The short version: Tally keeps what it needs to show your teams and send the alerts you ask for. No ads, no tracking, no analytics, and nothing sold or shared for marketing.
On your iPhone
- The teams and leagues you follow, the games you ring the bell on, and your settings.
- Saved scores, fixtures, tables and crests, so Tally works offline.
- If you add one, your API-Football key, kept in the iPhone Keychain.
Deleting Tally deletes all of this.
On Tally's server
To send alerts and keep the Lock Screen score current while Tally is closed, a small server (run on Cloudflare) keeps:
- A random id for your phone, made when Tally first opens. It isn't linked to your name, number or Apple ID.
- The push tokens Apple gives Tally, so alerts and Live Activity updates reach your phone.
- Your follows, bells and notification settings, by the match-data provider's team, league and game numbers.
- Your phone's time zone.
- For your favourites' coming games, what a Live Activity should show (team names, crests, kick-off), so it can start on its own.
- A log of the alerts sent, so nothing goes out twice.
If you sign in with Apple
Signing in is optional. It lets your follows and settings sync between your devices. Tally then also keeps the account id Apple gives it and the email Apple shares, which is often a private relay address that hides your real one.
If you join the beta
The form on the home page saves your email address and the date you gave it. Nothing else: no name, no IP address, no cookies. It's used to email you when the TestFlight beta opens and when Tally launches, and for nothing else. It's never shared or sold.
It's deleted once Tally is on the App Store, or sooner if you email support@tally-app.download.
Who else is involved
- Apple delivers alerts and Live Activity updates, and handles Sign in with Apple.
- Cloudflare hosts the server, this website and the beta list. Like any web host it sees the IP address a request comes from, and keeps request logs for a few days.
- API-Football supplies match data. Tally asks it for scores and fixtures, never for anything about you. While Tally uses your own API-Football key, those requests go from your phone, so API-Football sees your IP address and key.
None of them get your follows or settings from Tally, apart from what's needed to deliver a push.
How long it's kept
- A phone's record, with its follows and settings, is removed after 90 days without Tally being opened.
- The log of alerts sent is removed after 30 days.
- An account stays until you delete it.
- A beta sign-up stays until Tally is on the App Store, or until you ask.
Deleting your data
- Signed in: Settings → Account → Delete account removes the account straight away. Each of your phones keeps its own follows, as when you sign out; delete the app as well to remove those.
- Not signed in: delete the app. The phone's record goes after 90 days, or sooner if you email support@tally-app.download.
Children
Tally isn't made for children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect anything from them.
Changes
If what Tally keeps changes, this page changes with it, with a new date at the top.
