Welcome to players.cards, a platform designed for players, fans, coaches, and parents to track live stats, view team overviews, and receive AI-driven recommendations to improve basketball game strategies. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, share, and secure personal information through our Services. By using our Services, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

1. Data Collection

We collect personal data such as your name, email address, and team affiliation. We also collect data related to game performance, including player stats, scores, and other game-related data. Additionally, we may collect device information and usage data, such as how you interact with our platform and any technical details regarding your devices and internet connection.

2. Use of Data

The data we collect is used to provide real-time game statistics, AI-driven recommendations for improving gameplay, and personalized content. We also use this data to analyze trends, improve the functionality of our platform, and send you important updates about your account, including performance insights and recommendations.

3. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. However, we may share your data with trusted partners who assist us in providing our services, such as hosting services, analytics providers, and marketing platforms. We may also share your data when required by law or in response to legal requests.

4. Security of Data

We implement security measures to protect your data, including encryption during transmission and secure storage. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We strive to protect your data but cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. User Rights

You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal data. You can also withdraw your consent for us to use your data at any time. If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us at support@$players.cards.

Data Retention for Virtual Player Cards: If you have sold your virtual player card, certain personal data (such as your name and image) may continue to be displayed to preserve the integrity of past transactions and fulfill contractual obligations with buyers. All other personal data will be permanently deleted. This limited retention is necessary to maintain the authenticity and value of the virtual trading card ecosystem and to protect the interests of card purchasers.

6. Children's Privacy

Parents have full access to and control over the privacy settings and data collection for their children. We collect personal information such as names and images of athletes. To protect privacy, last names are by default only visible to members of the same team. Photos are private by default and are displayed as AI avatars to non-team members; however, parents may override this setting to always show actual images. If you have any concerns about your child's privacy or data collection, please contact our support team at support@players.cards.

7. Third-Party Services

We may integrate with third-party services like analytics platforms, payment processors, and social media. These services may collect and use your data according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their privacy policies to understand how your data may be handled.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is published. We encourage you to check this page regularly to stay informed about how we are protecting your data.
