1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use our Service and mobile application, we collect the following types of information:

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide

Account & Profile Information: When you register an account, join our VIP service, or authenticate via Google, Facebook, or Apple social login, we collect your verified name, email address, and optional avatar image.

Match Alert Preferences: Optional phone numbers or messaging handles provided when opting into free match alerts and newsletters.

B. Information Collected Automatically

Device & App Characteristics: Device model, operating system version, browser type, unique device identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID), network operator, and screen resolution.
Log & Usage Data: Pages or screens viewed, time spent, click events, fixture lookups, and referring URLs.
Approximate Location: Coarse country- and city-level geographic data derived from your IP address to display localized league kickoffs and timezones (e.g. West Africa Time). We do not collect precise GPS coordinates.
Cookies & Local Storage: Small text files and app cache keys stored on your device to maintain your session, language preferences, and filter settings.

2. Android App Permissions & Data Access

Our Android mobile application is built with privacy-by-design and requests only minimal necessary device permissions:

INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required to fetch live odds, prediction data, and fixture updates from our secure API servers.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS: (Optional) Used solely to deliver requested daily match previews, accumulator alerts, or kickoff reminders. You may disable notifications at any time in your device settings.
WAKE_LOCK & FOREGROUND_SERVICE: Used only when syncing live match scores and offline cache in the background.

3. How We Use Your Information

We process your data for legitimate business and operational purposes:

To operate, maintain, and deliver our sports prediction engine and accumulator builder.
To manage user accounts, authenticate logins, and gate VIP subscriber features.
To personalize timezone displays, featured regional leagues, and language translation.
To monitor app health, prevent abuse, investigate bot traffic, and debug runtime exceptions.
To send service updates, transaction receipts, and marketing communications (with opt-out capabilities).

4. Third-Party Services & SDKs

We work with trusted third-party service providers who process data on our behalf under strict data protection terms:

Analytics & Performance: Google Analytics (GA4) / Firebase to understand aggregated user engagement and diagnose app stability.
Hosting & CDN Infrastructure: Secure cloud servers and Cloudflare CDN for edge caching, DDOS mitigation, and content delivery.
Payment Processors: Paystack, Flutterwave, and authorized app store billing systems. We never store or process raw credit card numbers on our servers.

5. Data Retention & User Deletion Rights

Our Service is intended strictly for individuals aged 18 years or older (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 18 where sports betting content is restricted). If we learn that a minor has provided us with personal data, we will promptly delete that information from our servers.

7. Security of Your Information

We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—including SSL/TLS 256-bit encryption in transit, strict database access controls, and parameterized queries—to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
