Privacy Policy

Published on:

Effective Date: July 24, 2025

1. Introduction

FanYield is a sports entertainment platform where sports fans ("User" or "You") can collect professional athlete collectibles, participate in fantasy sports experiences, and trade digital collectibles. The platform provides a marketplace for registered users to acquire, hold, and exchange collectibles (the "Services").

We respect your privacy and are committed to providing a safe environment for our Users. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how and why your data may be collected and processed by FanYield ("We," "Us," or "FanYield"). All Personal Data (as defined below) is handled in accordance with applicable laws, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant regulations. This Policy is part of the Terms and Conditions. Terms not defined here carry the meaning from the Terms and Conditions.

2. Data Collected and Purposes

We collect and process a limited amount of Personal Data to enable access to our Services, improve the user experience, maintain platform security, and provide support. We only collect what is necessary for these purposes.

Google and Apple Login

If you choose to log in via Google or Apple, we process the data you consent to share during login. This may include:

  • First and last name – to personalize your account
  • Email address – to manage your account and communicate with you

This data is processed with your consent and retained only for as long as necessary to provide the Services or fulfill legal obligations.

Access to and Use of Services

To enable platform functionality such as managing your account and facilitating transactions, we process relevant user data.

For example:

  • To enable collectible purchases, we integrate with Stripe, a third-party payment processor. All sensitive payment information (such as credit card details or full payment identifiers) is handled directly by Stripe and never stored or accessed by FanYield. We may store limited metadata returned from Stripe (e.g., transaction ID, payment status, last 4 digits of the card) to confirm transaction completion and support your access to purchased digital content.
  • To support user interactions within the platform, we may collect your username, email address, and basic account preferences.

The legal basis for this processing is the fulfillment of a contract — this information is necessary to provide the Services you signed up for.

Compliance and Security

To help maintain the security and integrity of our Services, we collect data such as device type, IP address, browsing behavior, and activity logs. In cases of suspected fraud or abuse, we may request additional information or temporarily restrict access.

This is based on our legitimate interest in protecting the platform and its users.

User Support and Communication

When you reach out for assistance, we process your contact information (e.g., email, username) and the content of your support request to resolve your issue.

This processing is necessary to fulfill our Service obligations to you.

3. Data Retention

  • Account-related data is retained for the duration of your account’s existence. We may retain certain information for a longer period if required by law.
  • Analytical data used for aggregate reporting is anonymized and deleted after the analysis is complete.
  • Security-related data (e.g., for fraud prevention) is retained for up to 3 years.

4. Service Providers and Data Transfer

We use third-party providers for platform operation, analytics, hosting, and payment processing. For payments, we use Stripe to ensure secure transactions. Where data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we apply appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

5. Use by Children

FanYield is intended only for individuals aged 17 and over.

6. Your Rights

You may request:

  • Access to your personal data
  • Correction of incorrect data
  • Data portability
  • Erasure or restriction of your data
  • Instruction for how your data should be handled after your death

Please contact [email protected] to exercise your rights.

7. Cookies

We use cookies to operate and improve the website. Details are available in our separate Cookie Policy.

8. Security

We apply technical and organizational measures to protect your data. We encourage the use of strong passwords and password managers for your own account security.

9. Changes to the Policy

This Policy may be updated periodically. Material changes will be communicated through the platform or by email.

10. Jurisdiction and Applicable Law

This Policy is governed by the laws of the Czech Republic and the European Union.

11. No Gambling or Real-Money Wagering

FanYield does not offer or support any form of gambling, betting, or real-money wagering. Users cannot deposit funds for the purpose of betting or receive payouts based on game outcomes. All platform features are intended for entertainment and collection purposes only.
