Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 13, 2026

FieldFinder ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at www.fieldfinder.xyz ("the Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account Information

When you sign in with Google OAuth, we receive and store your name, email address, and profile picture from your Google account.

1.2 Profile Information

You may optionally provide additional information such as a bio, preferred sports, and skill level. This information is visible to other users on your public profile.

1.3 Location Data

With your permission, we collect your approximate location through your browser's geolocation API. This is used to show nearby matches and fields. Location data is not stored on our servers — it is only used in real-time to sort and display results.

1.4 Usage Data

We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including pages visited, matches joined, and chat messages sent. This data helps us improve the platform.

1.5 Payment Information

Payment information (such as credit card details) is collected and processed directly by Stripe. We do not store your payment card details on our servers. We receive only a confirmation of payment status and transaction identifiers from Stripe.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Create and manage your account
• Display your profile to other users
• Show you relevant matches and fields based on your location
• Send notifications about matches you've joined (email and push notifications, with your consent)
• Process payments for paid matches
• Calculate and display your reliability score based on attendance
• Moderate content and enforce our Terms of Service
• Improve and maintain the Service

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process your data:

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

We use the following browser storage technologies:

• Session cookies: To maintain your authentication state while signed in.
• Local storage: To save your theme preference (dark or light mode) and PWA installation state.

We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

5. Push Notifications

With your explicit consent, we may send push notifications to your device about upcoming matches and other updates. You can manage or revoke push notification permissions at any time through your browser settings or the FieldFinder settings page. Your push subscription endpoint is stored in our database and deleted when you unsubscribe.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Chat messages and match participation records are kept for the lifetime of the associated match. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

7. Your Rights

• Deletion: Delete your account and all associated data. Contact us at support@fieldfinder.xyz to request account deletion.
• Data portability: Request an export of your data in a machine-readable format.
• Withdraw consent: Opt out of notifications or revoke location permissions at any time.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data, including:

• Encrypted database connections (TLS/SSL)
• Secure authentication via OAuth 2.0
• Content Security Policy headers to prevent cross-site scripting
• Input sanitization and rate limiting on API endpoints

No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
