Who we are
Mi Basket is a free family app, non-profit and ad-free, for following Uruguayan basketball.
What data we collect
In the apps you install from the stores you don't need to create an account: you open them and use them, and we never ask for your name or your email address. If you want to find what you follow on another phone or on the web, you can sign in with your Google or Apple account. What we store in that case is explained further down.
When you mark a player or a team as a favorite, that choice is stored on your phone. To put together your Inbox, with whatever is new among the things you follow, the app sends that list to our server every time it asks whether anything has happened. That is what makes the Inbox yours and not everybody's.
The list travels with no name and no account behind it, even if you signed in with yours. We use it to answer you, and it is kept for a while on the server side together with the response, so the same work isn't repeated on every request.
If you turn notifications on, we store it as well. Without that we wouldn't know who to notify about what.
How people move around the app. The app counts how people move around it: where on the screen they tapped and what opened, including which player, team, game or video. We use it to learn what is useful and what is not. That count does not carry your account, any identifier of your phone or your internet address, and never anything you type. It groups what happens while you have the app open, and we delete that grouping after a month. After that, only daily totals remain. Since it does not identify you, there is no setting to turn it off.
Without an account, none of this is linked to a person: we have neither your name nor your email address.
How many people use it
Every so often your phone sends us a short note saying it's still there. It carries a number the app makes up on its own the first time you open it, the type of phone, the browser, whether you opened it as an installed app or from the web, and the version you are running.
That number isn't derived from anything of yours: it is not your phone number, your email address or an account.
And something we would rather say than hide: it is the same number we use for notifications. If you have them turned on, that note and the things you chose to follow sit on the same side of our server. We don't cross-reference them, but technically it could be done, and saying so seems more honest to us than promising it is impossible.
With that we count how many phones there are and how many kept using the app over the last 30 days.
That identifier does not live forever in the usage stats: if a phone goes 12 months without opening the app, we irreversibly stop keeping it alongside them. The count remains (so historical numbers stay honest), but without the identifier.
Your account in the apps
In the Mi Basket apps you can sign in with your Google account and, on iPhone, with your Apple account too. It is optional: the app works in full without an account, as it always has. The account is there so that what you follow comes with you to another phone or to the web.
Accounts are for people aged 13 or over. Before showing you Google and Apple, the app asks what year you were born. That year never leaves your device: it doesn't reach us, it isn't stored in your account and it doesn't travel in any request. Only the outcome stays on the phone, so you aren't asked again. Anyone under 13 isn't offered an account, and the app works for them just the same, with what they follow kept on their phone.
When you sign in, Google or Apple tell us your email address, your name and the identifier of your account with them. If you choose to hide your email with Apple, what reaches us is the address Apple creates for you. We store that and, alongside it, what you follow and how you have the app set up: your favorite players, teams and clubs, the order you look at them in, the theme, the language and whether videos start playing on their own.
We store them for one purpose only: so that you find what you follow exactly as you left it on any phone or browser where you sign in with the same account, without building your favorites again. We don't use them for anything else.
If you save a template of your own in the cover studio and you signed in with your account, we store it there too, so you can open it on another phone or on your computer: the design you uploaded and where the data goes. The player photo and the covers you make are not stored in your account: they stay on your phone only. Without an account, your templates stay on your device only.
With your account we also know which devices you use and which sections you open. It is the same count as always, which without an account stays on the phone and with an account reaches us tied to you. It tells us who is using the app and what they find useful.
If you sign in with Apple, we also store, encrypted, the permission Apple gives us over your account. We use it for one thing only: asking Apple to cancel it when you delete your account.
If you sign out in the app, what you follow stays on your phone and the app keeps working without an account. And if you suspect someone else signed in with your account, under Ajustes (Settings), in "Tu cuenta" (Your account), there is "Cerrar sesión en todos lados" (Sign out everywhere): it signs your account out of every phone and browser where you signed in, including the one in your hand, and disconnects ChatGPT or Claude if you connected them. What you follow stays stored in your account.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account whenever you like, from the app or from the web, without writing to us or reinstalling anything. The app is in Spanish, so the steps quote its labels as they appear.
In the app:
- Tap your photo (or your initials) at the top left, or open Ajustes (Settings) and find "Tu cuenta" (Your account).
- Tap "Borrar mi cuenta" (Delete my account).
- Confirm with "Borrar mi cuenta".
On the web:
- Sign in to web.mibasket.app and open Ajustes (Settings). On a computer you can also get there from your name, at the bottom of the sidebar.
- In "Tu cuenta" (Your account), tap "Borrar mi cuenta" (Delete my account).
- Confirm with "Borrar mi cuenta".
Deleting it deletes your email address, your name, your account identifier and everything you had stored in it: what you follow, how you had the app set up and your cover templates. The player photos you uploaded are deleted too, both the published ones and the ones awaiting review (see below). All your sessions are closed, your devices are no longer tied to you, ChatGPT or Claude are disconnected if you had connected them and, if you signed in with Apple, we ask Apple to cancel the permission it gave us. On the phone or browser you delete it from, what you followed goes as well. The app keeps working without an account, and if you sign in again later, you start with a new account.
If you can't get into your account, write to us at [email protected] telling us which email address you signed in with, and we will delete it for you.
If you sign in to the web
To use web.mibasket.app you sign in with your Google or Apple account. It is the same account as in the apps: it stores the same things, for the same purpose, and it is deleted the same way. On the web it is also for people aged 13 or over: the year question is asked once per browser, the year doesn't leave it either, and anyone under 13 is invited to use the app from their store, which works without an account.
