Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2026
The short version
We collect the minimum data needed to run your hockey group. We don't sell it, we don't show you ads, and we don't track you across the internet. Your data powers your league — that's it.
What we collect
First name, last name, email address, and position (player or goalie). Phone number and city are optional. City is used for the spare pool — helping organizers find local spares.
RSVPs, attendance records, team assignments, group memberships, and season stats. This is the core of what makes the app work — tracking who's playing, who's out, and what teams look like.
Page views and performance metrics via Vercel Analytics. This data is aggregate and anonymous — we can see that 50 people visited the landing page, but not who they were. No user IDs, no cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting.
What we don't collect
How we use your data
Who sees your data
Organizers see your name, email, phone (if provided), position, attendance history, and fee status. They need this to run the group.
Players see your name, position, and attendance status. Contact info visibility is controlled by the group organizer's privacy settings.
If your group has a public page enabled, visitors see first names and last initials only. No emails, phones, or stats are shown publicly.
Third-party services
We use three services to run BeerHockey. Each receives only the data it needs.
Stores all app data — player profiles, groups, events, attendance. Hosted in the US/EU. We use their API, not their public-facing CMS.
Sends RSVP reminders, spare invites, password resets, and organizer digests. Receives your email address and event details. Does not use your data for marketing.
Hosts the app and collects anonymous page view analytics. No personal data is sent to Vercel Analytics — it's aggregate traffic data only.
Data retention
Your account data and hockey activity are kept as long as your account exists. Activity logs used for organizer notifications are retained for 7 days. Audit logs for security events are retained indefinitely.
If you want your account deleted, email us at admin@beerhockey.ca. We'll anonymize your account within 30 days — your name, email, phone, and profile image are wiped. Attendance and fee records are kept in anonymized form so group statistics and financial records stay intact. We recommend using the "Export My Data" button in settings before requesting deletion.
