Home Ice
Privacy policy
Last updated October 20, 2026
Home Ice (the app) and the Home Ice club website are made by Mason Weems ("we"). This policy explains what they do with information.
In short:
- Practice stays on your device, except what you choose to share with your own team through Apple's iCloud.
- If a coach puts their team in a club, the team's totals (never children's names, results or video) go to Home Ice's club service, where the club's directors see them.
- Club directors sign in with their email address. Nobody else has an account.
- We never sell or share anyone's information, and there's no advertising or tracking.
What the app stores on your device
The app saves what you enter or create on your own device: player first names and age groups, stickhandling and shooting results, levels, settings, reminder times, and shot replays. Unless you share or join a team, or your team joins a club (see below), this information never leaves your device.
Camera, microphone and speech
- Camera: used to count stickhandling touches, track the puck, and show where shots reach the net. Video is processed on your device. Shot replays are saved on your device only.
- Microphone: used to hear the stick hitting the puck, to time shots and count touches. Audio is processed on your device and isn't recorded, except as part of a shot replay or clip kept on your device.
- Speech recognition: during color cues, the app listens for the color a player calls out. Recognition runs on your device and the audio is never sent anywhere.
Local network and reminders
The app can connect your iPhone directly to a nearby iPad so the iPad can show the scoreboard. The connection goes straight between your own devices. Practice reminders are notifications your device schedules and shows itself; nothing about them is sent anywhere.
Teams (iCloud)
A coach can create a team and share a join link. Parents and other coaches who tap the link join the team. The team's data is kept in Apple's iCloud, in the iCloud account of the coach who created the team, and copied to the devices of everyone who joined:
- the roster (players' first names and which way they shoot; a parent may add their own child when joining);
- the results of team-practice turns (drill, date, touches, stars) and team shooting totals;
- the coach's weekly challenge;
- the team's color and logo, if one was chosen.
Coaches who join see the whole team. Parents see first names and team results. Video, replays, sound and location are never shared. Anyone with the join link can join, so only send it to your team. You can leave a team at any time; the coach who created the team can stop sharing, which removes the team's data from iCloud. We can't see team data.
Sharing home practice with the team (optional)
If a parent turns on "Share home practice with the team" for their child, that child's home stickhandling turns (drill, date, length, touches, stars) and a daily count of their home shots and goals go to the team's iCloud space described above. Video, replays, sound and location are never shared. Turning it off removes the child's home results from the team.
Clubs (optional): Home Ice's club service
A club or association can use Home Ice to see how all its teams practice. This is the one part of Home Ice that uses a server: the club service, which we run on Supabase (a hosted database), with the club website hosted by Cloudflare.
What the club service stores:
- The club: its name, color and logo, and the codes coaches and directors use to join it.
- Directors: each director's email address (to sign in) and their name as they typed it.
- Each team in the club: the team's name, age group and coach's name as entered, how many players it has, how many families joined, and totals by week and for the season: how many kids practiced, practice days and minutes, shots and goals, how many kids moved up a level, the average improvement on the same drills, shots on net at the start and now, and progress on the weekly challenge.
What it never stores: children's names, any one child's results, video, sound or location.
Who sees it: the club's directors, signed in on the website or in the app. A team's coach puts the team in a club by typing the club's code; their phone then sends the team's totals after practice. We run the service, so we can technically reach this data. We only look at it to keep the service working or when a club asks us to, and we never sell or share it.
Signing in: directors get a one-time code or link by email. Those emails are sent through Google (Gmail). The website keeps the director signed in using your browser's storage; it uses no tracking cookies. Cloudflare and Supabase keep standard technical logs (such as IP addresses) to run and protect their services.
Removing it: a coach can take their team out of the club at any time in the app, and a director can take a team out on the website. Either way the team's totals are deleted. A director can leave a club in the app. A director can delete their account at any time, in the app (Club settings › Delete my account) or on the website. That also deletes any club they're the only director of, with its team totals. You can also email us and we'll delete it within 7 days.
When you share
If you choose to share a recap, a team board, a club report or a video, you decide where it goes, using the standard iOS share options. From then on, the privacy practices of whatever app or person you share with apply.
Children
Home Ice is set up by parents, coaches and club directors, who may enter children's first names and age groups to keep track of turns, levels and goals. Children's names stay on the device where they were entered and, for team players, in the team's iCloud. They never go to the club service or to us. We recommend first names or nicknames only.
Analytics, advertising and crash reports
There's no advertising, no analytics, no third-party code that collects data, and no tracking. If you've chosen to share app analytics with developers in your iPhone's settings, or you test the app through Apple's TestFlight, Apple may send us anonymous crash reports (and, on TestFlight, feedback you choose to send). Apple's privacy policy covers that.
Deleting your data
- Delete players and their practice inside the app. Deleting the app removes all of its data from your device.
- A team's iCloud data is removed when the coach who created it stops sharing it. A child's shared home practice is removed when their parent turns sharing off.
- A team's totals leave the club service when the team leaves the club. A director deletes their account (and a club they're the only director of) in the app or on the website, or by emailing us.
Changes
If Home Ice ever stores more information online, we'll update this policy before that feature is released, and change the date at the top.
