Privacy Policy

“Maidan,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the team operating the Maidan mobile application and the website at maidan-app.com. If you have a question about this policy or about your data, email info@maidan-app.com.

You create a Maidan account with your phone number. To confirm the number is yours, we send a one-time code to it over WhatsApp, which you enter once during sign-up. After that, you log in with your phone number and a password you set. If you forget your password, the reset code is also sent over WhatsApp.

Email is optional. You can add an email address to your profile as a contact detail, but it is not used to sign in.

We collect the information you give us to set up and use your account:

• Account details. Your phone number, full name, city, and playing position.
• Optional profile details. Email address, date of birth, profile photo, short bio, height, and weight — only if you choose to add them.
• Teams. The teams you create, join, or captain, and your role on each.
• Match and stats data. Results of matches you play or score — goals, cards, and other events — and the player and team statistics built from them.
• Support messages. If you contact us, we keep your message so we can reply.

We do not collect precise GPS location, government identity numbers, payment-card numbers, or biometric data, and we do not read your contacts, messages, or media library.

We use the information above to:

• Create your account, verify your phone number, and keep you signed in.
• Run the core product — teams and rosters, matchmaking and challenges between teams, court discovery and booking, live scoring, and player and team statistics.
• Show your profile and stats to other players according to your privacy settings (see below).
• Send you notifications about challenges, invites, and bookings.
• Diagnose crashes and fix bugs so the app stays reliable.

We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

Maidan is a social app, so some of your profile is visible to other players by default. You control how much:

• Profile visibility. Choose who can see your profile — anyone on Maidan, only your teammates, or only you.
• Per-field toggles. Separately choose whether to show your phone number, your date of birth, and your match stats on your profile.

Your password is never shown to anyone. You can change these settings at any time in the app.

Profile photos and team photos are uploaded by you and stored in our file storage (Supabase). If you remove a photo or delete your account, the photo is removed from your profile.

To run Maidan we use a small number of infrastructure providers. They process data on our behalf, only for the purposes below:

• Supabase — hosts our database, handles account authentication, and stores uploaded photos.
• Twilio — delivers the WhatsApp verification and password-reset codes to your phone number.
• Firebase (Google) — delivers push notifications and receives crash reports from the app.

These providers operate on global cloud infrastructure, which may store and process data in countries other than your own.

You can delete your account at any time from inside the app, under Settings → Delete Account. Deleting your account removes your account data. Some match records may remain visible to the other players and teams involved, and we may keep limited records where the law requires it.

We keep your account and profile data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, we delete your account data, subject to the narrow exceptions described above.

We protect your information with standard safeguards, including encryption in transit (TLS) and scoped access to our database. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your data safe and will act promptly if we ever become aware of a problem that affects it.

Maidan is not directed at children under 13. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13 without a parent’s consent, we will delete it.

We may update this policy as the app evolves. When we make a material change, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Continuing to use Maidan after a change means you accept the revised policy.
