Privacy Policy

1. What this policy covers

This policy explains the personal information FFStriker may process when managers register, join leagues, manage clubs, select teams, use auctions, send messages, or interact with game features.

2. Information we may collect

• Account information from the authentication provider, such as user ID, email address, display name, profile image, and login status.
• Manager and club profile information, including manager name, nickname, date of birth, favourite club, avatar, club name, colours, kit settings, and league membership.
• Game activity, including squads, team selections, captaincy, scouting lists, transfers, auctions, bids, gameweek results, messages, notifications, and settings.
• Technical information, including essential session cookies, local or session storage values, device/browser details, request logs, error logs, security events, and approximate usage timestamps.
• If you open GIF search or a league chat containing a GIF, your browser connects directly to GIPHY. GIPHY may receive the search, GIF interaction, IP address, browser details, and its own service data under its privacy terms.
• Support or administration messages you send to league administrators or the project owner.

3. How we use information

• To provide accounts, authentication, leagues, squads, auctions, team selection, scoring, messages, and notifications.
• To prevent duplicate accounts, collusion, abuse, cheating, fraud, security issues, and technical misuse.
• To improve, debug, secure, and maintain the game.
• To respond to support, privacy, takedown, or league administration requests.

4. Cookies, local storage, and authentication

• FFStriker uses essential cookies and similar storage technologies for login sessions, authentication, security, and core game operation.
• The game may use session storage to remember short-lived page state, such as scroll position, cached team selector data, or squad page data while you move around the app.
• The game may use local storage to remember simple interface acknowledgements, such as whether you have seen the storage notice.
• FFStriker does not currently use advertising cookies, cross-site marketing trackers, or optional analytics cookies. If those are added later, this policy and the consent controls should be updated first.

5. Sharing information

• Authentication may be handled by a trusted identity provider.
• Hosting, database, logging, email, or infrastructure providers may process data so the service can operate.
• GIPHY processes GIF searches and provider-hosted GIF views when you use GIF search or view a league chat containing a GIF. FFStriker stores the selected GIPHY identity, not a copy of the GIF file.
• League data may be visible to other managers where required by the game, such as manager names, club names, league table position, transfers, squads, and completed gameweek outcomes.
• Personal information is not intended to be sold.

6. Retention and deletion

Game and account records may be retained for as long as needed to operate leagues, preserve season history, resolve disputes, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations. You can request help with account or data queries through the support contact used by FFStriker.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of your personal information. Requests can be sent to support@ffstriker.com.

8. Children

FFStriker is not designed as a child-directed service. Managers should only use the game where they are old enough to create an account and take part in online services in their location.
