Last updated: 2026-10-02
Match Predictor ("we", "our", "us") is a free football prediction game where you predict match results to earn credits. This Privacy Policy explains how we access, use, store, and share your personal information — including data we receive when you sign in with Google.
1. Information We Collect
Google Sign-In data. When you choose "Continue with Google", Google asks for your consent to share certain information with us. We request only the standard OAuth scopes openid, profile, and email, and we receive exactly these fields:
- Name — displayed on the leaderboard and in the app
- Email address — used as your account identifier and to sign you in
- Profile picture — shown on the leaderboard and in the app
We do not request access to, and cannot see, your Google Drive files, Gmail messages, Calendar, Contacts, or any other Google service or content.
Account data you provide. If you register with an email address or phone number and a password, we collect:
- Your email address or phone number
- Your name (optional)
- A password (stored only as a bcrypt hash — we never store your plain-text password)
Game data. To operate the game, we record your predictions and their outcomes, and your credits balance and transaction history (sign-up bonus, daily check-ins, ad rewards, bets placed, and winnings).
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information solely to operate Match Predictor:
- To create and authenticate your account

We do not use your information for advertising, third-party marketing, or profiling, and we do not sell it.
