Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account on Pitch Connect, we collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, phone number, and profile details. We also collect information about your use of the platform, such as games you join, clubs you create or belong to, and messages you send.

If you choose to connect your Facebook account via our "Find Friends" feature, we receive your Facebook user ID and a list of friends who also use the app. We do not store your Facebook access token.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the platform
• Connect you with other players, games, and clubs in your area
• Send notifications about games, club activity, and tournament updates
• Help you find friends who are already on the platform
• Ensure the security and integrity of the service

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Your profile information (name and avatar) is visible to other users on the platform. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the platform, such as hosting and email delivery services.

4. Contact Matching

When you use the "Find Friends" feature with phone contacts, the phone numbers are sent to our server for matching purposes only and are not stored. Facebook friend matching uses only Facebook user IDs to find mutual connections.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time, which will remove your personal data from our systems. Some information may be retained in backups for a limited period.

6. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time through your account settings. You can disconnect third-party services (such as Facebook) at any time. You may also request a copy of your data by contacting us.

8. Cookies

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and maintain your session. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised date.
