Privacy Policy for Jornada: Tournament Maker

Effective November 9, 2026. It describes version 1.1 of the app (io.github.ganbapps.torneos), published by Ganbapps. This policy is also available in Spanish.

1. Who publishes the app

Jornada: Tournament Maker (“the app”; in Spanish, “Jornada: Crear Torneos y Ligas”) is published by Ganbapps, an independent developer based in Spain. Contact: soporte@ganbapps.com.

Ganbapps has no servers that receive data from the app. The only information that reaches us directly is what you write to us by email (section 11) and what Google Play makes available to us: Pro order data (section 4.4) and aggregated statistics (section 4.7).

2. What is saved on your device

This data stays on your device. The app does not send it to Ganbapps or Google and does not use it to find out who you are. The only exceptions are Android backup, which the system makes if you have it on, and whatever you decide to share or export (section 3 and section 4.6).

• Your tournaments. The name, sport, format and its options; the names of the teams or players you type or paste; the schedule or the bracket; the scores; and the dates, times, courts and places you add.
• Your settings. The light or dark theme, the color style, vibration when saving and the last tournament you opened.
• Technical device data. The install date and the number of times the app was opened, whether you have Pro (according to Google Play) and when that was checked, the counters that limit ads, the last value of the remote ad switch (section 4.3), how many times a rating was requested and whether your privacy choices have been settled.

Other people’s names. The team and player names you type may belong to other people. They stay on your device and only leave it if you share an image, a text or a file. Share with the knowledge of the people who appear in it.

3. Backup, export and import

3.1 Android backup

The app allows Android’s automatic backup, with no account of its own. It includes your tournaments and your settings. It does not include the technical device data (Pro, counters and privacy choices).

If Google backup is on, Google keeps that backup in your account and restores it when you change phones or reinstall the app. The same happens if you move your data from one phone to another with Android’s transfer tool. Ganbapps does not receive that backup and cannot read it. Pro is restored from Google Play with the same Google account.

If you don’t want a backup, turn it off in Android settings (usually under Google > Backup).

3.2 Sending a tournament to another device

“Send to another phone” creates a file with one tournament (its names, scores and dates) and opens Android’s share sheet so you can send it with the app you choose. To import it, the app opens Android’s file picker and reads only the file you pick; it has no access to the rest of your files.

4. What data leaves your device

The app communicates with Google services in five cases: ads, privacy choices, the remote ad switch, purchases and ratings. None of them carries your tournaments or your settings. Ads can also load content from advertisers and ad partners (section 4.1).

4.1 Ads (Google AdMob) and the advertising ID

The app uses a Google software component (the Google Mobile Ads SDK, from AdMob) to show a banner and full-screen ads. While it runs (at start, when it requests an ad and when it shows it), it automatically sends Google:

• Your IP address, which Google can use to estimate your approximate location, not your exact location.
• Your interactions with ads: views, taps and video plays.
• Diagnostic information: start-up time, crashes and battery use.
• Device identifiers: the Android advertising ID, the app set ID and, where applicable, other identifiers of accounts signed in on the device.

This is used to show ads, measure their results and prevent fraud. The data travels encrypted and Google processes it under its own policies (section 9).

Ads are served by Google, but the one you see may come from an advertiser or ad partner of Google, which may also receive data such as your IP address and advertising ID to show and measure it. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, the consent form shows you the list of these partners and lets you choose.

When and how ads appear:

• The banner is only at the bottom of the home screen, apart from the buttons. Never in a tournament, in the score sheet of a match, while creating a tournament, when sharing, in the participants, in Settings or on the Pro screen.
• Full-screen ads only appear when you go back to the home screen from a tournament or when you create a tournament, from the second time you open the app, at least three minutes apart and at most three a day. Never while you enter a score, when you share or come back from sharing, when the app opens, after a champion is crowned or on the day the app asks you for a rating.
• The banner may appear from the first time you open the app.
• In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, the app requests no ads, so this component does not start and does not read the advertising ID, until you have answered the consent form (section 4.2), and only if your answer allows it.
• Ads are limited to general-audience content (G rating in AdMob), and ads for gambling and betting and for alcohol are blocked.
• With Pro, the app neither requests nor shows ads.

