SportSongs Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 21, 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how Rocky River Software, LLC handles information in connection with the SportSongs iPhone application (“the App”). We take privacy seriously and designed SportSongs so that it does not collect, store, or transmit personal data.
The free version of SportSongs displays occasional banner ads. Users may upgrade to SportSongs Pro through an Apple In‑App Purchase to remove ads and unlock additional premium features.
1. Overview
SportSongs is a simple music-clip controller for youth sports and game operations. It uses your existing Apple Music subscription to play short clips during games.
The App is built so that all data related to your tiles, clip start times, and playlist setup stays on your device. Rocky River Software does not receive or store this information.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
SportSongs does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:
- Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses
- Account logins or passwords
- Device identifiers not related to Apple’s ad frameworks. Apple’s ad services may access an advertising identifier solely for delivering ads; Rocky River Software does not collect or store this identifier.
- Location data
- Contacts, calendars, photos, or files
- Usage analytics or behavioral tracking data
- Payment or financial information
- Health, fitness, or other sensitive personal data
The App uses a standard, privacy-friendly advertising SDK provided by Apple (AdServices/AdSupport) for displaying banner ads in the free version of SportSongs. This may use a device advertising identifier solely for ad delivery and frequency capping. Rocky River Software does not receive or store this identifier.
SportSongs offers an optional subscription, SportSongs Pro, which removes ads and unlocks additional features. All subscription processing is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store’s In‑App Purchase system. Rocky River Software does not collect or store payment information, credit card data, billing addresses, or purchase history.
3. Apple Music Access
To function correctly, SportSongs needs permission to access Apple Music on your device. This access is used only to:
- Play songs from your Apple Music subscription
- Read song metadata such as title, duration, album artwork, and playback capabilities
- Access playlists so you can assign songs to tiles
All Apple Music interactions happen locally on your device. SportSongs does not transmit your music library or playlist details to Rocky River Software or any third party.
4. Data Stored on Your Device
SportSongs stores a small amount of configuration data locally on your iPhone, for example:
- Which sport layout you selected (e.g., hockey or baseball)
- Tile names and tile positions you customize
- Song identifiers linked to each tile
- Custom clip start times you configure for each tile
This information is stored only on your device and is used strictly to operate the App. It is not uploaded, shared, or sold. If you uninstall the App, this data is removed as part of the normal app deletion process.
5. No Server Communication
SportSongs does not communicate with a backend server owned by Rocky River Software. Aside from Apple Music streaming handled by Apple’s systems, the App does not send your data to any remote server controlled by us.
6. Third-Party Services
SportSongs relies on Apple-provided frameworks such as:
- MusicKit / MediaPlayer (Apple Music access)
- AVFoundation (audio playback)
- UIKit / SwiftUI (user interface)
- Apple AdServices / AdSupport (delivers ads in the free version of SportSongs)
SportSongs does not use third‑party tracking libraries. Advertising shown in the free version is served exclusively through Apple’s ad frameworks, which follow Apple’s privacy and transparency policies.
7. Children’s Privacy
SportSongs is often used by youth sports organizations and families. The App does not collect personal information from any user, including children under 13.
If you believe a child has provided personal information directly to Rocky River Software outside of the App (for example, via email), please contact us so we can delete it.
8. Security
Because SportSongs does not collect or store personal data on our servers, the risk of a data breach from our systems is minimized. Local data on your device is protected by Apple’s iOS security features and your device passcode or Face ID/Touch ID, where enabled.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
Your continued use of SportSongs after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
