• in aggregated or de-identified form for reporting, analytics, product improvement, or operational insights.

6. Cross-Border Processing

Our website, systems, or service providers may process or store personal information outside South Africa.

Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place and that your personal information continues to receive an adequate level of protection in line with applicable law.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

These measures may include encrypted connections, secure password handling, access controls, restricted administrative access, and monitoring for abuse or unauthorised activity.

No method of transmission over the internet or method of storage is completely secure, but we take appropriate steps to reduce risk and protect the information we hold.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• provide the platform and related services;
• maintain club, league, scoring, and competition records;
• comply with legal, tax, regulatory, or reporting obligations;

• enforce our terms; and
• detect or prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents.

When personal information is no longer required for a lawful purpose, we will delete, destroy, or de-identify it where reasonably practicable.

Where we send direct marketing by email, SMS, WhatsApp, or similar electronic communication, we will do so only where permitted by applicable law.
