Privacy Policy
This policy covers northcentralrefs.com and the North Central Refs app. It says what we collect from officials, why we hold it, who else sees it, and how to delete it.
Last updated November 3, 2026What we collect
- Roster records from ArbiterSports: your name, email address, phone numbers, home address, photo, and the sports and groups you belong to. We do not keep your date of birth.
- Your home address on a map, to work out drive times and mileage to game sites.
- What you post: messages, photos, voice memos, videos, shared locations, polls, comments, gear listings, rules questions and Case of the Day answers.
- What you do in the site and the app: pages you open, notification choices, meeting check-ins, game assignments and dues payments.
- Sign-in and device details needed to keep your session working, send push notifications and keep the site secure.
How we use it
- Run your membership: assignments, meetings, dues, earnings and eligibility.
- Deliver messages between members and send the notifications you turn on, by push or email.
- Answer rules questions you ask.
- Keep the site working and spot misuse.
We do not track you across other apps or websites, and we show no ads.
Who else sees it
Other members see what you post in conversations you share, and the directory shows members the contact details you gave the association. The services that run the site handle data for us:
- ArbiterSports, the system of record for your officiating registration and assignments.
- Convex and Vercel, which host the database and the site.
- Resend for email and Expo for push notifications.
- Mux and UploadThing, which store videos and photos.
- Mapbox and Apple Maps, for drive times, addresses and maps.
- Google and Apple, when you sign in with them.
- Google Gemini and OpenAI, which write answers to the rules questions you ask. Leave names and other personal details out of your questions.
- Stripe, when you pay dues by card. Card numbers go to Stripe, never to us.
- Anyone the law requires us to tell.
We do not sell your information, and we do not pass it to anyone for their own marketing.
How long we keep it
We keep your account data while you have an account. Roster, assignment, dues and meeting records belong to the association and stay for its records.
Your choices
- Turn email and push notifications on or off in Profile.
- Location, camera, photos, microphone, calendar and push access are optional. Change them in your phone’s settings.
- Change or remove your phone number in Profile. Your name, email and address come from ArbiterSports; update them there.
Deleting your account
Open Profile and choose Delete account, in the app or on the web. We delete your sign-in, settings, activity, devices and everything you posted, including messages, photos, voice memos, videos and listings. Your messages show as unsent to the people you sent them to.
Your membership, game assignments, travel estimates, dues and meeting records stay with the association. You can sign up again later with the same email.
