Privacy Policy

Effective 10 September 2026

Welcome to Statlete!

This Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used, shared, stored and secured by Statlete, LLC (referred to as “Statlete,” “we,” “our” and “us”) when you use the Statlete website at statlete.co and the Statlete mobile app (collectively, the “Site”), together with any related products, services, features, and content that link to or reference this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”), or when you otherwise interact with us. This Privacy Policy explains your choices concerning our information practices. Because the website and the app collect very different amounts of information, we describe each where it matters.

Our Services contain links to other websites operated by third parties as well as certain features that allow you to share content with or to third-party services — for example, when you tap Share to send a score card to a messaging app or social network. Information you share in that way is governed by the privacy policies of those third-party services, which we encourage you to review. We are not responsible for the privacy or security of, or information found on, these sites or platforms. Information you provide on public or semi-public venues, such as third-party social networking platforms, may also be viewable by other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms without limitation as to its use. Our inclusion of such links or features does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators.

Notice at Collection

Before using the Services or submitting any Personal Information to Statlete, please review this Privacy Policy carefully and contact us if you have any questions. By using the Services, you agree to the collection, disclosure, use and retention of Personal Information described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not access the Site or otherwise use the Services.

Personal Information We Collect

When you interact with us through the Services, we collect and combine information and data from you, including information that may identify you or otherwise be considered to be “personal information”, “personal data” or “personally identifiable information” under laws that regulate privacy and data protection (“Personal Information”) as follows:

Personal Information You Provide: We collect the following categories of Personal Information from you when you visit the Site, create a Statlete account, subscribe to the Service, or otherwise provide such information to us:

Contact Information: We collect your email address and a password when you create an account, and your email address if you submit our website waitlist form. Your password is never visible to us. We ask for your date of birth when you create an account, in order to confirm that you are at least 13 years old. The day is checked on your own device and is never stored; we retain only your birth month and year, which we use to produce aggregate, non-identifying audience counts. We do not collect your name or telephone number.

Profile Information: During onboarding you provide a handle (your starting handle is generated at random and can be changed at any time), an avatar icon, the favorite leagues and teams you follow, your gender, and an optional home market. Gender is a required question with three options (male, female, or other); we use it only to produce aggregate, non-identifying audience counts, and it is never shown to other players. Your home market is a city you select from a fixed list, or skip entirely. It is self-declared and is not location data: the app does not use GPS, does not request location permission, and does not derive your location from your IP address or postcode.

Gameplay Information: We collect a record of how you play, including your score for each game, how many tries you used, a structured breakdown of what you got right and wrong, your streak, and your lifetime totals. We also collect anti-cheat signals (e.g., how long you took to complete a set, which questions were scored, and the app version you used), which we use for detection only and which never prevent you from playing. We do not store anything you type into a free-text answer box; where a game checks a typed guess, that check happens on your own device and we save only whether you were correct and how many clues you used.

Friend Information: If you add a friend, we store the connection between the two accounts and whether it is pending or accepted. Friend requests can only be sent and accepted by the people involved. We never access your contacts or address book, we do not upload them, and there is no invite-by-email feature. Friends are found by searching for a handle inside the app.

Communication Information: We collect information when you contact us for support or otherwise communicate with us. Providing this information is optional to you.

Publicly Visible Information: Statlete has leaderboards and a friends feature, so parts of your profile are visible to other players. Any signed-in player can see your handle and avatar icon, your favorite leagues and teams, your current and longest streak, your lifetime statistics (total score, days played, games played), and your daily leaderboard row. Other players cannot see your email address, your gender, your birth month and year, your home market, your answers to individual questions, or who your friends are (unless they are one of them). If you would rather not be identifiable to other players, you can change your handle at any time.

Sensitive Personal Information: We do not collect Personal Information that qualifies as “sensitive data” under applicable U.S. state data privacy laws. For example, precise geolocation; racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership; health, sex life, or sexual orientation information; genetic or biometric data; citizenship or immigration status; or the contents of your communications.

