Privacy policy

As of 8 November 2026

Please note: This English translation is provided for information only. Only the German version is legally binding.

In short: We don’t sell data and we don’t show ads. There is no tracking in the Trainer App, and it loads nothing from third-party servers. What you enter in the app – your team, training sessions and matches – we only use so that the app works for you. The free templates on this website store your entries only in your own browser.

This privacy policy applies to the website fussball-trainer-app.de and to the web app “Fussball Trainer App” at app.fussball-trainer-app.de. We are not required to appoint a data protection officer.

2. Hosting and server log files

The website and app are hosted by ICW OFFICE Hosting, Hanauer Landstraße 427, 60314 Frankfurt am Main, Germany. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the host. The servers are located in Germany / the EU.

With every request, the server automatically stores:

IP address
date and time
page or file requested
amount of data transferred
browser and operating system
referrer URL

This is necessary so that the site runs securely and stably and we can detect attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The log files are deleted after 7 days at the latest.

To protect against automated attacks, the app counts failed sign-ins and registrations. For this it stores a hash of the IP address. These counters delete themselves after one hour at most. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

3. Encryption

The website and app are only transmitted encrypted via HTTPS (TLS). We never store passwords in plain text, only as a secure hash.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

On the website

We use the “Complianz” cookie banner. It stores your choice in cookies whose names begin with cmplz_ – for up to 365 days. We use technically necessary storage on the basis of § 25(2) of the German TDDDG. We only use anything else with your consent (§ 25(1) TDDDG, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings.

In the app

To keep you signed in, WordPress sets login cookies (wordpress_logged_in_…, wordpress_sec_…, wordpress_test_cookie). The app does not work without these cookies. They are deleted when you sign out, but at the latest after 2 days, or after 14 days if you choose “Remember me”. The legal basis is § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG.

The app remembers individual settings and unsaved drafts, e.g. on the tactics board, in your browser’s local storage (localStorage). This data does not leave your device. Drafts are deleted when you sign out.

5. Free coach templates

What you enter in the templates on this website (match preparation, match analysis, training session) is only stored in your browser’s local storage so that nothing is lost when you reload. This data is not transmitted to us. You can delete it at any time with the “Clear” button or via your browser settings.

6. The Trainer App

6.1 Your user account

For your account we process:

username and email address
password (only as a hash)
date of registration
optional: club name and club logo

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, i.e. the contract for the use of the app. We send you emails that are necessary for the contract, for example to reset your password or shortly before your trial or licence ends. We do not send promotional newsletters.

6.2 Trial and licence

We store the start of your trial and, after purchase, your licence key, the expiry date and the time of the last check.

To check the licence, the app queries our licence server on fussball-trainer-app.de. It transmits the licence key, your username and a pseudonymous identifier of your account. This identifier is calculated from the account number and contains neither your name nor your email address. During the trial, the app also reports the start of your trial and the day of last use at most once a day, so that we can manage trials. Both servers are operated by us.

The purpose is the performance of the contract, i.e. activating the app, and protection against misuse of licence keys. The legal bases are Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR.

6.3 What you enter in the app (your players’ data)

In the app you manage data about other people, above all your players:

name, shirt number and position
training attendance and match appearances with minutes
load data (effort on a scale from 0 to 10)
ratings and notes
the status “injured” or “rehab” with a short note

You as the coach, or your club, are responsible for this data. We only process it on your behalf and only so that the app works (Art. 28 GDPR). We do not analyse it and do not pass it on.

Please note:

Information about injuries is health data and specially protected (Art. 9 GDPR). Only enter what you really need for training planning, for example “injured until end of March”, and no medical diagnoses.
Many players are minors. Check with your club whether parental consent has been given. Many clubs already cover this in the membership application.
If you use the app for a club, we will gladly conclude a data processing agreement (DPA). You can get a template by email on request.

6.4 Sharing and exporting

You can share line-ups, analyses or tactical sketches as an image, PDF or text, for example via WhatsApp. This runs entirely on your device. The app creates the file in your browser, and only you decide who to send it to. We do not transmit anything to WhatsApp or other services. The respective provider is responsible for processing there.

6.5 No tracking, no third-party servers

There are no analytics tools, no ads and no embedded content from third-party providers in the app. All fonts, graphics and scripts are loaded from our own server.

7. Purchase of a licence

7.1 PayPal

Payment is processed by PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22–24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. So that the payment button can be displayed on the home page, a PayPal script is loaded when this page is opened. PayPal receives your IP address and technical information about your browser. When you pay, you enter your payment details directly with PayPal. We do not see them.

The legal bases are Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and, for loading the button, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, because we want to offer you an easy way to pay. PayPal may also transfer data to countries outside the EU. More on this can be found in PayPal’s privacy statement.

7.2 Licence management and invoice

After payment, PayPal sends us your name, your email address, the amount and the transaction number. We store this information together with your licence key, send you the key and the invoice by email and remind you before expiry. The legal bases are Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and, for retention, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

8. Other services on the website

Font Awesome

For icons we use Font Awesome by Fonticons, Inc., 307 S. Main St., Ste 202, Bentonville, AR 72712, USA. When you open the website, your browser loads font files from the provider’s servers. Your IP address is transmitted, including to the USA. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, because we want the website to look consistent.

Links to social networks

Our website contains simple links to Facebook and Instagram. A connection to the respective network is only established when you click a link.

9. Contact

If you email us, we process your address and your message in order to reply. The legal bases are Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if a contract is concerned, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We delete the messages once they have been dealt with and there is no obligation to retain them.

10. How long we store data

Account and app content: as long as your account exists, including after the trial or licence has expired (read-only mode). If you request deletion, we delete everything within 30 days. We delete unused accounts 24 months after the trial or licence expired, after informing you by email beforehand.
Backups: Deleted data may remain in backup copies for up to 30 days and is then automatically overwritten.
Invoices and payment data: as long as required by tax and commercial law (usually 8 or 10 years).
Server log files: 7 days.

11. Your rights

You have the right to:

access (Art. 15 GDPR)
rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future.

Right to object: Where we process data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you can object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR).

An informal email to info@fussball-trainer-app.de is sufficient.

Players whose data a coach has entered in the app should first contact their coach or club. We are happy to help.

12. Right to lodge a complaint

You can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany, www.lda.bayern.de.

13. Data security

We protect the data with technical and organisational measures. These include:

encrypted transmission
passwords only as a hash
strict separation of data by user account
protection against automated sign-in attempts
regular updates and backups

14. Changes

If the app or the legal situation changes, we will adapt this privacy policy. The version published here applies.
