FOOTB respects your privacy: we do not collect personal identifying information, do not sell data to third parties, and require no account registration or password to use our services.
1. Data Controller
The FOOTB application and platform (hosted on the footb.app domain) are published and operated in strict compliance with applicable personal data protection regulations, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR 2016/679) and official platform guidelines from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
2. Data We Collect
We minimize data collection to the absolute technical minimum required for proper service operation:
- Anonymous Technical Identifier (UUID): Generated locally on your device during initial use to preserve your sport prediction history and preferences. This identifier is purely technical and never linked to any real-world identity.
- Anonymous Push Token: If you explicitly enable notifications, an anonymous token assigned by Apple (APNs) or Google (FCM) is stored to dispatch match events (goals, red cards, kick-off alerts).
- Transient AI Voice Prompt Requests: When copying or launching voice prompts for Gemini Live or ChatGPT Voice, match parameters (lineups, xG, match minute) are formatted on the fly and never stored alongside personal identities.
3. What We NEVER Collect
- ❌ No real names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses.
- ❌ No financial or banking details (the application is completely free and conducts no financial transactions).
- ❌ No precise real-time GPS geolocation.
- ❌ No access to device contacts, photos, or media files.
4. Purpose of Data Processing
Anonymous technical metrics are used exclusively to:
- Deliver real-time football scores, xG metrics, and tactical analyses.
- Display personal prediction accuracy metrics (success rate, streaks).
- Send push notifications for matches you have chosen to follow.
- Prevent technical abuse and safeguard infrastructure security.
5. Sharing with Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade user data to advertising brokers or marketing intermediaries.
Data transmission is strictly limited to essential infrastructure partners:
- Secure Cloud Infrastructure: API hosting and reverse proxies on certified dedicated servers (Hetzner Germany / France).
- Push Notification Infrastructure: Apple Push Notification service (APNs) and Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).
6. Data Security and Encryption
All communication between client devices and our servers is encrypted end-to-end using HTTPS / TLS 1.3 and secure WebSockets (WSS). Cryptographic integrity signatures (SHA-256) protect data transmissions against alteration or interception.
7. User Rights and Data Deletion
In accordance with GDPR standards and app store policies, you retain full sovereignty over your data:
- Instant Local Deletion: You can reset all local history and cached data at any time by clearing application data in your device settings or deleting the app.
- Revoking Notifications: Push notification permissions can be revoked at any time via your device's operating system settings.
- Privacy Support: For questions regarding data practices, contact us at: [email protected].
