Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 27, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how SportsVybe, LLC (“we,” “us”) collects, uses, and protects information about you when you use our website at www.sportsvybe.com, the SportsVybe mobile app, or the SportsVybe venue dashboard (together, the “Platform”). SportsVybe is offered in the United States and is for adults 18 and older.
1. Information We Collect
Account and profile
Name, username, display name, email, phone number, city and state, profile photos, bio, and your sports preferences and skill ratings.
Bookings, events, and attendance
Bookings you make, events you host or join, RSVPs, check-ins (including check-in time and sport), and attendance history. Event hosts may add anonymous guest spots (a headcount) linked to the host's account; we do not collect a separate email address for those guest spots.
Payments
Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers. We keep payment records — amount, status, receipt link, and card metadata (brand, last four digits, expiration, country) — to service your bookings, refunds, and disputes.
Location
With your permission, the mobile app uses your device's precise location while you are using the app to show nearby venues, distances, and location-based search results. We do not collect location in the background. You can also set a location manually or deny the permission.
Content you post
Ratings (which are public and tied to completed bookings or attendance), messages and chats with other users, photos, and event descriptions.
Usage and device information
When you use the Platform we log usage events — such as searches, venue views, bookings, and screens visited — together with your account ID, a session identifier, device platform (iOS/Android), app version, and your city and state. We use this to understand how the Platform is used and to improve it. We also collect basic device information (model, operating system, app version) and push notification tokens if you enable notifications. We do not collect advertising identifiers.
Support
Information you send us through our support portal.
2. How We Use Information
- Provide bookings, events, payments, and the rest of the Platform
- Coordinate bookings with venues (including request-only bookings we forward on your behalf)
- Show public profiles, ratings, and event pages
- Send booking confirmations, reminders, and updates
- Understand usage to improve the Platform
- Prevent fraud and abuse; enforce our Terms
- Meet legal obligations
3. How We Share Information
- Venues and hosts: when you book or join an event, the venue or host sees the information needed to run it — your name, booking details, attendance, and payment status.
- Other users: your public profile, ratings, and content you post are visible on the Platform.
- Service providers: Stripe (payments) and Amazon Web Services (hosting, authentication, notifications), under their own data protection commitments.
- Legal: when required by law — each request is reviewed for legality and scope, we share only the minimum required, and requests are documented and may be challenged.
We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for third-party advertising.
4. Analytics
Our analytics are first-party: the usage events described in Section 1 are collected and stored by us, associated with your account, and used only to operate and improve SportsVybe. We do not use third-party advertising or analytics trackers on the Platform.
5. Mobile App Permissions
The mobile app may request:
- Location (precise, while in use) — nearby venues and distance-based results
- Camera — scanning payment cards at checkout
- Photo library — adding profile and event photos
- Calendar — you can add a booking once (add-only) or grant full calendar access so we can keep your upcoming bookings in sync (create, update, or remove matching calendar events) after you choose that option
- Notifications — booking confirmations, reminders, and updates
Each permission is optional and requested in context; you can change them in your device settings at any time.
6. Cookies
Our website and venue dashboard use only functional cookies — for things like login sessions and interface preferences. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser, though some features may stop working.
7. Data Retention
We keep information only as long as needed to:
- Provide the Platform (account data: while your account is active)
- Meet legal, tax, and payment obligations: we keep payment and transaction records for 7 years after the transaction (to meet IRS and state tax recordkeeping requirements), and records tied to an open dispute, chargeback, or legal claim until that matter is fully resolved.
- Resolve disputes and enforce agreements
When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.
8. Public Information
Your profile, ratings, and content you post to public areas are visible to other users of the Platform. If you delete your account, ratings you left remain visible as part of the venue's history, since they reflect a real, completed visit — but we remove the link between the rating and your account, so it is no longer attributed to your profile or username.
9. Security
We protect information with encryption in transit (SSL/TLS), PCI-compliant payment processing through Stripe, and AWS cloud infrastructure. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security — if we learn of a breach affecting your information, we will notify you as required by law.
10. Deleting Your Account
You can delete your account from the app: Settings → Delete Account. Deleting your account removes your login and personal profile; payment and dispute records are retained as required by law (Section 7). You can also request deletion through support.sportsvybe.com.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your state, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to access it, to correct it, to delete it, and to receive a copy of it. We honor these requests for all users, regardless of state. To receive a copy of your information, request it through support (we do not currently offer an in-app download).
- To exercise any right, contact us through support.sportsvybe.com. We verify requests using your account email.
- We respond within 45 days.
- If we decline a request, we will explain why, and you may appeal by replying to our response; appeals are reviewed by a different decision-maker.
- We do not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
We do not sell personal information or process it for targeted advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of on that front.
12. Children
SportsVybe is for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have, we will delete it promptly. (If we introduce youth programs in the future, we will update this policy with parental-consent practices first.)
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy. When we make material changes, we will notify you in the app or dashboard and update the date at the top of this page. Material changes to how we handle your information will be presented for your acceptance.
