Retake is a live Counter-Strike companion app. There are no accounts and no sign-up, and we never ask for your name or email. To run live scores and Live Activities, the app saves a device push token, the teams and tournaments you follow, your Live Activities setting, and references to cached logo files to our server. That's all that's tied to your device.
The app sends the following to the Retake server. Each one is tied to a device push token, not to who you are.
Only to run the app: fetching live match data, starting and updating Live Activities, and sending the notifications you turn on. We don't use it for advertising or profiling.
Retake doesn't track you across other apps or websites and doesn't use your data for ads, so it never asks for App Tracking Transparency permission. We do keep a device push token next to the teams you follow so the app works. It's a device identifier and isn't used to identify you.
Only the services needed to run the app:
Retake has optional in-app tips. Apple handles the payment, so we never see or store your payment details, and purchases aren't linked to your identity on our side.
Your device registration, followed teams, settings, and logo references stay on our server while you use the app. Unfollowing a team or turning off automatic Live Activities removes that data, and stale registrations get cleaned up on their own. Deleting the app stops new data from being sent, and the leftover registration is removed once its push token is no longer valid. Server logs are kept a few days and then deleted.
You can change or clear your followed teams and tournaments in the app, turn off automatic Live Activities, or turn off notifications in iOS Settings. To ask us to delete the data tied to your device, email retake.csapp@gmail.com. If you're in the EEA or California, you may also have the right to access, correct, or delete your data. Email us and we'll take care of it.
Data is sent over HTTPS. API keys stay on the server and are never included in the app.
This policy also covers retake-app.com. The site has no accounts, cookies, or analytics. Like any web server, our hosting provider keeps standard access logs (which can include IP addresses) for a few days for security and debugging, then deletes them. The app is distributed through Apple TestFlight, which is covered by Apple's privacy policy.
Retake isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.
If we update this policy, we'll change the date at the top. Continuing to use Retake after a change means you accept the new policy.
