Privacy Policy – HEMA Tools Recorder (Mobile)
# Privacy Policy for HEMA Tools Recorder
**Effective date:** [DATE]
HEMA Tools Recorder (“the app”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a mobile application designed to help record HEMA matches with tournament-related overlays.
This Privacy Policy applies only to the HEMA Tools Recorder mobile application. It does not cover the HEMA Tools website, web platform, donation pages, or other web-based services.
## 1. Purpose of the app
HEMA Tools Recorder allows users to record HEMA matches using a mobile device camera and display tournament-related overlays, such as fighter names, scores, match information, and event data.
The app is intended as a companion recording tool for HEMA events and tournaments.
## 2. No account required
The app does not require users to create an account or sign in with Google.
The app may open tournament or match information through a link, QR code, or configuration provided by the HEMA Tools platform or by tournament organizers.
## 3. No payments in the app
The app does not include in-app purchases, subscriptions, donations, or payment features.
Any donation or payment-related feature, if available, belongs to the HEMA Tools website and is not part of this mobile app.
## 4. Tournament and match data
The app does not collect tournament or match data from users.
Tournament and match information displayed in the app is created, managed, or generated outside of the mobile app, for example through the HEMA Tools web platform or by tournament organizers.
The app may display information such as:
- tournament name;
- category or match information;
- participant names;
- scores;
- match status;
- overlay configuration.
This information is used only to display the correct overlay and recording context inside the app.
The app may temporarily load or cache this information on the device to allow normal app operation, but it does not create, modify, or collect this tournament data from users.
## 5. Camera and microphone access
The app may request access to your device camera and microphone in order to record matches.
Camera and microphone access is used only when you choose to use the recording feature.
The app does not access your camera or microphone in the background.
## 6. Video files
Videos recorded with the app are stored locally on your device unless you choose to export, share, upload, or transfer them.
We do not automatically upload recorded videos.
Recorded videos are not shared by the app unless you choose to share them using your device or another service.
## 7. Local app data
The app may store settings and temporary data locally on your device, such as selected overlay options, tournament configuration, cached match information, or recording preferences.
This local data is used to make the app work properly and improve the user experience.
You can remove locally stored app data by clearing the app data in your device settings or uninstalling the app.
## 8. How the app uses information
The app uses locally available or externally provided information to:
- display match and tournament overlays;
- record video and audio when requested by the user;
- save recorded videos locally;
- remember app settings;
- display the selected tournament or match context.
The mobile app does not use this information for advertising, profiling, or selling personal data.
## 9. Data sharing
We do not sell personal information.
The app does not automatically share recorded videos, tournament data, or personal data with third parties.
Videos and recordings are only shared if you choose to export, upload, send, or otherwise share them from your device.
## 10. Third-party services
The app may connect to HEMA Tools services to retrieve tournament, match, or overlay information.
The app may also rely on standard mobile platform services, such as Android system permissions and Google Play services, for normal app operation.
The mobile app does not require Google sign-in.
## 11. Data retention
Videos recorded by the app remain stored on your device until you delete them.
Locally stored app settings, cached tournament information, or temporary data may remain on your device until you clear the app data, uninstall the app, or delete them through app features when available.
Tournament and match information displayed in the app is controlled outside of the mobile app, usually through the HEMA Tools platform or by tournament organizers.
## 12. Children’s privacy
HEMA Tools Recorder is not specifically directed to children.
The app is intended for use by HEMA tournament organizers, staff, participants, or event volunteers.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the mobile app.
## 13. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information handled by the app.
However, no digital system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should avoid recording, storing, or sharing videos containing sensitive information unless they are authorized to do so.
## 14. Your choices
You can control app permissions, including camera and microphone access, through your device settings.
You can delete recorded videos from your device.
You can clear local app data through your device settings.
You can uninstall the app to remove locally stored app data.
