This Privacy Policy describes the policies of SecurTapp LLC, doing business as ih8tc ("ih8tc", "we", "us" or "our") as they apply to the following services operated by ih8tc (collectively, the "Service"):

  • ih8tc.securt.co and other websites owned and/or operated by ih8tc that contain a link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Site");
  • All mobile applications that contain a link to this Privacy Policy (the "ih8tc Apps"); and
  • All services made available by ih8tc through the Site and the ih8tc Apps, in addition to email communications made outside of the Site or ih8tc App, collectively, the "Service".

This Privacy Policy explains what Personal Data (defined below) we collect, how we use and share Personal Data, and your choices concerning our Personal Data practices. We employ a number of technical, organisational and physical safeguards that are designed to protect the Personal Data we collect. However, security risk is inherent in all internet and information technologies and we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data. Please read this Privacy Policy before using our Service or submitting any Personal Data to ih8tc and contact us if you have any questions.

Information We Collect

When you contact us or interact with our Service, we collect information about you (including that which otherwise constitutes 'personal data' or similarly defined term under applicable laws) ("Personal Data") as follows:

  • Personal Data You Provide to Us: We collect Personal Data when you sign up for our Service via the Site or an ih8tc App. The Personal Data collected during these interactions may vary based on what you choose to share with us, but it may include any of the following:

    • Account Data: When you sign up, some information is required to create an account on our Service, such as your name, email address, age, sex, sports, and self-reported skill level.
    • Payment Data: If you choose to purchase a subscription to our Service via credit card, debit card or other payment method, our third-party payments processor (Stripe) will collect and process certain payment and billing information, such as billing postcode, payment card details and authentication features, on behalf of ih8tc. That information is collected by our payment processor directly, and we do not collect or store it. If you have any questions about how Stripe protects such information, please read Stripe's services agreement and privacy policy.
    • Social Media Data: We may operate pages ("Social Media Pages") on social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter) (each a "Social Media Site"). The platforms that host our Social Media Pages may provide us with aggregate information and analytics regarding the use of our Social Media Pages. Additionally, should you choose to interact with any of our Social Media Pages, we may collect Personal Data that you provide or make available via our Social Media Pages.
    • User-Generated Content: User-generated content, such as profile photos, profile bios, chat messages, group session descriptions, court submissions, and other content or information that you generate, transmit or otherwise make available on the Service, as well as associated metadata. Metadata includes information about how, when, where and by whom a piece of content was collected and how that content has been formatted or edited.
    • Contacts Book Data: Our mobile applications may allow you to synchronise the numbers in your Contacts address book on a regular basis in order to identify any friends and/or relatives who use the Service. If any of your contacts are using the Service, we will let you know so that you can connect with them. You can revoke our access to your Contacts address book at any time via your mobile device settings.
    • Additional Information: To customize your experience or enable certain features of the Service, you may choose to provide us with additional information, such as your date of birth, profile picture, location, favourite courts, and preferred playing partners.
    • Sensitive Personal Data: In the course of using the Service on our App, you may choose to allow us to collect sensitive Personal Data about you, such as your precise geolocation, by turning on location services on your mobile device, which may be considered 'sensitive personal information' (or a similarly defined term) under certain applicable laws. Turning on location services on your mobile device constitutes consent for us to collect your precise geolocation. You can disallow our collection of precise geolocation data by turning off location services on your mobile device at any time. You may also choose to share other sensitive Personal Data via the content you share on our Service, for example, when sending a chat message, or otherwise sharing information through our App. By sharing this information, you consent to the collection of this sensitive Personal Data. You may limit the visibility of such sensitive Personal Data via Privacy Settings in the app. We do not process sensitive Personal Data for purposes other than providing the Services.

  • Personal Data We Generate From Your Use of Our Service: When you visit, use, interact and register with the Service, we may automatically generate certain information about your visit, use, interactions or registration. For example, we may monitor the number of people that visit our Site or ih8tc Apps, peak hours of visits, which page(s) are visited on our Site or ih8tc Apps, the domains our visitors come from, and which browsers people use to access and visit our Site, broad geographical information, and Site- and ih8tc App-navigation pattern. In particular, the following information is created and automatically logged in our systems:

    • Log Data: Information that your browser automatically sends whenever you visit the Site or ih8tc Apps. Log data includes your IP address (so we understand which country you are connecting from when you visit the Site or ih8tc Apps), browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, and how you interacted with the Site or ih8tc Apps.
    • Cookies Data: We use cookies and similar technologies to operate and administer our Site and ih8tc Apps, make it easier for you to use the Site and ih8tc Apps during future visits, and gather usage data on our Site and ih8tc Apps.
    • Device Data: Includes the model of the device, operating system, and browser you are using. Information collected may depend on the type of device you use and its settings.
    • Usage and Activity Data: We collect information about how you use our Site and ih8tc Apps, such as the types of content that you view or engage with, the features you use, the actions you take, and the time, frequency and duration of your activities on the Service.
    • Geolocation Data: If you have enabled location services for an ih8tc App on your mobile device or on your computer via the Site, we may collect your geolocation information based on IP address, city, county, postcode, country, latitude and longitude. ih8tc may also derive your approximate location from the IP address of your computer or mobile device. Geolocation data is used for purposes of directing you to nearby courts, sessions, and players and offering other relevant content and services. We do not process Geolocation Data unless you grant permission through your device or browser.
    • Inferences about You. We may combine the information we collect and otherwise generate or draw inferences about your preferences and interests in order to provide and personalise our Service to you, such as court suggestions, session recommendations, and matchmaking.

  • Personal Data We Receive From Third Parties. If you elect to authenticate to our Service using your account on another service (such as a Google or Apple account), we may receive from the other service information such as your external account name as well as other information you may choose to make available to us based on your external account settings, such as profile photos (if any). You can stop sharing the information from the other service with us by removing our access to that other service. We may also obtain your Personal Data from service providers or vendors as well as other business partners.
