Meydança

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 17, 2026

Meydança is a mobile app for finding and booking football pitches and connecting players with venue owners. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the app and website, how we use it, and your rights.

By downloading or using the app you agree to this policy.

1. Information we collect

We only collect what we need to provide the service:

  • Account information: your phone number, name, and account type (player or venue owner). Optionally, a recovery email address, if you add one to get back into your account.
  • Player profile (optional): your birth year, playing positions, a short bio, and whether other players may invite you to games.
  • Venue information (for owners): venue name, address, photos, prices, and opening hours.
  • Booking data: the date, time, duration and price you select, plus your booking history — including whether you showed up or cancelled late.
  • Pickup games: games you create, join or are invited to, and your requests to join.
  • Messages: your conversations with venues, game chats with the players in your game, and support chat.
  • Reviews and ratings: reviews only for venues you have actually played at, and 1–10 ratings between players who played in the same game.
  • Reports and blocks: content or players you report, the reason you give, and players you block.
  • Device and notification data: a device token for push notifications, the time you were last active, and basic technical logs.
  • Location: to show nearby pitches — only if you allow it. We do not track you in the background.
  • Photo library: so venue owners can upload pitch photos — only when you pick files.
  • Payment data: payment status, order ID, amount, a Payriff card token and the last 4 digits of the card (so we can collect monthly commission automatically). We never see or store the full card number (see below).

2. How we use information

  • To create, confirm and manage bookings.
  • To enable connections and messaging between players and venues, and between players for pickup games.
  • To send notifications about confirmations, reminders, invites and game updates.
  • To process venue owner payments (commission, advertising).
  • To keep the service secure and prevent fraud and abuse. If either side reports a venue conversation, our team can view only that reported conversation. To review reports and enforce our rules, our team can also view game chats and reported player profiles, and may remove content.
  • To improve the service and provide support.

3. Payments

Venue owner payments (commission and advertising) are processed by Payriff, a licensed payment provider. We never see your full card number. For commission we store a Payriff card token and the last 4 digits so the balance can be collected automatically on the 1st of each month. We also store the payment result, order ID and amount.

For players, the pitch fee is currently paid in cash at the venue unless stated otherwise.

4. Sharing information

We do not sell your data. We share it only in these cases:

  • When you book, the venue owner sees your name, phone number, booking details, and how many past bookings you did not show up for or cancelled late, to manage the booking.
  • Other signed-in users can open your player profile: your name, bio, age (from your birth year), positions and average rating. Your phone number is never shown there.
  • Players in the same game see each other in the player list and in the game chat. Individual ratings are anonymous: others only ever see an average, and only once it is based on enough ratings from several players and games.
  • If you allow invites, other players can find you and invite you to their games.
  • With service providers: hosting and database (Supabase), push notifications (Expo), payments (Payriff), SMS (1sms.az), and crash reporting (Sentry).
  • With authorities where required by law or to protect our rights.

5. Data retention

We keep your data while your account is active and as long as needed to provide the service. After you delete your account we delete or anonymise your data, except where we must retain it for legal obligations (e.g. accounting).

One further exception, to prevent abuse: if your booking history contains a no-show or a late cancellation, we keep those counters for 12 months after deletion, keyed to an irreversible cryptographic fingerprint of your phone number — so that deleting and re-registering cannot reset that record. We do not keep your name, your messages, or the number itself. If your record is clean, nothing is kept.

Reviews you left for venues stay on the venue after you delete your account, but are no longer linked to you.

6. Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data. However, no transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your rights

You have the following rights over your data:

  • Access and correct your data (mostly in the profile section of the app), including your bio, positions and invite setting.
  • Block players and report content or profiles.
  • Delete your account and data.
  • Opt out of push notifications (from your device settings).
  • Withdraw consent by contacting us.

8. Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time from within the app. Alternatively, you can send a deletion request to support@meydancaapp.az and we will process it within a reasonable time.

9. Children

Meydança is not intended for anyone under 16, and venue owner accounts are for adults (18+) only. If you believe someone under 16 has created an account or given us information, email support@meydancaapp.az and we will delete the account and data.

10. International transfers

Our service providers (e.g. Supabase) may host servers outside Azerbaijan. Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. For significant changes we will notify you via the app or website. Please check the “Last updated” date above.
