Privacy Policy
Last updated: 12 October 2026
Wasl ("Wasl", "we", "us") is a social sports app for finding games, communities and competitions in Qatar. This policy explains what information the Wasl app collects, why, and the choices you have. By using Wasl you agree to this policy.
1. Information you give us
- Account details: your email address, or the name and email shared by Google or Apple if you sign in with them. If you use "Hide My Email" with Apple, we only receive a relay address.
- Profile: your display name, first and last name, profile photo, bio, area, the sports you play and your skill level in each. A phone number is optional.
- What you create and share: meets (activities), communities, competitions and teams you create or join, chat messages, announcements, cover photos, and scores you enter.
- Safety actions: users you block and reports you submit about people or content.
2. Information collected automatically
- Device and notifications: a push notification token, your device platform (iOS or Android), app language and app version, so we can send you notifications.
- Activity in the app: games played, attendance and the resulting "street cred" points and level shown on your profile.
- Technical logs: our servers keep short-lived logs (such as IP address and request time) to keep the service secure and fix errors.
Wasl does not track your device's location. Locations in Wasl are only the venues people choose for meets on the map.
3. Permissions on your phone
- Photos and camera: only when you choose a profile or cover photo.
- Calendar: only to add a meet or competition you join to your calendar, when you ask. We don't read your calendar.
- Notifications: to tell you about join requests, messages, reminders and changes. You can turn them off in your phone's settings.
4. How we use your information
- To run your account and show your profile to other players.
- To let you find, join and organise meets, communities and competitions, and chat with other players.
- To send notifications you'd expect, such as reminders and join requests.
- To keep Wasl safe: reviewing reports, enforcing our Terms and preventing abuse.
- To fix problems and improve the app.
We don't sell your personal information and we don't show third-party advertising.
5. What other people can see
Your display name, photo, bio, sports, skill levels and street cred are visible to other Wasl users. Members of a meet, community or competition can see who else has joined and the messages in its chat. Public meets, communities and competitions (their title, sport, time, venue and number of players) may also appear on the Wasl website without player names.
6. Service providers
We use trusted providers to run Wasl. They process data only on our behalf:
- Supabase and our own servers: database, file storage and app backend.
- Google Firebase: sign-in and push notifications.
- Google and Apple: if you choose to sign in with them.
- Google Maps: showing and picking venues on the map.
These providers may store data outside Qatar. We may also share information if required by law or to protect the safety of our users.
7. How long we keep it
We keep your information while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time in the app under Settings → Delete account. When you do, we remove your memberships, participations, notifications, devices, follows, blocks and sports, anonymise your profile, and make your sign-in unusable. Messages and content you posted in group chats may remain but are shown as from a deleted user. Backups are overwritten within 30 days.
8. Your choices and rights
- View and edit your profile at any time in the app.
- Delete your account in the app, or ask us to delete it by email.
- Ask us for a copy of your information or to correct it.
- Turn off notifications, or remove calendar and photo access, in your phone's settings.
9. Children
Wasl is not intended for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child under 13 is using Wasl, contact us and we will remove the account.
10. Security
We use encrypted connections, access controls and limited staff access to protect your information. No service is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and keep your sign-in details private.
11. Changes
We may update this policy. If the changes are significant we will tell you in the app. The date at the top shows the latest version.
