Your profile, notifications, data export, and account settings.
Notifications
In-app notifications
Click the bell icon in the top bar to open your notification panel. Notifications include invoice alerts, booking confirmations, and account activity. Unread notifications are marked with a badge on the bell icon.
Clickable notifications
Many notifications are clickable and will navigate you directly to the relevant page. For example, clicking an invoice notification takes you to the payment page for that invoice.
What notifications you can receive
FencR generates in-app and email notifications for the following events (which ones apply to you depends on your role):
- Invoice sent, paid, or marked overdue
- Stripe payment failed
- Booking confirmed or session cancelled
- A session you run was booked or cancelled. Admins and the session's own coaches are told, and the notification names who is leading and who is assisting, so a coach can see at a glance whether it is their floor
- Announcements posted on a session you are signed up for (parents receive them for their children)
- Plan enrolled, plan cancelled, subscription renewed
- Invite sent, resent, or accepted
- Child account claimed by your child
FencR notifies you when something happens, not on a schedule. There are no "practice tomorrow" reminder emails: your upcoming sessions live on your calendar, and you can sync them to Google or Apple Calendar (see Calendar Sync) if you want alerts before a session.
Email preferences
You can toggle non-essential email notifications off from Settings. Transactional emails (invoice delivery, payment receipts, account-security alerts, and the COPPA confirmation when you add a child) are always delivered regardless of this toggle.
Security and payment notifications cannot be disabled. These are required for the platform to function properly.
Account Settings
Update your profile
Go to Settings from the sidebar. You can update your full name, profile photo, date of birth, weapon specializations, city / state / ZIP, and your optional USA Fencing member ID. The USA Fencing ID is stored only on FencR. We do not transmit it to USA Fencing or validate it against their systems.
Manage email preferences
Toggle the Email notifications switch on or off. When off, FencR skips non-essential emails like booking confirmations and broadcast emails from your club. Transactional emails (invoice delivery, payment receipts, account-security alerts, and the COPPA confirmation when you add a child) are always delivered.
Calendar integration
Set up your iCal feed to sync your FencR schedule with your preferred calendar app (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, etc.).
Export your data
Under Your Data on the Settings page, click Export my datato download a ZIP of spreadsheet-ready CSV files (one per table) covering everything FencR stores about you: profile, memberships, bookings, plans, invoices, waiver signatures, messages, and notifications. If you manage child accounts, their data is included too. This satisfies data-access and portability rights under privacy laws such as the GDPR. Club admins can additionally export the club's own records (roster, schedule, bookings, plans, invoices, waiver records, and messages) from the Club Data card in Club Settings.
Danger zone
At the bottom of your settings page you will find the option to delete your account. Deleting your account immediately removes your personal details and permanently disables your login. Your name and your history at each club (attendance, bookings, invoices) are retained in the club's records, where you appear as a deleted account.
