• Mobile phone number — if you choose to provide it, so we can send you the text messages you opt into (see "Text messaging" below).
• Tournament and wallet activity — brackets you create or join, match results, and your in-app balance and transactions.

We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or SMS opt-in consent with any third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes. Mobile information is used only to deliver the messages you requested and is not shared with third parties except service providers that help us send those messages on our behalf (for example, our SMS carrier).

How we share information
