Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

We are the controller of your personal data for the purposes of applicable data protection laws (including UK GDPR / EU GDPR where applicable).

2. Information we collect

We collect information in these categories:

A. Account and profile information

• name or display name, username
• email address (sign-in is by email and password; your password is handled by Firebase Authentication and is never visible to us)
• profile photo/avatar (if you upload one)

B. Social and group features

• friends lists, friend requests, invites
• membership in tables/squads
• actions you take in the App (creating/accepting challenges, discussions)

C. User content

• chat messages you send/receive
• images you upload in chat or elsewhere
• content you post within tables/squads

D. Technical and diagnostic information

• app version and operating system information
• error and crash diagnostics, used to fix faults
• server request logs, which include your IP address, kept for security and troubleshooting

E. Sports data interaction

• fixtures you view, picks you make, challenge data (this is tied to your account)

3. How we use your information

We use your information to:

• provide and operate the App (accounts, tables/squads, challenges, chat)
• maintain safety and integrity (prevent spam, abuse, cheating)
• personalize your experience (e.g., showing relevant tables/squads, keeping state)
• verify your email address and protect your account
• communicate with you (service messages, support responses)
• diagnose faults and improve reliability (error logs, performance monitoring)
• comply with legal obligations

4. Advertising and in-app purchases

The App shows no ads today and sells nothing today: no advertising or tracking software is built into it, and we collect no payment details.

This may change. We may offer optional cosmetic purchases, and we may show advertising, including advertising from licensed betting companies. If we do, we will update this policy and tell you in the App before anything appears, and we will name what the advertising provider or the app store receives.

Two things will not change: we do not sell your personal data, and your messages, email address, friend list and chip balance are never handed to an advertiser. Purchases run through Apple or Google, so we would know that a purchase happened — never your card details.

5. Legal bases (UK/EU GDPR)

Where UK/EU GDPR applies, we process personal data under these legal bases:

• Contract: to provide the App and features you request
• Legitimate interests: to secure and improve the App, prevent abuse, and keep the service reliable (balanced against your rights)
• Consent: where required (e.g., optional marketing, certain permissions)
• Legal obligation: to comply with law enforcement or regulatory requirements

6. How we share your information

A. With other users (as part of the App)

• your display name, avatar, and content may be visible to users in your tables/squads/chats
• challenge participation and discussion content will be visible to relevant participants

B. With service providers (processors)

We use third-party providers to operate the App:

• Google Firebase — Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions and Storage, hosted in Google Cloud's London region (europe-west2). Google processes this data on our behalf under their standard data-processing terms.
• Sports data providers — we receive fixture schedules, live scores and results from them. Your personal data is never shared with them.

C. For legal and safety reasons

We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect users, prevent fraud/abuse, enforce our Terms, or respond to lawful requests.

D. Business transfers

If we're involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

7. International transfers

Your information may be processed in countries outside the UK/EEA. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to protect your data.

8. Data retention

We retain data only as long as needed to:

• provide the App,
• comply with legal obligations,
• resolve disputes,
• enforce agreements.

Typical retention examples:

• account data is kept while your account is active
• chats and uploads may remain available to other users in the same table/squad, even if you leave (depending on how the feature is designed), unless deletion is required by law or technically feasible without breaking conversation history
• logs/crash data are usually kept for a limited period for diagnostics

Deleting your account: you can permanently delete your account at any time from within the App, under Settings → Delete Account. This removes your profile and personal data. Shared history that other players rely on, such as settled table results, is kept but is no longer linked to an active account.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect your data. No system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live (UK/EEA and similar jurisdictions), you may have rights to:

• access your data
• correct your data
• delete your data
• restrict or object to processing
• data portability
• withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent)

To exercise rights, contact us at karum@youonit.co.uk.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK ICO or your local regulator.

11. Children's privacy

The App is for adults. You must be 18 or older to use it, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have collected data from someone under 18, we will delete it and close the account.

12. Push notifications and communications

We may send you service notifications (e.g., invites, chat messages, challenge updates). You can disable notifications in your device settings or in-app settings (if available).

13. Cookies / Tracking (Website and in-app webviews)

If you visit our website or view web content inside the App, cookies or similar technologies may be used for basic functionality, analytics, or security. Where required, we will request consent.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. If changes are material, we will provide notice (e.g., in-app notice). Continued use means you acknowledge the updated policy.
