Privacy Policy

Ballpark collects nothing. There is no account, no analytics, and no server to send anything to.

Last updated 27 July 2026.

What we collect

Nothing. Ballpark has no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, no advertising identifier, and no telemetry of any kind. We do not know who you are, that you installed the app, or that you opened it.

Your documents

The documents you write are plain text files stored on your device, in Ballpark's own folder. You can see them in the Files app under On My iPhone → Ballpark. They are never uploaded, transmitted, or read by us.

If you delete Ballpark, iOS deletes those files with it. Copy anything you want to keep out of the app first — they are ordinary .txt files and will open anywhere.

Settings

Your preferences — the interval convention, sample count and appearance — are stored on your device using the system's standard preferences store. They never leave it.

Purchases

Ballpark Pro is sold through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Apple handles the entire transaction. We never see your name, your payment details, or your Apple Account. All Ballpark receives from Apple is a yes-or-no answer to "has this device purchased Ballpark Pro?"

Apple's handling of that transaction is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy, not this one.

Network access

Ballpark makes no network requests of its own. The calculations run entirely on your device, offline, including when you have no signal. The only network activity is Apple's own, when you make or restore a purchase.

Children

Ballpark is rated 4+ and is safe for all ages. Since it collects no data whatsoever, it collects no data from children either.

Third parties

Ballpark bundles no third-party SDKs — no analytics, no advertising networks, no crash reporters. Nothing you type is shared with anyone, because nothing you type ever leaves your device. There are no parent, subsidiary, or related entities with access to your data, because there is no data to have access to.

Retention, deletion, and withdrawing consent

We retain nothing, so there is nothing for us to delete and no consent for you to withdraw. There is no account to close and no request to send us.

Everything Ballpark stores lives on your device:

• Your documents — delete one by swiping it in the library, or delete them all by removing the app. You can also manage them directly in the Files app under On My iPhone → Ballpark.
• Your settings — the interval convention, sample count, and appearance. Removing the app deletes these with it.
• Your purchase — held by Apple against your Apple Account, not by us. It survives deleting the app, which is why "Restore purchase" works.

Because your documents are stored on the device only, deleting Ballpark deletes them permanently. Copy out anything you want to keep first — they are ordinary .txt files.

Ballpark is not advice

Ballpark does arithmetic on numbers you type in. Its results are estimates, and they are only as good as the ranges you give it. Nothing it produces is financial, legal, tax, medical, or other professional advice, and it neither connects to nor moves money in any financial account.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of Ballpark ever collects anything — for example, if optional iCloud sync is added — this page will be updated before that version ships, and the app will ask before syncing anything.
