Privacy Statement

Introduction

Matchwinner is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Statement explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our platform.

Data Controller

Matchwinner is the data controller responsible for processing your personal data. If you have any questions about this Privacy Statement or how we handle your data, please contact us at the address listed below.

Purpose of Processing

We process your personal data to operate and maintain the Matchwinner platform, to generate usage statistics, and to monitor compliance with our terms of service and game rules.

Data We Collect

We store data submitted by you (such as your name, email address, and predictions), as well as data generated automatically by our systems (such as IP logs and activity records). Our support team may also add notes to your account to record interactions.

Automatically Logged Information

We log your IP address to diagnose technical issues and administer our platform. IP addresses may also be used for security purposes and to investigate potential abuse or violations of our game rules.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the platform and, with your consent, to understand how it is used. Strictly necessary cookies keep you logged in and protect the platform against attacks. These are always active. Analytics cookies (set via Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics) only load if you accept them in our cookie banner. You can change your preferences at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in our footer.

When you register, we collect your name and email address. We use this data to verify your account, send important account notifications, and communicate with you about our services. You may also receive newsletters or platform updates if you have opted in. You can unsubscribe at any time through your account settings.

External Links

Our platform may contain links to third-party websites. Matchwinner is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those external sites.

Data Sharing

We do not share your personal data with third parties, except where required by law, or where a service provider needs the data to deliver a service on our behalf and has agreed to comply with this Privacy Statement.