One difference from the app: if you sign out on the web, what you follow leaves that browser and comes back when you sign in again.
If you connect Mi Basket to ChatGPT or Claude
You can connect Mi Basket as a data source for ChatGPT or Claude by signing in with your Google or Apple account. It is optional. When you do, the assistant asks Mi Basket for what it needs to answer you: games, results, standings, statistics and, if you ask for it, the list of leagues, teams, clubs and players you follow. That is the only thing that goes to OpenAI or Anthropic: never your email address, your name, your password or any other account data. What they do with what they receive is governed by their own privacy policy.
The connector only reads: it cannot change what you follow or anything else in your account. You can disconnect it at any time from the assistant's settings, or ask us to block the access by writing to [email protected].
To know how much the connector is used, we keep one line per request: what the assistant asked for (for example, a standings table), whether it worked, how long it took and whether it was ChatGPT or Claude. We do not keep the text of your question or your account: in place of your account there is an encrypted code that is not enough to tell who you are.
Baski, the app's assistant
Baski answers questions about games, standings and players. The most common ones are answered by Mi Basket with its own data, and nothing leaves here. The rest are answered by an artificial intelligence from another company, DeepSeek, with servers in China, and only if you signed in with your account and accepted the notice shown in Baski. You can turn it off at any time in Settings.
We send DeepSeek your question, the latest part of that conversation, the app screen you are asking from and the names of the teams, clubs and players you follow, so the answer takes them into account. Never your email, your name or any data from your account. What they do with what they receive is governed by their own privacy policy. Artificial intelligence can make mistakes: check anything important against the official source.
Your chat history with Baski stays on your device only. To improve Baski we keep the text of each question, without your account, and we delete it after 90 days. We do not keep the answer. The exception is when you mark an answer as wrong: then we keep that question, that answer and whatever you choose to tell us about what went wrong, with your account, for 90 days, to fix the mistake. For each answer we also keep how much it cost, how long it took and which data it looked up; that is how we count the daily questions answered by the artificial intelligence. If you delete your account, none of it stays tied to you.
Notifications
If you turn on alerts for a game or a player, a technical device identifier is stored together with what you chose to follow, and that is the only thing that lets us know who to send what to. You can turn them off whenever you like: doing so deletes that information. If you uninstall the app, it is discarded as soon as the system tells us that device no longer exists.
Sports data
Results, fixtures, rosters and statistics are published openly by the Uruguayan Basketball Federation (FUBB), the Liga de Basketball de Montevideo (LBM) and FIBA, and are public in nature. Mi Basket is an independent app: it is not affiliated with or officially endorsed by any federation, league or club.
Error reports
If the app fails, a technical report is sent (the app version, which screen it happened on and the error trace) so that it can be fixed. It does not include your name or your email address. If you write to us from "Avisar que algo anda mal" (Report a problem), the text you write is sent as well, along with the app version, the screen and the browser; if you are signed in, your email address goes too, so we can reply. Reports are kept for 30 days.
Who we share it with
We do not sell or hand over data to anyone. To make the app work we rely on these services: Google and Apple deliver the notifications to your device, Google or Apple verify who you are when you sign in to the app or the web or connect an assistant with your account, and Pushover and Resend get the error reports to us. Cloudflare, where our servers run, reviews, on our behalf, the player photos that are uploaded, as explained below. If you connect Mi Basket to ChatGPT or Claude, OpenAI or Anthropic receive the answers to what you ask them, and if you use Baski with artificial intelligence, DeepSeek receives your questions, as explained above. Nothing else leaves here.
A player's photo
On the profile of a player in the Liga de Basketball de Montevideo, anyone signed in with their account can propose the player's photo. It is not offered in the other leagues, where you see the photo the source publishes. The feature is reaching the apps and the web gradually, so you may not see it in yours yet. This section explains how it works where it is available.
The Liga de Montevideo is a competition for players aged 18 and over. The photo applies to any profile in the league, with no other restriction by the player's age. Anyone who would rather their photo did not appear can ask us, as explained below.
When you upload a photo we store the image, which we rebuild ourselves as a square crop without the metadata the file carried (location, date or phone model). Along with it we store the account that uploaded it, the date and the version of the terms you accepted before publishing. We do not give the photo to third parties: it is shown on the player's public profile, which is what you uploaded it for.
No photo is published without review. First an automated model checks that it shows a person's face and has no inappropriate content. That model runs on Cloudflare, where our servers run, which processes the image on our behalf and for nothing else. Then a person on our team looks at it, and only then does it appear on the profile.
Whoever uploaded a photo can take it down from the profile with "Quitar la foto" (Remove the photo). If a photo is not right, on the player's profile tap "Cambiar o reportar la foto" (Change or report the photo) and then "Reportar esta foto" (Report this photo; you need to be signed in), or write to us at [email protected]. We review it and, if warranted, take it down, and we can block the account that uploaded it. From the same place you can choose to stop seeing that photo on your phone.
If you delete your account, every photo you uploaded is deleted, including the ones awaiting review: the profile goes back to the photo it had before and the image is deleted from our archive. All that remains is a record that the photo existed and was removed, without your name or email address. A phone that had already downloaded it may keep showing it for a while, until it refreshes.
If you appear in the app
If you are a player, or their parent or guardian, and you would rather your photo or your data did not appear, write to us and we will take it down: [email protected]. There is no need to explain why.
