Privacy Policy

Version 2026-06-16-v1. Effective June 16, 2026.

Build 9d0d10d • 6/17/2026, 3:49:59 PM

This Privacy Policy explains how The Squares Game collects, uses, and protects information when managers and players use the app.

Information we collect

  • Account information, such as name, email address, and login activity.
  • Grid information, such as pools, squares, assignments, payment status, payout rules, winner history, player notes, and manager actions.
  • Contact information that managers import or enter for player invitations, assignments, reminders, and communications.
  • Technical information, such as device, browser, request, security, performance, rate-limit, cache, and error data.
  • Payment-related identifiers and status from Stripe when card checkout, connected accounts, refunds, subscriptions, bundles, or billing are used.

How we use information

  • To operate grids, login links, player invitations, reservations, score updates, payment status, winner displays, and manager tools.
  • To process manager billing and Stripe-powered card checkout when enabled.
  • To send transactional emails, such as login links, invite links, assignment links, payment updates, contact-card emails, and winner notices.
  • To prevent fraud, spam, abuse, unauthorized access, payment misuse, and unexpected infrastructure costs.
  • To support, debug, secure, maintain, and improve the app.

Service providers

We use service providers for hosting, authentication, data storage, email delivery, payments, caching, queues, logs, security, and analytics. These providers may process information only as needed to provide those services.

Manager-imported contacts

Managers are responsible for the contact information they import or enter. Managers should only add contacts they are allowed to use for game-related communications.

The app may use imported contact data to generate invites, assignment links, payment reminders, winner notices, and manager-controlled communication templates.

Cookies and local storage

The app may use cookies, browser storage, IndexedDB, local cache, and similar technologies to keep users signed in, remember preferences, cache app data, improve performance, and protect the service.

Retention

We keep information for as long as needed to operate the app, support managers and players, satisfy legal, payment, tax, accounting, audit, security, or dispute requirements, and protect the service.

Some grids, archived records, payment references, logs, or winner records may remain after a user stops using the app when needed for operational, compliance, or dispute reasons.

Your choices

You may contact us to request help accessing, correcting, or deleting information where applicable. Some records may need to be retained for legal, security, audit, payment, or dispute reasons.

Managers can also correct CSV contact details, payment defaults, invite templates, and grid settings inside the app where those controls are available.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and operational controls designed to protect the app and reduce misuse. No system is perfect, and users should protect login links, invite links, and account access.

Terms

Use of the app is also governed by our Terms of Use.
