Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice explains how Seth Wyatt Griffin (“we”, “us”, or “MarketBall”) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use the MarketBall website and services (collectively, “the Service”). MarketBall is a fantasy sports analytics and information service; we do not accept wagers, hold customer funds for wagering, or process prediction-market transactions.

We never see or store your full payment card details. Card data is collected and processed directly by our third-party payment provider. We receive only limited billing metadata (such as your subscription status, plan, country for tax purposes, and the last four digits of a card where provided).

1. Data Controller

Seth Wyatt Griffin is the data controller responsible for your personal data collected through the Service. For privacy questions, contact us at marketballsupport@gmail.com.

4. Who We Share Data With

We share personal data only as necessary with the following categories of recipients:

• Service providers: hosting, authentication, analytics, error reporting, and customer support tools.
• Payment service providers: where you purchase a paid subscription, a third-party payment provider processes the transaction, handles billing and invoicing, and may act as an independent controller for the payment data it collects. MarketBall does not directly store complete payment card information.
• Professional advisers: legal, accounting, or insurance professionals where necessary.
• Authorities: law enforcement or regulators when required by law or to protect our rights.

5. International Transfers

Some of our service providers may process data outside your country of residence, including the United States. Where personal data is transferred from the UK or EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions approved by relevant authorities.

6. Data Retention

We keep your personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Service, fulfill the purposes described in this Notice, or comply with legal obligations. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights including: access to your data, correction of inaccurate data, erasure (“right to be forgotten”), restriction of processing, data portability, objection to processing based on legitimate interests, and withdrawal of consent for marketing. We aim to respond to requests within one month. You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.