4.2 Privacy choices (Google User Messaging Platform, UMP)

The app uses another Google component, User Messaging Platform (UMP), to find out whether the law where you are requires a message about your privacy choices and, if so, to show it: the consent form in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, and, where Google shows it, the opt-out message for the U.S. state privacy laws (section 10). Your answer is saved on your device. To find out whether a message is needed, this component asks Google, which sees your IP address, as with any internet connection. This request contains neither your tournaments nor your settings.

4.3 Remote ad switch (Firebase Remote Config)

The app asks Firebase Remote Config, a Google service, whether ads are on and with which limits (for example, the maximum per day). This way ads can be turned on, adjusted or removed without publishing a new version. The remote values have caps built into the app: for example, never more than six full-screen ads a day or less than one minute between two, and never on the screens where they aren’t allowed.

For that, the Firebase component sends Google: a Firebase installation ID (a code per installation that, according to Google, does not uniquely identify a person or a device), the country code, language, time zone, Android version, SDK version, the app’s package name and its Firebase ID.

The app only makes this request when it can already request ads (in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, after you answer the form) and at most once an hour.

4.4 Purchases (Google Play Billing)

Pro is a one-time in-app purchase. Payment, the receipt and refunds are handled by Google Play: Ganbapps does not receive your card or payment details. The app asks Google Play whether your account has Pro, to remove the ads and the signature on images, unlock the Pro color styles and restore it if you change devices, and saves only the result on your device.

When you buy, Google Play makes order data available to Ganbapps (for example, order number, product and amount) to handle sales, refunds and taxes. We do not use it for anything else.

4.5 Rating the app (Google Play)

After several rounds are completed or a tournament ends, the app may ask you to rate it with Google Play’s rating window. It is shown and handled by Google Play: the app does not know whether you rated it or what score or text you left. So as not to insist, the app notes on your device how many times it asked and when.

4.6 Sharing images, texts and tournaments

When you share the standings, a round or the bracket as an image or as text, or export a tournament, the app prepares the image or the file in its private storage and hands it to Android’s share sheet. The app you choose (messaging, email, files…) receives what you see in the preview: the tournament name and the names and scores in it. The app grants read access only to that app and only for that file, and deletes the previous one each time you share. Ganbapps receives none of this.

4.7 What we see in Google Play

Google Play Console gives us aggregated statistics about the app: installs, ratings and reviews, and errors or unexpected closures from devices that share that data with Google. They identify no one and help us improve the app.

5. Ads: how to change your choices

• In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland. Before requesting any ad, the app shows you a Google form where you can accept, refuse or adjust your options. If you refuse, your data is not used to personalize ads; depending on your choice, you will see limited ads or none.
• In U.S. states with a privacy law. Where Google’s message for those laws applies, you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for personalized ads (section 10).
• How to change it. Open Settings and tap the “Privacy” row: the message opens again and you can change your choice or withdraw your consent at any time. The row appears where the law requires a message, from the first time you open the app.
• Everywhere. Ads may be personalized according to the ad settings of your Google account and your device. You can limit personalization, or reset or delete your advertising ID, in Android settings (usually under Privacy > Ads) and in Google My Ad Center.
• Removing ads. With Pro, the app stops requesting them.

6. What the app does not do

• It has no account or sign-in, and it does not publish your tournaments anywhere.
• It does not handle money, entry fees, betting or prizes.
• It does not collect your name, email, phone number, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, messages or precise location.
• It has no access to your files: it only reads the file you pick when importing and saves nothing outside its private storage.
• It sends no alerts or notifications.
• This version includes no usage analytics of its own and no third-party crash reports. If a future version adds them, we will update this policy first.
• It does not sell your data or build profiles from what you organize.

7. Permissions

The app asks for no permission while you use it. To work, it declares these, which Android grants at install time:

• Internet and network state. For ads, privacy choices, the remote switch, purchases, ratings and the online privacy policy. Creating tournaments, entering scores, sharing and exporting work offline.
• Advertising ID. Lets the ad component read the advertising ID (section 5).
• Basic phone state. Requested by Google’s ad component to know the connection type. The app does not read your calls or your number.
• Keep the device awake. Used by the ad component and Android’s internal tasks to finish what they are doing; the app does not keep the screen from turning off.
• Google Play purchases. To buy and restore Pro.

The app uses no alarms, notifications, shared storage or foreground services.

8. Why we may process this data

• Your consent (art. 6.1.a of the GDPR and art. 22.2 of the Spanish LSSI): for ads and the remote switch in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland. You can withdraw it at any time (section 5), without affecting what came before.
• Performance of a contract (art. 6.1.b): to provide Pro and restore it.
• Legitimate interest (art. 6.1.f): to answer your questions by email and for Google Play’s aggregated statistics.
• Outside the EEA, we follow the laws of the place where you live, including the U.S. state privacy laws (section 10).

