Privacy policy
Last updated 12 August 2026
This explains what Betchoret collects, why it collects it, and what you can do about it. Betchoret is made by Kode Foundry, which is the controller of the information described here.
Your phone number and email address are never shown to other people. They are stored where only you can read them. Other users see your username, your display name and your prediction record.
What we collect
When you create an account
- An account identifier, created by Firebase Authentication.
- Your username, which you choose and which is public.
- Your first and last name, if you give them. Optional.
- Your email address, if you sign in with email, Apple or Google.
- Your phone number, if you give it. Optional, and private to you.
- Your profile picture, if you set one.
You can use Betchoret without giving a name, a phone number or a picture. You can also start as a guest, in which case there is no email address at all until you attach one.
When you use the app
- The bets you create, take, and say the result of, including what you wrote in them.
- A record of every coin movement on your account, with what caused it.
- Comments and reports you make.
- A device token, if you allow notifications, so we can send them.
Automatically
- Crash reports, through Firebase Crashlytics, when the app fails.
- Usage measurement, through Firebase Analytics, about which screens are used and which actions are taken.
- Device attestation, through Firebase App Check, which confirms requests come from a genuine copy of the app rather than a script.
Why we collect it
- To run the service. A bet needs two identifiable sides, a balance needs a record, and a result needs the terms it was agreed under.
- To keep it honest. The coin record is what lets every balance be checked against the bets that produced it, and what lets an error be corrected rather than argued about.
- To prevent abuse. Detecting somebody betting against themselves, or running several accounts, needs enough information to see it happening.
- To send you notifications you have asked for.
- To fix faults and to understand which parts of the app are used.
What other people can see
Public: your username, display name, profile picture, join date, prediction record and streaks, and any bet you set to be visible to everyone.
Visible to the people in a bet: the bet itself, its terms, and what each side said the result was.
Never shown to anybody else: your phone number, your email address, your coin balance, your coin history, and anything we hold internally about risk.
We do not publish how much anybody has lost, and we do not rank people by it.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your information, and we do not share it for advertising.
We use Google Firebase to run the service, which means Google processes data on our behalf: Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, Cloud Messaging, Crashlytics, Analytics, App Check and Remote Config. Data is held on Google infrastructure.
We may disclose information where the law requires it, or where it is needed to investigate abuse or protect somebody's safety.
Where it is held, and for how long
Data is held on Google Cloud infrastructure and may be processed outside the country you live in.
Your account data is kept while your account exists. When you delete your account, your profile, username, coins, contact details and profile picture are removed.
Records of coin movements are kept afterwards. They are what the system is reconciled against, and removing them would leave balances that nothing explains. Once your profile and sign in are gone, those records carry an account identifier that no longer points at a person.
Your choices
- Delete your account, in the app under Profile. You cannot delete while a bet is still running, because the other side has coins committed to it.
- Correct your details, in the app, at any time.
- Turn notifications off, in iOS Settings. Your device token is released when you sign out.
- Ask for a copy of what we hold about you, by writing to us.
- Object or complain. Depending on where you live you may have rights to restrict processing or to complain to a regulator.
Write to hello@kodefoundry.com for any of these and we will respond within thirty days.
Children
Betchoret is for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has created an account, tell us and we will remove it.
Security
Access to your data is restricted by security rules enforced on the server, not by the app. No client can read another person's balance or contact details, and no client can write a balance at all. Requests are checked with App Check.
No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects you, we will tell you.
This website
This site asks before it measures anything. If you agree, Firebase Analytics records which pages are viewed and sets identifiers in your browser to do it. If you decline, none of that runs. You can change your mind from the Cookie preferences link in the footer.
Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it last changed. If a change is significant we will tell you in the app.