Internet Activity Information: When you visit, use, and interact with the Service, we may receive certain information about your visit, use, or interactions. For example, we may monitor the number of people that visit the Service, peak hours of visits, which page(s) are visited, the domains our visitors come from (e.g., google.com, yahoo.com, etc.), and which browsers people use to access the Service (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc.), broad geographical information, and navigation pattern. In particular, the following information is created and automatically logged in our systems:

Information Collected Automatically: We do not run any analytics, advertising, or attribution software, and we do not use a device advertising identifier. The only information collected automatically is what is needed to run and secure the Services:

Device Information (from crash reports, through Sentry): When the app encounters an error, our crash reporting provider, Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.), captures your device model, your operating system version, and your app version so that we can fix the problem. A crash report can occasionally include your account identifier because it captures which parts of the app were in use when the error occurred. We have turned off Sentry’s collection of IP addresses and personal identifiers, and we do not use it for analytics, performance monitoring, or session recording.

App Update Checks (through Expo): When you open the app, it checks for an available update with Expo (650 Industries, Inc.), which hosts the update service that lets us ship fixes without waiting for an App Store review. That request includes your device’s IP address, platform, and app version. It does not include your account, your scores, or anything else about you.

Log and Authentication Information: Our providers record your IP address and sign-in timestamps (through Firebase Authentication) for authentication and abuse prevention, and standard operational server logs (through Google Cloud), which include your account identifier. Our web host, Cloudflare, records standard server logs that may include IP addresses for security and operational purposes.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies: The Statlete website is a set of static pages: it sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and embeds no third-party trackers or fonts. The waitlist form posts to Google Forms in the background, and no Google script, cookie, or tracker loads when you visit. The app contains no advertising network, no ad mediation, no analytics package, no attribution or install-measurement software, and no marketing automation; Firebase Analytics is disabled in the build. Because we do not use cookies or cross-site tracking technologies, there are no cookie settings to manage and there is nothing for a browser “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signal to act on. We do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites, and the app declares no tracking to Apple.

Derived Information: We use the favorite leagues and teams you tell us about to tailor which puzzles you see and to decide, on your own device, which sponsor logo to show you. We do not build advertising or behavioral profiles about you.

How We Use Personal Information

We may use Personal Information for the following purposes:

  • To create your account, sign you in, and keep it secure;
  • To run the games and calculate scores, streaks, and leaderboard positions;
  • To show you your friends’ results and let you send and accept friend requests;
  • To tailor which puzzles you see, based on the leagues and teams you follow;
  • To decide, on your own device, which sponsor logo to show you, without sending anything about you to the sponsor;
  • To detect cheating and protect the integrity of the leaderboard;
  • To understand how the app is being used overall, by counting information we already store to run the game, without any outside analytics service and without sending your information to any third party;
  • To fix bugs and to answer your support requests;
  • To deidentify and/or aggregate and anonymize your Personal Information for our own business purposes, including to produce non-identifying audience counts; and
  • To contact you about your account or a material change to this Privacy Policy, to comply with legal obligations and legal process, and to enforce our Terms of Use and protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and that of our users or others.

Research and Development: We may aggregate Personal Information and use the aggregated and de-identified information to analyze the effectiveness of the Service, to improve and add features to the Service, gain anonymous insights into product and brand performance on the Service, and for other business purposes. In addition, from time to time, we may analyze the general behavior and characteristics of Users and share aggregated information like general user statistics with prospective business partners.

Sponsors and Advertising: We show sponsor logos inside the app, but we do not share your information with sponsors and we do not serve interest-based or cross-context behavioral advertising. Which logo you see is decided on your own device, so your home market, favorite teams, and favorite leagues never leave your phone for advertising purposes. We do not build advertising profiles about you and we do not sell audience segments.

Communications: We use your email address to contact you about your account, to respond to your support requests, and to tell you about a material change to this Privacy Policy. If you joined our waitlist, we use your email address only to invite you to the pilot and to notify you at launch, and every such email includes an unsubscribe link. We do not collect telephone numbers, and we do not send marketing by SMS or telephone.

