Privacy Policy

Effective: September 16, 2026 App: SpotKing (com.spotking.app)
The short version SpotKing collects the minimum data needed to run the app — your account info, the spots you add, and your location when you use the map. We don't sell your data. We don't show ads. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the app.

Who We Are

SpotKing is a mobile app for skaters, surfers, and surf-skaters to discover, add, and compete at spots. The app is operated by Golden Boy Develops, based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. You can reach us at support@spotking.app.
