Privacy Policy

The tracker needs no account

Everything on the esports side - schedules, brackets, standings, rosters, transfers, streams and clips - works with no account, no sign-in, or a notification subscription. Optional alerts are described below.

Optional notifications

If you enable broadcast or tournament-result alerts, we store a push token, your device platform, your alert preferences, and an installation identifier. These are separate from your social account. We use Expo, Apple, and Google to deliver the alerts you select, sharing the push token and notification content with those delivery providers.

Broadcast alerts are selected by default but require your device’s notification permission. Result alerts start off and may contain spoilers. You can turn either category off in the app. Changes made offline sync when you reconnect. We retain the installation record to remember your choices, and stop sending to tokens reported as no longer registered. Temporary abuse-prevention counters use a hashed IP address and expire after two hours; they are not used for analytics.

If you create an account

Accounts exist only to power the friends feed. When you sign up we store:

• Your handleand display name - the handle is public by design (it’s how friends find you).
• Your password - stored only as a salted, peppered cryptographic hash. We cannot read it, and a copy of our database alone cannot reveal it.
• An email address, only if you choose to give one, used solely for account recovery. We never send marketing and never share it.

If you link the desktop overlay

The optional Windows overlay uploads gameplay stats to your account: per-match results (goals, assists, saves, shots, score, demos, MVP, fastest goal, match times) and - while Rocket League is running - a “playing now” heartbeat with the live score. Saved clips also upload automatically when the linked overlay’s auto-upload setting is enabled (on by default). You can turn it off in desktop Account settings. Manual recordings are not automatically uploaded. Your original files remain on your PC.

None of this is collected unless you install the overlay and link it to your account yourself.

Session clips

Cloudflare stores up to your five most recent completed cloud clips, with preview images and session metadata. Cloud copies are limited to 45 seconds and include a Polsa watermark. Clips follow your session visibility setting. You can delete them in the app; older clips are removed as newer uploads complete. Deleted clips become unavailable immediately, and storage cleanup is retried if necessary.

Who can see your activity

You control visibility in the app: followers-only (the default - only people you approve by being followed), public, or private(only you). We also store who you follow, since that’s what a feed is.

No ads, analytics, or data sales

Polsa contains no advertising, no analytics SDKs, and no third-party tracking software. We do not sell or rent your data, share it for advertising, or track you across apps or websites. Delivery and hosting providers process only the data needed for the features described here.

Where your data lives

Account and stats data is stored with Cloudflare (our hosting provider) and served from api.polsa.appover encrypted connections. Requests carry only what any web request does (such as your device’s IP address, used transiently to serve the response and protect the service from abuse) - we don’t retain it for analytics or profiling. Public esports data is relayed from start.gg, blast.tv, and Liquipedia.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time in the app: Feed → your profile → Delete account. This immediately and permanently removes your account and everything attached to it - stats, follows, linked devices, and any email you provided. Cloud clips become unavailable immediately and their stored files are queued for deletion. Your handle becomes available again. If you ever can’t use the app, emailing support@polsa.app with your handle works too.

Links to other services

Polsa links out to streams and videos on Twitch and YouTube. When you open one, you leave Polsa and that service’s own privacy policy applies. We have no control over, and take no responsibility for, those services.

Children

Polsa is not directed at children under 13, and accounts are not intended for them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we’ll update this page and the date above. Continued use of the app means you accept the current version.
