Privacy Policy

Understand what account, gameplay, device, and transaction-related data Whistle Sports collects, how it is used, when it is shared, and what controls you have.

Effective May 4, 2026. This Privacy Policy explains how Whistle Sports collects, uses, stores, and discloses information when you browse the website, create an account, top up tokens, place token picks, or interact with public features.

Whistle Sports includes account-based gameplay, public leaderboards, published analysis, and token purchase flows. Some information is public by design, while other information is used only to operate, secure, and improve the service.

Information We Collect

  • Account data such as email address, authentication identifiers, display name, avatar, and account preferences.
  • Gameplay and performance data such as token balances, pick history, slip selections, settlements, rewards, streaks, and leaderboard metrics.
  • Technical and usage data such as IP address, browser and device details, timestamps, referring pages, page views, feature interactions, crash reports, and diagnostic events.
  • Transaction metadata associated with token purchases, such as package selection, checkout session identifiers, payment status, and fraud-prevention signals. Payment card details are typically processed by third-party providers rather than stored directly by Whistle Sports.
  • Communications you send to Whistle Sports, including support requests, bug reports, data requests, or feedback.

How We Use Information

  • To create and manage accounts, authenticate users, process token purchases, record picks, settle outcomes, and show account history.
  • To power public features such as profiles, leaderboards, contributor pages, and other gameplay or content experiences you choose to use.
  • To understand product usage, improve site performance, test new features, measure content engagement, and maintain service quality.
  • To detect fraud, abuse, suspicious activity, and security incidents, and to enforce platform rules and legal obligations.
  • To communicate with you about account activity, service changes, support responses, or other operational notices.

When We Share Information

We may disclose information only as reasonably necessary to operate the service and as described below.

  • With vendors and service providers that help with hosting, authentication, payments, analytics, communications, customer support, data storage, or odds and content operations.
  • With the public when you use features that expose profile information, player performance, pick history, leaderboard placement, author bylines, or other public-facing activity.
  • With professional advisers, law enforcement, regulators, or other parties when required to comply with law, protect rights, investigate misuse, or respond to valid legal process.
  • In connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of some or all of the business or assets.

Cookies, Storage, and Analytics

  • Whistle Sports and its providers may use cookies, local storage, session storage, pixels, or similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember settings, measure usage, and prevent abuse.
  • If you block or clear these technologies, some account, checkout, security, or personalization features may not function correctly.

Public Information

  • Display names, avatars, public player pages, leaderboard statistics, published picks, and similar activity may be visible to other users and may be indexed by search engines when exposed on public pages.
  • Do not include sensitive personal information in fields or submissions that are intended for public display.

Retention and Security

  • Whistle Sports retains information for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain records of token activity and settlements, resolve disputes, investigate abuse, and satisfy legal, accounting, tax, or security obligations.
  • Retention periods vary based on the type of data, the status of your account, and operational necessity.
  • We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, but no method of storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Choices and Privacy Rights

  • You can review or update certain profile details through your account settings and connected profile flows.
  • You can request deletion of eligible account-linked data through the platform's data-deletion process.
  • You can use browser or device controls to limit cookies, local storage, or permission-based features.
  • If applicable law gives you additional rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict personal information, Whistle Sports will evaluate and respond to verified requests consistent with those laws and platform obligations.

Children and Policy Updates

  • Whistle Sports is not directed to children and is not intended for users who are below the legal age to use the service where they live.
  • If we learn that personal information was collected from a person who is not permitted to use the service, we may remove the data and disable the associated account.
  • We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting a revised version on this page. Continued use after the revised version becomes effective is subject to the updated policy.
