This Privacy Policy explains how Splobe collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal information when you use the Splobe website, Progressive Web Application (PWA), mobile applications, social media pages and related services (collectively, the "Service").

Splobe is a sports and games platform that helps players, parents and legal guardians, coaches, clubs, training centers, venue hosts/owners, teams, and other sports organizations discover, connect, communicate, and participate in sports and games related activities.

By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that is necessary to provide and improve the Service.

The information we collect depends on how you use SPLOBE.

3. Google Sign-In

SPLOBE may allow users to create or access their account using Google Sign-In.

Depending on the information made available by Google and the configuration of the authentication service, this may include:

• Name;

4. Information About Player Profiles

SPLOBE allows users to create player profiles.

Depending on the features used, a player profile may contain:

• Name or display name;
• Age or age category;
• Gender;
• Sports;
• Playing position;
• Skills;
• Achievements;
• Competition history;
• Teams;
• Clubs;
• Training centers;
• Coaching information;

Gender may be used to support sports-related features, including helping users discover relevant teams, games, competitions, or other sports opportunities, where applicable.

Users may be able to control whether certain profile information is displayed to other users, subject to the features of the Service, age-related safeguards, and applicable law.

Users should carefully consider what information they choose to make publicly or broadly available.

5. Information About Minors

SPLOBE recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy and safety of children and minors.

SPLOBE may support profiles for players who are minors, subject to applicable age requirements, parental or legal guardian consent requirements, and other safeguards.

Different countries may have different legal requirements concerning children's personal information. SPLOBE may therefore apply different age restrictions, consent mechanisms, verification requirements, visibility restrictions, or other safeguards depending on the user's location and applicable law.

6. Self-Created Profiles for Users Between 13 and 18

Where permitted by applicable law, a user between the ages of 13 and 18 may be allowed to create their own player profile.

As part of the registration process, SPLOBE may require the user to provide the email address of a parent or legal guardian.

SPLOBE may send a consent email to the parent or legal guardian.

The minor's account may remain pending, restricted, or inactive for applicable features until the required consent is provided.

The consent process may involve the parent or legal guardian clicking a confirmation link or completing another appropriate consent mechanism.

SPLOBE may retain records of this consent process, including information such as:

• Parent or legal guardian email address;
• Date and time consent was provided;
• Consent status;
• Associated user or player profile; and
• Other information reasonably necessary to maintain a record of consent.

A parent or legal guardian may contact SPLOBE to ask questions about the minor's information or request applicable privacy actions.

7. Profiles Created for Minors by Adults or Organizations

SPLOBE may allow a parent, legal guardian, coach, club, training center, team, or other authorized adult or organization to create a profile for a minor, where permitted by applicable law.

The person creating the profile may be required to confirm that they have obtained the necessary permission or consent from the minor's parent or legal guardian.

SPLOBE may retain a record of that confirmation.

The person or organization creating the profile is responsible for ensuring that the necessary consent or authorization has been obtained.

SPLOBE may request evidence of consent or authorization where reasonably necessary, including in response to:

• A privacy complaint;
• A parental or legal guardian request;
• A safety concern;
• A dispute;
• A legal or regulatory request; or
• Other circumstances where verification is reasonably necessary.

Where appropriate, SPLOBE may restrict or remove a minor's profile if the required consent cannot be established.

8. Parent and Legal Guardian Rights Regarding Minor Profiles

A parent or legal guardian may contact SPLOBE regarding information associated with a minor's profile.

Subject to applicable law, a parent or legal guardian may request:

• Access to information relating to the minor;
• Correction of inaccurate information;
• Restriction of processing;
• Withdrawal of consent;
• Removal of specific information;
• Deactivation of the minor's profile; or
• Deletion of the minor's profile and associated personal information.

SPLOBE may take reasonable steps to verify the identity and authority of a person making a request concerning a minor before providing information or making changes.

Certain information may be retained where required or permitted by law, including information necessary for legal compliance, security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or protection of users.

9. Photographs and Videos of Minors

SPLOBE is a sports and games platform, and photographs and videos may naturally contain players, including minors.

Users may upload legitimate sports-related photographs and videos where they have the necessary rights, permissions, authorization, or other lawful basis to do so.

Examples may include:

• Match photographs;
• Training photographs and videos;
• Team photographs;
• Tournament photographs;
• Competition photographs;
• Sports event photographs;
• Award photographs; and
• Other legitimate sports-related content.

The person uploading content is responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary permission, authorization, or other lawful basis to upload and share it where required by applicable law.

Users must not upload photographs or videos of minors that:

• Are sexual, exploitative, abusive, or inappropriate;
• Are intended to embarrass, harass, bully, threaten, or harm the minor;
• Reveal unnecessary sensitive personal information;
• Reveal a minor's precise location in a way that creates a safety risk;
• Misrepresent the minor or the circumstances in which the image or video was taken;
• Are used for inappropriate commercial, promotional, or other purposes without the necessary authorization; or
• Otherwise violate the minor's privacy, safety, dignity, or legal rights.

Parents or legal guardians may contact SPLOBE regarding concerns about photographs or videos involving their child.

SPLOBE may remove or restrict photographs or videos where we reasonably believe that they create a safety, privacy, exploitation, abuse, or legal concern.

Nothing in this section is intended to prevent legitimate sharing of photographs or videos of sporting events, games, practices, teams, or other ordinary sports activities where such sharing is permitted by applicable law and appropriate permissions or other lawful bases exist.

10. GPS and Location Information

SPLOBE may use your device's GPS or other location technologies, where you provide the necessary permission, to help you discover sports opportunities near you.

For example, location information may be used to suggest:

• Nearby games;
• Nearby players;
• Clubs;
• Training centers;
• Teams;
• Coaches;
• Sports facilities;
• Venues;
• Events; or
• Other sports-related opportunities.

When location permission is enabled, SPLOBE may process your device's location information for these purposes.

SPLOBE aims to use location information to provide relevant nearby recommendations and does not need to display your exact GPS coordinates to other users in order to provide these features.

Where possible, SPLOBE may use an approximate location, area, city, or other less precise representation when displaying location-related information to other users.

SPLOBE does not intend to publicly display a user's precise GPS coordinates or precise home location through a player profile.

You can control location permissions through your device or browser settings. If you disable location access, certain location-based features, including nearby game recommendations, may not function correctly.

For minor profiles, SPLOBE may apply additional restrictions to the collection, use, or display of location information in accordance with applicable law and our child-safety practices.

If you stop using Google authentication or revoke relevant permissions with Google, you may need to use another authentication method supported by SPLOBE, if available.

20. International Data Processing

SPLOBE is intended to be available to users in multiple countries.

As a result, personal information may be processed, stored, or accessed in countries other than the country in which you live.
