Briyo Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Briyo (“we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses, stores and protects your information when you use the Briyo iOS application (the “App”), including when you make use of in‑app purchases. The App is intended for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to use the App.

By installing or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to this Privacy Policy and to our End-User License Agreement (“EULA”). If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Data Controller and Contact

For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the data controller is the operator of Briyo.

If you have any questions or requests about this Privacy Policy or your personal data, you can contact us at:
Email: help@briymax.com

2. Eligibility (18+ Only)

The App is designed for adults and may only be used by individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from anyone under 18 years old. If we become aware that we have collected data from someone under 18, we will delete such data.

3. Categories of Data We Process

Depending on how you use the App, we may process the following categories of information:

3.1. Basic account and profile information

• Nickname or display name that you choose inside the App.
• Basketball-related profile details you optionally add (for example, preferred play style or short bio).
• Avatar or profile picture that you upload from your device.

3.2. Usage and activity information

• Your interactions with the App’s features (such as training sessions you start or complete, puzzles you attempt, and streak statistics).
• Content you create within the App, such as posts, captions, and comments (collectively, “User-Generated Content” or “UGC”).
• Basic analytics about how often you open the App, feature usage counts and in-App navigation patterns.

3.3. Device and technical information

• Device model, operating system version and basic device identifiers (such as an Apple-provided identifier for the device or for the App, where permitted by Apple’s policies).
• Crash logs and performance data, so that we can maintain stability and improve the App.

3.4. In‑app purchase information

When you make in‑app purchases, payments are processed by Apple via the App Store and we do not receive your full payment card details. However, we may receive limited information relating to the transaction from Apple, including:

• An identifier for the purchased item (for example, a product identifier).
• The country or region of your App Store account.
• Confirmation that a purchase was completed, refunded, or cancelled.

We use this information to unlock or manage in‑App features you have paid for, to prevent fraud and abuse, and to maintain our internal records for accounting and support purposes.

4. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

Where the GDPR applies, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

• Performance of a contract – to provide you with the core App functionality and with any in‑App purchases you have selected, including maintaining your profile, UGC, training history, puzzle progress, and access to paid content or features.
• Legitimate interests – to secure the App, prevent misuse, combat abusive behavior, improve features and experience, moderate UGC, prevent fraudulent purchases, and maintain accurate transactional records.
• Consent – for specific optional features where explicit consent is legally required. You can withdraw consent at any time, which will not affect processing that has already occurred.

5. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain, and provide the features of the App.
• To create and manage your profile and in-App identity.
• To record your training habits, puzzle results, streaks, and related statistics.
• To enable UGC posting, viewing, and interaction features.
• To moderate UGC and enforce our community rules and EULA.
• To process, validate and support your in‑App purchases and to provide you with the content or features you have paid for.
• To respond to your inquiries and support requests submitted via email or from within the App, including questions related to purchases.
• To analyze usage and performance so that we can improve the App and fix issues.
• To protect the security and integrity of the App, detect fraud or misuse, and ensure a safe environment.

6. User-Generated Content (UGC) and Community Rules

The App allows you to create and share UGC, such as posts, captions, and other basketball-related content. You are solely responsible for any UGC you create, upload or share.

6.1. Prohibited content

We have a strict zero-tolerance policy for UGC that is offensive, harmful or illegal. You must not create, share, or promote any UGC that includes or encourages:

  • Sexual content involving minors, or any sexualization of minors.
• Violent, graphic or disturbing content, including:
  • Graphic depictions of injury, death or serious harm.
  • Content intended to shock, disgust or cause strong discomfort.
• Gambling-related content, including:
  • Promotion of real-money gambling, betting, lotteries, casinos or similar services.

6.2. Moderation and enforcement

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, to:

• Review, filter, or moderate UGC.
• Remove, edit, or restrict access to any UGC that we consider to be in violation of our rules, harmful, or inappropriate.
• Temporarily or permanently suspend or terminate user accounts involved in violations.
• Report serious violations to relevant authorities where legally required or appropriate.

By using the App, you agree that we may handle UGC in these ways in order to keep the App safe, respectful, and compliant with law.

6.3. Your rights in relation to UGC

You may be able to edit or delete your own UGC from within the App. However, removing UGC from public view does not necessarily mean that all copies are deleted from our systems, for example where retention is necessary for legal or security reasons (see “Data Retention” below).

7. In‑App Purchases

The App may offer optional in‑App purchases that allow you to access additional content, features or benefits. In‑App purchases are processed and billed by Apple through your Apple ID account in accordance with Apple’s terms and conditions and applicable payment rules.

• We do not receive your full payment card details.
• Apple may share limited information with us so that we can confirm that a purchase has occurred and unlock the corresponding content or features inside the App.
• Transaction history may be used by us to provide support, handle refund requests, and prevent abuse or fraud.

8. Sharing of Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information with:

• Service providers that process data on our behalf (for example, analytics, crash reporting or payment-related service providers), subject to strict confidentiality and data protection obligations.
• Apple and other payment processors involved in your in‑App purchases, as necessary for us to confirm, manage and support those purchases.
• Authorities or third parties when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, protect our rights or the safety of users, or prevent fraud and abuse.
• Other users to the extent that you choose to make UGC or profile information visible within the App.

9. International Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries outside of your country of residence, which may have different data protection laws. Where required by law, we will take appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal data remains protected, for example by using standard contractual clauses recognized under the GDPR.

10. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

• As long as you have an active account in the App.
• For a reasonable period after you stop using the App, in case you return and to maintain legitimate business records, especially records of in‑App purchases and related support.
• For as long as required by applicable law (for example, to comply with accounting, tax or legal retention obligations).

We may retain certain logs or records for a longer period if necessary to investigate misuse, enforce our EULA, or protect our rights and interests.

11. Your Rights (Including GDPR Rights)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access – to request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and to obtain a copy of that data.
• Right to rectification – to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to erasure – to request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to restriction – to request that we limit the processing of your personal data in certain cases.
• Right to data portability – to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used format and have it transferred to another controller where technically feasible.
• Right to object – to object to our processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling, in which case we will stop unless we have compelling legitimate grounds.
• Right to withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

To exercise your rights, please contact us at help@briymax.com. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated.

12. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any credentials or device you use to access the App.

13. Third-Party Content and Links

The App may display or link to third-party content (including UGC created by other users). We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services or websites that you visit.

14. Relationship with the EULA

Your use of the App is also governed by our EULA, which sets out the terms and conditions for using Briyo, including key rules on acceptable behavior and UGC. The EULA clarifies that we do not tolerate offensive, harmful, or abusive content or misuse of the App, and grants us the right to suspend or terminate access in such cases.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” and “Effective date” at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically so that you remain informed about how we protect your information.

Your continued use of the App after changes are made will constitute your acknowledgment of the updated Privacy Policy and your agreement to follow and be bound by it.
