The short version

Three things worth knowing.

This summary is here for speed, not for lawyering — the numbered sections below are the actual policy.

We collect what a booking needs

Your email, name, skill level, the courts you book, and the receipt for what you paid. Nothing is collected to build an advertising profile.

Your card never touches our servers

Card and GCash payments are handled on PayMongo's hosted checkout. We keep the amount, the method, and the reference — never your card number.

The club you book sees your booking

Front-desk staff at that club see your name, skill level, and payment status for their own courts. Other clubs do not.

Who we are

Matchpoint (“Matchpoint”, “we”, “us”) operates the Matchpoint player app, the court booking site at booking.matchpointlinks.app, the club console used by club staff, and this website.

For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, we act as the Personal Information Controller for the personal data described in this policy.

You can reach us about anything in this policy at hello@matchpointlinks.app.

What this covers

This policy applies to personal data we process through:

  • the Matchpoint app on iOS and Android;
  • the web booking app at booking.matchpointlinks.app;
  • the club console used by club owners and front-desk staff; and
  • this marketing website.

It does not cover a club's own separate systems, or third-party services you reach from our apps — those are governed by their own privacy policies.

Information we collect

Account information

When you create an account we collect your email address. If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your email address (or Apple's private relay address) and, where you allow it, your name — we do not receive your password.

Profile information you choose to add

  • Full name — shown to clubs you book with and to players in an open-play session you join;
  • Profile photo — optional, uploaded from your photo library;
  • Skill level and self-rating — used for open-play matching and club rosters;
  • DUPR ID — optional, if you want your DUPR identity on your profile.

Booking and play activity

  • courts and time slots you book, and cancellations;
  • open-play sessions and matches you join, and your position in a session's queue;
  • clubs you are a member of, and coaching bookings you make;
  • receipts and loyalty progress derived from your completed bookings.

Payment information

Card, GCash, and QR Ph payments are processed by PayMongo on their own hosted checkout. Your card number, expiry, and CVV are entered on PayMongo's page and are never sent to or stored on our servers.

What we store is the record of the transaction: the amount, the currency, the payment method type (for example “GCash” or “card”), the convenience fee applied, the status, and PayMongo's reference for it — so we can show you a receipt and settle with the club.

Device permissions you grant

These are all optional, requested only when you use the feature, and can be revoked in your device settings at any time:

  • Photo library — to pick a profile photo. The image you select is uploaded; we do not read the rest of your library.
  • Location — to sort and show clubs near you. Your coarse location is used on your device for that view and is not stored on our servers as a location history.
  • Saving to photos — to save a QR Ph payment code as an image when you ask us to.

Technical information

To keep you signed in, our apps store an authentication session on your device. Our infrastructure providers also generate ordinary server and security logs — including IP address, timestamp, and the request made — which we use to operate the service, debug faults, and prevent abuse.

What we do not collect

No trackers, no ad profiles

Our apps ship with no third-party analytics, advertising, or attribution SDKs. We do not collect advertising identifiers (IDFA / GAID), we do not build behavioural advertising profiles, and this marketing site sets no tracking cookies and loads no third-party scripts or fonts.

We also do not collect your contacts, your calendar, your microphone or camera input in the player app, your precise background location, or your health and fitness data. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

How we use information

  • To run your bookings — reserve courts, hold and release open-play slots, show your upcoming games, and process cancellations.
  • To take payment — initiate checkout, confirm a payment succeeded, issue your receipt, apply promo codes and loyalty rewards, and handle refunds or disputes.
  • To send service email — sign-in codes, invitations, and booking confirmations, sent through our email provider. These are transactional; we do not add you to a marketing list without your consent.
  • To match open play fairly — use skill level and self-rating to build balanced matches and order the queue.
  • To give clubs their own operational data — occupancy, revenue, and demand for their courts, so the front desk and owner can run the club.
  • To keep the service safe and working — debug faults, prevent fraud and abuse, and enforce our terms.
  • To meet legal obligations — keep financial records and respond to lawful requests.

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal effects on you.

Our lawful basis

Under RA 10173 we process personal data on these criteria:

  • Contract — processing necessary to deliver the booking, open play, and payment services you asked for.
  • Consent — for optional things you switch on, such as a profile photo, location-based club sorting, or marketing email.
  • Legal obligation — retaining transaction records required by Philippine tax and accounting rules.
  • Legitimate interests — securing the service, preventing fraud and abuse, and improving reliability, balanced against your rights.

Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time — by changing the relevant device permission or setting, or by contacting us. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already carried out.

What clubs can see

Booking a court necessarily tells the club that you booked it. When you book at a club or join one of its open-play sessions, that club's owner and authorised staff can see:

  • your name, profile photo, and skill level;
  • the courts, sessions, and coaching slots you booked with them, past and upcoming;
  • the amount paid, the payment method type, and whether payment succeeded; and
  • your membership and loyalty progress at that club.

A club sees only its own bookings and members. It cannot see your activity at other clubs, and it never sees your card details. Clubs are expected to use this information only to run their courts and to comply with RA 10173 in their own right.

Who we share with

We share personal data with the service providers below, who process it on our instructions and are bound to protect it. We do not sell it to anyone.

ProviderWhat it does for usData involved
Supabase Database, authentication, and file storage — our core backend Account, profile, bookings, receipts, profile photos
PayMongo Payment processing for card, GCash, and QR Ph Amount, method, reference; card details go to them directly, not through us

We may also disclose personal data where we are legally required to — to comply with a valid order, subpoena, or request from a competent authority, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. If we are ever involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal data may transfer to the successor entity, and we will notify you before it becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Storage and transfers

Our providers operate data centres outside the Philippines, so your personal data is stored and processed abroad. When personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, we remain accountable for it under RA 10173 and rely on contractual commitments with each provider requiring a comparable level of protection.

How long we keep it

  • Account and profile data — for as long as your account is open. If you ask us to delete your account, we remove or anonymise your profile within 30 days, except where we must keep records under the rules below.
  • Booking and payment records — retained for the period required by Philippine tax and accounting law, which for records supporting financial transactions is currently ten (10) years. These records are kept for compliance only and are not used to profile you.
  • Server and security logs — kept for a short operational window, typically under 90 days, then rotated out.

Your rights

Under RA 10173 you have the right to:

  • Be informed — know that your personal data is being processed, and why;
  • Access — obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
  • Rectify — correct data that is inaccurate or out of date;
  • Object — object to processing, including withdrawing consent for optional features;
  • Erasure or blocking — have data removed or suspended where it is unlawful, unnecessary, or no longer needed;
  • Data portability — receive your data in a structured, commonly used electronic format;
  • Damages — be indemnified for damage caused by inaccurate, incomplete, or unlawfully obtained data; and
  • Lodge a complaint — file one with the National Privacy Commission.

You can edit your name, photo, and skill level yourself in the app at any time. For access, portability, erasure, or anything else, email hello@matchpointlinks.app from the address on your account. We will verify your identity and respond within 15 days, and will tell you if we need longer or if an exemption applies.

Deleting your account

Ask us at hello@matchpointlinks.app and we will delete your account and profile. Bookings already paid for stay in the club's financial records, and transaction records we are legally required to keep are retained as described above.

Security

We use organisational and technical measures appropriate to the risk, including encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest, row-level access rules in our database so one account cannot read another's data, passwordless sign-in so there is no password of yours for us to leak, scoped access for club staff limited to their own club, and payment handling delegated to a PCI-DSS compliant processor.

No system is perfectly secure. If a breach occurs that is likely to give rise to a real risk of serious harm, we will notify the National Privacy Commission and the affected users as required by RA 10173.

Children

Our apps are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. A parent or legal guardian must create and manage the account for a minor and may book on their behalf. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Cookies and local storage

This marketing site sets no cookies and loads no third-party scripts, fonts, or analytics — the fonts are embedded in the page itself.

Our apps use local storage on your device (and, on the web, first-party cookies or local storage) to keep your sign-in session and remember basic preferences. These are strictly necessary to keep you logged in; clearing them signs you out.

Changes

We will update this policy as the product changes. The effective date at the top always reflects the current version. If a change materially affects how we handle your personal data, we will give notice in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use Matchpoint after a change takes effect means you accept the updated policy.

Contact and complaints

Questions, requests, and privacy complaints all go to the same place, and reach a person.

Data protection contact

hello@matchpointlinks.app

Email us and we will respond within 15 days. Put “Privacy” in the subject line so it gets routed correctly.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
