Privacy Policy
Version 1.0 · 5 October 2026 (05-10-2026)
POINT (PUNTO in Spanish) is a padel scoreboard for Apple Watch and iPhone. This policy explains what data the app handles. It has two very different parts: the scoreboard, which collects no data, and Rooms, an optional mode that needs an account and a cloud service.
In short
- The scoreboard works without an account and offline. Your matches stay on your watch and your iPhone. We send nothing to any server. Until you enter Rooms, the app makes no network connection at all.
- Your Health data stays in Health. It never reaches Einitia.
- Rooms is optional. Only if you enter Rooms is an account created (with Sign in with Apple or as a guest) and your profile, rooms and room matches stored in the cloud.
- No ads, no tracking, no analytics. We do not sell data.
- You can delete your account from the app at any time.
1. Who is the controller
- Data controller: Einitia Internet Solutions Sociedad Limitada (tax ID B99341240).
- Address: Av. Patio de los Naranjos, 21, Casablanca, 50022 Zaragoza (Spain).
- Privacy and support contact: info@einitia.com.
- We have not appointed a data protection officer. For any privacy matter, write to the address above.
2. The scoreboard, without an account
The scoreboard (Apple Watch and iPhone app) asks for no account, does not use your location, has no ads or tracking and sends no data to any server.
- Match data. Points, scores and the optional names of opponents are stored on your watch. If you use the iPhone app, the history is copied to your iPhone over the connection between your own devices (WatchConnectivity). It does not leave your devices. Opponent names are optional: type only the ones you want.
- Notifications. Reminders and time-limit alerts are local notifications on your watch.
- Export and delete. From the iPhone app you can export your matches as CSV. You can discard a match in progress, delete reminders and remove all local data by uninstalling the app.
Health (watch only, and only if you turn it on)
"Score only" requests no permissions. If you turn on "Record workout", POINT asks for access to Health to read your heart rate and active energy during the match (to show them on the watch and in the summary) and to write the match to Health as a workout. Health data stays in Health, under your control: we do not use it for advertising or profiling, sell it, share it, or send it to Einitia or to any server, Rooms included. You can change or revoke access in iPhone Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices.
3. Rooms: what data we process
This part applies only if you use Rooms.
| Category | Data | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Account | User ID (the "account code" you see in My profile); sign-in type (Apple or guest); with Sign in with Apple, your name if you choose to share it. We do not ask for your email address. | You and Apple |
| Public profile | Display name, nickname, preferred side, hand, level and club (the last three optional). The avatar is generated from your initials and a colour: no photos | You |
| Settings and consents | Who can see your history, whether you agree to show your name in shared results, and when you agreed | You |
| Rooms | Room code and link, members, position, team, permissions and status | You and the room creator |
| Matches | Scoreboard events (points, games, sets, time) and match summary, tied to the participating users | Whoever scores |
| Guests without an account | The name typed by the person who adds them to the room, their position and the result | The person who adds them, not the guest |
| Security and operation | IP addresses and technical service logs; an app-installation identifier (generated by POINT; it is neither the advertising identifier nor your device's) and App Check technical identifiers; reports, blocks and your account's moderation status, with notices of any action taken | The device and the service |
Never sent to the cloud: health or workout data, accessibility settings (such as VoiceOver), location or contacts. Names are not included in scoreboard events.
The Apple Watch in a room. If you follow or score a room with your watch, the watch talks directly to the Rooms service (not through the iPhone) while the app is open, using a temporary access your iPhone gives it: limited to that room, valid for up to 4 hours and tied to your account and to the watch installation. It sends the same match data as the iPhone (scoreboard events and the live state) and the service receives, as with any connection, the IP address. The watch keeps that access and the room's names, sent by the iPhone, in its local storage, excluded from backups, and deletes them when you leave the room, sign out or are removed, or when the room is no longer followed (whatever it could not upload stays stored until it uploads or its access expires). Outside a room the watch makes no network connection.
4. Purposes and legal bases
| Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR art. 6) |
|---|---|
| Creating and keeping your account, rooms, matches and history | Performance of a contract (6.1.b) |
| Showing your public profile (display name, nickname and anything else you set) to the members of the rooms you play in | Performance of a contract (6.1.b): it is necessary to play in a room and cannot be withdrawn without ceasing to use Rooms (you can delete your account) |
| Showing your name in shared results | Consent (6.1.a), which you can withdraw at any time in the app settings |
| Security, abuse prevention, moderation and handling reports | Legitimate interests (6.1.f) |
| Responding to legal requests | Legal obligation (6.1.c) |
| Recording the name of a guest added to a room by someone else | Legitimate interests (6.1.f) of the person adding them and of Einitia; you can ask us to erase it without needing an account (section 12) |
Your name is shown in shared results only if you have consented; it is off by default.
