GameTree PBC (“GameTree,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation with the public benefit purpose of fostering rich human connections and improving the joy and happiness of our users.

GameTree respects the privacy of its users (“you”) and has developed this Privacy Policy to demonstrate its commitment to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect, how that information may be used, with whom it may be shared, and your choices about such uses and disclosures.

By using our website, mobile application, Discord bot (Scout), or any of our services (collectively, our “Service”), you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about our privacy practices, please refer to the end of this Privacy Policy for information on how to contact us.


1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

When registering as a user with GameTree, you may log in through third-party services such as Facebook, Discord, FuturePass, or other supported authentication providers. If you do so, you authorize us to access relevant account information consistent with your privacy settings on those platforms, which may include your public profile, email address, interests, gender, birthday, photos, personal description, and friend list.

You may also provide us with:

1.2 Scout Discord Bot

Our Discord bot, Scout, collects certain information when it is added to a Discord server or when users interact with it. This includes:

Scout does not read or store the contents of messages in channels where it is not explicitly invoked. Data collected through Scout is subject to the same protections described throughout this Privacy Policy.

1.3 Information Collected Automatically

We automatically collect information from your browser or device when you use our Service, including:

1.4 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies: When you visit our Service, we may assign your device one or more cookies to facilitate access and personalize your experience. Through cookies, we may automatically collect information about your activity on our Service, such as pages visited, time and date of visits, and links clicked.

Pixel tags: We embed pixel tags (also called web beacons or clear GIFs) on web pages, ads, and emails to access cookies and track user activities such as page views. Ad companies may also use pixel tags to measure ad performance.

Mobile device IDs: In our mobile app, we use mobile device IDs (or Advertising IDs on iOS) instead of cookies to recognize you, store your preferences, and track app usage. Advertising IDs can be reset in your device settings.

1.5 Information Collected by Third Parties

We may allow service providers, advertising companies, ad networks, and other third parties to display advertisements on our Service. These companies may use tracking technologies such as cookies or web beacons to collect information about users who view or interact with their advertisements. We do not provide any non-anonymized personal information to these third parties.

Some of these third-party advertising companies may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative, which offers a single location to opt out of ad targeting from member companies at www.networkadvertising.org. Opting out will not decrease the number of advertisements you see.


2. How We Use Your Information

We may use information that we collect about you to:

Job Applicants

If your personal information is submitted through our website when applying for a position with GameTree, the information will be used solely in connection with considering and acting upon your application. We may retain your personal information for the purpose of considering your application for current or future available positions.


3. How We Share Your Information

3.1 Information Shared with Other Users

When you register as a user of GameTree, your profile will be viewable by other users of the Service. Other users will be able to view information you have provided to us directly or through social media, such as your photos, first name, age, approximate distance, personal description, and information you have in common. If you match with another user, you will be able to chat with them and they will see the content of your messages.

3.2 Service Providers

We may share information, including personal and financial information, with third parties that perform certain services on our behalf, such as fulfilling orders, providing customer service, performing business analysis, ad tracking and analytics, and supporting our Service functionality. These service providers may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to share or use such information for any other purposes.

3.3 Legal and Safety Disclosures

We may disclose your information, including personal information:

3.4 Corporate Transactions

In connection with a substantial corporate transaction such as the sale of our business, a merger, consolidation, asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction.

3.5 Aggregated and Non-Personal Information

We may use and share non-personal information under any of the above circumstances. We may also share aggregated, non-personal information, or personal information in hashed, non-human-readable form, with third parties including advisors, advertisers, and investors for the purpose of conducting general business analysis, research, or other business purposes.


4. Your Choices and Controls

After account closure, we will retain certain information associated with your account for analytical purposes and recordkeeping integrity, as well as to prevent fraud and take actions we deem necessary to protect the integrity of our Service or our users.


5. Do Not Track Disclosure

We do not currently recognize or respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) browser signals, as the industry has not yet established a common standard for responding to DNT.


6. Data Security

We take security measures to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure. However, no system can be completely secure. We do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information, chats, or other communications will always remain secure. Users should take care with how they handle and disclose their personal information and should avoid sending personal information through insecure channels.

If you are visiting our Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located. By using our Service, you understand and agree that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy.
