SkyStop ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your information when you use the SkyStop Simulation Platform ("Simulator"), available at skystop.app. By using the Simulator you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Policy.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

1.1 Information You Provide

When you register for a Simulator account we collect:

• Email address
• Display name or username (optional)
• Password (stored in encrypted form)

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you use the Simulator we automatically collect:

• Device information including device type, operating system, and browser type
• IP address and approximate geographic location
• Usage data including pages visited, features used, and time spent on the Simulator
• Simulated position history including Practice Positions placed, virtual stakes, and simulated payouts
• Log data including access times, error logs, and referring URLs

1.3 Information from Third Parties

In Simulation Mode we receive limited third-party data:

• Flight status data from our designated flight data API providers, used solely for Practice Position resolution
• Analytics providers for platform performance monitoring

We do not use identity verification, KYC, payment processing, or AML screening services in Simulation Mode.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage your Simulator account
• Resolve Practice Positions based on real flight outcome data
• Track your simulated portfolio performance
• Send transactional communications including position confirmations and simulated payout notifications
• Notify you when the live SkyStop platform launches (with your consent)
• Provide customer support
• Detect and prevent unauthorized access and abuse
• Improve and develop the Simulator and live platform
• Send promotional communications where you have consented to receive them

We do not use your information to process financial transactions, verify identity for regulatory purposes, or report to financial regulators in Simulation Mode.

3. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

We process your personal information on the following legal bases:

• Contract performance: Processing necessary to provide the Simulator services you have requested
• Legitimate interests: Processing necessary for platform security, abuse prevention, and service improvement
• Consent: Processing based on your explicit consent, including marketing communications and launch notifications

Because the Simulator involves no financial transactions, we have no legal obligation basis for processing in Simulation Mode. KYC and AML legal obligations will apply on the live platform.

4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

4.1 Service Providers

Third-party vendors who assist in operating the Simulator including:

• Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers
• Flight data API providers used for Practice Position resolution
• Analytics and performance monitoring services
• Customer support platforms
• Email delivery services for account and notification communications

4.2 Legal and Regulatory Authorities

We may disclose your information to law enforcement or other authorities where required by law or where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law or legal process
• Enforce our Terms of Service
• Protect the rights, property, or safety of SkyStop, our users, or others
• Detect, prevent, or address fraud or security issues

4.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change and the choices available to you.

4.4 With Your Consent

We may share your information for other purposes with your explicit consent.

5. FLIGHT DATA AND PRACTICE POSITION RESOLUTION

Practice Position resolution is performed automatically using real flight status data obtained from designated third-party data providers. The flight data used for resolution is not personal information and is not linked to your identity beyond the context of your specific Practice Position. SkyStop does not share your simulation activity with airlines or other travel industry entities.

6. SIMULATED POOL AND SSKP TOKEN DATA

Your simulated SSKP token holdings, simulated pool activity, and Practice Position history are stored on our platform and associated with your account. This information is used solely to display your Simulator portfolio and track simulated performance. Aggregate, anonymized simulation data may be published for transparency and marketing purposes but will not identify individual users.

7. DATA RETENTION

We retain your information for as long as necessary to operate the Simulator and communicate with you about the live platform launch. Specifically:

• Account information: Retained for the duration of your account and for 12 months following account deletion or Simulator shutdown
• Simulated position history: Retained for the duration of your account; may be deleted upon request
• Usage and log data: Retained for up to 24 months
• Marketing preferences: Retained until you withdraw consent or request deletion

Because no financial transactions occur in Simulation Mode, the extended regulatory retention periods that apply to KYC documents and transaction records on the live platform do not apply here.

8. YOUR RIGHTS

Depending on your jurisdiction you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information. Because no regulatory retention obligations apply in Simulation Mode, deletion requests will generally be honored promptly
• Portability: Request transfer of your information in a machine-readable format
• Restriction: Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances
• Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Withdraw consent: Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, including launch notification emails

To exercise any of these rights please contact us at support@skystop.app. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

14. TRANSITION TO LIVE PLATFORM

When the live SkyStop platform launches, a separate and more comprehensive Privacy Policy will apply reflecting the full data collection requirements of a licensed financial platform, including KYC documentation, payment data, and regulatory reporting obligations. Simulator users will be notified of the updated Policy and asked to provide consent before accessing live platform features.

15. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Policy on the Simulator and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
