PRIVACY POLICY

1. Information We Collect

FIFA WC26 Squares is committed to safeguarding your privacy. We prioritize data minimization, collecting only the absolute necessary metrics to operate our interactive features:

• Anonymous Match Comments: We do not ask for personal details. Any comments you post on the dashboard live chat are published anonymously under a temporary nickname of your choice or a default anonymous fan ID.
• Match Predictions: When you cast prediction votes (Home Win, Draw, Away Win), your choice is recorded anonymously to aggregate local tallies and compute percentages.
• Configuration Storage: Your active score tracking settings and custom API keys (if you set up API-Football or Football-Data.org) are stored locally in your browser cache or mobile SharedPreferences.

2. How We Use Information

We process anonymous logs and preferences solely to:

• Maintain the live comment boards and keep conversations synchronized.
• Display interactive outcome prediction charts for each game.
• Drive lock screen updates (ActivityKit) and ongoing background service notifications.

3. Content Moderation & Safety

To provide a friendly environment for soccer fans, all comments run through a local content filter. Text containing slurs, swear words, or racist/discriminatory terms is detected and blocked prior to submission.

4. Security of API Credentials

Your API keys are stored solely in your client browser/mobile device. Requests to external football APIs are sent directly from your device. We do not store or transmit your tokens to any centralized database.
