1. Information We Collect

  • Automatically Collected Information

    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
    • Referring domains
    • Other usage data

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

  • Information You Provide

    If you choose to register for our beta features or subscribe to our newsletters, we may collect:

    • Contact information (e.g., name, email address)
    • Feedback and comments
    • User-generated content (e.g., predictions)

    This information is collected through our self-hosted Chatwoot live chat system.

  • Forecast-Related Data

    When you interact with our season forecasts, we may collect anonymized data such as:

    • Forecasts viewed or overridden
    • Interactions with visualization tools

    This helps us improve our services and is not linked to personal information unless you're logged in (once registration is available).

    We may also aggregate these predictions in an anonymous form and share overall community statistics (for example, the percentage of users predicting a certain match outcome) publicly on our website or social media. No individual predictions are ever linked to personal information.

  • 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.
