BenchBoss privacy policy
Last updated: 13 November 2026
BenchBoss is an app for football coaches to plan substitutions and share playing time fairly. It is published by Alan Chalmers Consulting (“we”).
The short version
Everything you enter stays on your phone. BenchBoss has no account, no server, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking. We never receive, see or sell your information.
What the app stores
You type in, and the app saves on your device:
- team names, kit colours and season start dates
- players' names, shirt numbers and preferred positions
- match details: opponent, kick-off time, line-ups, substitutions, minutes played, goals, assists, shots on goal and saves
- your choice of colour scheme
The app does not ask for, and cannot reach, your contacts, photos, location, camera, microphone or other apps' data. It does not request the internet permission and makes no network connections. Links on its About page (the website, feedback email) open in your phone's browser or email app, outside BenchBoss.
Where it goes
Nowhere, unless you send it somewhere. The information is saved in the app's private storage on your phone, which other apps cannot read.
Android may include the app's data in your phone's own backup to your Google account, if you have turned device backup on in your phone's settings. That backup is run by Google under your Google account and its privacy terms; we have no access to it. You can turn it off in your phone's backup settings.
Children's information
Coaches often use BenchBoss for junior teams, so the players' names and match records you enter may be about children. BenchBoss is meant to be used by the coach or another responsible adult, not by the children themselves. Because the information never leaves your device, we do not collect it; please enter only what you need to run the team (a first name or nickname is enough).
Keeping or deleting your information
You can change or delete any team, player or match in the app at any time. Uninstalling BenchBoss, or clearing its storage in your phone's settings, deletes everything it has saved.
Changes to this policy
If a future version changes how information is handled, we will update this page and the date at the top before that version is released.
