.01 Minimal by default
BestAfter apps are built with a preference for minimal data collection. We do not use
advertising networks, and we do not sell user data. If an app uses a third-party service
to provide core functionality, that use should be disclosed clearly.
Information shared for support, testing, bug reports, or collaboration is treated as
confidential and used only for operating, maintaining, or improving the relevant app,
unless disclosure is required by law.
.03 Valorant Lock Screen
Valorant Lock Screen is an iPhone app with widget and Live Activity support for following
selected Valorant teams and seeing current or upcoming match information on the lock
screen and home screen.
What it does
The app lets users choose which teams they want to follow, fetches match data for those
selections from the app backend, and shows that information inside the app, widgets,
and Live Activities.
What stays on device
The app stores tracked team selections, the Live Activity preference, and cached match
data locally on the device using shared app storage so the app and widget can stay in
sync.
This local storage is used for product behavior and faster display, not for advertising.
What is sent to the backend
When the app or widget requests match data, it sends the selected team identifiers so
the backend can return the relevant matches.
If Live Activity updates are active, the app may also send a technical push token, the
active match identifier, the Live Activity identifier, and the tracked team identifiers
so the backend can deliver score updates to that activity.
Push updates
If widget push refresh is available, the widget may send a technical push token and
widget metadata such as widget kind and size family so the backend can request a widget
refresh through Apple's push systems.
Based on the current backend code, push registrations may be stored for a limited period
to keep updates working and are used only for widget and Live Activity delivery.
Third-party services
Match data is served through the app's backend, which currently polls Riot-owned
Valorant esports schedule surfaces and related project infrastructure to normalize match
data for the app.
Push delivery for widgets and Live Activities relies on Apple Push Notification service
(APNs). These services are used only to operate match tracking and update delivery.
