Non-registered users are able to access only that portion of SportSociety that is publicly available. They will not have a Profile. The extent of registered users’ access to SportSociety will depend on certain criteria relating to their Profile being met. We may change or update the criteria from time to time without prior notice and at our discretion.
5. Termination of use by you
They say that you can have too much of a good thing... what do I do if I want to “unregister” myself from SportSociety?
If you have registered on SportSociety, you can terminate your registration at any time by going to the ‘Settings’ control on SportSociety when you are logged in and choosing the ‘delete profile’ link.
We save your profile information in case you later decide to restore your account. Many users deactivate their accounts for temporary reasons and in doing so expect us to maintain their information until they return to SportSociety. You will therefore be able to restore your account and your profile in its entirety within 28 days of de-activating it. Once your registration is terminated, we have the right to delete any related Content that you have submitted or uploaded on to SportSociety. For further details, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Content that you have uploaded to SportSociety, other than your Profile (such as comments or email messages), may still appear on SportSociety following termination of your registration.

Geographical positions and Crossing points with Societies (public).
As following the law: Beginning April 1, 2022, all apps must also post a privacy policy in the Google Play Console and within the app itself.
The Application’s main value and purpose is to allow Members to find Societies that can be interesting to them depending on the amount of player at each of them. We provide real time real data of players in your city so users can make their decisions.
We believe this to be extremely beneficial for our users, and its a our core purpose to provide this information.
Is for this reason we ask for location while using the app and location in the background to provide this usefully information for our users.
Without the use of Background location our App will not have the same value or/and experience for the user.
Your Geographical position is collected with your express consent only. In fact, you will be asked to authorize the collection and processing of your location data to allow SportSociety to identify your crossing points with Societies.
Unless you have chosen stricter settings on your device, SportSociety will collect your Geographical position regularly.
When the Geographical positions of Members and Societies cross within a certain radius SportSociety will show you as an active user of the Society.
The Society will be displayed the number of Members of the app who are within the range of the Society.
Nevertheless, members with whom you cross paths or any other user can never see your exact location.
The information shown in the societies will be shown as a number and never as individual person location.
During your registration, if you do not provide your consent for geolocation, you must provide the name of your city. This information will enable SportSociety to suggest Societies near you.
These Societies points can be displayed as icons and points on the Map (Mapping).
You may, at any time, withdraw your consent by disabling geolocation on your smartphone. If you choose to do so, your news feed will no longer be updated, and you will not be able to see your presence at the Societies with after disabling the geolocation option. When you have no more Societies in your Map, we will ask you the name of your city in order to suggest new Societies profiles near you.
You can also ask that your profile are no longer displayed on the Map (Mapping). In this case, you will not appear in the Societies. And we will not be able to provide this information to other users who might be willing to know how many players are at each location.
For this, go to the application and click on " Configuration ” then go to the bottom of your screen and disable the option “Share my Location in the background”.
Is imperative to understand that:
-
The request location permissions from users is not use for the sole purpose of advertising or analytics.

We want everyone to enjoy their journey on SportSociety, and to use our platform safely and responsibly. Millions of people around the world rely on us to maintain a secure and trustworthy space to make connections.
