📋 Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account information — your name, username, and email address when you register
• Profile information — optional bio, playing position, and skill level that you choose to provide
• Location data — approximate location to show nearby games and calculate distances. Location is only accessed while using the app and is never collected in the background

🎯 How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to operate and improve iztree:

• To create and manage your account
• To match you with nearby pickup games based on your location
• To track game statistics, points, and rankings
• To send you notifications about games you are part of (e.g., cancellations, approvals)
• To display your profile to other players in groups you belong to
• To improve app performance and fix issues

🔒 Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information. Passwords are stored using industry-standard hashing (bcrypt) and are never stored in plain text. All communication between the app and our servers uses HTTPS encryption.

Your data is stored on secure servers. We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

🤝 Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Your information may be shared only in the following limited circumstances:

• Other players — your username, profile photo, position, and skill level are visible to players in the same groups and games as you
• Legal requirements — if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users

We do not use third-party advertising or analytics SDKs that collect your data.

📍 Location Data

iztree requests access to your device's location to show nearby games and calculate distances. Location is used only while the app is in the foreground and is never tracked in the background.

You can disable location access at any time in your device settings. Without location access, you can still use the app but nearby game discovery will not be available.

📸 Photos

iztree requests access to your photo library only when you choose to upload a game photo. Photos are uploaded to our servers and displayed within the game they were uploaded to. You can delete any photo you uploaded at any time within the app.

👤 Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
