Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Account information: when you sign up or sign in, we collect your name and email address.

Optional profile details: you may choose to add a profile photo and an Instagram handle to your profile. Both are optional, and you can edit them at any time.

Gameplay data: your predictions, answers, points, streaks, and leaderboard rankings — including your final standing in past seasons that have been archived.

District community data: Districts you create or join, your membership role and any join request, together with District details you provide, such as a name, description, or cover image.

District announcements and media: announcements and any images or videos you share in a District, together with basic file metadata needed to display them.

Push notification data: if you enable notifications, we store your device's push notification token together with your app language and your notification preferences, so we can send you the notifications you choose.

Sign-in session data: to keep you signed in between visits, the App stores a secure session token on your device and a matching record on our servers. It is removed when you sign out or delete your account.

Device and usage data: basic technical information such as app version, device type, and general usage needed to operate and improve the App.

We do not collect payment information. Hawi is free and does not sell products or in-app purchases.

2. How We Use Your Information

To create and manage your account and authenticate sign-in.

To run the prediction game: scoring your answers, calculating points, and ranking you on leaderboards.

To operate private Districts: process invitations and join requests, manage membership roles and approval settings, show District standings, display District announcements and media, and send District-related notifications when enabled.

To send you optional push notifications — such as match reminders, results, announcements, and offers — according to the notification preferences you set. You can turn these off at any time.

To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the App.

To respond to your support requests and important service notices.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

Authentication provider: we use Clerk to securely sign you in. Clerk processes your sign-in data under its own privacy policy.

Notification delivery: push notifications are delivered through Expo's push notification service and Apple's and Google's notification systems. These services receive your device's push token in order to deliver notifications.

Within the App: your display name, profile photo (if you add one), points, and ranking may be visible to other users on public leaderboards, including the final standings of archived past seasons.

Within private Districts: members can see the District profile, member display names, profile photos (if any), roles, District standings, and announcements or media available to the group. District owners and authorized administrators can also manage member access and content. Hawi's authorized global administrators may access this information only as needed to operate, secure, support, or enforce the App.

Legal reasons: we may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and the App.

4. Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the App.

When you delete your account, we delete your personal data and gameplay history — including your profile photo, entries in archived past-season standings, District memberships and join requests, and announcements and media you authored. If you own a District, we also delete that District and its related data, except where we must keep information to comply with legal obligations.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You can access and update your profile information — including your display name, profile photo, and Instagram handle — in the App at any time.

You can turn push notifications on or off — entirely or per category — in Settings → Notifications inside the App, or in your device's system settings.

You can delete your account directly from Settings → Delete Account. This permanently removes your personal data and gameplay history.

Depending on your region, you may have additional rights to access, correct, or erase your data. Contact us to make a request.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will remove it.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the App. Continued use of the App means you accept the updated policy.
