5. The Service

5.1 Description

SlopSpotter is a gamified application that challenges users to distinguish between real photographs and AI-generated images. The Service includes multiple game modes, adaptive difficulty systems, scoring, badges, leaderboards, and performance analytics.

5.2 Availability

We strive to keep the Service available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, server issues, or circumstances beyond our control. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without prior notice.

6. User Content & Data

6.1 Your Gameplay Data

When you use the Service, you generate gameplay data including but not limited to: image judgments, response times, accuracy metrics, scores, streaks, session data, and performance patterns (collectively, "Gameplay Data").

6.2 License Grant

By using the Service, you grant SlopSpotter a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, distribute, and create derivative works from your Gameplay Data for the following purposes:

  • Operating, maintaining, and improving the Service
  • Personalizing your gameplay experience (adaptive difficulty, deck building, performance insights)
  • Conducting internal research and analytics
  • Training, developing, and improving artificial intelligence and machine learning models, whether for our own use or for third parties
  • Sharing de-identified or aggregated data with research partners, academic institutions, and commercial entities
  • Any other purpose described in our Privacy Policy

6.3 De-Identification

When Gameplay Data is shared with third parties, it will be de-identified — meaning your username, email, and account information are stripped. Once data has been de-identified and shared, it cannot be recalled or deleted, as it is no longer associated with your identity.

6.4 User Representations

You represent and warrant that you have the right to grant the licenses described above and that your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

7. Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time through the in-app account settings. Upon deletion:

  • Your personal account information (username, email, profile) will be permanently deleted
  • The association between your identity and your gameplay sessions will be permanently severed
  • Your scores will be removed from public leaderboards
  • Gameplay Data that has already been de-identified, aggregated, or shared with third parties prior to deletion will not be affected, as it is no longer linked to your identity

Account deletion is irreversible. We cannot restore deleted accounts or recover lost data.

8. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or our systems
  • Use bots, scripts, automated tools, or any non-human means to interact with the Service
  • Manipulate scores, leaderboards, or gameplay mechanics through exploits or cheating
