First Base: Baseball Standings ("we", "us", or "our"), developed by Flipping Leaf LLC, is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how information is handled when you use the First Base iOS application and this website (collectively, the "Service").
First Base is designed to keep everything on your device. We do not require an account, we do not collect your name or email address, and all standings data, team records, and event archives are stored locally on your iPhone — not on any server we own. The only optional exception is GameChanger integration: if you choose to connect your GameChanger account, your login token is stored exclusively in your device's Keychain and never transmitted to our servers.
The following data is stored exclusively on your device. It is never uploaded to Flipping Leaf servers:
This data remains on your device until you delete the app, at which point it is removed entirely.
First Base fetches publicly available standings and schedule data from the LI Hot Stove Baseball website on your behalf. This data is displayed within the app and cached locally on your device. We do not collect, aggregate, or transmit this data to our own servers. Your IP address may be visible to the Hot Stove website when the app fetches data on your behalf, the same as visiting the site in a browser.
If you choose to connect a GameChanger account, First Base opens GameChanger's own login page in an in-app web view. You log in directly with GameChanger — we never see your password. The resulting session token is stored exclusively in your device's Keychain using Apple's secure storage APIs. This token is used only to fetch game data from GameChanger on your behalf; it is never transmitted to Flipping Leaf servers.
GameChanger's integration is entirely optional. The app is fully functional without it. Disconnecting GameChanger in Settings removes the token from your Keychain immediately.
If you subscribe to First Base Plus, your subscription is managed through Apple's in-app purchase system. We use RevenueCat to verify and manage subscription status. RevenueCat receives a non-personally-identifiable device identifier and your subscription status from Apple. No payment card details are shared with RevenueCat or with us — all payment processing is handled entirely by Apple.
RevenueCat's privacy policy is available at revenuecat.com/privacy.
First Base does not include any analytics SDKs, advertising networks, tracking pixels, or third-party tracking of any kind. We do not track how you use the app, which screens you visit, or how long you use it.
If you enable notifications, First Base may send alerts for game results, clinch events, or bracket updates. For on-device notifications (free tier), these are scheduled locally and no notification content is transmitted to our servers. With First Base Plus, notifications may be delivered via Apple Push Notification service (APNs). In that case, only your APNs device token — a non-personally-identifiable identifier — is used to route push delivery. We do not store this token beyond the active notification session.
First Base is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Service, please contact us and we will take steps to address it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Modified" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
