Effective date: Febuary 25, 2025

ROBOSTEM FOUNDATION INC (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates Jumper Mobile (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use the App. This policy is designed to comply with global privacy laws, including but not limited to GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and other applicable international data protection regulations, as well as Apple App Store requirements.

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:

  • Event URLs entered manually

This information is used solely to provide app functionality

We may automatically collect limited technical information such as:

C. Public Event Data
The App retrieves publicly available data from:

  • RobotEvents

This includes event schedules, match results, rankings, and livestream video identifiers. All such data is public and accessed through official APIs or publicly available endpoints.

We do not control the privacy practices of these third-party platforms.

2. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

  • Load and display VEX Robotics event data
  • Synchronize livestream video playback with match schedules
  • Provide event history functionality (stored locally on your device)
  • Improve app performance and reliability
  • Prevent misuse or abuse of the App

We do not use personal data for advertising or behavioral tracking.

3. Local Data Storage

Jumper Mobile may store the following locally on your device:

  • Recently viewed events
  • User-provided API keys (if entered)
  • App preferences

This information remains on your device unless you delete the App. We do not remotely access locally stored data.

4. Third-Party Services

The App integrates the following third-party services:

  • YouTube (via YouTube Data API V3 and embedded player)
  • RobotEvents (V2 API)
  • Expo Application Services (infrastructure and app runtime)

Your use of embedded YouTube video content is subject to YouTube’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of these services.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade user information.
We may disclose limited information only:

  • To comply with legal obligations
  • To enforce our rights
  • To protect the safety and integrity of users or the public

6. International Users

Jumper Mobile is available globally. By using the App, you understand that information may be processed in countries outside your residence, including the United States.

Where required by law (e.g., GDPR), we rely on legitimate interest and user consent (where applicable) as our legal basis for processing.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including:

  • Access to personal data
  • Correction of inaccurate data
  • Deletion of personal data
  • Restriction or objection to processing
  • Data portability

Because Jumper Mobile collects minimal personal data and does not maintain user accounts, many data rights requests may not apply. However, you may contact us regarding any privacy concern.

California residents may request disclosure regarding data collection practices under CCPA/CPRA. EU/UK residents may exercise GDPR rights by contacting us.

8. Children’s Privacy

Jumper Mobile is not directed to children under 13 (or equivalent minimum age in relevant jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we become aware that personal data from a child has been collected without appropriate consent, we will delete such information promptly.

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

10. Data Retention

We retain data only as long as necessary to:

  • Provide core app functionality
  • Meet legal obligations
  • Resolve disputes
  • Locally stored data remains on your device until deleted.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates will be reflected by a revised “Effective Date.” Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
