BonusBaller is an iPhone app for running group lotteries, like a football club's bonus ball game or an office syndicate. This policy explains what information the app handles and where it goes.
The short version: we don't collect any personal data. Everything you enter stays on your device, or in your own iCloud if you choose to sync. We never see it.
At a glance
- There's no account or sign-up.
- There's no analytics, advertising or tracking, and no third-party code in the app.
- We (the developer) never receive the games, names or numbers you enter.
- Purchases are handled entirely by Apple.
What you enter into the app
To run a game, you enter information such as game names, player names, the numbers each player picks, the numbers drawn and their dates, round winners and the days your game draws on. The app also remembers a few settings, such as which game you last opened, when you last made a backup and whether iCloud sync is switched on.
All of this is stored in the app's private storage on your iPhone. It isn't sent to us or to anyone else.
Other people's names
Running a game usually means typing in other people's names. These stay on your device (and in your own iCloud or backups, if you use them). If you'd rather, use first names, initials or nicknames, and let your players know you're keeping their numbers in the app. You can edit or remove a player, or delete a whole game, at any time.
iCloud sync (optional)
Where the app offers iCloud sync and you switch it on, your games are stored in your private iCloud database using Apple's CloudKit, so they appear on your other devices signed in to the same Apple Account. This data is only accessible to your Apple Account; we can't see it. Apple's privacy policy applies to iCloud. You can switch sync off at any time in the app's settings.
Backups
The app can save a backup file of all your games, including player names and numbers, to a place you choose, such as iCloud Drive or On My iPhone in the Files app. You control that file. Restoring a backup replaces the games currently in the app.
Sharing results
When you share results, the app creates a message or picture of the current standings, which includes player names and numbers, and hands it to the iPhone share sheet. It goes only to the app or people you choose, such as a WhatsApp group.
Purchases
BonusBaller Pro is a one-off in-app purchase processed by Apple. We don't receive your payment details or Apple Account information. The app checks with Apple whether Pro has been bought on your Apple Account so it can unlock Pro features.
What the app doesn't do
- It doesn't access your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone.
- It doesn't show ads or use advertising identifiers.
- It doesn't track you across other apps or websites.
- It doesn't sell or share data with anyone, because we don't have any.
Information from Apple
If you've chosen to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone settings, Apple may give us anonymous crash reports and usage statistics, such as how many times the app was opened. These don't identify you and don't include anything you've entered into the app. You can change this in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements.
Deleting your data
- Delete a game in the app to remove its players, draws and history.
- Deleting the app removes everything stored on your device.
- If you used iCloud sync, you can remove the app's iCloud data in Settings › [your name] › iCloud.
- Delete any backup files you made in the Files app.
Children
BonusBaller isn't directed at children and doesn't collect personal data from anyone, including children.
Your rights
Because we don't hold any of your personal data, there's nothing for us to give you a copy of, correct or delete. Your data is under your control on your own devices. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us. If you're in the UK, you also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
