1. Overview

Welcome to World Cup 2026 ("the App", "we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy applies to the World Cup 2026 Android application developed and operated by us, available on the Google Play Store.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your information when you use our App.

By downloading or using the World Cup 2026 app, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

✅ Simple summary: We collect minimal data needed to make the app work. We do not sell your personal data to anyone, ever.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information when you use our App:

2.1 Information You Provide

When you contact us via email, we collect your name and email address solely to respond to your inquiry.
We do not require you to create an account to use the App.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

Device Information: Device type, operating system version, and unique device identifiers.
Usage Data: Which features you use, how often you open the app, and general interaction patterns.
Crash Reports: If the app crashes, we may collect technical data to help us fix the issue.
Network Information: Whether your device is connected to the internet (to serve live data).

2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect your name, address, phone number, payment information, location data (GPS), photos, contacts, microphone or camera data.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes only:

To provide and maintain the functionality of the App (e.g., displaying live match data, standings and fixtures)
To diagnose technical problems and fix bugs or crashes
To understand how users interact with the App so we can improve it
To respond to your support requests or emails
To ensure the App works correctly on your device

⚠️ We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Advertising data used by third-party ad networks (such as AdMob) is governed by their own privacy policies, not ours.

4. Third-Party Services

The App may use the following third-party services which have their own Privacy Policies. We encourage you to review them:

4.1 Google Play Services

The App is distributed through Google Play. Google may collect certain data as described in Google's Privacy Policy.

4.2 Football Data API

We use a third-party sports data API (football-data.org) to fetch live match data, standings and fixtures. This API receives only anonymous requests — your personal information is never sent to it.

4.3 No Advertising Networks

✅ The World Cup 2026 app may display advertisements served by third-party ad networks (such as Google AdMob), and may offer in-app purchases in the future. Advertising SDKs may collect certain identifiers as described in their own privacy policies.

5. Data Storage and Security

We take the security of your data seriously and implement appropriate technical measures:

Local Storage: Match data, standings and player information are cached locally on your device using a secure local database (Room DB) so the app works offline.
No Cloud Accounts: We do not store personal user accounts or user-generated content on any server.
Encrypted Connections: All communications between the App and external data sources use HTTPS encryption.
Data Retention: Locally cached data is stored only on your device and can be cleared at any time by uninstalling the App.

While we implement reasonable security measures, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Children's Privacy

The World Cup 2026 app is suitable for users of all ages, including children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction).

The App does not require account registration and does not include social features or communications between users. The App may display advertisements and may offer in-app purchases in the future.

✅ The app is designed to be family-friendly. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Parents should be aware that the app may display advertisements and offer in-app purchases.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at orafahad@gmail.com and we will take steps to delete such information.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access: You can request information about what data (if any) we hold about you.
Right to Deletion: You can request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. Since we collect minimal data, this can typically be achieved by uninstalling the App.
Right to Correction: If you believe any information we hold about you is inaccurate, you can ask us to correct it.
Right to Object: You can object to our processing of your personal data.
GDPR Rights: If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation.
CCPA Rights: If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at orafahad@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App or applicable laws. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

📢 If we make significant changes that affect how we handle your data, we will notify users through the App or via the Google Play Store listing.
