RotFL Privacy Policy
Ready on the Firing Line (RotFL™) is a free app from Conrad Analytics LLC ("we", "us"). It helps match officials run a match and review what an electronic target system recorded. This policy explains what the app keeps, where it is kept, and what reaches us.
The short version
- RotFL keeps what it reads from the target system, what you enter, and how the timer ran on your phone. It sends nothing to us until you tap to send your match record.
- Something reaches us only when you choose to send it, through our website: a backup and notes for a post-match review, for example.
- We keep what you send whole, encrypted. Anything we share back has other shooters' names and the target system's password taken off first.
- We never sell data and never show ads. We don't publish full names on public pages.
- RotFL does not use your microphone, camera, photos, contacts, location or Bluetooth, and contains no advertising or analytics trackers.
What stays on your phone
From the target system. When RotFL reads a target system on its own Wi-Fi network, it reads what that system shows, including:
- each shot's position, score, speed, angles, sensor timings, warnings and errors;
- later changes to a shot, such as a shot hidden or rescored;
- each target's settings, radio signal and battery;
- the names or initials entered on the target system for each string;
- the target system's settings, including its password. RotFL doesn't show the password, but its log on your phone can hold it, as a backup does.
Those names are whatever was entered on the target system. RotFL does not ask for them and cannot change them, and a string may have no name at all. RotFL only reads the target system. It doesn't change anything on it; any change is one you make yourself on that system's own page.
From backups and exports you open. A target system backup or export that you open in RotFL is read on your phone. When you save one, it goes in the folder you choose.
The match log. During a match, RotFL keeps a log on your phone of what you do in the app and when: clocks, checks and their results, decisions, notes, checklist ticks and alerts. It stays on your phone until you choose to send it.
From you. The official name in Settings, the notes you write, the decisions you record (for example, Shot check and crossfire rulings) with the measurements behind them, your place in a match and your checklist ticks, which version of the terms you accepted, and other settings.
Uninstalling the app deletes what's in its own storage. Files you saved to your own folders stay until you delete them.
When the app goes online
- To tell whether your phone can reach the internet, the app asks our website for its front page. That sends no match data, though like any website visit it shows our host your internet address.
- Links you tap open in your browser, such as ShotMarker's downloads page, which has its own terms.
- If you tap to send your match record, the app sends its log of what you did in your matches, including your notes and the official name in Settings, over an encrypted connection to our website. It sends nothing until you tap. It then opens our website so you can add the backup file, if you have one.
Files you send us through our website
Our website has a page, readyonthefiringline.us/drop, where you can send us shooting files: ShotMarker backups and exports, chronograph files (such as Garmin Xero), SCATT files, weather meter logs, photos of targets, score cards and match results. A ShotMarker backup is the main one we ask for. A backup holds everything that ShotMarker recorded, including the names and scores of every shooter on it, as they were typed on the targets. We keep those names as they are, because matching misspellings and initials needs the original text. So:
- Files are kept exactly as sent. A ShotMarker backup includes that ShotMarker's settings, its password among them; we never use the password.
- Every file is encrypted with a key that only Conrad Analytics holds, and stored only in that encrypted form. Files are decrypted only on our own computers.
- A match log you send from the app is encrypted and stored the same way.
- The details you type on the page (where and when it was shot, your name and email, all optional) and any match notes you send from the app are encrypted with it. Your email is used only to send your review and to ask you about those files.
- We use these files to give you a post-match review, to study how target systems behave, and to improve RotFL. A review is analysis after the match, and it doesn't change any official's decision.
- Shooters on a backup someone else sent can ask us to delete their data, as below.
What we share back
Anything we give back to a person or publish is stripped first. The target system's password and settings are removed, and so are other shooters' names. A shooter's own report keeps that shooter's own name. Reports, rates and findings about the system as a whole are in summary or anonymized form.
We do not sell this data, rent it or use it for advertising. We may use service providers to host or store it (for example, a cloud hosting company), under terms that keep it confidential. We may disclose it if the law requires us to.
How long it is kept
On your phone, data stays until you delete it or uninstall RotFL. Files you send us are kept as long as they are useful for improving RotFL, and are deleted on request (see below).
Your choices
- To see or delete data we hold that relates to you, write to privacy@readyonthefiringline.us.
- You can leave the name on the target system blank, or use initials.
- You don't have to send us anything to use RotFL.
Security
No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
RotFL is meant for match officials. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will post the new version here with a new effective date. If it changes in a way that matters, RotFL will ask you to accept the new version.
