Orka Sports

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 24, 2026

Orka Sports ("we", "our", "us") operates the orkasports.com website and the Orka Sports mobile application (collectively, the "Platform"), providing player registration, competition management, performance ranking, and AI-powered video analysis for sports and fitness challenges. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

By creating an account, registering as a player, or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

1Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information when you use Orka Sports:

CategoryExamples
Account & ProfileName, email, phone number, date of birth, gender, nationality, blood group, city/state/country, profile photo
Player DataHeight, weight, age category, game/event selection, division, physique category, performance stats
MediaPerformance videos uploaded for ranking and AI-based motion/rep detection
LocationCity/state for rankings; precise GPS location (only with permission) for nearby partner discovery
Payment DataTransaction ID, payment status, referral credits (card/UPI details processed by our payment gateway, not stored by us)
Usage DataApp interactions, likes/follows, device type, IP address, crash logs

2How We Use Your Data

  • To create and manage your player profile and competition registrations
  • To calculate rankings (international, national, state, city, and division-wise leaderboards)
  • To process performance videos using motion-detection technology for rep counting, posture validation, and scoring
  • To enable features such as fan likes/follows, fan's choice rankings, and referral rewards
  • To show nearby partner venues based on your location
  • To process payments and credit referral earnings
  • To communicate updates, match schedules, and important notices
  • To improve app performance, fix bugs, and prevent fraud or abuse

3Video & Motion Detection

When you upload a performance video, Orka Sports uses on-device or server-side motion analysis to detect repetitions, duration, posture, and scoring metrics relevant to your event (e.g. squats, push-ups, planks, lifts). This processing is used solely to generate your performance score and ranking.

Videos are stored securely and are visible to other users only where the feature is public-facing (e.g. on your player profile or video gallery), as intended by the app's design. You can request deletion of your videos at any time.

4Location Data

The Platform may request access to your device's location to show nearby training partners, venues, or events using distance-based search. Location access is optional — declining it will only disable location-based features, not your core account functionality. We do not track your location in the background.

5Payments & Referrals

Player registration and certain features may require payment, processed through a third-party payment gateway. We do not store your full card or banking details on our servers. We retain only transaction status and reference IDs for verification and support purposes.

Our referral program credits earnings when a referred user completes registration or a purchase. We track the referring user, the referred user, and the credited amount to administer this program fairly.

6Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with:

  • Service providers who help us operate the Platform (hosting, payment processing, analytics)
  • Other users, limited to public profile information you choose to display (name, rank, stats, videos)
  • Sponsors/partners, only in aggregated or anonymized form, unless you explicitly opt in
  • Legal authorities, where required to comply with law or protect rights and safety

7Storage & Security

Your data is stored on secured servers with access restricted to authorized personnel. We use industry-standard measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and authenticated API access (Laravel Sanctum) to protect your information. While we take reasonable precautions, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

8Data Retention

We retain your account and performance data for as long as your account remains active, or as needed to provide our services, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations. You may request account and data deletion at any time as described below.

9Your Rights & Choices

  • Access, update, or correct your profile information from within the app
  • Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Request deletion of your account, videos, or specific data
  • Withdraw location or camera permissions at any time via device settings
  • Opt out of promotional communications

10Children's Privacy

Orka Sports includes age-category events for younger athletes. Where a participant is a minor, registration and data collection must be performed or authorized by a parent or legal guardian, who is responsible for reviewing this policy on the minor's behalf.

11Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
