Data Usage & Privacy
Why We Request User Data
The BPVA Calendar app requests access to certain user data exclusively for the following purposes:
Google Account Sign-In
- Purpose: Authenticate users securely and provide personalized access to their training information
- Data Used: Email address, name, profile photo
- Why: We use Google Sign-In to ensure secure authentication without requiring you to create and remember another password
Google Calendar Access (Admins Only)
- Purpose: Allow administrators to select which academy calendars are displayed to users
- Data Used: Read-only access to Google Calendar list and events
- Why: The app displays training schedules from Google Calendar. Only administrators need calendar access to configure which calendars are shown to athletes and parents
- Note: Regular users and parents do NOT need to grant calendar permissions - they only view the public calendar selected by administrators
Location Data (Athletes Only)
- Purpose: Verify athletes are physically present at the gym during check-in
- Data Used: Your device location when you tap "Check In"
- Why: Location verification prevents fraudulent check-ins and ensures attendance accuracy
- When: Location is only accessed when you actively check in - never tracked in the background
Push Notifications
- Purpose: Send important announcements about schedule changes, cancellations, or academy news
- Data Used: Device notification token (no personal data)
- Why: Keep you informed of time-sensitive information about training sessions and events
