TouraLast updated: 17 October 2026. This policy applies to the iPhone app “Toura” and this website. It follows the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This is a translation; the German version is authoritative.

2. Data that stays on your device
The app stores on your iPhone:
- your favourites (which players you have marked),
- the last known ranking of your favourites – so the app can detect a change and notify you,
- your settings (notifications, haptics),
- cached tennis data (rankings, tournaments, results), so the app starts faster and shows the latest data even without internet,
- a counter of data requests.
This data does not leave your device. We have no access to it. Deleting the app deletes it. Like the data of any other app, it may be included in your iPhone backup (iCloud or computer).
3. Loading tennis data
The app loads rankings, tournaments, results, draws and statistics through our own server. It runs on Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., USA) in data centres around the world. The server fetches the data from the data provider Matchstat via the RapidAPI platform and caches it. The data provider receives no information about you, not even your IP address.
Each request from the app to our server technically requires the transfer of:
- the IP address of your device or network,
- time and content of the request (e.g. “ATP ranking” or “statistics for player X”),
- technical connection details.
Cloudflare keeps this information in technical logs for a few days to keep the service running and to detect abuse. We only look at them in case of problems and do not analyse them. Not transferred: your name, your list of favourites, your settings or a device identifier. The sole purpose is to show you tennis data (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and (f)). Cloudflare may also process data in the USA; Cloudflare is certified under the Swiss–U.S. and EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
News
The headlines in the “News” tab are fetched by our server from the public RSS feeds of the media named in the app; no information about you is transferred. Whether an article concerns one of your favourites is checked by the app on your device. If you tap an article, it opens on the media outlet’s website, whose privacy policy applies.
4. Notifications
If you allow it, the app notifies you when one of your favourites’ ranking changes. These notifications are created by the app itself on your device; there is no server sending them and no push token is transmitted to us. You can turn them off at any time in the app (About the app → Notifications) or in the iPhone settings.
5. App Store and Apple
Downloads and updates are handled by Apple, which is responsible for them under Apple’s privacy policy. If you have enabled “Share With App Developers” in the iPhone settings under “Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements”, Apple gives us anonymous crash reports and usage figures. We cannot tell who you are from them.
6. This website
This website is hosted by Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., USA). When you visit it, the host briefly stores technical data (IP address, time, page visited, browser) to deliver the page and protect it against abuse (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). The website sets no cookies and uses no analytics or advertising services.
7. Contact by email
If you write to us, we use your email address and message only to reply. We delete them once the request is settled, at the latest after 12 months, unless a legal obligation requires longer retention.
8. No other recipients
We do not sell data and do not pass any on to third parties, except to the providers named above to the extent described. The app contains no advertising, no analytics tools and no tracking across other companies’ apps or websites.
9. Your rights
You can ask whether and which data we process about you, and request its correction, deletion or a copy, or object to processing. As we store no data about you on our own systems apart from emails and the short-lived technical logs (section 3), such requests usually concern only your emails to us. Write to support@toura.dev.
You can also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority – in Switzerland the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), in the EU the authority of your country of residence.
10. Changes
If the app changes so that other data is processed (e.g. push notifications via a server or a subscription), we will update this policy beforehand. The version published here applies.
