ScoutDial — Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 19, 2026
ScoutDial is an iOS app for following and scouting Major League Baseball players and teams. This policy explains what data the app handles, why, and the choices you have. We keep it short because the app collects very little.
Sign-in is optional
You can use nearly all of ScoutDial — browsing players and teams, scores, standings, your local watchlist, notes, rosters, scouting reports, and live looks — without an account. Data you create stays on your device unless you sign in.
What we collect
We only collect data when you choose to sign in or create content:
- Account info. When you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive a stable user identifier and, if you allow it, your name and email address. Apple may provide a private relay email. We use this solely to identify your account across devices.
- Your content. If you sign in, the things you create — watchlist, scouting notes, custom rosters, scouting report cards, live looks, favorite team, and app preferences — are synced to your account so they follow you across devices.
What we do not do
- No advertising and no ad networks.
- No third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.
- No location collection.
- We never sell or rent your data, and we do not use it for advertising.
How your data is used
Account and content data is used only to provide the app’s features — signing you in and syncing your content across your devices. That’s it.
Where it is stored
Synced data is stored in a Postgres database (Supabase) hosted in the United States, and transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections.
Third-party services
- Sign in with Apple / Google — used only to authenticate you. Their own privacy policies govern the sign-in step.
- MLB Stats API — ScoutDial reads publicly available baseball data (players, teams, schedules, scores, standings, statistics). No personal data of yours is sent to it.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account and all data synced to it at any time from within the app: Account → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account record and all associated notes, rosters, reports, and looks from our servers. Content stored only on your device is removed when you delete the app. You can also request deletion by emailing bmhauser@gmail.com.
Children
ScoutDial is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update the date above and post the revised version here.
