ChatBall
Privacy Policy
This policy covers the ChatBall live game, this website and the tools ChatBall uses to publish its own videos to its own social media accounts.
Who is responsible
ChatBall is run by Jakub MizerÃk, Slovakia. Contact: chatballhelp@gmail.com
What data we use and why
Players in the live chat
When you write in the public live chat of a ChatBall stream (YouTube or Twitch), the game reads your public display name and your message to play the game: your message drops a ball for the country you type. The game keeps a scoreboard with display names, the country played and the number of balls, to show leaderboards, ranks and the match's best player on the stream and in clips of the game. We do not collect e-mail addresses, phone numbers or any private information. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in running a public chat game (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
ChatBall's own accounts
ChatBall's publishing tools connect only to ChatBall's own accounts (the ChatBall Facebook Page and Instagram account, YouTube channel and TikTok account). They publish ChatBall's own videos and read the numbers and comments of those posts. They do not collect data about other people's accounts. Access keys are stored privately on ChatBall's own computers and never shared or sold.
This website
This website uses no cookies, no analytics and no tracking. Like every website, its host (Cloudflare) processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver the pages.
Services we use
- YouTube (Google) and Twitch, to stream the game and read its public chat.
- Meta (Facebook, Instagram), TikTok and YouTube, to publish ChatBall's videos.
- Buffer, to schedule ChatBall's TikTok posts; Cloudinary, to hold a video for a short time until it is published (then deleted).
- Cloudflare, to host this website.
Some of these companies process data outside the European Union, under the safeguards they provide (such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework).
How long we keep data
Leaderboard entries (display name, country, score) older than 12 months are deleted automatically. Statistics of ChatBall's own posts are kept to compare them over time and contain no personal data.
Your rights
You can ask for access to your data, its correction or deletion, restriction of its use, or object to its use; see Data deletion for the quickest way. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; in Slovakia this is the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic.