You manage the tournaments you organize on your own device; Ganbapps does not process them.

9. Who receives it and international transfers

The data in section 4 is received by Google (AdMob, UMP, Firebase and Google Play) and, for ads, by Google’s ad partners (section 4.1). Ganbapps does not receive it. Ganbapps only sees what Google Play shows: Pro order data and aggregated statistics (sections 4.4 and 4.7). We do not sell any data for money and do not share it with anyone else. Google may process it on servers in several countries, including the United States, with the safeguards it describes in its policies:

• Google Privacy Policy
• How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services
• Privacy and Security in Firebase

10. U.S. state privacy rights

Some U.S. states (for example California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and others) give their residents rights over their personal information. This is how they apply to the app:

• What is collected, and by whom. Through the Google components in section 4: identifiers (the advertising ID, the app set ID and the IP address), internet activity (your interactions with ads), approximate location estimated from the IP address and, if you buy Pro, the order data that Google Play makes available to us. Your tournaments and settings are not collected: they stay on your device. We do not collect sensitive personal information.
• Why. To show and measure ads, prevent fraud, provide Pro and answer your emails.
• “Sale” or “sharing”. Ganbapps does not sell personal information for money. Showing Google ads that can be personalized may count as “selling” or “sharing” personal information for targeted advertising under some of these laws. You can opt out on the “Privacy” row in Settings, where Google’s message for these laws applies, and in any state by deleting your advertising ID or turning off ad personalization in Android settings (section 5). Pro removes the ads altogether.
• Your other rights. You can ask us to know, correct or delete personal information, and you will not be treated differently for using your rights. Because Ganbapps does not receive data from the app, most of it is under your control on your device (section 12) or is handled by Google (section 13). Write to soporte@ganbapps.com; if we deny a request, you can write again to appeal, and we will answer within the time the law of your state sets.

11. Contact and questions

Write to soporte@ganbapps.com with any question or request about this policy. We will use your email address and the content of your message only to answer you, and we will keep them as long as needed to handle your request and any complaints. We send no newsletters or marketing messages. The inbox runs on Cloudflare and Google (Gmail) services.

12. How long data is kept and how to delete it

• On your device. Until you delete it or uninstall the app. You can delete one tournament from its menu, or everything at once by clearing the app’s data in Android settings (usually under Apps > Jornada > Storage > Clear data).
• In the Google backup. It is replaced at the next backup. You can delete it in the backup settings of your Google account.
• What you shared or exported. It is kept by the app or the person who received it; the app only keeps the last image or file in its private storage until you share another one.
• At Google (ads, privacy choices, Firebase and Google Play). Under Google’s policies. The advertising ID can be reset or deleted in Android (section 5).
• Emails. As explained in section 11.

13. Your rights

Under the GDPR, and under the law of your country or state if you live outside the EEA, you can ask for access to, correction, deletion, restriction and portability of your data, object to its processing and withdraw your consent. You can also file a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es) or the authority where you live.

In practice:

• You control the data on your device and delete it as explained in section 12. If someone asks you to remove their name from a tournament, you can change it in “Participants”.
• Your privacy choices change in Settings, on the “Privacy” row (section 5).
• Data processed by Google services is managed with Google, for example from your Google account and its ad settings. Ganbapps does not receive the data from ads, privacy choices or ratings, and cannot link it to you; of Pro orders, it only sees what Google Play shows.
• If you write to soporte@ganbapps.com, we will answer within one month at most, or sooner if the law where you live requires it. If you ask about data we do not have or cannot link to you, we will explain that.

14. Minors

The app is for people 18 or older, and it is declared that way in Google Play. It is not directed at minors, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. Ads are limited to general-audience content. If you are a parent or guardian and a minor in your care uses the app, you can uninstall it (its local data is deleted) and reset their advertising ID in Android. You can also write to us.

15. Security

The app’s communications with Google services are encrypted (TLS). Your local data is stored in the app’s private storage on your device, protected by Android.

16. Changes to this policy

If what the app collects or shares changes (for example, if a future version adds analytics or alerts), we will update this page before publishing that version and change the effective date at the top. The policy is also in the app, in Settings, on the “Privacy policy” row.
