Privacy Policy

01.Information We Collect

When you interact with Sportified (accessible at sportified.win), we collect minimal technical information necessary to deliver high-performance gameplay:

• Local Browser Storage: We use your browser's localStorage to store your unlocked difficulty tiers, cumulative XP, earned coins, sound preferences, and high scores. This data stays on your device unless you clear browser storage.
• Device & Telemetry Data: Standard HTTP request data including browser user-agent, operating system, screen dimensions, and language preferences to optimize canvas rendering (e.g. 60 FPS mobile scaling for Phaser engines).
• Share URLs: When you share a match challenge URL, the score and accuracy are encoded in an open URL token. No personal identity is attached to challenge links.

02.How We Use Your Information

We use the data collected strictly for platform operations:

• Maintaining ongoing gameplay states, match streaks, and penalty shootout leaderboards.
• Diagnosing technical bugs, WebGL canvas crashes, and touch latency issues.
• Preventing automated botting, rate-limit abuse, and denial-of-service attempts.
• Ensuring compliance with international privacy mandates (GDPR, CCPA, COPPA).

03.Cookies & Local Storage Technologies

Sportified does not use intrusive third-party cross-site advertising trackers. We employ:

• Essential Storage: Required for game audio toggles, last-played category in Football Quiz, and arcade high-score progression.
• Performance Caching: Next.js edge caching and CDN asset distribution to guarantee sub-second initial page load times worldwide.

You can purge all Sportified game data at any time by clearing your browser cookies and site data for sportified.win.

04.Third-Party Services

To provide AAA-quality media and resilient cloud hosting, Sportified collaborates with trusted third-party providers:

• Vercel Inc.: Application edge hosting, serverless functions, and DNS routing.
• Unsplash: High-resolution editorial photography of stadiums and players served via CDN remote patterns.
• Phaser Engine: Client-side HTML5 game runtime executed locally in your browser.

05.Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K)

Sportified offers all-ages, family-friendly football games and sports trivia. We do not knowingly collect, request, or harvest personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union). If you believe a minor has somehow provided personal details, please contact us immediately for deletion.