5. What others can see
- Other players in your room see your public profile (display name, and nickname, side, hand, level and club if you set them) and the match.
- Your history is private: you see it and, if you choose, your room mates. There is no public history.
- Shared result pages (
https://punto-salas-prod.web.app/r/…): if you share a link, whoever opens it sees the result and only the names of people who consented. Names of guests without an account never appear. These pages use no cookies or trackers. - Social networks and messaging: only if you share a card or link. From then on the copy depends on that platform.
6. Who receives the data
- Google (Firebase), as processor: Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions, Hosting and App Check. The database and the functions are in the European Union (Firestore in the
eur3multi-region; functions ineurope-west1). Your account (Authentication) and some technical logs (for example function logs, App Check and the delivery network of the pages) are processed by Google in its data centres, also outside the European Economic Area, with the safeguards in section 7. - Apple, for Sign in with Apple.
- Microsoft (Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, Microsoft 365), Einitia's email provider, as processor, to receive the messages you send us (support, reports and rights requests). If Microsoft processes any data outside the European Economic Area, it does so with the safeguards of its data processing agreement (European Commission standard contractual clauses).
- Authorities, when required by law.
We do not sell data or use it for advertising. We use no analytics or advertising SDK.
7. International transfers
Although the database and the functions are in the EU, account data (Authentication) and some technical logs may be processed outside the European Economic Area, and Google may access the rest from outside the EEA to operate the service (for example, support and security). These transfers rely on the Firebase Data Processing Terms, which incorporate the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, and on Google's participation in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
8. How long we keep data
| Data | Period |
|---|---|
| Rooms (room, members and intermediate data) | 30 days after the room ends |
| Matches and history | Until you delete them or delete your account |
| Account and profile (guest accounts too) | Until you delete the account |
| Guest name without an account | While the match exists, or until claimed or erasure is requested |
| Reports (with a copy of the reported text and the identifiers of the reporter and of the reported account) | 12 months after resolution; those that are never resolved, 24 months at most from creation. They are kept even if you delete your account, to handle claims and defend rights (GDPR art. 17(3)(e)) |
| Blocks you make | Until you unblock or delete your account |
| Your account's moderation status (name hidden, suspension) and action notices | Until you delete your account |
| Usage-limit counters | Deleted 24 hours after the last activity, or with the account |
| Provider technical logs and backups | Google's limited retention periods; after deletion they may persist for a limited time |
| Rights requests and support | As long as needed to handle them and to show compliance |
9. Your rights and how to exercise them
You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing.
- In the app: you can change your name, withdraw consent to show it in shared results, delete matches from your history and export your scoreboard matches. Deleting your account (My profile > "Delete account", also offered on the "Rooms unavailable" screen if the service is paused) removes your account and data, revokes Sign in with Apple access and makes your name disappear from other people's matches (only a technical identifier with no name or profile remains there). Reports made about you or by you are kept until their deadline (section 8).
- By email: write to info@einitia.com (also to ask for a copy of your data). Because Rooms does not ask for your email, include your account code (My profile > Account > "Account code") so we know which account is yours. We reply within one month at most. We may ask for information to confirm it is you.
- Complaints: if you think your rights are not respected, you can complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es) or to the authority of your country.
10. Minimum age
Rooms is for people aged 16 or over. If you think someone under 16 has an account, write to us and we will delete it. The scoreboard without an account collects data from no one, including children.
11. Copies we cannot erase
Even if you delete your account, the app cannot remove:
- copies stored on other people's devices (for example, another player's local history);
- device and service backups, until they expire;
- anything you shared on social networks or messaging apps (images, caches and link previews).
12. If someone added you as a guest
If someone added you to a room as a guest and you have no account, we received your name from them, not from you. Write to info@einitia.com with the room or link and we will erase or anonymise your name, without you needing to create an account. Your name does not appear on public result pages. If the person who added you had no permission, tell us.
13. Reports and blocks
You can report profiles, members, guests, rooms and shared results, and block other accounts, from the app. We process reports to protect the community (legitimate interests) and keep their record as in section 8. If we take action on your name, we tell you in the app (My profile) with the reason and the date, and you can appeal at info@einitia.com. More in the terms of use.
14. Automated decisions
We make no automated decisions with legal effects about you. A name filter may reject or ask you to change inappropriate names.
15. Security
Data travels encrypted, the database access rules deny by default, the service checks that requests come from the genuine app (App Check) and we limit requests per user. No system is infallible; if a breach affects you, we will inform you as the law requires.
16. Changes
If we change this policy materially, we will notify you in the app before it applies and update the version and date.
