Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

2026 World Cup Data Platform (the "Platform", "we", "us", or "our") recognizes the importance of your personal information and is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to all products and services provided by the Platform, including the website (domain and related subpages), mobile‑optimized pages, API data services, and user feedback systems. By accessing or using the Platform, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use the Platform.

2. Information We Collect

To provide you with fixture data, AI predictions, live scores and other services, we may collect the following information in the following scenarios:

• Information you voluntarily provide: When you contact us via feedback, customer service, or business cooperation, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message.
• Information collected automatically: When you visit the Platform, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including IP address, browser type and version, operating system, access time, referrer URL, page views, and browsing behavior. This data is used to analyze user trends, improve platform performance and security.
• Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies to remember your preferences, optimize loading speed, and count visits. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, but some features may be limited.
• Information from third‑party sources: We may obtain basic team/player information from public sources or authorized data suppliers to improve our database. Such information does not identify you personally.

We do not actively collect sensitive personal information (such as ID numbers, bank accounts, precise geolocation). If service upgrades ever require such collection, we will obtain your explicit consent in advance.

3. How We Use Information

The information we collect is used only for the following legitimate purposes:

• Providing, maintaining, and improving the Platform's functions (e.g., replying to your messages, sending fixture reminders);
• Analyzing user behavior to improve interface design and content recommendations;
• Ensuring platform security, detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, or illegal activities;
• Complying with laws and regulations or responding to legal process;
• With your explicit consent, sending you World‑cup‑related news or surveys (you may opt out at any time).

We do not use your personal information for any commercial activity unrelated to the above purposes, nor do we engage in automated decision‑making or user profiling.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We will not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any non‑affiliated third party except in the following circumstances:

• With your explicit consent or authorization;
• Legal requirements: Disclosure compelled by government authorities or judicial bodies;
• Third‑party service providers: We may engage technical partners (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics tools) to process certain data, but they may only perform tasks on our behalf and are bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations;
• Platform operations: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, we will require the receiving party to continue to comply with this Privacy Policy.

Analytical content provided by the Platform (e.g., team ratings, AI predictions) is aggregated and de‑identified – it does not reverse‑identify individuals.

5. Information Storage and Protection

Your personal information will be stored on secure servers located in mainland China. We implement industry‑standard security measures, including encrypted transmission (TLS/SSL), access controls, firewalls, and intrusion detection, to prevent loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. However, please understand that the internet is not an absolutely secure environment, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. After the retention period expires, we will delete or anonymize your information.

6. Cookie Policy

The Platform uses cookies to enhance user experience. We set the following types:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for basic website functions (e.g., navigation, language preferences) – cannot be disabled;
• Analytical cookies: Used to anonymously count page views and clicks, helping us improve content layout;
• Functional cookies: Record your preferences, such as whether you have closed a notice box.

You can reject or delete cookies through your browser's privacy settings, but please note that some features may not function properly. We do not use third‑party advertising cookies or cross‑site tracking technologies.
