SimSportsNet Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how SimSportsNet (“SimSportsNet”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information about you when you use our website and related services (the “Service”).

Profile details (such as preferred game, region, social links, bio)
Team and league information you create or manage
Communications you send to us (support messages, feedback, etc.)

1.2 Phone Numbers and SMS

If you choose to provide your mobile phone number and opt in to SMS notifications, we will store that number and your consent state for the purpose of sending SimSportsNet-related messages (for example, team invites, roster changes, and match reminders).

We use phone numbers only to provide SimSportsNet-related services as described on our SMS messaging pages. We do not sell users’ phone numbers.

When you access or use SimSportsNet, we may automatically collect:

Log data (IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, timestamps)
Cookies or similar technologies to remember preferences and improve the Service
Aggregate statistics about how features are used (for example, number of teams created)

Create and maintain your SimSportsNet account
Allow you to join, manage, and participate in teams and leagues
Send transactional emails and in-app notifications (for example, team invites, results)
Send SMS messages if you have explicitly opted in

Important account or security alerts

You can opt out of SMS at any time by replying STOP to a message or by updating your notification settings inside your account. Message and data rates may apply.

Most web browsers allow you to control or disable cookies, but this may impact certain features of the Service.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information in the following situations:

Service providers: With trusted third parties that help us operate the Service (for example, hosting, analytics, or SMS delivery providers), subject to appropriate safeguards.
Team & league context: Your username, profile, and relevant game stats may be visible to other users as part of teams, leagues, or public competition pages.
Legal requirements: When we believe disclosure is required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of SimSportsNet, our users, or others.

5. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We may anonymize or aggregate data so it can no longer reasonably be linked to an individual user.

6.3 Deleting Your Account

If you would like to request deletion of your account, please contact us using the information below. Some data may be retained for a limited period where required by law or for legitimate business purposes (for example, maintaining league statistics).

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children’s Privacy

SimSportsNet is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information in violation of this Policy, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
