Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information the Breakfast Baseball app handles and how. If you have questions, contact us at support@breakfastbaseball.com.
Profile and preferences stay on your device — we do not collect or store your display name, favorite team, or other profile fields on our servers.
The app fetches public baseball statistics from our API to show scores, leaderboards, and highlights.
Optional anonymous usage and crash data may be sent to our API to help us understand how the app is used and fix problems. This is on by default; you can turn it off anytime in Settings.
We do not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs (e.g. Firebase, Mixpanel, Amplitude).
We do not sell your data or track you across other companies' apps or websites for advertising.
Information stored on your device
The following is saved locally on your iPhone or iPad using iOS storage (UserDefaults). It is not uploaded to our servers as profile data and is not linked to an account:
You can remove this data by deleting the app or clearing individual items (e.g. search history) where the app allows it.
Information sent to our API
When you use the app, it connects to our baseball statistics API to load content. Requests include only what is needed to fetch that content, for example:
These requests contain public baseball information, not your profile name or favorite team. The app does not send a user account ID, email, or password — there is no sign-in.
Our server may receive standard technical data with any web request, such as IP address, device type, and timestamps. We use this only to operate and protect the service, not for advertising or cross-app tracking.
Anonymous usage & crash reporting OPTIONAL
If Share Anonymous Usage Data is enabled in Settings (the default), the app sends limited, anonymous information to our API. We run this ourselves — we do not use a third-party analytics provider. Each install is assigned a random anonymous ID stored on your device. It is not tied to your name, email, Apple ID, or profile. Along with that ID, we may send:
What we do not collect in analytics
Your control & retention
You can turn off Share Anonymous Usage Data at any time in Settings → Privacy. When disabled, the app stops sending new usage events and crash summaries. One final "opt out" event may be sent so we can record that you chose to disable sharing.
Anonymous usage and crash records are stored on our servers in aggregated log files. We keep them only as long as needed for analysis and reliability, then delete or aggregate them. They are not linked to your profile or an account.
Third-party services
All in-app stats, leaderboards, game data, highlight metadata, and optional anonymous analytics are handled by our API. We control that service. Your device-stored profile data (name, favorite team) is not sent to analytics endpoints.
When you watch a highlight, the app may open MLB Film Room in an in-app browser or Safari. That content is hosted by Major League Baseball, not by us. MLB's own privacy policy applies to that site. Breakfast Baseball does not host or embed video.
The app is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple may collect information according to its privacy policy. Crash summaries we receive come from Apple MetricKit diagnostics processed by the app and sent to our server when you have sharing enabled. This is separate from Apple's optional device-level crash reporting, which Apple handles directly if you enable it in iOS settings.
What we do not do
Children
Breakfast Baseball is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Data retention
On your device: data remains until you change or delete it, or uninstall the app. On our servers: we do not store your profile. Anonymous analytics, crash records, and access logs are kept only as long as needed for operation and security.
Your choices
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
