Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly and information collected automatically:

• Account information: email address and password when you register.
• Profile information: display name you choose for the leaderboard.
• Prediction data: draft picks and mock drafts you submit.
• Communications: messages you send us (e.g., support emails).
• Usage data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring URLs, and device identifiers — collected automatically via cookies and similar technologies.
• Advertising data: interaction data collected by third-party ad networks (see Section 3).

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your account and authenticate you.
• To operate the draft prediction contest, calculate scores, and display leaderboards.
• To send transactional emails (e.g., password reset, contest notifications).
• To improve and personalize the Service.
• To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and violations of our Terms.
• To comply with legal obligations.

Public information: Your display name and contest scores are visible to other users on the leaderboard by design. Choose your display name accordingly.

3. Third-Party Advertising & Cookies

We use Google AdSense and may use other third-party advertising services. These services use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your browsing activity on this and other sites. This does not include your name, email, or account credentials.

• You can review Google's ad policies at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
• Opt out of personalized Google ads via Google Ads Settings.
• Opt out of third-party ad networks via the NAI opt-out tool.

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:

• Service providers: Supabase (database hosting), Vercel (hosting), and other infrastructure providers who process data on our behalf under confidentiality obligations.
• Advertising partners: anonymized or aggregated data for ad measurement purposes.
• Law enforcement: when required by law, court order, or to protect rights and safety.
• Business transfers: if SAKFootball is acquired or merges with another entity, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account and prediction data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us. We may retain certain data as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., fraud prevention).

6. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure password hashing, and access controls. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security but take reasonable steps to protect your data.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we learn that we have collected data from a child under 18, we will delete it promptly.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Data portability (where applicable).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@sakfootball.com.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new policy on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
