Privacy Policy

We keep things simple. Here's what we collect and why.

NextRally is a collection of tools for tennis players, including Brackets, StringLog, and CourtSnap. This policy covers all of them. NextRally is operated by Uncommon Orbit LLC.

Brackets

Bracket Generator

No login required, no data stored. Your bracket lives in your browser until you close the page. We don't see your player names or results.

When you sign in

We get your name and email from Google or Apple (whichever you use). We use this to create your account so you can save brackets. Brackets Pro subscribers get additional features.

Saved brackets

If you sign in, we store the brackets you save, including player names, match results, and any bracket settings. Shared brackets are visible to anyone with the link.

StringLog

When you sign in

StringLog uses the same Google or Apple sign-in as Brackets. We use your name and email to create your account so you can save your string journal data.

What we store

StringLog stores your racket inventory, restring setups, and play session logs on our servers. This includes details you enter like string names, tensions, costs, stringer names, session duration, feel ratings, and any notes you add.

Custom catalog entries

If a string or racket isn't in our catalog, you can add it. Custom entries you submit may be reviewed and added to the shared catalog for other users.

Temporary local storage

If you start setting up a racket before signing in, we temporarily save your form data in your browser's local storage so you don't lose it. This is cleared once your data is saved to your account.

Stringing for others

You can log setups for other people's rackets using an owner name. This is just a label you type — we don't notify or create accounts for those people.

CourtSnap

Local only

CourtSnap works entirely on your device. Your photos, notes, and locations are stored locally. No account is required. We don't see any of your data and nothing is sent to our servers.

Photos

You can take photos with your camera or pick them from your library. We only access the photos you choose — nothing else. Photos are compressed and stored on your device. We extract the GPS coordinates and timestamp from the photo's metadata (EXIF) to show where and when you played. Other metadata (camera model, etc.) is discarded.

Location data

CourtSnap reads GPS coordinates embedded in your photos to show where they were taken and converts them into place names (e.g., "Gates Tennis Center, Denver"). If you use the location picker to search for a court, the app may request your current location to show nearby results. Location access is only used while you're actively using the app, and only if you grant permission. We never track your location in the background.

Device permissions

CourtSnap may ask for access to your camera, photo library, and location. Each permission is optional and requested only when you use the related feature. You can change these in your device settings at any time.

Notifications

CourtSnap can send local reminders to help you keep your streak going. These are scheduled entirely on your device — no data is sent anywhere. You can turn them off in your device settings.

Data export

You can export all your entries (notes, locations, timestamps) as a JSON file at any time. The export goes through your device's share sheet — we never see it.

General

Analytics

We use GoatCounter on the website, a privacy-friendly tool that doesn't track individuals or use cookies. It just tells us how many people visit and which pages are popular. The CourtSnap mobile app does not include any analytics.

What we don't do

• We don't sell your data to anyone.
• We don't show you ads.
• We don't track you across other websites.
• We don't share your email with third parties.

Emails we send

We only send emails you've asked for, such as bracket notifications. You can turn these off in your notification settings, or unsubscribe from any email with one click.

Third-party services — Brackets (website)

• Google Sign-In for authentication (their privacy policy).
• Apple Sign-In for authentication (their privacy policy).
• Stripe for Brackets Pro subscription payments (their privacy policy). We don't store your card details.
• GoatCounter for anonymous website analytics.
