Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 1, 2026  ·  Last Updated: July 29, 2026

Mat Bracket Challenge LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates Mat Bracket Challenge. This policy explains what we collect, how we use and share it, and your choices. It applies to our website and mobile apps.

1. Information we collect

You provide:

Collected automatically:

From third parties:

Generated by the Service:

2. How we use your information

To operate and provide the Service; authenticate you; process payments and unlock paid features; administer contests, leaderboards, pools, and RTP/entitlements; deliver push notifications; send account and (subject to your choices) marketing emails; moderate content and enforce our Terms; detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and security incidents; produce aggregate geolocation/usage analytics; and comply with legal obligations.

3. What’s public vs. group-visible vs. private

4. Payments

Web payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers. Stripe’s handling of payment data is governed by Stripe’s own privacy policy. In-app purchases are billed by Apple or Google under their policies, and we use RevenueCat to validate receipts and manage purchase/subscription status, restoration, and renewals for the app.

5. Service providers & data sources

We share limited information only with providers that help us run the Service:

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Contest scoring may use manually entered data and authorized third-party roster, schedule, and results sources, which may include TrackWrestling when available; we do not send your personal data to those sports-data sources.

Crash & diagnostic reporting. Our website and mobile apps use Sentry to detect crashes and technical errors and improve reliability. When an error occurs, we may send the app version, device and operating-system type, the time of the error, a crash/stack trace, and a limited set of technical events leading up to it. We do not intentionally attach your account identity, cookies, request bodies, or URL query strings, and we configure Sentry to limit and scrub such information; we do not use it for advertising or tracking. Sentry processes this information on our behalf as a service provider, and we retain it only as long as reasonably necessary to investigate and fix reliability problems.

6. Marketing emails

By creating an account you agree we may send account/service emails (e.g., season or tournament announcements). Marketing emails include an unsubscribe link and our postal address. We do not sell your email. You may opt out of non-essential email anytime.

7. Cookies & local storage

We use only strictly-necessary cookies and local storage — for sign-in/session, your theme choice, and app-mode. We do not use third-party advertising or analytics trackers.

8. International users & data transfers

We operate globally, and our providers process data in the United States and elsewhere. If you access the Service from the EU/UK or California, additional rights may apply (§9).

9. Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data, to opt out of marketing email and push, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can manage notification preferences on your profile, unsubscribe from emails, and request access or deletion by emailing support@matbracketchallenge.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting. EU/UK (GDPR) and California (CCPA/CPRA) residents have additional statutory rights.

Deleting your account. You can delete your account in the app or on the website viaProfile → Delete Account (details at /account-deletion). Deletion disables your login and removes or anonymizes your profile information, and deletes your chat messages, reactions, push tokens, and notification preferences. To keep leaderboards, leagues, and archives coherent, past contest records are retained in de-identified form (no longer publicly associated with your identity). We may also retain payment/tax, fraud/security, moderation, and legal records for appropriate periods, and isolated backups until their normal expiration. If you use Sign in with Apple, we revoke your Apple authorization as part of deletion. Deleting your account does notautomatically cancel an Apple or Google subscription — cancel that in your store account settings.

10. Children’s privacy (COPPA)

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 may not register or use it. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us information, contact support@matbracketchallenge.com and we will promptly delete it.

11. Data retention

We retain information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, then delete or de-identify it, except where longer retention is required for payment/tax records, transaction/RTP ledger entries, contest results, moderation or security evidence, legal compliance, or backups (which expire on our normal backup cycle).

12. Data security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy; changes are posted here with a new effective date.
