Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2025-11-30
Welcome to mysportcal — built by football fanatics for football fanatics. We believe matchdays should be stress-free and your data should stay safe behind a solid back line. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it secure.
Who we are
mysportcal provides calendar syncing, notifications, and tools that help supporters plan every fixture without the scramble.
Questions? Email support@mysportcal.com.
Data we collect
- Account details: name, email, password hash, and your selected timezone.
- Preferences: clubs, competitions, and alert settings you choose to follow.
- Calendar connections: identifiers needed to connect Google, Apple, Outlook/Microsoft 365, or ICS. We never store your calendar contents.
- Usage and device info: basic telemetry (pages viewed, buttons clicked, approximate location from IP, browser/OS), used to keep the service stable and improve the product.
- Payment data: handled by our payment processor. We receive limited billing metadata (plan, status, last 4 digits, expiry month/year) — never your full card number.
- Support conversations: details you share when you contact us.
How we use your data
- To deliver the service: syncing fixtures, sending alerts, managing your connections.
- To improve performance and reliability, especially on matchdays.
- To communicate with you about important changes, outages, or security issues.
- To handle billing for paid plans and prevent fraud.
Legal bases (EU/UK)
- Contract: providing the features you sign up for.
- Legitimate interests: keeping the app secure, preventing abuse, and improving the experience.
- Consent: where required (e.g., certain analytics/cookies).
- Legal obligation: accounting and tax records.
Cookies and analytics
We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and remember your settings. We may use privacy‑respecting analytics to understand what’s working and what isn’t — no dark patterns, no hidden trackers. We also run Google Tag Manager to manage scripts. You can block non‑essential cookies in your browser.
Sharing
We don’t sell your data. We share only what’s needed with trusted vendors who help us run mysportcal (e.g., hosting, analytics, payment processing, email). Each vendor is bound by data protection obligations.
International transfers
Your data may be processed outside your country. When we transfer personal data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable).
Retention
We keep your account data while your account is active. If you close your account, we delete or anonymise most data within 30 days, keeping only what we must for legal, accounting, or abuse‑prevention purposes.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, delete, or object to certain processing. To exercise any rights, contact support@mysportcal.com.
Security
We use industry‑standard security practices: encryption in transit, hashed passwords, scoped tokens for calendar connections, and least‑privilege access for systems and staff. No system is perfect, but we defend like it’s stoppage time every day.
Children
mysportcal is not intended for children under 16. If you believe a child provided personal data, contact us and we’ll remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We’ll post the changes here and, if significant, notify you by email or in‑app. Keep an eye on this page for the latest version.
