Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Our website is located at http://evolve-football.com, and we also offer a mobile application (“App”) that provides additional services. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when using both our website and App.

Information We Collect

We collect different types of data depending on how you interact with our website and App:

1. Website Data

Comments: When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data entered into the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent for spam detection. An anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available here.
Media: If you upload images, avoid including location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract this information.
Cookies:
- If you leave a comment, you can opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
- A temporary cookie is set on the login page to check if your browser accepts cookies; it contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
- Login cookies store your login credentials and screen display settings. These cookies last up to one year, depending on your preferences.
- If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved for one day to store the post ID.
Embedded Content: Articles may feature embedded content such as videos, images, or links to other websites. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interactions.
Data Sharing: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

2. App Data (Cloud Services)

Our App collects and stores user data using secure cloud-based services. This helps us manage user authentication, store user-related information, and analyze usage to improve the App.

Authentication: When you create an account or log in, we collect your email address and other required login credentials. This data is securely stored and used only for authentication purposes.
Data Storage: Your profile information, preferences, and interactions within the App are stored securely to ensure a smooth user experience.
Analytics and Performance Monitoring: We may collect anonymized usage data and crash reports to improve the App’s performance and user experience.
Automated Processes: Certain App features may trigger automated processes to enhance functionality.

How We Use Your Data

We use your data to:

Provide and improve our website and App services.
Authenticate and manage user accounts.
Store and synchronize data within the App.
Analyze and improve user experience.
Detect and prevent fraudulent activities.
Comply with legal obligations.

Data Retention

Website Data: Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely for automated approval of follow-up comments. Registered users’ personal information is stored in their profile.
App Data: We retain user data for as long as necessary to provide the App’s services. You may request account deletion, which will remove your data from our cloud storage unless we are legally required to retain it.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on our website or App, or if you have left comments, you may request:

An exported file of your personal data.
The deletion of your personal data (excluding data we are legally required to retain).

Data Transfers

Visitor comments may be reviewed using an automated spam detection service.
Cloud storage services may store user data in secure servers located in different regions, depending on our data storage policies.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal data. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. If significant changes are made, we will notify users via email or through the App.
