Privacy Policy

a. Information You Provide

• Account Registration: Name, email address, and other optional profile details when signing up.
• User Content: Messages, RSVPs, comments, or media you submit within the app.

b. Information We Collect Automatically

• Device & Technical Info: Device type, OS version, app crash logs.
• Usage Data: Features used, interactions, session frequency.
• Location Data: With permission, we collect precise geolocation to show nearby events, venues, and fan meetups. You can disable location sharing via your device's privacy settings at any time.

c. App Tracking & Third-Party Tools

• We may use SDKs and analytics tools to help improve app experience and performance.
• In compliance with Apple's AppTrackingTransparency (ATT), we request your consent before tracking your activity across third-party apps and websites.

We use your data to:

• Power core app features like event discovery, social interaction, and venue mapping.
• Personalise your in-app experience.
• Analyse usage to improve features and user engagement.
• Communicate with you (service updates, event reminders, support).
• Meet legal or regulatory obligations.

We may share your data:

• With service providers (e.g. cloud hosting, analytics) under strict confidentiality terms.
• In aggregated, anonymised form with partners (e.g. footfall or engagement stats — never personal data).
• As required by law, court order, or legal process.

We do not sell your data. We do not share personally identifiable data with advertisers.

You can:

• Opt out of tracking via the ATT prompt on iOS or within your device settings.
• Control location permissions from your phone's settings.
• Access, correct, or delete your personal data by emailing us at: contact@jawdropsports.com
• Unsubscribe from marketing emails via the unsubscribe link in any communication.

We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined above or to comply with legal requirements. Inactive accounts may be deleted after 12 months of no activity.

We apply appropriate security measures to protect your data, including:

• Data encryption
• Restricted access
• Secure storage protocols

Despite these safeguards, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Your data may be processed in countries outside your own. We ensure appropriate protections are in place for international data transfers in line with applicable data protection laws.

SportBuddy is not intended for users under the age of 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without parental consent.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you via the app or email. Continued use of the app after changes are posted signifies your agreement.