How Long We Keep Your Information: While your account is open, we keep your profile, your results, and your leaderboard entries for as long as the account exists; scores and streaks are the point of the product, so there is no automatic expiry. When you delete your account, your friend connections, your profile, your home market, and your sign-in credentials (including your email address) are deleted immediately, and a server process then deletes your results and leaderboard entries. A few things survive deletion: aggregate, non-identifying statistics; operational log entries and crash reports that may contain your account identifier, held by our providers under their own retention settings; anything Apple or Google keep about your app store account; and anything we are legally required to retain, for as long as we are required to retain it. Where we delete a profile for a breach of our Terms of Use, any remaining score records are de-identified rather than removed so that historical leaderboards stay intact.

If you would like to opt-out of receiving certain communications, see the “Your Choices” section below.

Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Information

Sharing Personal Information: In certain circumstances we may share the categories of Personal Information described above without further notice to you, unless required by the law, with the following categories of third parties:

Vendors and Service Providers: To assist us in meeting business operations needs and to perform certain services and functions, we may share Personal Information with vendors and service providers, including providers of hosting and cloud services, other information technology service providers, email delivery services, crash reporting and diagnostics services, and application build and update distribution services. Pursuant to our instructions, these parties will access, process, or store Personal Information in the course of performing their duties to us. We do not share Personal Information with advertising, marketing, or analytics vendors, and we do not use payment processors, because the Services do not take payments from players.

Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, dissolution, sale of all or a portion of our assets, or transition of service to another provider, including the negotiations thereof (collectively and each a “Transaction”), your Personal Information and other information may be shared in the diligence process with counterparties and others assisting with a Transaction and transferred to a successor or affiliate as part of or following that Transaction along with other assets.

Legal Requirements: If required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) comply with a legal obligation, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, (b) protect and defend our rights or property, (c) prevent fraud, (d) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Service, or the public, or (e) protect against legal liability.

Affiliates: We may share Personal Information with our current and future affiliates, meaning an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Company. Our affiliates may use the Personal Information we share in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy. Affiliates may be located outside the United States of America.

Other Users: The Service may contain a community forum and message board where Users are able to create profiles, writings, reviews, photographs, ideas, videos, audio recordings, computer graphics, pictures, data, or other content, including Personal Information (collectively, “User Content”). The Service may display, reproduce, publish, distribute or otherwise use User Content online or offline in any media or format (currently existing or hereafter developed) and may or may not attribute it to you. Others may have access to this User Content and may have the ability to share it.

Discretion/Consent: We may share your Personal Information at your discretion, including when you submit a product review using a third-party service or otherwise direct us to disclose your Personal Information to a third party. We may also share your Personal Information with your consent.

Opting Out; Changing or Deleting your Personal Information: You can choose the types of communications you wish to receive from us, change your information or request that we delete certain information at any time, as follows:

Opt Out From Receiving Communications. If you do not wish to receive communications from Company that do not relate directly to your use of the Services (such as newsletters, event notifications or other marketing communications), you can opt out from receiving such communications at any time. We provide a link in all of our electronic marketing communications to allow you to easily “unsubscribe” to these communications. You can also notify us that you do not wish to receive further communications by sending us your request as set forth in the “Contact Us” section below. Please note that, in connection with your use of certain Services, including the Site, we will still need to send you certain notifications that relate directly to your use of the Services, such as technical notices, updates, service notifications, security alerts, billing and administrative messages, and will need to communicate with you to provide you with support.

Change Your Information. You can change or update your information with us at any time. To change or update your information, please send us your request as set forth in the “Contact Us” section below. However, if your information has been provided to us by [your employer or other company for which we have provisioned your account/a third party], updates to certain information on your account must be requested by such [company/entity].

Delete Your Information. You can delete your account and its data at any time. In the app, go to your profile, choose to delete your account, and confirm your password; if you have already uninstalled the app or cannot sign in, you can request deletion by emailing us at the address in the “Contact Us” section below. Everything described under “How Long We Keep Your Information” above is deleted, and we will confirm once it is done. Deletion is permanent — we cannot restore scores, streaks, or friend connections afterwards. In certain cases we may retain limited information as described above, including aggregate, non-identifying statistics, provider logs and crash reports held under their own retention settings, and anything we are legally required to keep.

