Privacy Policy
This policy covers the invited beta of ITYS. Before ITYS is available to everyone, it will also name its operator, list its service providers, and state its retention periods.
Data we collect
Depending on how you use ITYS, we collect:
- authentication identifiers from Apple or Google, and session and recovery data. Your email address is read inside the sign-in token to confirm that the provider verified it, and it is never stored: your account is keyed on a one-way code derived from the provider's identifier for you;
- the display name and username you choose, an optional profile photo, your language, and your time zone;
- your country, for the Region ranking. With your permission, the app reads your device's approximate position and reduces it to a two-letter country on the device; only that country leaves the phone. Without permission, it uses the country your language and format settings imply. No board is narrower than a country;
- friends, friend requests, Leagues, invitations, chat messages, photos, voice notes, files, polls, comments, reactions, blocks, and reports;
- picks and their receipts, point totals, settlements, corrections, and ranking participation;
- notification tokens, preferences, delivery status, and notification interactions;
- support requests, moderation decisions, appeals, account-deletion requests, and the optional answer to the question we ask when you leave;
- crash reports and performance diagnostics, which you can switch off in Settings, Privacy;
- security, device, network, and fraud-prevention data.
Why we use data
We use personal data to create and secure accounts and provide the features you ask for; keep picks, receipts, points, seasons, settlements, and rankings accurate; connect friends and Leagues and deliver the notifications you choose; moderate content, investigate abuse, prevent manipulation, and enforce the Terms; provide support, process deletion and rights requests, and comply with law; and diagnose failures, measure reliability, and improve the product.
Social and public visibility
Accepted friends and members of your Leagues may see your public profile and the social activity you allow. Open picks remain sealed until their questions close.
Region and Worldwide rankings are off by default and need your separate consent. If you join, your username, avatar, public result, settled-pick count, and applicable status may be visible on that board.
Region is the country you are in. The country is read again rather than frozen, so moving changes which board you appear on from then and never alters results already scored. You can turn the location permission off at any time in your device settings. Withdrawing from a ranking removes your row for the rest of the season but does not erase receipts or private Friends results. You can leave a ranking in Settings, Privacy.
Service providers and disclosures
We disclose data only as needed to providers that support authentication, hosting, storage, content delivery, profile-photo moderation, notifications, customer support, security, diagnostics, and legal compliance.
We may also disclose information where the law requires it, to protect users or the integrity of the service, in a transfer of the service subject to appropriate safeguards, or when you direct us to.
International transfers
ITYS is available worldwide where lawful, so your data may be processed outside the country you live in.
Retention and de-identification
We keep data only as long as the purposes above need it. When full deletion would undermine fraud prevention or the integrity of an existing receipt, we keep the minimum necessary record and replace the public identity with a de-identified label.
Account deletion and your choices
You can delete your account in the app, from Settings, Account. You can also control notification categories, leave public rankings subject to season rules, block accounts, remove a profile photo, and ask for review of certain moderation decisions. How to delete your account.
Revoking a sign-in or uninstalling the app does not by itself delete your ITYS account.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability, and you may withdraw consent. Send a request to support@itys.club. We may need to verify your identity before we answer.
Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect data, including access controls, encrypted transport, restricted storage, encrypted backups, audit logging, and security monitoring. No system is completely secure.
Adults only
ITYS is intended for people aged 18 or older, or the local age of majority where it is higher. We do not knowingly allow children to create accounts. If you believe a child's data has reached us, write to support@itys.club.
Changes
We may update this policy. We will show the new version and give notice or ask for renewed consent where required. A change will never silently widen who can see you on a public ranking.
