Privacy Policy

Deuce Tap does not collect anything. There is no account, no sign-in and no server behind the app. Everything it knows about your matches lives on your iPhone and your Apple Watch, and the developer never receives any of it.

Who this is from

Deuce Tap is made by an independent developer. Questions about this policy, or about anything the app does, go to support@finishpilot.co.uk.

What the app stores on your device

• The match in progress — player names, the format you chose, and every point, undo and redo, kept as one file inside the app's own storage so a match survives the phone or the watch restarting mid-set.
• Finished matches — the two names, the final score line, when the match started and finished, and the full point-by-point record, in the app's local database on the iPhone. This is what the History tab shows.
• Your settings — announcement language, how often the score is spoken, voice speed, whether auto-lock and the workout are on, and the settings of your last match so the next one starts the same way.

None of this is copied to iCloud by the app, and none of it is sent anywhere.

Between your iPhone and your Apple Watch

So that both devices show the same score, the match is passed back and forth between them using Apple's WatchConnectivity framework. That is a direct link between two devices you own and have paired yourself. The data does not travel through the developer, and it does not need an internet connection.

Health data

On the Apple Watch, a match can be recorded as a tennis workout. This only happens if you allow it when the app asks, and only while the Workout switch on the watch is on.

• Read: heart rate and active energy, used solely to build the workout that is being recorded. The app never shows these values on screen and never keeps a copy of them.
• Write: the finished tennis workout, with its active energy, saved to the Health app on your own devices.

Health data is never transmitted anywhere and the developer has no way of seeing it. If you refuse the permission, or turn it off later, everything else in the app keeps working exactly as before — you simply get no workout. You can withdraw the permission at any time in the Health app, under your profile, in the privacy section that lists the apps you have given access to.

What the app does not do

• No accounts, no sign-in, no email address collected.
• No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising, no tracking, and no advertising identifier.
• No third-party software development kits of any kind are built into the app.
• Nothing is sold, shared, rented or handed to anyone. There is nothing to sell — the developer holds no data about you.
• The App Store version of Deuce Tap contains no networking code of its own: it makes no requests to any server, including the developer's own.

The one-time purchase

Deuce Tap is free to download, and scoring is free and unlimited for as long as you use it — there is no trial and no cap on the number of matches. An optional one-time purchase — Deuce Tap Pro, £9.99 — opens the full after-match report: points won on serve and on return, service games held and broken, break points, the longest game, the set-by-set breakdown, the momentum chart and the game-by-game write-up. There is no subscription, nothing recurring, and no second thing to buy. Because the report is worked out from the points you tapped — which the app has always stored for every match — buying it opens the full report on matches you played long before the purchase, as well as on every match after it.

The purchase is handled entirely by Apple, through the App Store. The developer never sees your name, your payment details or your Apple Account: what reaches the app is Apple's answer to the question "does this Apple ID own this product?", and the app stores that answer as a single yes/no value on your iPhone, which it copies to your Apple Watch over the direct link the two devices already use. Asking the App Store for the price, and asking it what you own when you tap "Restore Purchases", are the only moments the app causes any network traffic at all — and neither carries anything about your matches, your players or you.

Children

Deuce Tap is rated 4+ and is safe for children to use: it has no chat, no user-generated content, no links out of the app and no advertising. Because the app collects nothing, it collects nothing from children either.

There is one thing that can be bought — the optional Deuce Tap Pro unlock described above. It is sold through Apple's own App Store sheet, so it is covered by the parental controls you already have: with Ask to Buy switched on in Family Sharing, a child cannot complete the purchase without a parent approving it on their own device, and Screen Time can block in-app purchases altogether. The app has no other way to take money, and it never asks for payment details itself.

Deleting your data

All of it is on your device, so you are the one who deletes it:

• One match: swipe its row in the History tab and delete it.
• Every match: the Clear button at the top of the History tab.
• The match in progress: the menu at the top right of the match screen, then Discard match.
• Everything: delete Deuce Tap from your iPhone. That removes the history, the match in progress and every setting, and takes the watch app and its copy with it.
• Workouts already in Health: those belong to Health, not to Deuce Tap. Delete them in the Health app; deleting the app does not remove them.

Your rights

Data-protection law gives you the right to see, correct, export or erase personal data that a company holds about you. The developer of Deuce Tap holds none: nothing leaves your devices, so there is no copy anywhere to hand over or erase. Everything the app has recorded is in front of you in the app, and the steps above delete it. If you would like this explained further, write to support@finishpilot.co.uk.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of the app changes what it does with data, this page changes with it and the effective date at the top moves. The version of the policy that applies to you is the one published when you use the app.
