Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

Players Collect ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your personal information when you use our service. Please read it carefully.

1. Information We Collect

Players Collect ("we", "our", or "us") collects information you provide directly and information collected automatically when you use our service. This includes: • Account information: email address and display name provided at registration. • Usage data: interactions with player profiles, portfolio items, collections, and browsing behavior within the app. • Device data: browser type, operating system, IP address, and referring URLs collected automatically. • Search and interest data: player searches, sport preferences, and content categories you engage with.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to: • Display player scores, market data, collectibles, and related content. • Personalize your portfolio, watchlist, and feed. • Operate affiliate links and earn commissions from partner marketplaces. • Communicate with you about product updates, security notices, and support. • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse. • Comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the service and analyze usage. These include: • Essential cookies: required for authentication and session management. • Preference cookies: remember your filter selections and UI state. • Analytics cookies: aggregate, anonymized data about how users navigate the app. • Affiliate tracking: when you click a product link to a partner marketplace (such as eBay), tracking parameters may be set to credit referrals. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies will impair core functionality.

4. Affiliate Links & Third-Party Marketplaces

Players Collect participates in affiliate programs, including the eBay Partner Network. When you click an affiliate link on our service and make a purchase on a third-party marketplace, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These third-party marketplaces (including eBay, Fanatics, StockX, and others) have their own privacy policies and data practices. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing them with any personal information.

5. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We may share your information with: • Service providers: trusted vendors who assist with hosting, analytics, email delivery, and data storage, bound by confidentiality agreements. • Affiliate partners: marketplaces and retailers whose products we feature, for the purpose of tracking referrals and commissions. • Public data sources: we retrieve sports statistics, news, and market data from third-party APIs to enrich player profiles. • Legal authorities: when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of users. We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers.

6. eBay & Marketplace Data

As a participant in the eBay Partner Network and other affiliate programs, we may display product listings, pricing, and availability data sourced from those marketplaces. This data is provided for informational purposes and may not always reflect current availability or pricing on the marketplace itself. When you interact with eBay or other marketplace listings through our affiliate links, your interactions are governed by that marketplace's terms of service and privacy policy.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time. Aggregated, anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data: • Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. • Correction: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data. • Deletion: request erasure of your personal data. • Portability: request your data in a structured, machine-readable format. • Objection: object to certain types of processing. • Withdrawal of consent: where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@playersinvest.com.

9. Account Deletion

If you would like to request deletion of your account and associated personal data, you may contact us at privacy@playersinvest.com with the subject line "Account Deletion Request." We will process your request within 30 days and confirm once your data has been removed, subject to any legal retention requirements.

10. Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children's Privacy

Players Collect is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

12. 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 the page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or an in-app notice. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
