Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Version: 1.0
Effective date: 6 September 2026
Amination Esports respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
1. Information We Collect
When you register for an Amination Esports account or tournament, we may collect information such as:
- Your name.
- Your FC Mobile username.
- Your email address.
- Your country.
- Your FC Mobile squad information or squad OVR where required by the platform.
- Your account and registration information.
- Tournament participation, match and result information.
- Information relating to reports, disputes, investigations and tournament administration.
If a future tournament uses a payment provider, payment-related information may also be processed by that provider. Amination Esports will only request or retain payment information where reasonably necessary for the relevant service.
2. Why We Use Your Information
We may use personal information to:
- Create and manage your account.
- Register you for tournaments.
- Identify players and opponents.
- Organise fixtures, brackets and tournament progression.
- Record match results and player statistics.
- Investigate suspected cheating, fraud, impersonation or other rule violations.
- Communicate with you about tournaments, your account or important service matters.
- Maintain the security and integrity of the platform.
- Comply with applicable legal obligations.
3. Tournament Information
Some information may need to be visible to other participants for a tournament to operate properly. This can include your player name, FC Mobile username, country, tournament participation, fixtures, results and relevant competitive statistics.
We aim to limit publicly displayed information to information that is reasonably necessary for tournament operation, community activity, reporting and competitive records.
4. Legal Basis and POPIA
Amination Esports will process personal information in accordance with applicable South African data-protection requirements, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), where applicable.
Personal information will be processed only for legitimate and specified purposes and, where required, on an appropriate lawful basis such as consent, performance of a service, compliance with a legal obligation or another lawful justification.
5. Children and Younger Participants
Amination Esports may allow younger participants to take part in tournaments where the relevant tournament rules permit it.
Where applicable law requires consent from a parent, guardian or other competent person before personal information relating to a child may be processed, the required consent must be obtained before the participant is accepted.
We will not knowingly process children's personal information in a manner prohibited by applicable law.
6. Information Sharing
We do not sell personal information to third parties.
Personal information may be shared with service providers where reasonably necessary to operate the platform. Examples may include hosting, database, security, email, payment and other infrastructure providers.
Where information must be disclosed because of a legal requirement, court order or other lawful obligation, we may disclose the relevant information as required.
7. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
8. Passwords and Account Security
Account passwords are intended to be stored using password-hashing mechanisms rather than as ordinary readable passwords.
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and should notify Amination Esports if you believe your account has been compromised.
9. Data Retention
Personal information will not be retained indefinitely without a legitimate reason. Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, tournament records, security, dispute resolution, legal obligations or other legitimate purposes.
10. Your Rights
Subject to applicable law and any relevant exceptions, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to request access to information held about you and to request correction of inaccurate information.
Requests should provide enough information for us to identify the relevant account and understand the request.
11. Changes to This Policy
Amination Esports may update this Privacy Policy when the platform, applicable law or our data-processing practices change.
The current version and effective date will be displayed on this page.
