This Privacy Policy explains what information Aikon Sports, Inc. ("Aikon," "we," "us," or "our") collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It covers the Aikon mobile app and the website at aikonsports.com (together, the "Service"). Aikon is a training and community app for basketball players: a daily workout, a way to find other players, and a map to find where people are playing. Please read this together with our Terms of Service.
Aikon is currently offered only to users in the United States.
Here is the whole policy in a few lines. The sections below give the detail.
To keep this short, a few terms are used throughout. "Service" means the Aikon app and website. "You" means the person using the Service. "Content" means anything you submit, such as a username, a report, or a bug report. "Precise location" means GPS level location from your device. "Minor" means a user under 18.
In short: what you give us at signup, what the app records as you use it, and your location when you use location features.
Information you give us. Your email address, a password (stored only in secure hashed form by our authentication provider, never in plain text), your date of birth, your username, and your display name.
Information the app creates as you use it. Your friend connections, your presence at a gym (subject to your privacy setting), records of any users you block or report, and progress information such as your XP and rank.
Information you submit. Bug reports (a category, a description, and basic app context such as the screen and app version) and reports you file about other users for safety reasons.
Location information. When you use the map or check in at a gym, the app reads your device's precise location to measure how close you are to a gym or court. See Section 3 for exactly how this works.
What we do not collect. We do not collect health or fitness measurements such as heart rate, reps, or performance stats, only your XP and rank. We do not currently use third party analytics or advertising tracking software in the app. If we add any third party service in the future, we will name it here and give notice as described in Section 11.
Cookies and tracking. Our website uses only essential cookies needed for it to function. We do not use tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies. Because we do not track visitors across websites or over time, our website does not respond differently to browser "Do Not Track" signals, no visitor is tracked either way.
In short: to run the app, keep it safe, and communicate with you. We never use it for targeted advertising.
In short: precise location is used only while you are in the app, only to check your distance to a gym, and we keep only your check in history, not a trail of where you go.
Location is the most sensitive data we handle, so here is exactly how it works:
In short: you must be 13 to use Aikon, users 13 to 17 confirm that a parent has approved their use, and everyone under 18 is private by default.
You must be at least 13. Aikon is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If we learn that we have, we will delete it and close the account.
Users 13 to 17. At signup, users age 13 to 17 are asked to confirm that a parent or legal guardian is aware of and has approved their use of Aikon. We use the date of birth you provide, and on supported devices Apple's Declared Age Range signal, to identify users under 18. To protect them, minors are automatically set to private, never appear in player discovery, and never appear on the map to any other user, a minor's check in is reflected only in a gym's anonymous total player count.
No selling, no targeted ads for minors. We never sell a minor's information and never use it for targeted advertising. Parents or guardians with questions about their child's information can contact us using Section 12.
In short: we do not sell it, and we share it only with the vendors that run the app, other users per your settings, and where the law requires.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not show targeted advertising. We do not currently show any ads at all. If we ever introduce ads in the future, they will be general, non-targeted ads, never ads based on your personal information.
Service providers that help us run the Service, only so they can do their job:
Other users. Depending on your privacy setting, other users may see your username, display name, and presence at a gym. Users under 18 are never shown.
Legal and safety. We may disclose information if the law requires it, to respond to legal process, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of our users, the public, or Aikon.
Business transfers. If Aikon is part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may transfer as part of it, and we will notify you of any change.
In short: while your account is active, and then it is deleted after a 30 day grace period.
In short: you can see, correct, export, and delete your data, control location, and turn off marketing email.
In short: depending on your state, you have added rights, and we honor them for all U.S. users.
Residents of states with privacy laws (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Utah, Oregon, and others) have the right to access, correct, delete, and receive a copy of their personal information, and to not be treated differently for using these rights. Because we do not sell personal information and do not use it for targeted advertising, there is nothing to opt out of on that front. To use any of these rights, contact us using Section 12. If we decline a request, you may appeal by replying to our response.
In short: database level access controls, hashed passwords, and location gated behind your device.
We use database level access controls so users can only reach data they are allowed to see. Passwords are hashed by our authentication provider and never stored in plain text. Access to precise location is gated behind your device's permission system. The private status of users under 18 is enforced at the database level, not just in the app design. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and to collect as little as possible.
In short: the United States only.
Aikon is offered only in the United States, and your information is processed in the United States. We do not currently offer the Service to users outside the U.S.
In short: we update the date at the top, and give notice in the app for big changes.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make a material change, for example if we ever introduce advertising or add a third party service, we will update the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, give notice in the Service. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
