Privacy Policy

Welcome to SquadSlips. We believe your betting data is your business, not ours. Unlike many applications that track your behavior and store your data on centralized servers, SquadSlips is designed with a "local first" architecture. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is handled when you use our iMessage extension and application.

1. Age Requirements

SquadSlips is an informational and social tool designed for mature audiences. You must be at least 18 years of age to use this application and view the odds provided. We do not knowingly collect any information from individuals under the age of 18. Please note that while 18 is the minimum age to use SquadSlips, you are solely responsible for complying with the legal sports betting age requirements of your specific jurisdiction, which is typically 21 in the United States.

2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The core of your SquadSlips experience lives exclusively on your device. We do not store user accounts or betting histories on our servers. The following data is saved locally on your device:

• Your chosen nickname.
• Your selected profile photo thumbnail.
• Your base unit size preferences.
• Your bet log entries, including selections, odds, stakes, outcomes, and timestamps.
• Your manually selected US state, used solely to filter available sportsbooks locally.

3. Information Shared via iMessage

SquadSlips allows you to share betting cards directly with your contacts via Apple's iMessage platform. When you send a bet card, the following information is embedded in the message payload and shared with the chat participants:

• Your nickname.
• A compressed thumbnail of your profile photo.
• The specific bet selections, odds, and stake amounts for that card.

SquadSlips uses Apple's native frameworks to determine if a chat is a group chat to function properly. We do not have access to the phone numbers, Apple IDs, or real names of the people in your conversations.

4. Information Handled by Servers

To provide live odds, scores, and push notifications, SquadSlips communicates with external servers.

• Live Data: We route requests securely to fetch live sports data and odds. This is a server to server connection, and no personal user profiles are transmitted.
• Push Notifications: To alert you about game commencements, completions, and bet outcomes, our application registers for Apple Push Notifications. We temporarily store an anonymous device token alongside the specific game IDs you are tracking. This data is stored for a maximum of 7 days strictly for the purpose of delivering notifications and is not tied to your personal identity.

5. App Discovery and Deep Linking

To provide seamless navigation, SquadSlips checks your device locally to determine if supported third party sportsbook applications are installed. This allows us to generate functional deep links and pre-populate your bet slips. This process occurs entirely on your device, and we do not transmit the list of your installed applications to our servers.

6. What We Do Not Collect

We are committed to minimizing data collection. SquadSlips strictly does not collect or utilize the following:

• Real names, email addresses, or phone numbers.
• GPS or precise location data.
• Financial information, payment details, or real money transactions.
• Third party advertising trackers.
• Crash reporting or behavioral analytics software.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as we add new features or comply with legal requirements. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the effective date at the top of this document.
