What we collect
- Account: name, email, profile photo (from your sign-in provider via Kinde)
- Profile: self-reported skill level, play areas, positions, availability notes
- Sub matching: sub requests you post, interest actions, match status
- Chat: coordination messages between matched poster and player
- Events: saved/remind-me preferences; community event submissions
- Device: Expo push token and platform (iOS/Android) for notifications
- Share links: when you share a sub request, we mint a short link (trypepper.ing/s/...). We log anonymous view/open events (timestamp, link token, user agent) to show posters basic attribution. We do not sell this data.
- Usage: basic app diagnostics and error logs on our servers
How we use data
To match volleyball players for subs, show relevant events in Metro Vancouver, send notifications about your requests and chats, and keep the service secure. We do not sell personal data.
Sharing
We use subprocessors including Kinde (auth), Neon (database), Fly.io (hosting), Expo (push delivery), and RevenueCat (subscriptions when enabled). Data stays in Canada/US regions per provider defaults.
Retention
Sub and chat data are retained per our backend policy (matched subs longer for support; messages time-bounded). You may request deletion via support@metacube.digital.
Your choices
- Deny push notifications — core features still work with manual refresh
- Block users — hides them from your feeds and prevents interaction
- Sign out — removes local tokens; push token deregistered on logout
Children
Pepper is not directed at children under 13.