State Privacy Rights

Where provided for by law and subject to any applicable exceptions, residents of certain states may have additional rights. If you live in a state that has implemented its own privacy law (e.g., California and the California Consumer Protection Act), you may have such rights. These rights are not absolute, and in some cases, they may not apply, including if a legal exception applies. If this is the case, we will not be able to process your request. The rights include:

  • Right to Know: The right to request that we disclose to you the Personal Information we collect, use, or disclose, and information about our data practices.
  • Right to Request Correction: The right to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information that we maintain about you.
  • Right to Request Deletion: The right to request that we delete your Personal Information that we have collected from or about you.
  • Right to Opt Out of Targeted Advertising: The right to opt out of the processing of your Personal Information obtained from your activities on nonaffiliated websites or online applications for the purposes of targeted advertising.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: The right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your privacy rights.
  • Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Information: In some cases, you may have the right to ask that we limit the way we use your Personal Information. In some cases, you can exercise this right by asking that we delete your Personal Information. You may also have the right to object to how we process Personal Information, or to withdraw your consent if our use is based on consent.

Please note that to protect your information and the integrity of our products, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request. In some cases, we may need to collect additional information to verify your identity, such as a government issued ID.

Under certain U.S. Privacy Laws, you may also designate an authorized agent to make these requests on your behalf. If you use an authorized agent to submit a request, we may need to collect additional information, such as a government issued ID, to verify your identity before processing your request to protect your information.

Statlete does not sell or share personal information and does not engage in targeted advertising, so there is nothing for you to opt out of; we describe the right here for completeness. For more information, please refer to the “Your Choices” section below.

The information we collect, use, and disclose about you will vary depending on how you interact with the Services. To find out more, please see the following sections of this Privacy Policy: Personal Information We Collect, How We Use Personal Information, and Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Information. To exercise any of these rights, email us from the email address on your account, or use the in-app account and deletion tools, as set forth in the “Contact Us” section below. After we receive your request, we may request additional information from you to verify your identity. Your authorized agent may submit requests in the same manner, although we may require the agent to present signed written permission to act on your behalf, and you may also be required to independently verify your identity with us and confirm that you have provided the agent permission to submit the request.

Children

We do not intentionally collect Personal Information from individuals in the U.S. who are under the age of 13. If a child under 13 submits Personal Information to Company and we learn that the Personal Information is the information of a child under the age of 13, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible. If you believe that we might have any Personal Information from a child under the age of 13, please contact us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section below.

Links to Other Websites

The Service may contain links to other websites and services not operated or controlled by Company, including social media services (“Third-Party Services”). The information that you share with Third Party Services will be governed by the specific privacy policies and terms of service of the Third-Party Services and not by this Privacy Policy. By providing these links we do not imply that we endorse or have reviewed these Third-Party Services. Please contact the Third-Party Services directly for information on their privacy practices and policies.

Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational measures to protect Personal Information both online and offline from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet or e-mail transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, email sent to or from us may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via the Service or email. You use the Service at your own risk. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personal Information to Company via the Internet. In addition, we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Service, or Third-Party Services.

Your Choices

In certain circumstances providing Personal Information is optional. However, if you choose not to provide Personal Information that is needed to use some features of our Service, you may be unable to use those features. You can also contact us to request updates or corrections to your Personal Information. If you have questions or concerns about other Personal Information collected by us, or are unable to use your Company account and would like assistance accessing that information, please contact us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section below.

You may opt out of marketing-related communications by following the opt out or unsubscribe instructions contained in the marketing communication we send you, or by updating your settings through your account. If you unsubscribe from our marketing lists, you will no longer receive marketing communications from us but we will continue to contact you to provide the Service, regarding management of your account, other administrative matters, and to respond to your requests.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

The Service and our business may change from time to time. As a result, we may change this Privacy Policy at any time. When we do, we will post an updated version on this page, unless another type of notice is required by applicable law. By continuing to use our Service or providing us with Personal Information after we have posted an updated Privacy Policy, you consent to the revised Privacy Policy and practices described in it.

Contact Us

If you have any questions or complaints about our Privacy Policy or information practices, would like to request a version of this notice in an accessible format, or would like to contact us in regard to any of the topics discussed above, you can reach us by email at jabate@statlete.co, or by mail at 2125 Southend Dr, Unit 303, Charlotte, NC 28203. You can also exercise your rights, including account deletion, directly in the app. We will respond within the period required by the law that applies to you, and we will not treat you differently for asking.
