Trash Talk Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Trash Talk mobile application. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. We believe in keeping things straightforward — no 40-page legal novels.
01. Information We Collect
When you use Trash Talk, we collect the following information:
- Account information — your email address and username when you sign up.
- Favorite teams — the sports teams you follow, so we know which games matter to you.
- Friend names — the names you assign to friends in the app, along with their favorite teams, so we can generate targeted trash talk.
- Usage data — how you interact with the app, including which trash talk messages you send, features you use, and general activity patterns. This helps us make the app better.
- Device information — basic device details such as operating system, app version, and a unique device identifier for push notifications.
We do not collect your contacts, location, or any financial information.
02. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide the service — deliver personalized trash talk based on real game results and your friends' team affiliations.
- Generate AI trash talk — your friend names and team preferences are sent to our AI systems to craft relevant, game-specific messages.
- Improve the app — analyze usage patterns to fix bugs, improve performance, and build features that people actually want.
- Send notifications — alert you when your friends' teams lose so you never miss a trash talk opportunity.
- Communicate with you — send important updates about the service, respond to support requests, and occasionally share product news (you can opt out of non-essential emails at any time).
03. Third-Party Services
We work with a small number of trusted third-party services to power the app:
- OpenAI — we use OpenAI's API to generate trash talk messages. When a message is generated, relevant game data and your friend's team information are sent to OpenAI for processing. OpenAI's usage policies apply to this data.
- ESPN — we pull live scores, stats, and game data from ESPN to ensure every roast is grounded in real results.
- Analytics providers — we use analytics tools to understand app usage and performance. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Ever.
04. Data Storage & Security
We take the security of your data seriously:
- All data is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption.
- Data is stored on secure servers with access controls and monitoring.
- All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted in transit using TLS.
- We regularly review our security practices and update them as needed.
That said, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
05. Your Rights
You have control over your data. Here is what you can do:
- Delete your account — you can delete your account at any time from the app settings. When you do, we permanently remove your personal data from our servers within 30 days.
- Export your data — you can request a copy of all data we hold about you by contacting us at the email below.
- Opt out of notifications — you can disable push notifications and marketing emails at any time through the app settings or your device settings.
- Correct your information — you can update your username, email, and team preferences directly in the app.
If you have questions about exercising any of these rights, reach out to us at support@trashtalkapp.com.
06. Children's Privacy
Trash Talk is intended for users who are 13 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@trashtalkapp.com and we will take steps to remove that information.
07. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through the app or via email. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data.
