Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 8, 2026
TIROS ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.
Information We Collect
Data Stored Locally on Your Device
All of your shot data, personal bests, and preferences are stored locally on your device. We do not have access to this data, and it never leaves your phone unless you choose to delete the app or clear its data.
- Shot speeds and distances
- Personal best records
- Unit preferences (KM/H or MPH)
- Distance settings
Anonymous Analytics (Optional)
If you have not opted out, we collect anonymous usage analytics through Firebase Analytics. This helps us understand how the app is used and improve it for all users.
What we collect:
- App usage patterns (which features are used most)
- Session duration and frequency
- Device type and operating system version
- Country/region (not precise location)
- App version
What we DO NOT collect:
- Your name, email, or any personal identifiers
- Precise GPS location
- Photos, contacts, or other personal data
- Advertising identifiers
- Any data that could identify you personally
How We Use Your Information
The anonymous analytics data we collect is used solely to:
- Understand which features are popular and which need improvement
- Identify and fix bugs or crashes
- Make decisions about future app development
- Understand our user base demographics in aggregate
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Anonymous, aggregated analytics data is processed by Firebase (Google), which is our analytics provider. This data cannot be used to identify individual users.
Data Retention
Local data: Your shot data remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app. We have no access to this data.
Analytics data: Anonymous usage data is retained by Firebase according to their data retention policies (typically 14 months for user-level data).
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Delete all your local shot data at any time through the app
- Uninstall the app to remove all local data
- Request information about what data we have collected
- Request deletion of any data we may have
Children's Privacy
TIROS does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The app is designed to be used by all ages and does not require any personal information to function.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information processed through our app. Since we don't collect personal data, there is minimal risk to your privacy. All data transmitted to our analytics service is encrypted.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.

Legal Basis (GDPR)
For users in the European Economic Area, our legal basis for processing analytics data is our legitimate interest in improving our app and understanding how it is used. This processing is minimal, anonymous, and does not adversely affect your rights.
