Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 31, 2026

Welcome to Ledge! This Privacy Policy describes how The Ledge Inc. and its affiliates (“Ledge,” “we,” “us” and “our”) collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process your personal information, and describes the choices and rights you may have with respect to your personal information. We use information about you to fulfil our commitment to providing you a great e-venue experience for creating and managing gaming and online events.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information that is collected by Ledge during any written, electronic, and oral communications online when you:

• interact with our websites, pages, features or content that links to this Privacy Policy, such as https://ledge.io/ (collectively, the “Sites”);
• engage any associated tools, or services developed and managed by Ledge that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, including the Site, the “Services”).

This Privacy Policy does not apply to: (a) gaming services or platforms operated by third parties that may be integrated with Ledge or linked to from within the platform; or (b) the information practices of other companies or individuals that may advertise, promote, or otherwise reference Ledge services but operate independently. Please consult those companies’ own privacy policies and terms.

By accessing, visiting, or using our Services, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy and, if you are a Ledge user, you agree to the Ledge Terms & Conditions. If you are not comfortable with any part of this Privacy Policy or do not agree with the applicable Terms, please immediately discontinue access or use of our Services.

We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time and will post the date it was last updated at the top of this Privacy Policy. Unless otherwise noted, any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective on the “Last Updated” date indicated above. We will provide additional notice to you if we make changes to this Privacy Policy that materially affect your privacy rights in accordance with applicable laws. We may also provide “just-in-time” disclosure or additional information about our information collection, use, and sharing practices for specific products or service offerings. These notices may supplement or clarify our privacy practices or provide you with additional choices about how we process your personal information.

1. Personal Information We Collect

We collect certain personal information about you and your use of our Services. The definition of personal information (used interchangeably with “personal data”) depends on the applicable law based on your physical location or state residency. Depending upon the law in your jurisdiction, only the definition that applies to your state of residence or location residency will apply to you under this Privacy Policy. The personal information that we collect generally falls into three primary categories: (1) information you voluntarily provide to us; (2) information we collect from you automatically; and (3) information we collect from third parties.

Information You Voluntarily Provide to Us. We, or service providers that assist us in providing, maintaining, and operating our Services, may collect the following types of personal information from you:

• Account and Profile Management. When you create a Ledge account, you provide us with personal information such as name, display or user handle, email address, and communication preference. We may also collect profile details you add to use the service and participate in events or experiences, including your selected game(s) and preferences.
• Event Participation. For players, when you purchase tickets to join or engage in an event or experience, we may collect your selections of raffle or competition activities, quest submissions, and any information you provide to verify participation where manual verification is used.
• Event Hosting. When you become a host and set up events such as tournaments, raffles, coaching or game playing sessions, we may collect any preferences or settings you configure when creating or managing events or experiences using the Host Dashboard for supported games and configure event parameters, including event titles, descriptions, ticket pricing, selected activities, prize structures, scheduling details, maximum participants, ticket type, activity type, and prize definitions.
• Payment and Wallet Information. We may collect payment information when you make deposits to your Ledge Wallet, purchase tickets for events or experiences, or initiate withdrawals of earnings or prize funds through supported payment processors. Payment processors may collect your name, email address related to your Ledge account, payment card information, billing address, and phone number.
• Customer Support. When you engage with our customer support, we may collect records, copies of your correspondence (including email addresses), or additional information you choose to share with us.
• Competition, Promotional Activity or Sweepstakes (“Promotion”). If you choose to participate in a Promotion through our Services, we will collect and store the personal information you provide in connection with your participation in the Promotion, which may include, your name, date of birth, address, email address, phone number, and/or other personal information identified in the Promotion terms. We use the information you provide to administer our promotions. We also may use the information to communicate with you about our products, services, and other promotions.
• Chatroom. When you join host-created chatrooms and pay to participate, we may collect account identifiers (such as your Ledge account ID, username, and linked platform handles), chat content and metadata (including messages you send, timestamps, and room participation details), and transaction details necessary to process entry fees.
• Feedback or Surveys. We may provide you the opportunity to participate in surveys or provide feedback about your experience using our Services. If you participate, we may request certain personal information from you, typically including contact information (such as name and email address). Participation in these surveys is entirely voluntary. We use this information to improve our services and product offerings.

