This Privacy Policy shall be read in conjunction with our Terms of Service.
We reserve the right to amend, modify or revise portions of this Privacy Policy at any time. If we do so, we will post the changes on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised. Any such changes will take effect from the moment they appear on our website and App. In the event we make material changes, we will notify you either through the Services user interface, in an email notification or through other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Services after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Privacy Policy.
When you interact with our App, we collect information that, alone or in combination with other information, could be used to identify you (“Personal Data”). We only process your personal data to the extent that it is necessary and appropriate to the purposes for which it is collected. We make our best efforts to ensure that your personal data is secure, accurate and, where necessary, updated with regard to the purposes of the processing, taking all reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or correct it in case of inaccuracy. It is your responsibility to update any and all personal identifiable information provided for use of our Services.
You may agree to provide some information to create an account and use our Services. HOFr may process your personal data as follows, in order to fulfill our obligations under our Terms of Services located here, and comply with our legal duties.
When you use our Services, we may request your permission in order to track certain data about your visits to and usage of our Services to improve, customize, and optimize our Services, and comply with our legal obligations. The information (“log data'') is generated automatically by the App and automatically logged in our systems.
We may use this information to analyze trends, gather demographic information about our user base, promote our Services, perform research, provide technical and customer support, inform our product development efforts, comply with our legal obligations, address disputes, and prevent our Services from being used to commit harmful or unlawful activities, including fraud and money laundering. Some of this data may also be collected so that when you use the Services again, we will be able to recognize you and optimize your experience accordingly.
The log data includes your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, geolocation, and how you interacted with the Services.
The Device information includes the type of device you are using, operating system, settings, unique device identifiers, network information and other device-specific information. Information collected may depend on the type of device you use and its settings.
We collect information about how you use our Services, such as the types of content that you view or engage with, the features you use, the actions you take, your money movements (deposits and withdrawals), your winnings, frequency and duration of your activities.
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
Specifically, we use users’ email addresses and Face IDs to authenticate users and grant access to our services. We use Users’ device IDs to notify them when our Contests are available and are about to start or promote our Services. We use birthdates to ensure users are eligible to use the Services. If Users register using their social networking service User ID or connect with their social networking user ID, we use their profile photos to personalize account avatars and we use their social networking service friends lists to personalize Users’ leaderboards. We use users’ credit card information and PayPal ID to complete deposits and withdrawal transactions, and transfer any prize money to them. We retain records of deposits, withdrawals and prizes distributed for the purposes of operating the Services and fraud prevention. This processing is necessary to perform the contract with you. We also store prize winners’ full name, telephone number, mailing address, and, in some circumstances, social security or other government identification numbers so we can comply with our legal and taxation obligations.
Location coordinates are only gathered after the user has agreed to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Users who deny location services will be ineligible to use our Services as verification of location and transaction origination from an eligible state is mandatory.
HOFr detects your device’s approximate location whenever it is turned on (subject to coverage limitations) and connected to our Services. Depending upon your type of device, HOFr may also be able to obtain a wide array of data points to the approximate location of your device. These data services, known as location-based services, are made available to HOFr and others, usually via applications that may be pre-loaded on your device, manually or automatically downloaded from various application stores.
We use information about your location to verify your device is located within an eligible location. If a user’s device is geo-located within a designated ineligible location, the login session may be terminated and contest entry and/or submission will be blocked. HOFr may provide location based-services or provide third parties with access to your approximate location, in order to provide our Services to you. When your device location is requested, you will be given the option to allow the service or deny it.
HOFr follows CTIA’s Best Practices Guidelines for location-based services.
We may share or disclose your Personal Data with selected third parties at your direction, such as when you authorize a third-party service to access your account or when you voluntarily share information or content via the Services.
