Who we are
AUN ("Ace Up Next") is a pre-launch sports technology service. We are currently operating as an early access waitlist at aunweplay.com, collecting sign-ups ahead of our Q2 2026 product launch.
For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the data controller is the individual or entity operating the AUN early access programme. Data controller contact: Get in touch →.
Data we collect
When you submit the early access form at aunweplay.com/join.html, we collect two categories of data:
A — Data you provide directly
| Field | Why we ask | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | To address you personally in our launch communications | Yes |
| Email address | To contact you about early access and the product launch | Yes |
| Role | Player, Club, Organiser or Other — to tailor communications to your use case | No |
| Sports you play | To understand which sports the community plays, for product prioritisation | No |
| Country & city | To understand where our users are, for launch planning and market prioritisation | Country yes, city no |
| Postal code | For more precise regional planning | No |
| Free-text notes | Any additional context you choose to share (club name, questions, ideas) | No |
B — Data collected automatically when you submit
| Data point | Source | Why we collect it |
|---|---|---|
| IP address | Server | Fraud prevention and spam filtering |
| Approximate location | IP geolocation via ip-api.com | To verify the location you selected and understand our user geography. City-level accuracy, not GPS. |
| Internet Service Provider (ISP) | IP lookup | Fraud and bot detection |
| Device platform | Browser | To understand how users access the site |
| Screen resolution & viewport | Browser | To improve form design and responsiveness |
| Browser language | Browser | To understand which languages our users prefer |
| Timezone | Browser (Intl API) | Additional confirmation of user location for launch planning |
| Touch capability | Browser | To distinguish mobile from desktop users |
| Connection type | Browser | To understand connectivity of our user base |
| Full user agent string | Browser | Browser and OS identification for technical analytics |
| Submission timestamp | Browser + Server | Record of when the sign-up was made |
| Page URL & referrer | Browser | To understand which source drove the sign-up |
All data is stored in a JSON log file on our server and sent to our team email address. No third-party analytics platform, advertising pixel, or tracking tag is used on this website.
What we do not collect: phone numbers, home address, payment data, precise real-time GPS coordinates, contacts from your device, social media profiles, or any biometric data.
How we use it
We use the data collected exclusively for the following purposes:
- Early access communications — to email you before and at launch with your early access invitation, product updates, and onboarding information
- Launch planning — to understand which cities, countries, and sports to prioritise at launch
- Product development — aggregate, non-identifiable analysis of which roles and sports are most common
- Fraud and spam prevention — to detect and remove duplicate or bot-generated submissions
- Legal compliance — to retain records as required by applicable law
We do not use your data for advertising, behavioural profiling, sale or rental to any third party, or any purpose not listed above.