Information We Automatically Collect. To the extent permitted under applicable law, we may automatically collect certain types of personal information about you when you use or interact with our Services.

• Game Metrics Data. We automatically collect game-related data to calculate rankings, monitor and validate quest completion progress when available via supported integrations, or through code-based or manual verification where automated collection is not available.
• Usage Data. When you browse our Sites, we automatically collect log data such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, domain names, referring and exit pages and URLs, pages viewed and the order of these page views, the date and time you access our servers, and other diagnostic data.
• Device Information. When you use your desktop or mobile devices to access our Services, we may be able to identify your device’s unique device identifier, MAC address, operating system, and your mobile device’s advertising ID.
• Location Data. When you use our Services, we may infer the generic physical location and geographic regions of your device from your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other device settings. For example, your IP address may indicate your general geographic region. We do not collect precise GPS data unless explicitly enabled by the user for specific features. You may choose not to share your location details with us by adjusting your mobile or desktop device’s location services settings. For instructions on changing the relevant settings, please contact your service provider or device manufacturer.

Information We Collect from Third Parties. From time to time, we may obtain information about you from third party sources as required or permitted by law. These sources may include:

• Third Party Gaming Platform You Connect. We may receive your personal information from third-party gaming platforms that you choose to connect to your Ledge account, such as RIOT, FACEIT or STEAM.
• Social Media. We may offer you the opportunity to engage with our content on or through third-party social networking websites, plug-ins and applications. When you engage with our content on or through third-party social networking websites, plug-ins and applications, you may allow us to have access to certain information associated with your social media account (e.g., name, username, email address, profile picture) to deliver the content or as part of the operation of the third-party website, plug-in or application. When you provide information from your social media account, we may use this information to personalize your experience on our Services and on the third-party social networking websites, plug-ins and applications, and to provide you with other products or services you may request.
• Other Individuals. We may receive certain information about you from people with whom you are friends or otherwise connected. Please note, if you provide us with information about someone else, please ensure you have the person’s permission to do so for the purposes detailed in this Privacy Policy.
• Single Sign-on (“SSO”). SSO is an authentication method that enables you to securely authenticate your login within multiple applications and websites by using one set of credentials. If you choose to login to our Services through a third-party platform (such as Discord, X, or Google) we may have access to certain information from that platform, such as your username or email address. The information we receive may vary based on your privacy settings on such platform or as otherwise controlled by the provider of such platform.

4. Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies

We and our service providers may automatically collect information from you when you use the Services using “cookies” and other tracking technologies to help us customize your experience and better manage content on our Sites and Apps, including to: (a) analyze our web traffic using an analytics package; (b) identify whether you already visited any of our affiliated websites; (c) store information about your preferences (e.g., cookie consent); and (d) to recognize when you return to our Services.

Cookies are small amounts of data that are stored within your computer’s Internet browser and that are accessed and recorded by the websites that you visit so that they can recognize the same browser navigating online at a later time. Information that may be collected by cookies when you use the Site may include, without limitation: the pages you visit within the Site; the date and time of your visit to the Website; the amount of time you spend using the Site; the IP address used to connect your computer to the Internet; and/or your computer and connection information such as your browser type and version, operating system and platform.

Generally, we use first-party and third-party cookies for the following purposes: to make our Services function properly; to provide a secure browsing experience during your use of our Services; to collect passive information about your use of our Services; to measure how you interact with our marketing campaigns; to help us improve our Services; and to remember your preferences for your convenience.

We may place cookies from third-party service providers who may use information about your visits to other websites to target advertisements for products and services available from us. We do not control the types of information collected and stored by these third-party cookies. You should check the third-party's website for more information on how they use cookies. We use the following types of cookies on our Services:

How to Manage Tracking Technologies

Browser Controls. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Sites although your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted. If you want to understand your browser’s cookie default setting, or learn to modify your browser’s cookie settings, please use the “Help,” “Tools” or “Edit” menu in your browser or review the instructions provided by the following browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Microsoft Edge
• Microsoft Internet Explorer
• Apple Safari Mobile
• Android Browser

Opting out of Third-Party Analytics. We may use third-party service providers to monitor and analyze the use of our online, web-based, and mobile-based Services, such as Google Analytics. Google Analytics is an analytics service offered by Google LLC (“Google”) that tracks and reports website traffic. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. To opt out of Google Analytics or to prevent your data from being collected and used by Google Analytics, please visit: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Disabling Most Interest Based Advertising.

