Poolshot GO Privacy Policy

1 What These Terms Mean

Throughout this policy, the following definitions apply:

Application

Poolshot GO, the mobile software and related services we provide.

Company

The operator of Poolshot GO (referred to as "we", "us", or "our").

Personal Information

Information that identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you.

Usage Data

Technical and behavioral data generated when you use the Application.

Device

Any smartphone, tablet, or computer you use to access Poolshot GO.

Service Provider

A third party that processes data on our behalf under contract.

Account

A profile you create to access features, progress, and rewards in the Application.

2 What Data We Gather

We collect two categories of data: information generated automatically when you play, and information you choose to provide.

Automatic collection

When you open Poolshot GO, our systems automatically record technical data, including:

• IP address and approximate geographic region
• Device manufacturer, model, operating system, and language settings
• Advertising identifiers (GAID on Android, IDFA on iOS where permitted)
• Session length, feature usage, and in-app navigation patterns
• Crash reports, performance logs, and diagnostic metadata
• Screen resolution and network connection type

Information you provide

3 Why We Need Your Data

Your data powers core functions (gameplay, accounts, payments), communications (updates, support), and improvements (analytics, feature development). Specifically, we use personal information to:

1. Run Poolshot GO, including matchmaking, scores, and cloud save features
2. Register, authenticate, and maintain your Account
3. Process PayPal withdrawals you initiate
4. Send service notices, security alerts, and support replies
5. Measure aggregated usage to improve stability and design
6. Deliver and measure advertising that supports the free app
7. Support mergers, acquisitions, or other business transitions
8. Meet legal, tax, and regulatory obligations

4 When We Share

We're selective about sharing. Data sharing is limited to operational necessities — not sold to random third parties for unrelated marketing. We may disclose personal information when:

• Service providers host infrastructure, analytics, customer support, or payment processing under strict contracts
• Business transfers occur (merger, acquisition, or asset sale), subject to continued protection
• Affiliates under common control agree to this policy's standards
• Business partners co-deliver promotions you opt into
• Public features display information you choose to share (e.g., leaderboards)
• Law and safety require disclosure to authorities or to protect users and the public
• You consent to a specific additional use

5 Data Security

We apply industry-standard safeguards, including:

• Encryption in transit: TLS 1.2 or higher for connections to our servers and partners
• Access controls: Role-based permissions; only authorized staff access personal data
• Vendor requirements: Service providers must maintain equivalent security under DPAs
• Monitoring: Periodic reviews, vulnerability testing, and incident response procedures

6 App Permissions

7 Analytics & Endpoints

Poolshot GO communicates with the following primary endpoint:

Component	Endpoint	Description
Backend & analytics	https://bfoup.poolsogo.com	Gameplay sessions, configuration, and anonymized usage metrics

Endpoint security

• TLS 1.2+ on all API traffic
• Role-based access control on server operations
• Data minimization — only fields needed for the feature are sent

• Advertising IDs (resettable in device settings)
• Device type, OS version, and screen size
• Session frequency and ad interaction events
• Country and language (non-precise location)

We do not share with ad partners: email, phone numbers, passwords, detailed gameplay logs, user-generated content, or precise GPS location.

9 Opting Out

Personalized advertising

Do Not Sell / Share

California and similar laws: email nizerashikhi@gmail.com with subject line "Do Not Sell" to opt out of sale or sharing of personal information.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Poolshot GO does not currently respond to DNT headers because no industry standard exists for mobile apps; you can use the device and email opt-out options above instead.

Automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

10 International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than where you live. We protect cross-border transfers using TLS 1.2+, contractual safeguards (including Standard Contractual Clauses where required), and vendors in jurisdictions with adequate protections where feasible.

11 What Can You Do About Your Data?

Depending on where you live, you may have the rights below. Contact nizerashikhi@gmail.com to exercise them. We may verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

California Shine the Light: California residents may request information about disclosure of personal information to third parties for direct marketing once per calendar year via the contact email above.

12 Disclosure Requirements

We may disclose personal information when required for business transactions (merger or acquisition), valid law-enforcement or regulatory requests, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Poolshot GO, our users, or the public.

13 Data Retention

Retention follows the principle of necessity. We keep personal information only while your Account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with law, or resolve disputes. After 90 consecutive days of inactivity, we delete personal data associated with your Account unless a longer period is required by law. Usage data may be anonymized and retained for analytics.

14 Data Breach Notification

If a security incident compromises your personal information, we will investigate promptly, mitigate harm, and notify affected users and regulators as required by applicable law — typically within 72 hours where GDPR applies, and without unreasonable delay under other frameworks.

15 Keeping Kids Safe

Poolshot GO is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact nizerashikhi@gmail.com and we will delete it promptly.

16 Third-Party Links

The app may link to external sites or services (including ad landing pages). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before sharing information.

17 Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top will change, and material updates may be announced in-app or by other reasonable means before they take effect. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
