Authentication
Account creation and sign-in are handled by a third-party authentication provider. This provider securely processes your email/password credentials or social login tokens on our behalf. We do not store raw passwords.
The authentication provider may collect and process your email address, authentication tokens, device identifiers, and session metadata solely to maintain secure access to your account.
We receive from this provider only the information necessary to identify you within our platform: your user ID, email, and any profile fields you provide during sign-up.
Real-Time Data Storage
PBP Network uses a cloud-based backend database and real-time sync service. All application data — including your profile, team memberships, game scores, and statistics — is stored and synced in real time across your devices.
This infrastructure operates with encrypted data at rest and in transit. Your data is logically isolated and is not accessible to other applications or customers on the same platform.
Live Streaming & Third-Party Platforms
Live game streaming is powered by a third-party video infrastructure provider. When you initiate or join a live stream, this provider handles video/audio transmission, session tokens, and connection metadata necessary to route and optimize your stream.
PBP Network allows you to broadcast games to third-party platforms including YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and Facebook. When you stream to these platforms, your content and any data those platforms collect from viewers are subject to the respective platform's privacy policy. We do not control and are not responsible for data collected by those platforms.
We store only metadata about your streaming sessions (game association, start/end time, viewer counts) for display in the app and for your personal records.
How We Use Your Information
- Provide, operate, and improve the PBP Network app and its features
- Create and manage your account and player profile
- Display your game statistics, leaderboards, and team information
- Enable live scoring, streaming, and real-time game updates
- Send transactional notifications (game reminders, score updates) if you opt in
- Diagnose bugs, monitor app performance, and ensure security
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data to serve targeted advertising.
Data Retention
We retain your account and profile data for as long as your account is active. Gameplay statistics and historical data are retained indefinitely to preserve your season records and career stats, unless you request deletion.
If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information from active databases within 30 days. Anonymized or aggregated statistical data (e.g., league-wide averages) may be retained for analytical purposes after account deletion.
Logs and diagnostic data are retained for up to 90 days and then deleted automatically.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS), encrypted data at rest, access controls, and secure third-party infrastructure for authentication and data storage.
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the app at your own risk. Please protect your account credentials and report any suspected unauthorized access to us immediately.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you via the app or by email. The updated policy will be posted with a revised "Last Updated" date.
