Pocketeer Terms of Service — effective October 29, 2026 (v1). The English text in this section governs. By tapping “I agree”, or by continuing to use Pocketeer after these Terms are shown, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
1. What Pocketeer is. Pocketeer is tournament management software: brackets, scoring, player stats, and record-keeping for pool and billiards events. That is all it is.
2. No gambling. No money handled. Pocketeer is not a gambling operator, bookmaker, or wagering service. It does not offer, promote, place, or accept bets or wagers, and it does not collect, hold, escrow, transmit, or pay out money. No entry fees, league dues, prize pots, or Calcutta bids move through the app. The app only records numbers a user types in, like a notebook or a spreadsheet. All money at an event is handled offline, directly between the tournament director, the venue, the league, and the players.
3. Payouts and Calcuttas are record-keeping only. Where the app can calculate or display a payout, dues, or Calcutta split, it is doing arithmetic on figures the user entered. Entering a figure does not make that activity legal, and Pocketeer does not endorse or run it.
4. Your responsibility. The tournament director and each user are solely responsible for making sure their event — its format, entry fees, payouts, Calcutta or other side action, and advertising — is legal where it is run, and for any licences, permits, taxes, venue rules, and league rules that apply. Laws differ by state, county, city, and country. You must comply with all applicable laws. Do not use Pocketeer for illegal gambling, bookmaking, or for wagering involving minors.
5. Accuracy — verify before you rely. Brackets, races, scoring charts, and payout calculations are tools and can contain errors, especially in pre-release builds. The director must verify results before paying anything out or reporting a result as official. Pocketeer is provided “as is”, without any guarantee of availability, accuracy, or that data will not be lost. Keep your own backup (Settings → Export backup).
6. Your data, phone numbers, and texts. Local play stores data only on your device — no account and no tracking. A player’s phone number should only be entered if that player said it is OK to text them about their matches, and numbers stay on the director’s device: they must never be posted to a public live page, a tournament listing, shared results, or a stream overlay. Sending a backup file to the developer for bug testing is your choice; it can contain the names and numbers you entered, so send it privately only. Automated texting, if it is ever offered, will be offered only with each player’s opt-in.
7. What you share publicly. Results, stats, listings, live pages, and anything else you choose to share are yours. Pocketeer does not verify results and is not responsible for disputes between players, directors, venues, or leagues, or for anyone manipulating scores or ratings. Content that is false, abusive, or unlawful may be removed, and access may be suspended for misuse.
8. Leagues and brands. APA, USAPL, TAP, FargoRate, BCA, WPA, and other names and scoring systems mentioned in the app belong to their owners. Pocketeer is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any of them, and using a scoring system in the app does not make an event sanctioned by that league.
9. Ownership and feedback. The app, its name, and its content belong to Josh Davenport. © 2026 Josh Davenport. All rights reserved. You may not copy, redistribute, resell, or reverse-engineer the app or share your tester copy or link as if it were yours to give away. Any feedback or ideas you send may be used in the app without payment or credit.
10. Minors. Accounts and paid features, if offered, are for adults. Do not knowingly enter an account, phone number, or photo for a child under 13. A junior player should appear only as a name and score entered by their director or a parent/guardian.
11. Paid features. Local play is free. If paid features are offered later, the price, what you get, renewal, cancellation, and refund terms will be shown before you buy, card payments will be handled by a payment processor (Pocketeer never stores card numbers), and prize or entry money must never be sent through Pocketeer.
12. Liability. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Pocketeer and its developer are not liable for losses arising from your events, your use of the app, lost data, or money disputes between other people, and you agree to cover claims against the developer that arise from your events or your misuse of the app. These Terms are governed by the laws of Florida, USA.
13. Changes. These Terms may be updated. A new version will be shown in the app, and continuing to use the app after it is shown counts as agreeing to it.
Pocketeer Privacy Policy. The English text in this section governs. Pocketeer is built local-first: most of what the app does never leaves your device, and no account is ever required to run a tournament.
Feedback notes. If you tap the 💬 feedback bubble and send a note, the note, the name or email you give, the app version and the screen you were on are stored in the project database so the developer can read and act on it. Feedback notes are never shown to other users.
What stays on your device. Your players, brackets, scores, stats, and history are stored in your browser's local storage on your device. We cannot see them, and they are never sent anywhere unless you use one of the optional cloud features below.
Account & cloud backup (optional). If you create an account, we store your email address (for sign-in links) and the backup you choose to save — your players, stats, and history — tied to your account. Only you can read your backup; the database enforces that with row-level security.
Public live pages (optional). If you publish a live page, a public snapshot is stored so anyone with the link can watch: player names, scores, and match status only. Phone numbers and private stats are never included. Stop sharing deletes the page.
Find listings (optional). If you post a tournament or a "looking for a game" listing, the details you enter (title, place, area, game, format, entry fee, when, and Fargo rating if you give one) are public. You can delete your listings at any time.
Prereg signup links (optional). If you share a signup link, players who sign up give a name and optionally a skill level / Fargo rating. Those names appear on the public signup page and sync to the organizer's list.
Player self-scoring (optional). If the organizer shares a scoring link, players can report a match score (the two numbers only). Reports are stored until the organizer applies or deletes them; nothing counts until the organizer confirms it. Personal links: the organizer can mint one link per player; only a scrambled hash of each link is kept in the database, and a report sent from a personal link carries that player's name. Pager (optional): a player can ask this site to buzz their phone when they are called to a table — that stores a push subscription for the event — and can leave a phone number for future text alerts; the organizer is the only one who can see either. Co-directors (optional): an organizer can share an event with a second signed-in director, who then sees and edits the same event state from their own device; the organizer can stop sharing at any time.
What we never do. No ads. No analytics or tracking. We never sell your data or share it for marketing.
Service providers. Hosting and the database/auth service are provided by Cloudflare and Supabase. They process the cloud data above only to run the service.
Your choices. Don't use an account: the app works fully offline and locally. The Delete my cloud data button (Settings → Account) immediately deletes your cloud backup, live pages, Find listings, and prereg pages. Your sign-in email record can also be removed on request — privacy contact: [to be set before public launch]. Data on your own device is yours: use Export backup or clear the browser's site data to remove it.
Changes. If this policy changes, the new version will be posted in the app with a note in the release notes.
