At Footylabs.com, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your personal information when you visit or interact with our website. By using our website, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information for statistical and analytical purposes. This includes:
- IP addresses
- Browser type
- Operating system

This information is collected through Google Analytics, which anonymizes the data to ensure no personally identifiable information (PII) is collected.

This helps us improve our services and is not linked to personal information unless you're logged in (once registration is available).
- Local Storage:
When you override the default predictions, this override data is stored locally on your device using IndexedDB, a secure browser-based storage system. This data remains on your system and is not sent to our servers unless you explicitly choose to share it.
