SoccerFacts – Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2025-11-20

This Privacy Policy describes how EnragedTomatoStudios (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the SoccerFacts mobile application (the “App”).

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We do not require you to create an account or provide your name, email address, or other direct personal identifiers in order to use the App.

However, we and our service providers may collect the following types of information:

Usage Data

• Facts viewed, favorites added or removed, shares initiated, and other in-app actions.
• Frequency and duration of your use of the App.
• Basic information about your device and operating system (for example, device model, OS version, language, country/region).

Advertising Data

• Google AdMob may collect information such as your advertising ID, IP address, approximate location, device identifiers, and information about your interaction with ads (e.g. ad impressions, clicks).

Analytics Data

• Firebase Analytics may collect event information about how you use the App (e.g. screens viewed, buttons tapped, ads watched).
• This data is generally aggregated and used to understand app performance and usage patterns.

Notifications and Preferences

• Your notification settings (whether notifications are enabled, preferred time for daily reminders).
• Locally stored preferences such as your sharing message, theme, and other settings.
• Some analytics events related to notifications (e.g. when notifications are scheduled or opened).

Local Storage

• Favorites, notification settings, and some analytics backup data are stored on your device using local storage (AsyncStorage). This data is normally not shared directly with us and can be cleared by deleting the App or clearing the App’s data from your device settings.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

• To operate and provide the core features of the App (displaying facts, saving favorites, enabling sharing, sending notifications).
• To show ads and measure ad performance (through Google AdMob).
• To understand how the App is used and improve it over time (through Firebase Analytics and local analytics logs).
• To fix bugs, monitor performance, and maintain the security and stability of the App.
• To send daily reminders and other notifications if you enable them in the App.

3. Advertising and Analytics

We use third-party services to serve ads and collect analytics:

Google AdMob (Advertising)

• Used to display banner and rewarded ads.
• Google may use the collected data to personalize ads to you or to show non-personalized ads, depending on your device settings and applicable regulations.
• For more information about how Google processes data for advertising, please see:
  https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

Firebase Analytics (Analytics)

• Used to collect information about how you use the App (for example, which screens are most popular, how often users reach the daily fact limit, etc.).
• This helps us improve features and overall user experience.
• For more information, please see:
  https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

Your device or operating system may allow you to limit ad tracking or reset your advertising ID. You can also manage your Google ad settings at:
https://adssettings.google.com

4. Notifications

The App uses push and local notifications to send daily reminders about new facts and other messages related to the App.

• You can enable or disable notifications and choose a preferred time for daily notifications within the App settings.
• You can also control notifications at the system level through your device’s operating system settings.
• We may collect basic analytics related to notifications (for example, when they are scheduled or opened) to improve timing and content.

5. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to:

• Provide and maintain the App.
• Analyze usage and improve the App.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our rights.

In practice:

• Local data such as favorites and preferences remain on your device until you remove the App or clear its data.
• Analytics and ad data are retained according to the policies of Google (AdMob and Firebase).

6. Data Sharing

We may share information in the following situations:

• Service Providers: We use Google (AdMob, Firebase) and other technical providers to deliver ads, analytics, and infrastructure services. These providers process data on our behalf and according to their own privacy policies.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Privacy Policy.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

7. Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required by applicable law in your region, such as 16 in some countries).

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the details below, and we will take steps to delete such information.

8. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information processed through the App from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, such as:

• The right to access and obtain a copy of your personal data.
• The right to request correction or deletion of your personal data.
• The right to object to, or request restriction of, certain processing.
• The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the email below. We may ask you to provide additional information to verify your identity.

You can also control or limit certain data collection by:

• Adjusting your device’s privacy settings (e.g., reset advertising ID, limit ad tracking, disable personalized ads).
• Disabling analytics or ad personalization in Google settings where available.
• Managing notifications in both the App and your device settings.
• Uninstalling the App, which removes locally stored data from your device.

10. International Transfers

Your information may be processed and stored on servers located outside of your country or region, including countries that may have data protection laws different from those in your jurisdiction.

We take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place when information is transferred internationally, as required by applicable law.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” at the top of this page.
