Privacy Policy
Last updated: 8 June 2026
3OT.live (“3OT”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a basketball community website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use 3OT.
Information we collect
We may collect information you provide directly, including your username, display name, email address, password, profile information, favourite teams, posts, comments, messages, reactions, game entries, leaderboard entries, uploaded images, and account settings.
If you sign in using Google or another social login provider, we may receive basic account information such as your name, email address, profile image, and provider account ID, depending on the permissions you approve.
How we use your information
- To create, verify, secure, and manage your 3OT account.
- To display your public profile, posts, comments, reactions, rankings, and leaderboard entries.
- To send account emails such as verification emails, password reset emails, and security notifications.
- To operate community features including topics, chat rooms, messages, notifications, follows, tips, and games.
- To prevent spam, abuse, fraud, security incidents, and misuse of the service.
- To improve 3OT, troubleshoot issues, and understand how the site is used.
Public content
Content you publish on 3OT may be visible to other users and visitors. This includes posts, comments, reactions, profile details, usernames, display names, badges, leaderboard results, and other public activity. Do not post information you do not want others to see.
Messages and chat
Private messages are intended to be visible only to the conversation participants and authorised administrators where required for safety, support, moderation, legal compliance, or abuse prevention. Topic chats and public chats may be visible to other users.
Images and uploads
When you upload images, we may resize, compress, convert, and store them for display on 3OT. We may remove images that breach our rules, appear unsafe, or are reported by users.
Cookies and sessions
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, protect your account, remember preferences, prevent fraud, and operate the website. You can disable cookies in your browser, but parts of 3OT may not work correctly.
We use email to send account-related messages such as verification links, password resets, login or account notifications, and important service updates. We may use third-party email delivery providers to send these messages.
Third-party services
3OT may use third-party services for authentication, email delivery, payments, analytics, hosting, security, image handling, and other site operations. These providers may process information only as needed to provide their services to us.
Data security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. No online service is completely secure, so you should use a strong password and keep your login details private.
Data retention
We keep information for as long as needed to operate 3OT, provide services, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce rules, and maintain security. Some public content may remain visible unless removed by you or by 3OT.
Your choices
You may update certain account information in your account settings. You may request help accessing, correcting, or deleting account information by contacting us. Some information may need to be retained for security, legal, moderation, or operational reasons.
Children
3OT is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will review the account.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
