Privacy notice

SportyXR Table Tennis — beta. Last updated 12 September 2026.

This is a beta. We collect the minimum needed to find out what is broken and to tell you when the full version is ready. This page says exactly what that is, in plain terms.

Who we are

SportyXR Table Tennis is operated by SportyXR. For any privacy question, including a request to delete your data, contact hello@sportyxr.com.

What we collect

• An anonymous ID. When you play, your browser is issued a random identifier. It is not linked to your name or your Meta account, and we cannot use it to identify you.
• Session and gameplay data. Once per play session: when it started and ended, which mode you chose, how far you got (loaded, started playing, finished a match), match statistics such as shots and accuracy, your browser's user-agent string and screen size, network quality figures for multiplayer, and any JavaScript errors the app hit.
• Feedback you choose to send. A rating and, if you write one, your note.
• Web analytics. We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to count visits to this site and see which pages people open. It stores an identifier in your browser and records the usual web measurements — page addresses, referring site, approximate location from your IP address (we do not see the address itself), device and browser type. It is used to measure the site, not to build an advertising profile of you. Advertising and ad-personalisation signals are switched off everywhere, for everyone.
• Your email address — only if you type it into the early-access box. There is no account and no sign-in: we store the address you type, nothing more.
• Abuse protection. This site is protected by Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise, which checks that requests come from a real browser and not a script. It runs invisibly and is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

What we do not collect

• No camera or passthrough imagery ever leaves your headset.
• No microphone audio, room scan, or spatial map of your home.
• No precise location. We never ask for GPS or device location; the only geography we see is the country/region Google Analytics infers from an IP address.
• No advertising, ad profiling, or cross-site tracking.

Why we collect it

Session and error data exist so we can fix faults we cannot reproduce — a headset failing to connect on a network we have never seen, for example. Feedback tells us what to prioritise. Your email is used for one thing: to tell you when the full version is available. We do not sell it, and we do not pass it to anyone for their own marketing.

Where it is stored

In Google Cloud Firestore and Google Identity Platform (which issues the anonymous ID), operated by Google on our behalf, and — for the web analytics above — in Google Analytics. Session and feedback records are not readable from the app by anyone, including you — only by us, through an administrative interface.

How long we keep it

Session records are deleted automatically after 90 days. Feedback is kept for as long as the beta is useful to us. Email addresses are kept until the launch mail has gone out, or until you ask us to remove yours, whichever comes first.

Your choices

• You can play without ever giving an email address. Nothing is gated.
• In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland analytics storage is switched off by default — no cookie or identifier is written unless and until you opt in, and Google Analytics receives only cookieless, aggregated pings. Advertising signals are denied everywhere, for everyone, regardless of region.
• Google Analytics also honours your browser's or headset's ad-blocking and tracking-protection settings; blocking it does not affect the game.
• You can ask us to delete everything associated with you. If you joined the early-access list, email us from that address and we can find your records; if you did not, tell us roughly when you played and we will do our best, but an anonymous ID may not be traceable back to you — which is the point of it.
• Clearing your browser's site data for this domain discards the anonymous ID on your device. Records already sent remain, unless you ask us to delete them.

Children

This beta is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this notice changes in a way that matters, we will update the date at the top. The beta is moving quickly, so it is worth re-reading if you come back after a long gap.
