Location Services
Swish uses your location only if you desire to give us access to this data. You do not need to share your location with us to access Swish. However, many of the services we provide are enhanced by the ability to access your location.
Swish requests access to your location in order to locate upcoming pick-up games in your surrounding area. Swish is a platform for public player groups to form, facilitating group pick-up games. The finding of public player groups near your location is contingent upon you allowing Swish access to your location.
Swish will not share, use, or sell data relating to your location in any way. Permission to access your location is directed solely towards providing full and enhanced services. We may share aggregate information about location trends, of which you may be a part as a Swish user. We may record, use, sell, or share aggregate information relating to the population, frequency, and patterns of individuals gathering at sporting locations based on observations from data recorded on Swish.
By joining a pick-up game on Swish, other users will be able to view your username, and thus your profile (indirectly). When you join a public game, all users will be able to see the location and time for the game that you have joined. Thus, your location can be made known. By showing the list of users who join pick-up games, Swish is able to enhance the community effect of playing sports games. We may use data that you join games to make recommendations to other Swish users.
