Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

EasyChamp (“EasyChamp”, “we”, “us”) operates the football competition platform at easychamp.com and its product surfaces — Leagues (organizer console), Sim (match simulator), Coach (national-team management), and the virtual-coin betting layer woven through them. We are the data controller for the personal data described below. For any privacy question, contact [email protected].

2. Information we collect

Account & identity

Sign-in is handled by our identity provider (Keycloak). When you create or use an account we process your email address, display name / username, and the authentication tokens that keep you signed in. If you register with Google or Facebook, we receive the basic profile fields you approve at that provider.

Tournament & gameplay data

The competitions, teams, fixtures, standings, squads, and career progress you create or join, along with the choices you make in Sim and Coach. This is the content you use the product to produce.

Payments

If virtual-coin purchases are enabled and offered, they are processed by Stripe. We do not see or store your full card number — Stripe handles card data as a PCI-DSS payment processor. We retain a record of the transaction (amount, coin pack, timestamp, and a Stripe reference) for accounting and support.

Device, usage & cookies

Basic technical data (IP address, browser type, pages viewed) needed to serve and secure the site, plus the small amount of local storage described in section 6.

3. How we use your data

• To provide the products — run your competitions, sim your matches, manage your squad, and settle virtual-coin wagers.
• To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
• Where the purchase gate is enabled, to process coin purchases and provide support.
• To operate, debug, and improve the platform.
• To comply with legal obligations and prevent abuse or fraud.

4. Legal bases (GDPR)

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on: performance of a contract (providing the service you signed up for), legitimate interests (securing and improving the platform, preventing abuse), consent (where we ask for it, e.g. optional communications), and legal obligation (accounting, responding to lawful requests).

5. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with processors that run the platform on our behalf: our identity provider (Keycloak), Stripe for payments, and our hosting and infrastructure providers. Each is bound to use the data only to provide their service to us. We may also disclose data where required by law.

6. Cookies & local storage

We keep this minimal. We use essential storage to hold your sign-in session (so you stay logged in) and a small preference value that remembers your light/dark theme choice. We do not run third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

7. Data retention

We keep account and tournament data for as long as your account is active. Payment records are retained as long as required for accounting and tax. When you delete your account we remove or anonymise your personal data, except where we must keep specific records to meet legal obligations.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, export, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these, email [email protected] and we will respond within the timeframe the law requires. You also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

9. International transfers

Our providers may process data outside your country. Where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to protect it.

10. Age

EasyChamp is not intended for children. The virtual-coin betting features are restricted to users who are at least the age of majority in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone below the applicable minimum age.

11. MatchCam (iOS app)

The MatchCam app records video and audio through your device's camera and microphone solely at your request, to film a match. Recordings are stored on your device and are never uploaded to EasyChamp servers by the app; you choose where files go (e.g. AirDrop to your own computer). Audio is captured only as part of the recording and to synchronize the two devices' footage. MatchCam collects no analytics, no identifiers and no personal data — the App Store privacy label is “Data Not Collected”. Processing of footage (stitching, tracking, highlights) happens locally on hardware you control. If you film other people, you are responsible for complying with local recording and image-rights rules.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the platform evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new “last updated” date.
