Privacy Policy
Rally (“we”, “us”), operated by Ahnaf An Nafee, is a tennis court finder that shows which courts are free right now. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the control you have over it.
The short version
- You can browse every court without an account. We don’t make you sign in to look.
- We use your location only to show nearby courts and, if you check in, to attach a report to the right court.
- We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t show third-party ads.
- You can delete your account and data at any time from inside the app.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us
- Account details — your email address (used for a one-time sign-in code) and a display name. We use passwordless email codes, so we do not store a password.
- Court reports & check-ins — the court, the status you report (open, a wait, packed), and the time.
- Photos — any photo you choose to add to a court, plus its associated court and timestamp.
- Support messages — anything you send us by email.
Information collected automatically
- Location — with your permission, your device location to find courts near you. See section 3.
- Device & usage data — app version, device type and OS, language, and basic interaction logs used to keep the service running and to fix bugs.
- Approximate location from IP — derived coarsely from your network for security and regional defaults.
2. How we use information
- Show you nearby courts and their live status.
- Let you check in, report status, add photos, earn points, keep streaks, and appear on city leaderboards.
- Verify new courts (a court is published only after two independent player confirmations).
- Send you the email code you request to sign in, and important service notices.
- Detect, prevent, and investigate abuse, spam, and fraudulent reports.
- Maintain, debug, and improve the app, in aggregate where possible.
3. Location data
Location is at the heart of finding a court, but it is your choice. The app requests location permission only when you use a feature that needs it, and you can grant precise or approximate location, or deny it and search by ZIP code or place name instead.
We use location to center the map, sort courts by distance, and tie a check-in to the court you’re at. We do not continuously track your location in the background, and we do not build advertising profiles from it. You can change or revoke the permission anytime in your device settings.
4. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as follows:
- Service providers that run the app on our behalf, under contract and limited to what they need: cloud database and hosting, image storage and content delivery, and transactional email delivery.
- Other players — your display name and the reports you submit are visible in the app (for example on a court’s history or a leaderboard). Your email is never shown to other players.
- App stores — Apple and Google process downloads and any Rally Pro purchases under their own privacy policies.
- Legal & safety — when required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect people’s rights and safety.
- Business transfers — if Rally is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, with notice to you.
- Aggregated or de-identified data that cannot reasonably identify you.

5. Your choices & rights
- Access & correct — view and edit your profile in the app.
- Delete — delete your account and associated personal data from the app’s settings; this is permanent.
- Location — grant, limit, or revoke location permission in your device settings.
- Email — service emails (like sign-in codes) are required to use an account; you can opt out of any optional updates.
To make a request you can’t complete in the app, email [email protected].
6. California privacy rights
If you’re a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you the right to know what personal information we collect, to access and delete it, to correct it, and to opt out of its “sale” or “sharing.” We do not sell or share your personal information as those terms are defined, and we do not knowingly process the data of anyone under 16 for those purposes.
In the past 12 months we have collected the categories described in section 1 (identifiers, internet/usage activity, geolocation, and user-generated content) for the purposes in section 2. You won’t be discriminated against for exercising your rights. Submit a request at [email protected]; we may need to verify your identity, and you may use an authorized agent.
7. Data retention
We keep your information while your account is active and as needed to provide the service. When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your personal data, except where we must retain limited records to comply with law, resolve disputes, or prevent abuse. Court reports may persist in de-identified, aggregate form so the map stays accurate.
8. Security
We use industry-standard measures — encryption in transit, access controls, and passwordless sign-in — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security. If we learn of a breach affecting you, we’ll notify you as required by law.
9. Children
Rally is not directed to children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we’ll delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app evolves. We’ll post the new version here with a fresh “last updated” date and, for material changes, notify you in the app or by email.
