1. Introduction
Verity Business Enterprise ("we", "us", or "our") operates Verity ScoutHub, a social platform for football talent discovery. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you use our mobile application and related services (the "Service").
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
2. Information we collect
Account information: name, email address, username, password (stored in hashed form), phone number (if provided), profile photo, biography, location, date of birth (if provided), and role selections (for example athlete, scout, club, academy, or agent).
Football profile information: position, club or academy affiliation, statistics, achievements, and other sporting details you choose to add to your profile.
Content you upload: photos, videos, posts, stories, achievements, and other media you publish on the Service. Media files are stored on secure cloud infrastructure.
Usage and device information: app interactions, feature usage, crash diagnostics, device type, operating system, and general technical logs needed to operate and secure the Service.
Communications: messages you send through the Service, support requests, and email verification or account-related messages we send to you.
Third-party sign-in: if you sign in with Google, we receive information made available by Google according to your Google account settings (such as email address and display name).
3. How we use your information
Provide and maintain the Service, including account creation, authentication, profile display, content publishing, discovery, and notifications.
Personalize your experience, including showing relevant posts, profiles, and discovery results.
Communicate with you about verification, security, service updates, and support.
Enforce our Terms of Service, protect users, prevent fraud and abuse, and comply with legal obligations.
Improve reliability, performance, and safety through analytics, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
4. How we share information
Public profile and content: information you publish on the Service (such as posts, videos, and public profile fields) may be visible to other users according to your privacy settings.
Service providers: we use trusted providers for hosting, email delivery, media storage, analytics, and security. These providers process data only to perform services on our behalf.
Legal and safety: we may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or when necessary to protect the rights, safety, and security of users, the public, or our Service.
Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Privacy Policy.
We do not sell your personal information.
5. Privacy settings and scout reports
You can control certain profile visibility settings within the app. Some information may remain visible where needed for core platform functionality (for example your username on content you publish).
Scout reports and private notes created by scouts are intended to remain private to the scout who created them unless you explicitly choose to share them or applicable law requires disclosure.
6. Data retention
We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
When you delete your account, we deactivate access immediately and run an erasure process that removes or anonymizes profile data, social connections, messages you sent, uploaded media files, role profiles, and authentication credentials.
Some security, fraud-prevention, and billing records may be retained for a limited period where required by law or legitimate business needs, as described in this policy.
7. Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and secure cloud storage for media.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Please use a strong password and keep your login credentials confidential.
8. Children and minors
The Service is designed for football talent discovery and may be used by athletes under 18 with appropriate consent.
If you are under the age required in your country to consent to online services, you may use the Service only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
If you believe a child has provided personal information without required consent, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
9. International users
The Service may be accessed from multiple countries. Your information may be processed in locations where we or our service providers operate.
Where applicable, we take steps intended to comply with relevant data protection laws.
10. Your rights and choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information, or to object to certain processing.
