This Privacy Policy explains how Richard Ling, operating as Matchpoint ("Matchpoint," "we," "our," or "us"), collects, uses, discloses, and protects information about you when you use the Matchpoint mobile application and any related services (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
If you have questions, contact us at team@matchpoint.place.
We use the information we collect to:
When you are matched with another player, we share limited profile information with them — specifically your name and profile photo — so you can identify each other and coordinate your match. Your location is never shared with other users. We only ask for your preferred play area (which you draw on a map), and use that radius to match you with players whose preferred areas overlap. Your precise location always remains private.
We work with third-party companies that help us operate the Service. These providers have access to your information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf and are obligated not to use it for other purposes.
We may disclose your information if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to comply with applicable law, a court order, or legal process; to protect the rights, property, or safety of Matchpoint, our users, or the public; or to detect, prevent, or address fraud or security issues.
If Matchpoint is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or a notice in the app before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active, or as long as necessary to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete your profile, profile photo, availability data, push notification tokens, and other personal data within 5 business days.
We may retain certain information in anonymized or aggregated form (such as match history records) for safety, fraud prevention, and platform improvement purposes. We may also retain records required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as dispute resolution.
If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):
To exercise these rights, email us at team@matchpoint.place or use the account deletion page at matchpoint.place/account-deletion.
Matchpoint is intended for users who are 13 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has created an account, please contact us at team@matchpoint.place and we will promptly delete the account and associated data.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data storage via Supabase, secure server infrastructure via Render, and token-based authentication. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The Matchpoint app may contain links to or integrate with third-party services such as maps. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any information to them.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you via email or a notice in the app at least 30 days before the changes take effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when the most recent changes were made. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
