Sharing your phone number with your opponent: When a match is scheduled, your phone number is shown ONLY to your opponent in that match (as a WhatsApp link) so that you can coordinate the time and place. This sharing is a necessary part of the match organization service; no other user can see your number. If you do not want this, you can contact us at iletisim@kortmeydani.com.

Social media posts: Match photos you share in the app may be used on Kort Meydanı's social media accounts (e.g. Instagram) to promote the community (weekly recaps, tournament announcements, etc.). If you prefer not to, you can turn this off at any time in the app under Profile → "Privacy"; once turned off, your photos will not be used in future posts. You may request removal of a published post via iletisim@kortmeydani.com.
