FootPicks ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly when you create an account or use our services:

• Account data: First name, last name, and email address when you register.
• Payment data: When you purchase a Pro subscription, your payment is processed by Stripe. We store a payment reference ID and amount, but we never store your card details.
• Usage data: Predictions viewed, tickets saved, and game history interactions are stored to provide the service.

We also collect limited technical data automatically:

• Browser type and version
• Approximate geographic region (country-level only, inferred from IP)
• Pages visited and time spent on the site

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your account
• To provide access to Pro features upon purchase
• To store your saved parlay tickets and game prediction history
• To improve the accuracy and quality of our AI predictions
• To respond to your enquiries or support requests

We do not sell your personal data to third parties, and we do not use it for advertising.

3. Data Storage

Your account data and tickets are stored in a secured MySQL database hosted on a private server. We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit (HTTPS/TLS). Passwords are stored as bcrypt hashes — we never store your password in plain text.

Some preferences (such as betslip selections) are stored in your browser's local storage and never transmitted to our servers.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third parties to operate the service:

• Stripe — Payment processing. Stripe's privacy policy applies to data processed during checkout. We only receive a payment confirmation and reference ID.
• The Odds API — We fetch real-time sports odds from this service. No personal data is shared with them.
• Google Fonts — We load the Roboto typeface from Google's CDN. Google may log font requests per their own privacy policy.

5. Cookies

We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies. Session data (your login state) is stored in your browser's local storage and is not a cookie. We do not use any third-party analytics or advertising networks.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account exists. If you request deletion of your account, your personal data will be permanently removed from our database within 30 days. Anonymised usage statistics may be retained indefinitely.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Data portability (receive a copy of your data in a structured format)

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the address below.

8. Children's Privacy

FootPicks is intended for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has registered, please contact us immediately and we will remove the account.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected with an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
