Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Football Today ("Football Today", "we", "us", or "our") provides a Chrome browser extension, website, landing pages, welcome pages, and related API services that deliver football scores, fixtures, standings, favorites, and related football information.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, how long we keep it, and the choices you have. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use Football Today.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to provide, secure, operate, and improve Football Today.

2.1 Google sign-in and account information

If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive basic account information from Google, such as:

• Name or display name
• Email address
• Google account identifier
• Profile picture, if available
• Email verification status

We use Google OAuth for sign-in. We do not collect or store your Google password. We do not request access to Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Google Photos, or other Google content services. A temporary Google access token may be sent to our server only to verify your sign-in and create or maintain your Football Today session.

2.2 Extension installation and service access information

When the extension communicates with our services, we may collect technical and service-access information, including:

• A pseudonymous extension installation identifier
• Extension version, client mode, source, and similar client metadata
• Authentication and session information needed to secure requests
• Timestamps and service request metadata
• Football request context, such as selected league, fixture, season, date, date range, round, standings or fixtures route, and timezone

We use this information to operate the extension, return the right football data, prevent abuse, troubleshoot issues, and understand whether the service is working correctly.

2.3 Website, landing page, and install-funnel analytics

When you visit our website, landing page, welcome page, or related install-flow pages, we may collect limited event information such as:

• Page view events
• Clicks on install or Chrome Web Store call-to-action buttons
• Campaign parameters, such as UTM source, medium, campaign, content, and term
• Referrer domain or host
• Page path and hash
• Pseudonymous page, journey, and event identifiers generated for a page visit or install-flow step
• Call-to-action placement and destination
• Post-install welcome metadata, such as install identifier, source key, client mode, and extension version

We use this information to understand whether the landing page is opened, how users arrive there, whether the install button is clicked, and whether the extension install flow is working.

For the website and install-flow pages, we do not use cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, browser fingerprinting, or third-party advertising tags to create persistent web analytics identifiers.

Our web attribution events are designed not to include full page URLs, full referrer URLs, page titles, email addresses, authentication tokens, install secrets, cookies, localStorage identifiers, sessionStorage identifiers, or browser fingerprints.

2.4 Extension usage, reliability, and permission signals

We may collect limited signals from the extension that help us operate and improve the product, including:

• Extension install, startup, lifecycle, and uninstall-related events
• Whether the extension panel is opened, active, hidden, or manually refreshed
• Approximate interaction and duration signals for product reliability
• Permission-related results, such as whether a requested Chrome permission was granted or denied
• Error, performance, diagnostic, and abuse-prevention signals

These signals are used to maintain the service, diagnose problems, improve product quality, and detect misuse. We do not use them to monitor the contents of websites you visit.

2.5 Favorites, preferences, and user settings

If you use favorites or account-based setup features, we may store information such as your selected favorite team identifiers, their order, and related preferences. Some settings may be stored locally in Chrome storage on your device, while account-based settings may be sent to our services so they can be restored or synced for your signed-in account.

2.6 Technical and security information

Like most online services, our servers and service providers may process technical information such as IP address, user-agent, request headers, timestamps, rate-limit signals, security logs, and error logs. Where appropriate, we may store hashes or reduced forms of some technical identifiers instead of raw values.

We use this information for security, fraud and abuse prevention, debugging, reliability, rate limiting, and legal compliance.

3. What We Do Not Collect

Football Today does not intentionally collect:

• Your Google password
• Gmail messages, Google Drive files, Google Calendar entries, Google Photos, or other private Google content
• The content of webpages you visit
• Your general browsing history
• Full URLs of non-Football Today pages you visit
• Persistent web analytics identifiers stored in cookies, localStorage, or sessionStorage
• Browser fingerprints for analytics or advertising
• Payment card information
• Sensitive personal information that is not needed to provide the service

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use Google user data or extension usage data for advertising. We do not build advertising profiles from your use of Football Today.

4. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide football scores, fixtures, standings, favorites, and related features
• Authenticate users and maintain secure sessions
• Remember your preferences and account-based settings
• Operate landing pages, welcome pages, install attribution, and support pages
• Measure whether the website, install flow, and extension features are working
• Debug errors, monitor reliability, and improve product quality
• Prevent fraud, abuse, scraping, unauthorized access, and security incidents
• Communicate with you about service, account, security, or legal matters
• Comply with applicable law and enforce our Terms of Service

Website and install-funnel analytics are used in aggregate to understand page views, install-button clicks, campaign performance, and install-flow reliability. They are not used to identify an individual person from a specific advertising campaign.

5. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable, we process information based on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Performance of the service, to provide extension, account, favorites, and football-data features you request
• Legitimate interests, to operate landing pages and install-flow pages, measure whether the install flow works, maintain security, prevent abuse, debug reliability issues, and improve Football Today
• Consent, where required by law for optional features or optional technologies
• Legal obligations, where we must retain, use, or disclose information to comply with applicable law

For website and install-funnel analytics, we rely on legitimate interests where permitted because the events are limited, first-party, do not use cookies or persistent browser storage identifiers, and are used to understand whether the landing page and install flow work.

6. Google OAuth and Limited Use

Football Today uses Google OAuth only for sign-in and account-related features. The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will also follow the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements where applicable.

This means:

• We request only the Google account information needed for sign-in and user-facing account features
• We do not use Google user data for advertising
• We do not sell Google user data
• We do not transfer Google user data except as necessary to provide or secure the service, comply with law, or with your consent
• We do not allow humans to read Google user data except where necessary for security, support, legal compliance, or with your consent

You may revoke Football Today's access to your Google account at any time at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.

7. Third-Party Services and Data Sources

We use a limited set of third-party service providers to operate Football Today. These providers process information only as needed to provide services to us, such as hosting, infrastructure, security, authentication, Chrome extension distribution, email support, analytics of our own service, and football data delivery.

Our current service provider categories include:

• Google / Chrome Web Store - distributes the Football Today Chrome extension and provides Google sign-in/OAuth services when you choose to sign in.
• Hosting and infrastructure providers - host our website, API services, databases, logs, backups, and related operational systems.
• Security, monitoring, and diagnostics providers - help us detect abuse, investigate errors, monitor availability, and protect the service.
• Football data providers - supply football fixtures, scores, standings, teams, leagues, and related sports information.
• Email and support tools - help us receive and respond to support, account, legal, or privacy requests.
• Analytics and attribution infrastructure operated for Football Today - helps us understand whether our website, install flow, and extension features work. We do not use third-party advertising tags, cross-site tracking pixels, or persistent web analytics identifiers stored in cookies, localStorage, or sessionStorage for the website and install-flow pages.

We do not intentionally send your Google account profile, install secret, authentication token, payment information, or general browsing history to football data providers.

We require service providers to process information only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to protect it appropriately, and not to use it for their own advertising or profiling purposes.

Third-party websites, platforms, and services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

8. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in limited circumstances:

8.1 Service providers

We may share information with vendors and service providers that help us host, secure, operate, analyze, and support Football Today. They may use the information only to provide services to us and must protect it appropriately.

8.2 Legal, safety, and security reasons

We may disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, or government requests, or to protect the rights, property, security, or safety of Football Today, users, third parties, or the public.

If Football Today is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Privacy Policy or appropriate notice.

8.4 With your consent

8.5 Aggregated or de-identified information

We may use or share aggregated or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify you.

9. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the service, maintain security, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations.

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods depending on their purpose. For example, account information may be kept while your account remains active, security and abuse-prevention records may be kept as needed to protect the service, and analytics information may be aggregated, de-identified, or deleted when no longer needed.

You may request deletion of your account data by contacting us at [email protected]. We may retain limited information where required or permitted by law, for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, backup integrity, or legitimate business records.

10. Security

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect information, including encrypted transport, access controls, authentication controls, monitoring, and other safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data.

No internet service can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Google account and device.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of personal information about you. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, California, or another jurisdiction with specific privacy rights, you may have additional rights under applicable law, including the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

To exercise privacy rights, contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

12. International Data Transfers

Football Today and our service providers may process information in countries other than your country of residence. Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from the laws where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

13. Children's Privacy

Football Today is not intended for children under 13, or under the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the applicable minimum age. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

14. Third-Party Links

Football Today may link to third-party websites or services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services, and we are not responsible for their content, terms, or privacy practices.
