Introduction
Gustavo Paixao ("we", "our", "us") operates Palpite PRO, a mobile application and marketing website for sports prediction pools and leagues. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices when you use our apps and related services.
This policy should be read together with our Terms of Service and Cookie Policy. By using Palpite PRO, you acknowledge the practices described here.
Information we collect
Account and profile
- Email address, display name, and authentication data when you sign in with email and password, Google, or Apple.
- OAuth provider identifiers linked to your account (and Facebook if that sign-in option is enabled later).
- Profile photo when you upload an avatar through the app.
App activity
- League and pool membership, invitations, and join activity.
- Match predictions, scores, standings, leaderboards, and trophies.
- Competition-related statistics generated from your participation.
Location (planned)
Location features are not available yet. When implemented, we will collect location only if you grant permission on your device or enter it manually. We will store city and country only — not GPS coordinates, street addresses, or other precise location data.
Device and security
- On production app builds, we may verify app integrity (for example Apple App Attest or Google Play Integrity) to reduce fraud and unauthorized API access.
- IP address and related network metadata for rate limiting, abuse prevention, and security monitoring.
On-device preferences
Language and appearance preferences are stored locally on your device and are not synced to our servers.
Communications
We process email addresses when sending transactional messages such as account verification, password reset, and league or pool invitations.
How we use information
- Create, authenticate, and secure your account.
- Provide leagues, pools, predictions, scoring, and leaderboards.
- Send transactional email related to your account or competitions you join.
- Prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access to our API.
- Maintain and improve service reliability using non-identifying diagnostic data.
- Support planned advertising as described in the Advertising section below.
Advertising (planned)
Advertising is not live in the app today. We plan to introduce ads through Google AdMob, which may show first-party and third-party advertisements.
We do not use your email, display name, predictions, pool or league activity, or other account content to target ads. When location features are available, only non-precise city and country information (if you allow it) may be used to help place relevant ads.
Third-party advertisers and ad networks may collect or receive their own data subject to their policies. See Google's advertising technologies policy at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads. We will update this page when ads go live.
Sharing and service providers
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only as needed to operate the service:
- Mailgun for transactional email.
- Cloudinary for profile photo hosting.
- Google and Apple for sign-in services.
- Google (AdMob, planned) for advertising when that feature launches.
Other members of pools and leagues you join may see your display name, avatar, predictions, and standings according to each competition's rules.
Visibility to other users
Your display name and profile photo may appear on leaderboards, member lists, and competition views visible to other participants. Predictions and standings visibility depends on each pool or league's settings.
If you delete your account through the in-app flow when it becomes available, your display name on historical leaderboards and member views will show as "Deleted user" instead of your previous name.
Retention and account deletion
We retain account and activity data while your account is active and as needed to operate competitions you participate in.
When in-app account deletion becomes available, you will be able to remove your account from the app settings. Account deletion will not be available by email request.
When you delete your account:
- Personal identifiers such as email and OAuth provider IDs will be obfuscated.
- Your profile photo will be cleared from your account.
- Your display name will be replaced with "Deleted user" where it appears to other users.
- De-identified account and activity records may be retained for leaderboard integrity and aggregate statistics.
- Deletion will be permanent and your account cannot be recovered.
Logs and diagnostics
Our server and application logs are designed not to contain personally identifiable information. We do not intentionally log:
- Email addresses or display names.
- Authentication tokens, passwords, or verification codes.
- Full invite email payloads or similar message content.
Logs may include internal user IDs, pool or league IDs, timestamps, error codes, and other technical data needed to diagnose issues and protect the service.
Your rights and choices
- Access and update your display name and profile information in the app where those features are available.
- Delete your account through the in-app flow when it becomes available.
- Choose your language on this marketing website; you can clear site cookies or local storage to reset locale preferences.
- Decline or revoke location permission on your device when location features are offered.
- Contact us with privacy questions using the details below, or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority where applicable law provides that right.
Children
Palpite PRO is not directed at children under 13 years of age (or a higher minimum age where local law requires). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us using the details below.
International data transfers
We are based in Canada. Your information may be processed in Canada and in other countries where our service providers operate, including the United States and the European Union (for example Mailgun, Cloudinary, Google, and Apple). Those providers are used only to deliver the service described in this policy.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy where permitted by law.
