Effective Date: February 4, 2026

Local Link Leagues (“Local Link Leagues,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a web application that helps people play in-person games at local venues (like bars and breweries). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

We aim to keep this simple: we do not sell your data, and we do not run ads. We also do not use third-party marketing trackers.


1) Information We Collect

We collect information in a few ways:

A. Information you provide

  • Phone number: used for authentication (one-time passcodes) and, if you opt in, for service-related SMS notifications. You can opt out any time by replying STOP.
  • Profile information: such as a display name, optional avatar, and preferences you choose to set.

B. Information created when you use the service

  • Game participation history: games you played, scores/results (where applicable), and related participation details.
  • Venue associations: the venues you join, visit, or set as a preferred venue.
  • Achievements and stats: badges/achievements and service-generated stats based on gameplay activity.

C. Technical and security information

  • Audit logs: records of key actions (for example: sign-ins, account changes, administrative actions, and security events). These help us prevent fraud, investigate issues, and meet compliance needs.
  • Basic device and usage data: such as IP address, browser type, and timestamps associated with requests. We use this mainly for security, troubleshooting, and service reliability.

D. What we do not collect

  • We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
  • We do not collect sensitive personal information unless you choose to provide it (and we encourage you not to).

2) How We Use Information

We use your information only to operate, maintain, and improve Local Link Leagues. This includes:

  • Authentication and account access: sending OTPs and keeping your account secure.
  • Core features: letting you join venues, find or log games, track participation, and earn achievements.
  • Service improvement: understanding what’s working, fixing bugs, and improving performance and usability.
  • Security and compliance: monitoring for suspicious activity, protecting accounts, enforcing rules, and maintaining audit logs.

No automated decision-making with legal effects: We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.


3) Data Sharing

We share information only in limited situations:

A. With service providers (processors)

We may use trusted vendors to help us run the service (for example: hosting, databases, email/SMS delivery for OTP, error monitoring). These providers can access information only to perform services for us and must protect it.

B. With venues (in a limited, practical way)

Venues may see aggregated or anonymized statistics about gameplay at their location (for example: number of games played, leaderboards, or participation counts). We design this to support community play and venue insights.

C. For legal and safety reasons

We may disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to:

  • comply with law or valid legal process,
  • protect the rights, safety, and security of users, venues, or the public,
  • prevent fraud or abuse, or
  • respond to emergencies.

D. Business transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. If this happens, we will take steps to ensure your information remains protected and notify you as required.

We do not sell your data

Local Link Leagues does not sell personal information. We also do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

No third-party marketing trackers

We do not use third-party marketing trackers (like advertising pixels) on the service.


4) Data Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above.

A. Account information

We keep your profile and account data while your account is active.

B. Game and venue records

We keep gameplay and venue-related records to support league history, stats, and venue/community reporting.

C. Account deletion and anonymization

If you delete your account:

  • We delete or remove personal data associated with your account (such as contact information and profile identifiers), and
  • We anonymize historical game records so overall venue statistics and league history remain accurate (for example, we keep the game record but remove identifiers linking it to you).

D. Audit logs

We retain audit logs for a reasonable period to support:

  • security investigations,
  • fraud prevention,
  • reliability, and
  • compliance obligations.

Retention periods may vary based on the type of log and legal requirements, but we aim to minimize how long we keep them.


5) User Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information.

A. Access and data export

You can request a copy of your data (data export). This typically includes profile information and your activity history tied to your account.

B. Deletion

You can request account deletion at any time. As described above, we delete personal data and anonymize historical game records to preserve venue/league statistics.

C. Correction

You can request that we correct inaccurate personal information (for example: a display name or phone number).

D. Restriction and objection (GDPR)

In certain cases, you may have the right to restrict or object to how we process your data.

E. Data portability (GDPR)

Where applicable, you can request your data in a portable format.

F. Non-discrimination (CCPA/CPRA)

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

G. “Do Not Sell or Share”

Because we do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, this is already our default behavior.

How to exercise your rights

You can submit requests through in-app controls (where available) or by contacting us (see Contact Information). We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

If you are in the EEA/UK, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.


6) Security

We take security seriously and use reasonable safeguards designed to protect your information, including:

  • access controls and least-privilege practices,
  • encryption in transit (HTTPS) and encryption at rest where appropriate,
  • monitoring and audit logging for suspicious activity,
  • backups and recovery processes.

No system is 100% secure, but we work to prevent unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration of your data.


7) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will:

  • update the Effective Date, and
  • post the updated policy in the app or on our website.

If changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (for example, an in-app message).


8) Contact Information

If you have questions, requests, or concerns about this Privacy Policy or your data, contact us:
