Vantage — Privacy Policy

Last updated 25 August 2026

Vantage is a scouting application for VEX V5RC teams. This policy describes what the application stores, where that data is held, and how to remove it.

Vantage contains no advertising, no analytics, no trackers and no third-party advertising SDKs. No data is sold or shared. Most of what you create remains on your device; the data that synchronises does so only to reach the scouting group you have joined.

On your device

Your scouting: team notes, match notes, pick lists, auton routes.
App settings, favourite teams, your team number.
A cached copy of public VEX data, so the app works without a signal.

Deleting the application removes all of it.

On the server

Vantage's server runs on Cloudflare and holds the following:

If you sign in: an identifier from Sign in with Apple and the display name you choose, plus your favourite teams, team list, auton routes, profile photo and join date, so that they are restored on a new device. Vantage never receives your Apple password, and receives your name or email address only where Apple provides them and you have chosen to share them.
If you join a scouting group: the scouting your group shares and which members belong to it. A group's scouting is visible only to members an owner has approved — holding the join code allows a request to join, not access to the contents.
If you turn on notifications: a push token per device and which alert types you enabled.

What Vantage does not collect

No location, contacts, or photos beyond a profile picture you pick.
No advertising identifier, analytics, crash-reporting SDK, or tracking.
No payment information. Vantage does not process payments and contains no purchases.

Who else sees it

Your scouting group can see the scouting you contribute to it. No other sharing takes place.
Cloudflare hosts the server and stores this data on Vantage's behalf.
Apple handles Sign in with Apple and delivers push notifications.
Public VEX information comes from RobotEvents and robotstatistics. Those requests are made by Vantage's server, so your device is not identified to them.

Deleting your account

In the app: Profile → your account → Delete my account. That removes your account, saved teams, auton routes, photo and push tokens, and takes you out of every scouting group.

Scouting you contributed to a group remains with that group — it is the team's collective work, and other members continue to rely on it. A group owner can delete the whole group, which removes it for everybody. Backups are kept up to 90 days, then deleted automatically.

Children

Vantage is used by VEX competitors, many of whom are under 18. The same minimal data is collected from every user regardless of age, and there is no advertising, no advertising profile, and no sale or sharing of data to anyone.

An account holds only what is listed above: a sign-in identifier, an optional display name and photo, the team numbers and favourites entered in the app, and any scouting written. Vantage never asks for a date of birth, a home address, a school, or a phone number, and has no way to contact a user outside the app except by a push notification they enabled.

A parent or guardian may delete a minor's account through Profile → your account → Delete my account, or by emailing the address below. Such a request is handled exactly as described under Deleting your account above, and scouting already shared with a team's group is subject to the same rule — a group owner can delete the group to remove it for everyone.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects what is collected, the date above changes and the app's release notes will say so.
