every way to do this, including removing RC Football from your Google or Facebook account.
Security
We use industry-standard practices to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and secure session management. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of RC Football after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
