We reserve the right to respond or not respond to such requests. Please comply with the rules in Spoorts’s Terms of Use.
While we have the right to monitor activity and content associated with Spoorts, we are not obligated to do so.

We also, however, reserve the right not to take any action. Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for any content, including, but not limited to any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of, access to, or denial of access to any content on the Website.

- Use of stock or stolen avatar photos

You may not use Spoorts’s services for the purpose of spamming anyone. Spam is generally defined on Spoorts as bulk or aggressive activity that attempts to manipulate or disrupt Spoorts or the experience of users on Spoorts to drive traffic or attention to unrelated accounts, products, services, or initiatives. Some of the factors that we take into account when determining what conduct is considered to be spamming include:
- if you have made large number of group or user contact requests, or followed and/or unfollowed a large number of user accounts or Pages, in a short time period;
- if your posts or comments consist mainly of links and/or are shared without commentary;
- if a large number of people have blocked you in response to high volumes of untargeted, unsolicited, or duplicative content or engagements from your account;
- if a large number of spam complaints have been filed against you;
- if you post duplicative or substantially similar content, replies, comments to multiple Pages, Groups, or users; or create duplicate or substantially similar accounts;
- if you post multiple updates to a Page, Group, user or topic with an intent to subvert or manipulate the topic to drive traffic or attention to unrelated accounts, products, services, or initiatives;
- if you send large numbers of unsolicited posts, comments, replies or mentions;
- if you add users to lists in a bulk or aggressive manner;
- if you are randomly or aggressively engaging with Pages, Groups, or users to drive traffic or attention to unrelated accounts, products, services, or initiatives;
- if you repeatedly post other people’s account information as your own (e.g., bio, posts, comments, profile, user URL, etc.);
- if you post misleading, deceptive, or malicious links (e.g., affiliate links, links to malware/clickjacking pages, etc.); Accounts created to replace or mimic suspended accounts may be permanently suspended.
We may also remove accounts which Spoorts at its discretion attributes to entities known to violate the Spoorts Terms of Use.

11. Our Commitment To Data Security


Spoorts uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Spoorts and you do so at your own risk. Using unsecured Wi-Fi or other unprotected networks to submit messages through the Spoorts Service is never recommended. Once we receive your transmission of information, Spoorts makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. If Spoorts learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. Spoorts may post a notice on the Spoorts Site or through the Spoorts Service if a security breach occurs.

12. Spoorts Content Data


When you use our Services, we process any data you explicitly enter into the site (your “Content Data”), including your full name, email address, profile information, posts, comments, photos, voice recordings, videos, files, emojis, etc. Spoorts uses your Content Data for the sole purpose of serving and providing you with the full experience of Spoorts. You control how we process your Content Data through Privacy & Sharing settings in your account at Spoorts. At any time you can edit/update, retrieve or delete your Content Data in your account.

13. Spoorts Log Data


When you use our Services, we may receive information (“Log Data”) such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, the referring web page, pages visited, location, your mobile carrier, and device information (including device and application IDs). We receive Log Data when you interact with our Services, for example, when you visit our websites, sign in to our Services, interact with our email notifications, use your account to authenticate to a third-party website or application. We may also receive Log Data when you click on, view or interact with links on our Services, including links to third-party applications, such as when you choose to install another application through Spoorts. Spoorts uses Log Data to provide, understand, and improve our Services. We either delete Log Data or remove any common account identifiers, such as your username, full IP address, or email address, after a maximum of 12 months.

14. Your Data Portability


At any time you can retrieve your entire Content Data package from Spoorts, using the “Download Your Content” feature in your profile under “My Information” section. When you select this feature, you will be able to download your Content Data to your personal device and decide how to migrate that data anywhere you choose.

15. Deleting Your Account - Right to Erasure


At all times you have an easy way to opt-out of our service and delete your account as well as ALL of your Content Data, if you do not wish to continue using our services. You can find this in your “Settings” where it says “Delete My Account.” When you delete any of your Content Data, or delete your entire account, we delete your Content Data and remove your account from our production servers as soon as is technically possible based on our infrastructure design including a 30-day delay to insure the deletion request was made by you, etc. The more data you delete, the longer will the deletion process take due to load balancing protections on our servers. After we’ve deleted your Content Data from our production servers, that same data may remain in our backups for a limited period of time (maximum of 7 months) due to protection regulations and our protocols for backup content protection. We secure your data that temporarily remains on our backups with additional security protocols. If we ever need to restore our backups into the main servers of Spoorts (in a rare instance, for example recovering from a natural disaster), if any of your Content Data you have previously deleted from our main servers is still on our backups in that moment, it will be deleted prior to or right after the backups are moved to the main servers. If you own a group and delete your account, the content you posted to that group will be deleted; however, the group(s) you own will not be deleted unless you are the only member of that group.
