LLast updated: 24/02/2026
BeAChallenger is an independent hobby project operated by an individual creator (“we”, “our”, “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our website, mobile application, and services (the “Service”).
1. Information We Collect
We collect only the data necessary to operate the Service.
Information you provide directly
- Email address (for account creation and authentication)
- Display name and username
- Profile image (optional)
- Fitness submissions (scores, optional notes)
- Uploaded proof media (images/videos), if required for moderation
Information collected automatically
- Device and browser information
- IP address (for security and abuse prevention)
- Usage data (pages visited, actions taken)
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Create and manage your account
- Authenticate users and prevent fraud
- Display leaderboards, rankings, and profiles
- Review and moderate submissions
- Maintain platform integrity and security
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal data.
3. Proof Media & Data Minimization
If you upload images or videos as proof for a submission:
- Proof media is stored temporarily
- Proof is stored in a private bucket and accessed with short-lived signed links
- Proof is accessible only to you and authorized moderators/admins
- Proof is deleted after moderation and periodically purged after retention windows
We do not retain proof media longer than necessary.
4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
We process personal data under the following legal bases:
- Performance of a contract (providing the Service)
- Legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, moderation)
- Consent (optional profile information)
5. Data Sharing
We do not share your personal data with third parties except:
- Service providers necessary to operate the Service (e.g. hosting, storage, authentication, email delivery, and App Store payments)
- When required by law or legal process
6. Data Retention
- Account data is retained while your account is active
- Proof media is deleted after moderation and scheduled retention cleanup jobs
- You may request account deletion at any time; this removes profile/content data and your authentication account record

No system is 100% secure, but we take security seriously.
9. Children’s Privacy
The Service is not intended for users under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
