Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 15, 2025

Thank you for choosing to use our web application and services ("ModView," "we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you access or use our services, including our TikTok Box Battle Score Tracker (the "Service"). It also outlines your rights under applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").

1. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data is the creator or operator of ModView (collectively referred to as "we" or "us"), who can be contacted at jhancuff@modview.io.

2. Data We Collect

• Account & Login Information: When you use our Service, we collect certain credentials, including your TikTok open_id (if you choose to sign in with TikTok) or your locally created username and hashed password. We do not store any raw passwords from TikTok; only the minimal tokens/cookies necessary to authenticate and operate our Service.
• User Content & Scores: We store data related to TikTok Box Battles (e.g., diamonds gifted, scoreboard updates, and multipliers) to facilitate real-time score tracking.
• Session & Usage Logs: We keep session information (e.g., session IDs, timestamps, IP addresses) to maintain user sessions and for security audits (the "audit log").
• Subscription Tier Data: If you subscribe via TikTok to a particular Tier to gain access to our Service, we may store a record of that subscription tier, your associated open_id, and the date/time of subscription validation. We do not store credit card or financial data, as all subscriptions are handled through TikTok's platform.

3. How We Use Your Data

• Service Operation: We use your login information and battle scores to provide the real-time scoreboard functionality, track diamonds, and manage the hosting experience.
• Authentication & Security: We use session data and hashed passwords (for local logins) or tokens (for TikTok-based logins) to verify user identity, prevent unauthorized access, and detect or address technical or security issues.
• Compliance & Legal Obligations: We may process your data to comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests (e.g., subpoenas or court orders).

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

Under the GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases to process personal data from individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom:

• Contractual Necessity: We process your personal data to fulfill our contractual obligations to you (e.g., providing scoreboard functionality and real-time updates).
• Legitimate Interests: We use data in ways that are necessary to maintain and improve our Service, conduct analytics, ensure security, and protect against fraud.
• Consent: Where required by law, we may rely on your consent to process certain personal data (e.g., optional sign-ins or marketing communications).

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For instance, scoreboard data and session logs may be retained until the battle session concludes or until automatic cleanup thresholds are reached. Audit logs may be stored longer for security and compliance reasons.

6. Data Sharing & Transfers

• Third-Party Services: We may share certain data with service providers or subcontractors who assist us with hosting, database maintenance, analytics, and other support services. We require these third parties to process your data on our behalf and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
• Legal Disclosures: We may disclose data to law enforcement or regulatory agencies if required by law or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, investigate fraud, or ensure user safety.
• International Transfers: If we transfer personal data outside the EEA or UK, we ensure that appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, are in place to protect your data.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use session cookies and similar tracking technologies to keep you logged in and maintain the real-time scoreboard feature. These cookies are essential for the Service and cannot be disabled without impacting functionality. We do not use third-party advertising or behavioral analytics cookies.

8. Your Rights

If you are located in the EEA or UK, you have certain rights under data protection laws, including:

• The right to access, correct, or delete your personal data.
• The right to object to or restrict processing of your data.
• The right to data portability.
• The right to withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent) at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
• The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise these rights, please contact jhancuff@modview.io.

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) without verifiable parental consent. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal data without parental consent, please contact us so we can remove the information.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after the posting of any revisions indicates your acceptance of those changes.
