pindeck.ai — Privacy Policy

[Company Legal Name] ("pindeck," "we") explains here what we collect, how we use it, and your choices. This policy covers pindeck.ai and related apps (the "Service"). It does not cover Organizers, Leagues, or third parties who run their own events.

1. Information We Collect

• Account & profile: name, email, display name, password, and bowling profile traits you choose to add (handedness, delivery style, grip, rev rate, speed, PAP, shoe/fit details).
• Performance & equipment data: scores, frames, brackets, ball arsenal, layouts, oil patterns, sessions, and related analytics.
• Payment data: processed by [Stripe]; we receive limited transaction info and do not store full card numbers.
• Identity / KYC data: where you use real-money features, identity and verification data collected by us or our verification provider [provider].
• Location & device: approximate location for eligibility/geo controls, device and usage data, log data.
• Communications: messages, support requests, and notification preferences.

2. How We Use Information

To provide and secure the Service; run Events, Leagues, Wallet, and payouts; verify eligibility, age, and identity; prevent fraud and ensure fair play; provide your personal analytics; process payments and subscriptions; comply with law and tax obligations; and communicate with you.

3. Aggregated & De-Identified Analytics; Data Licensing

We create aggregated and de-identified insights from performance and equipment data — for example, how ball models or oil-pattern families perform across many bowlers. We may use these insights and license or sell them to third parties such as bowling-equipment manufacturers, shoe brands, pro shops, sponsors, and partners.

Before sharing externally, we de-identify data and apply a minimum aggregation threshold (groups of at least [3]) so outputs are not tied to an identifiable individual, and we contractually prohibit recipients from re-identifying it.

4. How We Share Information

• Service providers / processors: hosting, payments ([Stripe]), identity/KYC ([provider]), email/push, analytics — under contract.
• Organizers & League Operators: event/league-related data needed to run events you join.
• Legal & safety: to comply with law, enforce terms, or protect rights and safety.
• Business transfers: in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Aggregated/de-identified data: as in Section 3.

5. Minors

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. Where youth/high-school features are offered, minors may participate only in non-wagering features with verifiable parent/guardian consent. We [exclude minors' data from any data licensing/sale].

6. Your Choices & Rights

Depending on your state (e.g., California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and others), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data, and to opt out of "sale"/"sharing" and certain profiling. To exercise rights: [mechanism / email / in-app control]. California residents: use "[Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information]" at [LINK]. We will not discriminate against you for exercising rights.

7. Retention & Security

We retain data as long as needed for the Service and legal obligations, then delete or de-identify it. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no system is perfectly secure.

8. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, preferences, and analytics. [Cookie controls / banner as required.]

9. Changes & Contact

We may update this policy with notice. Questions or requests: [privacy@pindeck.ai] · [mailing address] · [Data Protection contact].
