Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Predicta FC ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you use the Predicta FC mobile application and web app (together, the "App"), including when you sign in, join leagues, submit match predictions, and view rankings. By using the App, you acknowledge this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
For terms governing use of the App, see our Terms & Conditions.
1. Who is responsible for your data?
The data controller for personal information processed through Predicta FC is the app publisher operating Predicta FC. For privacy requests, contact us using the details in Section 16.
2. Information we collect
Depending on how you use the App, we may collect the following categories of information:
- Account and profile data: display name, email address, authentication identifiers, profile photo (if you upload one), optional country or language preferences, and related account settings.
- App activity and competition data: match predictions, scores or points, league and tournament participation, invite links you create or use, rankings, and other content you submit in connection with prediction features.
- Technical and usage data: device type, operating system, app version, general usage events (such as screens visited and feature interactions), crash or performance-related diagnostics where available, and approximate region inferred from technical signals.
- Advertising-related data: on supported platforms, advertising partners may collect or receive device identifiers, IP address, cookie or similar identifiers, and information about ad delivery and interaction to show and measure ads.
- Local preferences: language or locale choices may be stored on your device (for example via local storage or similar mechanisms) to remember your settings.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of data (such as health, biometric, or precise geolocation for tracking) as part of the core App experience. Please do not submit sensitive personal information through the App.
3. How we collect information
- Directly from you when you register, sign in, edit your profile, upload a photo, join or create leagues, or submit predictions.
- Automatically when you use the App, including through analytics and security logs provided by our infrastructure partners.
- From third-party sign-in if you choose Google Sign-In (we receive basic profile information permitted by your Google account settings).
- From advertising partners when ads are displayed, subject to their policies and your device or browser settings.
4. How we use your information
We use personal information to:
- create and manage your account and authenticate you;
- provide prediction, league, ranking, and related competition features;
- sync your profile and activity across devices where you use the same account;
- display optional profile photos and public or league-visible competition data;
- improve, secure, and troubleshoot the App;
- understand usage through analytics;
- show advertising on supported versions of the App;
- comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms;
- respond to support requests and communicate important service updates.
5. Legal bases (EEA, UK, and Switzerland)
If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we process personal data only where we have a valid legal basis under applicable law, including:
- Contract: to provide the App and features you request (account, predictions, leagues, rankings).
- Legitimate interests: to secure the App, prevent abuse, improve features, and measure aggregated usage, balanced against your rights.
- Consent: where required for non-essential cookies, certain analytics, or personalized advertising—You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
- Legal obligation: where we must retain or disclose information to comply with law.
6. Third-party services
We use trusted service providers to operate the App. They process data on our instructions and subject to contractual safeguards where required. These include, among others:
- Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, Analytics)—for account management, data storage, and usage measurement. See Firebase Privacy.
- Google Sign-In—if you choose to sign in with Google. See Google Privacy Policy.
- Google AdMob (mobile apps)—for in-app advertising. See AdMob & Privacy.
- Google AdSense (web version)—for advertising on the web app. See How Google uses data in advertising.
- Apple App Store / Google Play—if you obtain the App through a store, their terms and privacy practices apply to store transactions and device-level settings.
Third-party privacy policies govern their independent processing. We encourage you to review those policies and use platform ad and privacy settings where available.
7. Advertising
The App may show ads to support free access. On mobile, ads may be served through Google AdMob. On the web, ads may be served through Google AdSense. Advertising partners may use cookies, mobile advertising identifiers, or similar technologies to deliver, personalize (where permitted), cap frequency, and measure ads.
Where required by law, we will request your consent before enabling personalized advertising or non-essential tracking. You can also limit ad personalization through your device or browser settings (for example, "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS, advertising ID controls on Android, or browser cookie controls on web).
California and similar U.S. state disclosures: We do not sell your personal information for money. Some advertising-related sharing (for example, allowing partners to show ads using online identifiers) may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under certain U.S. state laws. Where those laws apply, you may have the right to opt out of such sharing. To exercise that right, contact us at the email below or use available platform opt-out tools.
8. Cookies and similar technologies (web)
When you use the web version of Predicta FC, we and our partners may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, measure traffic, and support advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect App functionality.
9. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:
- with service providers listed in Section 6, under confidentiality and data-processing terms;
- with other users, as part of normal App features (for example, display name, points, or predictions visible in a league or ranking);
- if required by law, court order, or governmental request;
- to protect rights, safety, and security of users, us, or others;
- in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to this Policy.
10. International data transfers
We and our providers may process and store information in countries other than where you live, including the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. When we transfer personal data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms, where required.
11. Data retention and account deletion
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide the App, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Account and competition data are generally retained while your account is active. Some information may persist in backups or logs for a limited period after deletion.
If you want to delete your account and associated personal data, send an email to modernlogicapps@gmail.com from the email address linked to your account, with the subject line "Account Deletion Request" and enough information for us to verify your identity. We will process valid requests within the timeframes required by applicable law.
12. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights, subject to applicable law:
- Access—request a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Rectification—correct inaccurate or incomplete information (you can also update much of your profile in the App).
- Erasure—request deletion of your account and personal data, where applicable.
- Restriction or objection—object to or ask us to limit certain processing, including direct marketing where applicable.
- Portability—receive certain data in a structured, commonly used format.
- Withdraw consent—where processing is based on consent.
- Opt out of targeted advertising / "sale" or "sharing"—for residents of certain U.S. states, as described in Section 7.
- Non-discrimination—we will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights where prohibited by law.
EEA, UK, and Switzerland: You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. A list of EU supervisory authorities is available from the European Data Protection Board.
To exercise your rights (including erasure), email us at modernlogicapps@gmail.com with the subject line "Privacy Request" and enough information to verify your account. To delete your account and associated data, use the process described in Section 11. We may need to confirm your identity before responding. We aim to respond within the timeframes required by applicable law (for example, one month under GDPR, or as required under U.S. state laws).
14. Children
Predicta FC is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in some EEA countries where that age applies for information society services without parental consent). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the applicable minimum age. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us at modernlogicapps@gmail.com and we will take steps to delete it.
15. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do. Material changes may also be communicated in the App or by other reasonable means. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Policy, unless otherwise required by law.
