FightCuePrivacy policy
No account, no ads, no tracking, and we never sell data.
Last updated 13 November 2026. This policy covers the FightCue app for iPhone and Android and this website. It is written to meet South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What we collect
Only two things, and only so your alarms work:
- Your phone's push token. A random identifier that Apple or Google gives the app so it can receive notifications. It doesn't contain your name, number or email.
- Which fights you set alarms for. When you tap the bell on a fight, the app subscribes your push token to a "topic" named after that fight (for example
bout_401912275), so we can tell you when it's about to start.
Both are held by Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging, which delivers our notifications on our behalf. Our own server never receives your push token and keeps no list of who set alarms for which fight: it only sends messages to topic names.
What we don't collect
- No account, name, email address, phone number, contacts or location.
- No analytics, advertising, crash-reporting or tracking tools, in the app or on this website.
- No cookies. This website loads no third-party scripts or fonts. A small script shows times in your time zone, in your browser only.
- No access logs. Our servers don't record your IP address. To stop abuse, the server counts requests per IP address in memory for one minute; that count is never saved.
Your alarm choices, settings and the app's estimate history stay only on your phone.
Why we use it (legal basis)
We process the push token and your topic subscriptions only to deliver the alarms and notifications you asked for. Under GDPR the legal basis is performing the service you request (Article 6(1)(b)); under POPIA it is processing needed to provide that service (section 11(1)(b)). We don't use it for marketing, profiling or anything else, and we never sell or share it.
Who processes it
- Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging) stores push tokens and topic subscriptions and delivers notifications through Apple's and Google's push services. Google may process this data outside your country, including in the United States, under its standard data protection terms. See Firebase's privacy information.
- Our server (rented from Oracle Cloud) holds fight data only: fighter names, weight classes, times and results. No personal data.
How long we keep it
- The app unsubscribes from a fight's topic when you remove the alarm or the fight is over.
- Deleting the app removes everything on your phone. Firebase then stops delivering to the token and deletes it after a period of inactivity (about 270 days).
- Fight data and our backups contain no personal data. Backups are kept for 14 days.
Your rights
Under POPIA and GDPR you can ask what personal data we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, or to stop processing it. Because we have no accounts and never see your push token, we can't link any data to you. You control it directly: remove an alarm to unsubscribe from that fight, turn off notifications in your phone's settings, or delete the app to remove everything. If you still have a question or request, email support@fightcueapp.com and we'll reply within 30 days.
You can also complain to a regulator: in South Africa, the Information Regulator; in the EU or UK, the data protection authority where you live.
Children
FightCue is meant for adults and isn't directed at children under 18.
Changes
If this policy changes we'll update this page and the date above. For a material change we'll also say so in the app's release notes.
