This Privacy Policy forms part of our User Agreement and describes how Fanz® LLC ("Fanz®," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and safeguards your personal information when you access or use the Fanz® platform. We value transparency, and this summary highlights the key points:
Information We Collect: We gather information you provide directly (such as account details, content you post, and payment data), information collected automatically (device data, usage patterns, cookies), and information obtained from third parties (social media platforms, analytics services, and sports data providers like ESPN).
How We Use It: We use your information to operate the Platform, personalize your experience, process payments via Stripe, deliver communications, display relevant advertising, ensure platform security, comply with legal obligations, and power AI-driven features such as Coach AI.
How We Share It: We may share your information with other users (per your privacy settings), service providers (including Stripe, Supabase, and Groq), business partners, and when legally required. We do not sell your personal information.
Your Rights: You may access, update, or delete your information; opt out of marketing communications; manage cookies; request data portability; and withdraw consent at any time. Residents of California and the European Economic Area have additional rights under the CCPA and GDPR respectively.
Data Security: We employ encryption, secure authentication protocols, regular security audits, and Row Level Security (RLS) at the database layer. No system is completely immune to risk, but we take commercially reasonable measures to protect your data.
Children's Privacy: Fanz® is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We comply with COPPA and will promptly delete any information collected from a child under 13 if we become aware of it. Users between 13 and 18 should use the Platform under parental supervision.
Policy Updates: We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be communicated through the Platform, and your continued use following such changes constitutes acceptance.

Public profiles and public content are accessible to all users and may be indexed by search engines. You can manage the visibility of your information through your account privacy settings.
We engage trusted third-party vendors who perform functions on our behalf. These service providers are contractually obligated to use your data solely for the purposes we specify and in compliance with this Privacy Policy. Our key service providers include:
We may share aggregated or de-identified data with advertising partners, sponsors, and other business collaborators for the purpose of delivering relevant promotions, measuring campaign effectiveness, and developing joint offerings.

In the event that Fanz® undergoes a merger, acquisition, reorganization, asset sale, bankruptcy proceeding, or similar corporate transaction, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity or successor as part of that transaction. We will provide notice of any such transfer and any changes to applicable privacy practices before your personal information becomes subject to a materially different privacy policy.
We retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, provide the Platform and its services, comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
When you request deletion of your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within a commercially reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required or permitted by applicable law (for example, to maintain financial transaction records, comply with tax obligations, or support fraud prevention efforts). Certain aggregated or de-identified data that can no longer be associated with you may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may exercise the following rights with respect to your personal information:
You may access and modify your account information, profile details, and privacy settings at any time through your account dashboard. If you require assistance, you may contact us at support@fanz.us.

You may request a copy of your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format by contacting us at privacy@fanz.us. We will fulfill such requests within the timeframe required by applicable law.
Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal, nor does it affect processing conducted on other lawful grounds.
The Platform is not intended for, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of 13. In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), if we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information without verified parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our systems.
For users between 13 and 18 years of age, we strongly recommend that a parent or legal guardian supervise their use of the Platform and review this Privacy Policy together. Parents and guardians who believe their child may have provided personal information to Fanz® without appropriate consent should contact us immediately at privacy@fanz.us.
Please see the COPPA Compliance Addendum below for additional details regarding our practices with respect to minor users.
Fanz® is headquartered in the United States. Your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions in which our service providers maintain facilities. These jurisdictions may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country of residence.
By using the Platform, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States and other applicable jurisdictions. For users located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, we implement appropriate safeguards -- including Standard Contractual Clauses and other transfer mechanisms approved by applicable data protection authorities -- to ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related legislation.
We take the security of your personal information seriously and employ a combination of administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
Despite these measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you become aware of any unauthorized access to your account, please notify us immediately at support@fanz.us.
The Platform may contain links to, or integrations with, third-party websites, applications, and services that are not owned or controlled by Fanz®. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of these third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service before providing personal information to them.
Our Platform currently integrates with the following third-party services, among others:
Each of these providers operates under its own privacy policy and terms of service, which govern their collection and use of your data independently of this Privacy Policy.
If you are a resident of the State of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), grants you the following additional rights regarding your personal information:

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable laws, or business operations. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page and provide reasonable notice through the Platform (such as a banner notification, email, or in-app alert) prior to the changes taking effect.
Your continued use of the Platform following the effective date of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to periodically review this page to stay informed of how we collect, use, and protect your information.

This addendum supplements the Privacy Policy above and provides additional detail regarding how Fanz® addresses the privacy and safety of users under 18 years of age, in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and related child safety best practices.
During account registration, all users are required to provide their date of birth. We use this information to determine whether a user meets the minimum age requirement for Platform access. Users who indicate they are under 13 years of age are prohibited from creating an account. If we later determine that a user misrepresented their age and is in fact under 13, we will suspend the account and delete the associated personal information as promptly as practicable.
For users between 13 and 18 years of age, we strongly encourage parental or guardian involvement in the registration process and ongoing use of the Platform. In jurisdictions where verifiable parental consent is required before collecting personal information from minors, we will implement appropriate consent mechanisms. Parents or guardians may contact us at privacy@fanz.us to review, modify, or request deletion of their child's personal information.
We limit the personal information collected from users identified as minors (ages 13 through 17) to the minimum necessary for Platform functionality. We do not serve behaviorally targeted advertising to users under 18 and restrict the sharing of minor user data with third-party advertising partners. Any AI-powered features used by minor accounts are configured to process only the data essential for delivering the requested functionality.
Parents and legal guardians of minor users have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, parents or guardians may contact us at privacy@fanz.us or by phone at (970) 515-5411.
Accounts identified as belonging to users under 18 are subject to enhanced safety protections, which may include:
Users under 18 are subject to additional controls regarding monetary features on the Platform. Minor users may not access certain monetization features (such as receiving tips, selling merchandise, or listing digital collectibles) without verified parental or guardian consent. Any earnings or monetary transactions associated with a minor account may require parental oversight and approval before funds can be withdrawn or transferred.
Fanz® recognizes that many minor users may be student athletes exploring Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities. We are committed to providing a safe environment for young athletes to build their personal brand while maintaining appropriate privacy safeguards. Any NIL-related features available to minor users are designed with additional protections, including restrictions on the types of personal information that may be made publicly available, mandatory parental consent for NIL-related agreements facilitated through the Platform, and compliance with applicable state NIL laws governing minor athletes. For further information about our NIL-related practices, please refer to our Terms of Service.
By using the Fanz® platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy and the COPPA Compliance Addendum set forth above.
