Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information PitchPicks collects, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Information we collect

  • Account info: name, email, hashed password.
  • Subscription & payment metadata: plan, transaction reference, status, currency. Card details are handled by Flutterwave — we never see or store them.
  • Usage data: pages visited, tips saved, comments posted.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser, device type — used for security and rate limiting.

2. How we use it

  • To operate your account and deliver subscribed content.
  • To process payments via our payment provider.
  • To prevent abuse (rate limiting, fraud detection).
  • To send important account or subscription notifications.
  • We do not sell your personal data.

3. Cookies

We use a session cookie to keep you logged in. We also use localStorage to remember that you've confirmed you're 18+. We don't use third-party tracking cookies for advertising on this site.

4. Third parties

  • Flutterwave — payment processing. Their privacy policy applies to data they collect during checkout.
  • API-Football — fixture and result data is fetched from this provider; no user data is sent to them.

5. Data retention

We keep account data while your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (e.g. payment records for accounting).

6. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction or deletion.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Receive a copy of your data in portable format.

To exercise any of these, email support@example.com.

7. Security

We use industry-standard practices: HTTPS in production, hashed passwords, prepared database queries, CSRF protection on forms, and minimal data collection. No system is 100% secure, so please use a strong unique password.

8. Children

This Service is not intended for anyone under 18. We don't knowingly collect data from minors.

9. Changes

We'll post material changes to this policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date.
