Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to My Player Schedule (“we,” “our,” or “us”), accessible from https://myplayerschedule.com. We are dedicated to respecting and safeguarding the personal privacy of every visitor to our platform.

This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information collected when you browse our site, how we utilize that data, and the strict controls in place to preserve your rights. For questions, you may contact our privacy team at [email protected].

2. Information We Collect

A. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

My Player Schedule is designed as a client-first, privacy-respecting application. We do not require you to create an account, register a profile, or submit your real name or credit card.

When you customize your football tracker (such as pinning players, tracking clubs or nationalities, toggling dark/light mode, or selecting a language), these preferences are stored strictly in your browser's local storage (localStorage). This data stays entirely on your device and is not transmitted to or stored on our external servers.

B. Automatically Collected Technical Data

Like most modern websites, our hosting network (Cloudflare CDN) and analytical services automatically log certain non-personally identifiable technical information when you access our pages:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address (anonymized for telemetry)
• Browser type, engine version, and operating system
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet) and display resolution
• Referring website addresses and exit pages
• Date, time stamp, and duration of visits

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Disclosures

• DoubleClick & Advertising Cookies: Google and its advertising partners use cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your visit to My Player Schedule and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Personalized Advertising: These cookies enable relevant ad delivery tailored to your general browsing interests while preventing the same ad from showing repeatedly.
• Opting Out: You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ad Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or Your Online Choices (EU).

4. Web Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand aggregate site performance, audience geographic trends, and popular features. GA4 uses first-party cookies (_ga, _ga_*) to collect anonymized usage data.

We have IP anonymization enabled by default. Google processes this information on our behalf to generate statistical reports. You can prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal data described in this policy depends on the specific context:

• Legitimate Interests: Operating, diagnosing, and securing our website infrastructure, maintaining data accuracy, and preventing fraudulent automated traffic.
• Consent: Storing non-essential cookies (such as analytics and personalized advertising cookies) where required by applicable ePrivacy directives and GDPR regulations.

6. Your Rights Under GDPR & UK Data Protection

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, EEA and UK visitors possess comprehensive data rights:

• Right to Access: You may request confirmation of whether any personal data concerning you is processed.
• Right to Rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal records.
• Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You may request deletion of personal data held about you.
• Right to Restrict Processing & Data Portability: You may request restriction of data processing or transmission of data in a machine-readable format.
• Right to Object & Withdraw Consent: You may object at any time to processing based on legitimate interests or revoke prior consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please email us directly at [email protected].

7. California Consumer Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) grant you specific rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Know: You may request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected in the past 12 months.
• Right to Delete: You may request the deletion of personal information we have collected from you.
• Right to Opt-Out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information: We do not sell your personal data for financial compensation. However, under California law, certain transfers of data for cross-context behavioral advertising via third-party cookies may be defined as “sharing.” You can opt out via your browser’s Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal or AboutAds Choices.
• Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

8. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Protecting children’s privacy online is paramount. My Player Schedule is a general audience sports information website and is not directed at children under 13 years of age (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal identifiable information from children.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided us with personal information, please notify us at [email protected], and we will promptly purge such records.

9. Data Security & Retention

We implement industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption across all connections via Cloudflare. Since we do not maintain centralized user profiles or credit card systems, our exposure to data breach risks is inherently minimal. Server log data is automatically purged on routine retention schedules.

10. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological changes, new platform features, or legal regulations. When changes are published, the revised effective date at the top of this page will be updated.
