Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 26, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Dobro. We are a premium sports session platform that enables athletes and casual players to coordinate games, track performance, share highlights, and build communities through Circles.

Our platform facilitates:

  • Real-time sports session creation and scoring
  • Circle-based communities for team coordination
  • Performance tracking and statistics
  • Video highlight capture and sharing
  • Live streaming of athletic events

Because Dobro captures and hosts user-generated media content including video, audio, and images, this Privacy Policy explains in detail how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information and likeness.
