Privacy Policy

Dean's List is built to be useful without knowing anything about you. This page describes exactly what the app collects, what it doesn't, and how to get in touch.

What we collect

Nothing personal. Dean's List does not require an account, does not link data to your identity, and does not sell or share user data with third parties for advertising.

Analytics

Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics collect anonymous, aggregated usage data — screen views, feature adoption, and crash reports. No user identifiers, no advertising IDs, no linked identity. This helps me understand which features get used so I can focus development.

Local storage

Your favorite teams, recent searches, onboarding state, and Pro subscription status are stored on your device via Apple's UserDefaults (and a shared App Group container for widget access). This data never leaves your device.

Third-party data sources

Game data, player stats, standings, and odds are fetched from the balldontlie NCAAB API. Dean's List sends only the queries needed to render the current screen. No personal information is transmitted with these requests.

Subscriptions

Dean's List Pro is handled entirely by Apple's App Store via StoreKit 2. Dean's List never sees your payment method, billing address, or Apple ID. The app only receives a signed entitlement confirming whether your subscription is active.

Apple Intelligence (AI Game Recaps)

Dean's List Pro's AI Game Recaps are generated on-device using Apple's Foundation Models. Prompts and generated recaps stay on your device — nothing is sent to a cloud AI service, and no reading behavior is logged or transmitted.

Data deletion

Because Dean's List holds no personal data, no deletion request is required. Uninstalling the app removes all local storage. Subscriptions can be managed under Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your device.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes materially, the "Effective" date at the top of this page updates and — for major changes — an in-app notice appears the next time you open Dean's List.
