Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 8, 2026
1. Overview
TallyPal (“the App”) is a score keeper for games on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Android, made by TurboCycle Media, LLC (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what the App collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. We do not sell your data, and we do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
2. Data Stored on Your Device
Your players (names, colors and photos), games, scores, score history, game notes, timers and settings are stored on your device. Without a TallyPal Account, this data never leaves your device except as described in sections 6 and 7.
3. TallyPal Account (Optional)
If you create a TallyPal Account with Sign in with Apple, Sign in with Google or email, we store the following on our servers to sync your data between your devices:
- Account details: your email address, your name if you provide it, and an account ID. With Sign in with Apple, you can choose to hide your email address. With Sign in with Google, Google shares your name, email address and Google account ID with us; we never receive your Google password or any other Google data.
- Synced data: your players (including photos), games, scores, score history, game notes and scoring rules.
- Apple TV sign-in: when you approve an Apple TV from your iPhone, a short-lived sign-in code is linked to your account so the TV can sign in. Codes expire after 10 minutes.
We use this data only to provide sync and sign-in. Synced data is sent over encrypted connections and can be read only by your account. You can sign out at any time, and you can delete your account and all synced data in the App’s Settings.
4. Advertising (Free Version)
The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, AdMob may collect a device identifier, your approximate location (estimated from your IP address), information about the ads you see and interact with, and diagnostic data such as crashes and performance. The App does not ask for permission to track you, so ads are not personalized using your device’s advertising identifier. See Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses data from apps. Purchasing Premium removes ads.
5. Feature Requests (Optional)
Settings › About › Feature Requests is provided by WishKit. If you submit or vote on a request, WishKit receives the text you submit, your votes, an anonymous user ID and, if you choose to provide it, your email address. See WishKit’s Privacy Policy.
6. Live Sharing and Apple TV
When you share a game live or show it on Apple TV, scores, player names and photos are sent directly between nearby devices over your local network or Bluetooth. So that iPhone, iPad and Android devices can watch each other’s games, the same live scores are also passed through our server to anyone who has the game’s 6-character code. The server only forwards them while you’re sharing; it doesn’t store them.
7. iCloud Import
Earlier versions of TallyPal could store data in your private iCloud account. We cannot access your iCloud data. If you import it, the import happens on your device, and the data is then synced to your TallyPal Account only if you are signed in.
8. In-App Purchases
Purchases, including Premium subscriptions, are processed by Apple on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, and by Google Play on Android. We do not receive or store your payment information. See Apple’s Privacy Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy.
9. App Analytics
We may receive aggregated, anonymized statistics from Apple’s App Store Connect, such as download counts and, if you have chosen to share them with developers, crash reports.
10. Email Support
If you email us at help@turbocyclemedia.com, we receive your email address and anything you include, and use it only to respond to you.
11. Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
12. Data Retention
Data on your device stays until you delete it or the App. TallyPal Account data is kept until you delete it or delete your account; deleting your account permanently removes your synced data from our servers. Support emails are kept only as long as needed to help you.
13. Your Choices and Rights
- TallyPal Account: sign in, sign out, or delete your account and synced data in the App’s Settings.
- Advertising: manage ad settings on your device and in your Google account, or purchase Premium to remove ads.
- Access or deletion: email help@turbocyclemedia.com to ask for a copy of your data or to have it deleted.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy. Changes are posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
