Privacy Policy

Last updated: [INSERT DATE YOU PUBLISH THIS]

Important: this is a starting template covering the data this app actually collects, based on its real features. It is not legal advice. Have it reviewed by a lawyer before you rely on it for a real launch, especially the sections on children's privacy and data deletion, which carry real legal risk if wrong.

My Sports Network ("we," "us," "the App") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

Account information: your display name, email address, password (stored securely, never in plain text), and profile photo if you upload one.
Content you create: posts, photos, videos, and voice memos you share in Pro Voice Stream; poll votes; comments or reactions.
Usage information: which sport you follow, which features you use, and basic app activity, used to operate and improve the App.
Purchase information: if you subscribe to a paid segment or make an in-app purchase, our payment processor (e.g. Apple, Google, or Stripe) handles your payment details directly - we do not see or store your full card number.
Device information: basic technical information like device type and app version, used for crash reporting and compatibility.

How We Use Your Information

To provide and operate the App's features (accounts, posts, polls, subscriptions).
To communicate with you about your account or the App.
To maintain a safe community (reviewing reported content, enforcing our Terms of Service).
To improve the App based on how it's used.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:

With service providers who help us run the App (e.g. our database and hosting providers), under agreements that restrict their use of your data.
If required by law, or to protect the safety of our users.
Content you choose to post publicly (e.g. a "Public" Pro Voice post) is visible to other users of the App, as you'd expect.

Your Choices

You can edit or delete your own posts at any time.
You can request deletion of your account and associated data by [INSERT: contact email or in-app "Delete Account" instructions].
You can control notification preferences in the App's settings.

Children's Privacy

[REQUIRED: state your actual minimum age and whether you knowingly collect data from children under 13 (US/COPPA) or under 16 (EU/GDPR). If your app is rated for a general audience, most stores require an explicit statement like: "This App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it." A lawyer should confirm the correct age threshold for every region you operate in.]

Data Retention & Security

We retain your information for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide the App's services. We use industry-standard security measures (including encrypted connections and access controls) to protect your data, though no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Your Rights (GDPR/CCPA)

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to object to certain uses of it. To exercise these rights, contact us at [INSERT CONTACT EMAIL].

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy in the App with an updated "Last updated" date.
