The Pitchside

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 July 2026

The short version

The Pitchside does not collect, store, or share any personal information. There are no accounts, no sign in, and no analytics. We could not read your career data even if we wanted to, because it never leaves your phone.

Your data stays on your device

Everything you enter in the app, your saves, squads, matches, transfers, objectives and trophies, is stored only on your device. We have no servers and no copy of your data. If you back up your phone, your data from The Pitchside travels inside that backup like any other app data.

Network image requests

To show club crests, league logos, trophy renders and player photos, the app requests publicly available images from two third party services:

These requests contain only the club, competition or player name or id needed to return the right image. No personal information is sent. Like any web request, these services may receive standard technical information such as your IP address and may log it under their own privacy policies. Your operating system caches the images on your device, so the app keeps working offline after first use.

No tracking, no ads

The app does not track you. It contains no advertising or analytics SDKs and shares no data with third parties for marketing.

Purchases

If you buy an upgrade in The Pitchside, the purchase is processed entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We never see your payment details. Apple and Google handle payment under their own terms and privacy policies.

The beta signup on this website

If you join the beta waitlist on thepitchsideapp.com, we store the email address and platform choice you submit. The form is handled by Netlify Forms, and a single welcome email is sent through Resend. We only email you about the beta. To unsubscribe or have your signup deleted, email hello@thepitchsideapp.com and we will remove it.

Children

The Pitchside is suitable for all ages and collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Retention and deletion

Because your career data lives on your device, you are in full control. Deleting a save inside the app, or deleting the app itself, removes that data permanently. For beta signup data, email us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new date at the top.