Interest Based Advertising - Website Browser. Many advertising companies that collect information for interest-based advertising are members of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), which maintains websites where people can opt out of interest-based advertising from their members. To opt out of website interest-based advertising provided by each organization’s respective participating companies, visit the DAA’s opt-out portal available at http://optout.aboutads.info.

Do Not Track. Your browser may allow you to adjust your browser settings so that “do not track” requests are sent to the websites that you visit. However, since uniform standards for “DNT" signals have not been adopted, we do not disable tracking technology that may be active on the Websites in response to any “do not track” requests that we receive from your browser.

5. Security of Your Information

We take reasonable steps to use appropriate physical, technical and organizational measures to help safeguard your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction. To help protect your information, we use encryption to secure data while it is in transit between your device and our servers; offer account-level protections such as secure password requirements and optional two-step verification; regularly review our systems and security protocols, including access controls and physical safeguards, to help prevent unauthorized access to data; limit access to personal information to authorized Ledge personnel and service providers who require it in order to process or maintain the service. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline or termination if they fail to comply. Unfortunately, no security system is 100% secure, thus we cannot ensure the security of all information you provide to us via the Services.

6. Third Party Applications/Websites

The Services may have links to other websites that are not operated by us. We have no control over how these third-party websites may collect your information and no liability for the practices, policies and security measures implemented on these websites. You should read the privacy notices on those other websites before you submit your information through them.

YouTube API Services. Ledge uses YouTube API Services to power certain features of our platform, such as embedding video content and verifying event-related activity. When you interact with the YouTube functionality available through our Services, you will be subject to agree to the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms) and Privacy Policy (http://www.google.com/policies/privacy). When you connect your YouTube/Google account or interact with YouTube features on Ledge, we may access, collect, and store limited data from your account, such as your channel name, public profile information, and video or engagement data relevant to the events you participate in, solely to provide our event features. We do not share this data with third parties except as needed to operate the Services. You may revoke Ledge’s access to your YouTube data at any time via the Google security settings page (https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions), and you may request deletion of stored data by emailing Privacy@theledge.io.

7. Children

We understand the importance of protecting children’s privacy in the interactive world. Unless otherwise noted, our Services are not intended for individuals under the age of majority in the applicable jurisdictions, which includes for clarification, that our Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. Therefore, we do not knowingly process personal information from individuals under 18 years old. If you are under 18 years of age, you should not use the Sites and should not send any information about yourself to us through the Sites.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has provided us with information without your consent, and wish to review information collected from your child, or have that information modified or deleted, you may contact us via the method identified in the “How to Contact Us” section below. If we become aware that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information without parental consent, we will terminate that user’s access to our Service and take steps to delete such information from our systems, unless we have a legal obligation to keep it.

8. Retention

We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We will cease to retain your personal information or remove the means by which the personal information can be associated with you as soon as it is reasonable to assume that such retention no longer serves the purpose for which the personal information was collected and is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you services, we may still retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

9. Your Choices

Within your Ledge account, you can review and adjust how certain types of personal information are collected, stored, and used, as well as manage your connections to third-party platforms. When you are signed in, you can review and update your account details, wallet balance, notification settings and connected platform settings. We are committed to providing clear options for how your information is handled, and we encourage you to review these settings regularly to ensure they reflect your preferences.

• Correct or Update Your Information. If you have created a user account through the Services, you will have the ability to access, update and correct the personal information you have provided in connection with your account by logging into your account through the Services. You may also control who can see your public profile or content associated with your account.

  • Using the unsubscribe function in the email you receive from us;
  • Contacting us as set forth under “How To Contact Us” below.

If your account is linked to third-party platforms (such as social media or gaming platforms), you also have the option to manage what information is shared between Ledge and those external services. These controls allow you to disconnect integrations or limit the type of content exchanged.
