Privacy Policy
Squad Rivals is an independent decentralised application (dApp). This policy explains what data we process when you use it, why, and the choices you have. It is written in good faith and may be updated as the product and applicable law evolve.
Who we are
Squad Rivals is an independent fantasy sports prediction game. It is not operated by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Socios, Socios Europe Services Limited, Chiliz, or any football club, league, or governing body. You interact with the dApp at your own risk.
What we collect
Account & sign-in. When you sign in we use Privy as our authentication provider. Depending on your chosen method this may include your email address, a linked social account identifier, and an embedded or external wallet address. We store a handle you choose and a session identifier.
Wallet & on-chain activity. Your public wallet address and the on-chain transactions you make (challenge locks, fan-token activation, reward claims) are recorded on the public Chiliz blockchain. Public blockchain data is, by nature, permanent and outside our control.
Gameplay. Squads, drafts, challenges, predictions, results, and leaderboard standings you generate while playing.
Technical & usage. Device and browser information, IP-derived approximate region, and error/diagnostic data (via Sentry) used to keep the service secure and working.
How we use your data
To operate the game (build squads, run challenges, settle results, maintain leaderboards), to authenticate you and secure your account, to process on-chain settlement and rewards, to provide support, to detect abuse and fraud, and to comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal data.
Blockchain & wallets
Squad Rivals does not custody your wallet or seed phrase, and the free tier requires no on-chain transaction to play. Fan-token activation uses a non-custodial escrow returned to you after the season; token purchases, transfers, and staking are separate actions governed by your own wallet. Transactions on the Chiliz blockchain are public, pseudonymous, and immutable — we cannot edit or delete them.
Service providers
We rely on a small set of processors to run the service, including Privy (authentication and embedded wallets), Sentry (error monitoring), our hosting and database providers, and third-party football match-data sources used to settle games. Each processes data only as needed to provide its service.
Cookies & local storage
We use cookies and browser local storage for essential functionality — keeping you signed in, preserving session state, and remembering a pending invite. We do not use them for third-party advertising.
Data retention
We keep account and gameplay data for as long as your account is active and as needed for the purposes above. On-chain data persists on the public blockchain independently of us. You can request deletion of off-chain data as described below.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under the EU GDPR and Brazil's LGPD) you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. We will honour valid requests for the off-chain data we control; on-chain records cannot be deleted.
Children
Squad Rivals is intended for users who are 18 or older, or the age of majority in their jurisdiction. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
International transfers
Your data may be processed in countries other than your own by us and our service providers. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected here with a new “Updated” date at the top of this page.
