Changes to This Policy
1. Information We Collect
Account and profile data
When you create an account we collect your email address and, optionally, a display name, username, profile photo, belt rank, and gym affiliation. You can update or remove this information at any time from Edit Profile.
Membership and billing data
We store your membership tier, subscription status, and a billing customer reference so we can manage your paid access. Payment card details are handled entirely by our payment processor (Stripe) and are never stored on our servers.
Community activity
Posts, threads, replies, and likes you create in the community are stored and associated with your account. Moderation-related records may also be retained for platform safety.
Device and usage data
We collect device tokens required to deliver push notifications, your notification preference settings, and basic diagnostic information used to support your session and improve reliability.
Membership and device limits
A PocketDojo membership is for one person, and we apply device and simultaneous-stream limits to enforce that. To do so we record an identifier we generate for each device you sign in on, its type and operating system, your browser (on the web), a shortened form of your IP address, an approximate country, and when video playback starts and stops.
We shorten your IP address before storing it. Only the network portion is kept (the first three groups of an IPv4 address, or the first three blocks of an IPv6 address) — never the full address, which would identify your specific connection.
Approximate country only. We do not collect or store precise location, GPS, or street-level data.
Why we may do this. Applying the limits set out in our Terms is necessary to provide the service you paid for; detecting shared accounts is a legitimate interest in protecting the membership from misuse.
How long we keep it. Playback records are deleted after 90 days and device records after 400 days of not being used. You can see and remove your own devices at any time in Settings.
Device permissions
The app may request the following device permissions:
Camera / photo library — accessed only by authorised content administrators to upload training videos and images. Regular users are not prompted for these permissions.
Microphone / audio — requested by the media playback framework to support audio output. The app does not record audio from your microphone.
Notifications — used to deliver class reminders and community updates you opt into. You can withdraw consent at any time in your device settings.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the data we collect to:
Provide, maintain, and improve the PocketDojo app and services
Manage your membership and process billing events
Deliver push notifications and in-app messages you have opted into
Enforce community guidelines and respond to safety reports
Respond to support requests and diagnose technical issues
Meet legal and compliance obligations
We do not sell your personal data to third parties or use it for targeted advertising.
3. Data Sharing
We share data only with the service providers necessary to operate the app:
Supabase — our backend database and authentication provider. Your account and content data is stored in their infrastructure under a data processing agreement.
Stripe — our payment processor. Stripe receives billing information to manage subscriptions. Their privacy policy governs how they handle payment data.
Expo / push notification services — device tokens are shared with push delivery infrastructure to send notifications you have opted into.
We do not share your data with coaches, other users, or any unaffiliated third parties except as required by law.
4. Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your profile, community content, and associated data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for billing dispute resolution.
Anonymised or aggregated usage data that cannot identify you may be retained indefinitely for analytics.
5. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:
Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you
Correct inaccurate information in your profile
Request deletion of your account and associated data
Object to or restrict certain processing activities
Receive a portable copy of your data
You can initiate account deletion directly from Settings → Privacy → Delete Account. For other data requests, contact us at info@groundgametheory.com.
6. Security
We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted transit (HTTPS/TLS), row-level security policies on our database, and role-based access controls. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable precautions to protect your data.
7. Children
PocketDojo's content is suitable for general audiences, and minors may enjoy it under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian using the guardian's account. Accounts themselves may only be created by adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children under 13.
If you believe a child has created an account or provided us personal data without the consent of a parent or guardian, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via in-app notification or email. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
