About Us & Our Services
Predict the Football is an online football predictor game operating as a data controller. Users may play games and access features like mini-leagues and direct messaging.
If you have any questions about how we handle your data, please contact us using our contact form. We aim to respond within 30 working days but will usually be in touch much sooner.
How We Use Your Personal Information
We believe in minimising the data we collect and limiting its use to only what is needed to deliver our services or for legal compliance.
Delivering and Updating the Services We Provide to You
Your data enables us to provide you with access to our services, maintain website operation, ensure security, improve performance, diagnose problems, identify risks, prevent fraud and abuse, collect usage statistics, and analyse service interactions.
Transferring Personal Data Abroad
The hosting, email sending and other technical provisions for our website are situated in Ireland. If you are located outside of Ireland, your data may be transferred internationally to provide our services.
Complying With Legal, Regulatory and Law Enforcement Requests
We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials and will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.
Website Analytics
We do not use Google Analytics or any other third-party analytics service, and we set no tracking cookies. The only cookies we set are the ones needed to keep you signed in and to protect forms against cross-site request forgery. If that ever changes, this policy will be updated before it does.
Advertising
We serve no advertising, and no third-party advertising script runs on this site, so nothing here builds an interest profile of you or shares your data with an advertising network. Should we ever need to carry advertising to cover our hosting costs, it will be fixed, clearly marked slots — never on the pages where you enter your predictions — and this policy will be updated, and your cookie consent asked for, before any of it appears.
Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites.
Your Rights
As a user, you have several rights regarding your personal data:
- Requesting access to the information we hold about you
- Correcting any inaccurate data
- Deleting your account via "Edit Profile" > "Delete Account"
- Restricting how we process your data
- Data portability
- Objecting to marketing and automated processing
- Complaint recourse
How We Take Care of Your Data
We implement appropriate, generally accepted technical and organisational measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure.
How Long We Retain Your Data (and How to Delete It From Our Servers)
Data retention follows legal obligations and legitimate business purposes. You can delete your account at any time via "Edit Profile" > "Delete Account". Complete data purge occurs within 14 days.
Changes to This Policy
Changes to this policy will be communicated via email or homepage notices. Continued use of the site signifies your consent to any updates.
