1. Information We Collect

TailgateFans™ collects information to provide and improve our services. This includes:

Account Information: Name, email address, and profile photo when you create an account
Location Data: GPS coordinates to verify your presence at tailgate locations during game days
Photos: Images you upload to earn points, which may be analyzed by our AI to detect tailgate elements
Device Information: Device type, operating system, and app version for troubleshooting
Usage Data: How you interact with the app, including features used and time spent

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

Verify your location at stadiums for earning points
Process and validate tailgate photos using AI detection
Calculate and award points based on your submissions
Enable reward redemptions at sponsor locations
Send notifications about games, rewards, and app updates
Improve our services and develop new features
Prevent fraud and ensure fair play

3. Location Data

Location data is central to TailgateFans™' verification system. We only collect precise location when you actively use the app to submit a tailgate photo. We use geofencing to confirm you're within the stadium area during valid game windows.

You can disable location access in your device settings, but this will prevent you from earning points through verified tailgate submissions.

4. Photo Processing

Photos you submit are processed by our AI system to detect tailgate elements like grills, food, team gear, and groups of people. This analysis happens securely and is used solely for point calculation purposes.

Photos may be displayed in app feeds (if you choose to share publicly) or kept private based on your privacy settings.

5. Data Sharing

We may share your information with:

Sponsor Partners: Limited data necessary to process reward redemptions
Service Providers: Third parties who help operate our services (hosting, analytics)
Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect rights and safety

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest, secure authentication, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate data
Request deletion of your account and associated data
Opt out of marketing communications
Export your data in a portable format

8. Children's Privacy
