Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

GoodGame is made by Honey Dog Media LLC, a Minnesota company ("we", "us"). This policy explains what the GoodGame iPhone app and this website do with information, as GoodGame is built today. When we add a feature that changes this, we'll update this policy before the feature ships.

GoodGame is for the adults who run a team's stream: coaches, parents and volunteers. In this policy, "you" means that person, the operator.

2. What stays on your phone

GoodGame stores what it needs on your iPhone, not with us. We never receive it.

Recordings. GoodGame saves a recording of each game on your phone. You decide what to keep, delete or share. Game video is large, so GoodGame keeps recordings out of iCloud and device backups. If you want a copy somewhere else, move it yourself from the Files app. Recording file names use the date and team names only, and GoodGame writes no location into the files.

Removing data. You can delete recordings in the Files app, and team setups in GoodGame. Deleting the app deletes its stored data and recordings. Items in the iOS Keychain can remain after an app is deleted, so to remove your Google sign-in, use DISCONNECT in GoodGame before you delete the app.

GoodGame doesn't use cookies. The storage described above is the only data GoodGame keeps on your device.

3. Camera, microphone and your stream

GoodGame asks for the camera and microphone to make your stream. The video and sound are put together on your phone and sent directly to your own YouTube channel over an encrypted connection (RTMPS). GoodGame runs no server in between, and we never receive your video or sound.

GoodGame shows when you're on air, and the microphone is only used while you're live. You can turn off camera or microphone access at any time in iOS Settings › GoodGame.

What you stream is published by YouTube under your channel and YouTube's rules. YouTube's handling of your stream and its viewers is covered by Google's Privacy Policy, not this one.

4. YouTube and Google (YouTube API Services)

GoodGame uses YouTube API Services. By using GoodGame's YouTube features you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's handling of your information is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

Connecting your channel

You can stream by entering your channel's stream key, or you can connect your YouTube channel by signing in with Google. When you connect, Google asks your permission for GoodGame to manage your YouTube account (the scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl).

What GoodGame does with that access

GoodGame uses it only to:

• find or create the live broadcast for the game you're streaming;
• link that broadcast to your channel's stream;
• take the broadcast live;
• read the broadcast's status, so the app can show you it's working;
• end the broadcast.

New broadcasts that GoodGame creates are set to Unlisted and not made for kids by default. You can change them in YouTube.

GoodGame doesn't read, change or delete your other videos, comments, subscribers or channel settings, and it doesn't use your YouTube data for advertising.

What's stored and shared

The Google sign-in token is stored in your phone's Keychain (this device only) and sent only to Google and YouTube. Information GoodGame reads about your broadcasts is used on your phone to run the game you're streaming and is not sent to us or anyone else. We never receive your Google or YouTube data.

Disconnecting and revoking access

Tap DISCONNECT in GoodGame to sign out. GoodGame then revokes its access with Google and deletes the Google sign-in token and any other Google data it stored from your phone.

You can also remove GoodGame's access at any time from your Google Account's security settings: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.

Limited Use

GoodGame's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

5. Diagnostics and bug reports

GoodGame keeps a diagnostics log on your phone: technical notes about how the app and the stream are running. It stays on your phone.

If you choose Report a Bug, GoodGame opens an email to [email protected] with the diagnostics attached. Nothing is sent until you tap Send. Your stream key is removed from diagnostics before they're attached.

We use bug reports, and any other email you send us, only to help you and to fix GoodGame. Our email is hosted by Google Workspace. We keep bug reports and support emails for up to 12 months, then delete them.

6. Apple, TestFlight and the App Store

Apple delivers GoodGame to your phone. If you test GoodGame through TestFlight, Apple shares with us what its TestFlight terms describe, such as the name and email you were invited with, and any feedback, screenshots or crash reports you choose to send. If you've chosen in iOS settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may also send us crash reports and usage statistics that don't identify you. We use these only to fix and improve GoodGame. Apple's handling of this data is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.

7. This website

gogoodgame.com sets no cookies, runs no ads and has no forms. Its fonts and images are served from this site. Cloudflare hosts it; to deliver pages and protect the site, Cloudflare's servers handle standard technical details of each visit, such as your IP address and browser type. We don't use these to identify or follow you.

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and measure how fast pages load. Cloudflare says it does not collect visitors' personal data or track people across websites. We see only totals, such as page views, pages visited, referring sites, browser and country, never who you are. Cloudflare also hides our email addresses from spam bots; a small Cloudflare script shows them to you.

8. Children and streaming youth sports

GoodGame is for adults. There are no child accounts, and GoodGame doesn't collect personal information from children.

GoodGame streams youth sports, so streams will often show minors. The operator is responsible for having the team's or association's permission to stream and for following that policy. GoodGame helps limit exposure:

• new YouTube broadcasts start as Unlisted, so only people with the link can find them;
• recordings stay on your phone, and their file names use only the date and team names;
• GoodGame writes no location into streams or recordings.

If you're a parent or guardian and want a stream or recording taken down, contact the team or association that made it. They control their YouTube channel. You can also report it to YouTube, or email us at [email protected] and we'll help you reach the right person.

9. Selling and sharing

We don't sell personal data, including sensitive data and data about children. We don't share it for advertising, and we don't use it to build profiles. GoodGame contains no third-party analytics, advertising or tracking code. The only outside services involved are the ones you use directly: YouTube and Google for your stream, and Apple for the app.

10. How long data is kept

11. Your rights

Minnesota's Consumer Data Privacy Act and similar laws give you rights over your personal data. Most of your GoodGame data is on your own phone, where you can see and delete it yourself. For anything we hold, like emails you've sent us, you can ask us to:

• confirm whether we have personal data about you, and give you a copy you can take elsewhere;
• correct it;
• delete it;
• tell you the third parties we've disclosed it to (normally none);
• stop any sale, targeted advertising or profiling (we don't do any of these).

Email [email protected]. We'll answer within 45 days and won't charge you. We may ask you to confirm the request came from you. If we turn down a request, we'll explain why and how to appeal; if you disagree with the outcome of your appeal, you can contact the Minnesota Attorney General.

12. Security

Your stream key and Google sign-in are kept in the iOS Keychain, limited to your device. Streams travel to YouTube over an encrypted connection. Because we don't run a server or keep your data, there's very little of it for anyone to get from us.

13. Changes to this policy

We'll update this policy before GoodGame starts handling information in a new way. We'll post the new version here with a new effective date.
