Flagcheck doesn’t collect any data. It has no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and it doesn’t send anything to us.
When you add a field, Flagcheck sends its map coordinates to the National Weather Service’s public forecast service at api.weather.gov, which answers with the forecast grid cell the field sits in, about a mile and a half across. After that, Flagcheck asks for that cell’s forecast about once an hour while the app, a widget or a background refresh updates it. Nothing about you or your teams goes with these requests, though like any website the NWS sees your iPhone’s internet address. The NWS is a US government agency, and what it keeps from these requests is covered by the NWS privacy policy.
If you tap Use my location when adding a field, Flagcheck asks for your location once and uses it as the field’s spot. That spot is saved as the field, stored on your iPhone and sent to the NWS as above. Flagcheck doesn’t follow where you go. You can also add a field by searching or dropping a pin, without location access.
The map and place search in Add field use Apple Maps, which Apple’s privacy policy covers.
Your fields, teams and practice times, the readings you log with their initials, the saved forecasts and your settings are all stored on your iPhone. Flagcheck’s widgets and Lock Screen countdown read them there. Reminders are scheduled on your iPhone too, with no server in between.
When you export the log as a PDF or CSV, the file goes only where you send it.
The unlock is sold through the App Store. Apple handles the payment, and Flagcheck only learns whether the unlock is active.
Everything Flagcheck stores stays on your iPhone until you delete it. Delete a reading by swiping it in Readings, or from the reading itself. Delete a field or a practice from its edit screen. A deleted field takes its practices with it, and its readings stay in the log until you delete them. Deleting the app removes everything Flagcheck stored. If you back up your iPhone, the backup includes Flagcheck’s data, as it does for your other apps. Exports you shared stay wherever you sent them. To take back location access or turn off reminders, go to Settings, then Apps, then Flagcheck.
Flagcheck collects nothing from anyone, children included.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
