Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to guesstheplayer.co and explains how information may be handled when you visit, access, or use our website and Guess the Player experience. In this policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of guesstheplayer.co.

Your use of the website may also be subject to other applicable site terms and notices. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully so that you can understand how information may be collected, used, stored, and shared depending on how you interact with the website.

2. Information We Collect

The types of information we may collect depend on how you use guesstheplayer.co, the features available to you, and the technologies enabled on the website. Information may be collected directly from you, automatically through your use of the website, or from service providers acting on our behalf.

3. Information You Provide

You may choose to provide information directly to us when contacting us or using features that request it. Depending on the feature, this may include:

• Your name and email address;
• A contact form subject and message;
• Account information, if accounts are available;
• Information submitted in support requests;
• Feedback, feature suggestions, or custom-plan inquiries; and
• Subscription-related information, where applicable.

Contact Form Information

When you contact guesstheplayer.co, you may provide your name, email address, subject, and message. We may use this information to respond to inquiries, provide support, investigate reported problems, answer plan or feature questions, handle custom-service requests, and maintain appropriate support records. Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your request.

4. Information Collected Automatically

When you use the website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by the website, its hosting provider, security tools, or analytics technologies, depending on what is enabled. This may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, date and time of access, general interaction data, error or log information, and approximate location derived from an IP address where applicable.

Game and Usage Information

Because guesstheplayer.co provides football guessing games and challenges, we may process game-related information such as challenges viewed, guesses submitted, scores, attempts, game progress, streaks, difficulty selections, game modes used, and leaderboard information if enabled. This information may be associated with an account where account features are available, or may otherwise be stored locally or temporarily depending on the feature’s implementation.

Analytics and Security Logging

We may use analytics technologies to understand website performance and how visitors interact with guesstheplayer.co, including page visits, session information, device or browser type, interaction patterns, and performance information. We may also process technical information to detect malicious traffic, prevent abuse, protect game integrity, diagnose errors, prevent automated attacks, and maintain service availability. Where required by law, consent will be requested before using non-essential analytics technologies.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. Similar technologies can also store or recognize information in your browser or device. We may use these technologies for essential website functionality, security, maintaining sessions, saving preferences, remembering game settings or progress, analytics, and performance measurement. Advertising-related technologies may be used only if such services are later enabled.

Where required by applicable law, we will request consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies. You can control cookies through your browser settings and through any cookie-consent controls provided by the website. Disabling essential cookies may affect certain website features or functionality.

6. How We Use Information

We may use information for legitimate operational purposes, including to:

• Operate and maintain guesstheplayer.co and its Guess the Player games;
• Respond to contact requests and provide support;
• Manage accounts, subscriptions, and related requests where applicable;
• Remember preferences and support game functionality;
• Improve gameplay, performance, and new game features;
• Measure website use, detect bugs, and troubleshoot technical issues;
• Prevent fraud, abuse, malicious activity, and security incidents;
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce applicable site terms.

Email Communication

Support emails may be used to respond to your questions or requests. We do not state that visitors are automatically subscribed to marketing communications. If promotional emails are offered in the future, they should be sent in accordance with applicable consent and opt-out requirements.

Automated Decision-Making

Normal game logic, scoring, and challenge results are part of the gameplay experience and are not intended to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects about users. If future automated processing does produce such effects, this policy should be updated accordingly.

7. Legal Bases for Processing

Where laws such as the GDPR or UK GDPR apply, we may rely on one or more legal bases to process personal information, depending on the circumstances and the particular activity.

Consent

We may rely on consent for certain optional technologies or communications where consent is required.

Contract

We may process information where it is necessary to provide a requested account, subscription, paid service, or other feature.

Legitimate Interests

We may process information to operate, secure, improve, and understand use of the website, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Legal Obligations

We may process or retain information where necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations. Not every legal basis applies to every processing activity.

8. How We Share Information

We may share information only where reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including with the following categories of recipients:

Service Providers

Service providers may help with hosting, website infrastructure, email delivery, security, analytics, customer support, or payment processing where applicable. They may process information on our behalf to provide their services.

Legal Requirements and Protection of Rights

We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, court orders, or valid governmental requests, or to protect the security of the website, users, our rights or property, and to prevent fraud or abuse.

Business Transfers

Information may be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of website or business assets, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Selling Personal Information

guesstheplayer.co does not intend to sell personal information for monetary payment. Some privacy laws may define “sale” or “sharing” more broadly in relation to advertising or analytics technologies. If such technologies are used and applicable law requires an opt-out, appropriate choices will be provided.

9. Third-Party Services

The website may rely on third-party services for web hosting, content delivery, security, analytics, email or contact processing, payment processing, or authentication. Where applicable, third-party providers may process information under their own terms and privacy practices. We encourage you to review relevant third-party privacy information when it is made available.

10. Accounts and Subscriptions

If guesstheplayer.co offers user accounts, Pro subscriptions, or other registered features, we may process information such as your name, email address, login or account identifier, subscription status, account preferences, game history, score history, streaks, and account support information. Where accounts are offered, you are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for notifying us of suspected unauthorized account use.

11. Payment Information

If paid subscriptions or services are offered, payment processing may be handled by a third-party payment processor. That provider may collect payment method details, billing details, and transaction information. Full payment-card details may be handled directly by the payment provider rather than stored by guesstheplayer.co.

12. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing services, handling support requests, maintaining accounts, maintaining security, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal or accounting obligations. Different categories of information may have different retention periods. When information is no longer required, it may be deleted, anonymized, or aggregated, subject to applicable requirements.

13. Data Security

We may use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to help protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, or alteration. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use appropriate care when sharing information online.

14. International Data Transfers

Service providers may process information in countries different from the country where you are located. Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards may be used for cross-border transfers of personal information.

15. Your Privacy Rights

Your privacy rights vary by location and applicable law. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to personal information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, data portability, withdrawal of consent, or to lodge a complaint with a relevant regulator.

To make a privacy-related request, contact support@guesstheplayer.co. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. Some requests may be limited by legal exceptions or applicable requirements.

16. European and UK Privacy Rights

Users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions with similar rights may have rights to be informed, access personal information, request rectification or erasure, restrict processing, receive data portability, object to processing, withdraw consent, and complain to a supervisory authority where applicable.

For privacy questions or requests, contact support@guesstheplayer.co. We do not provide details for a Data Protection Officer, EU representative, or UK representative because such details have not been established in this policy.

17. California Privacy Rights

If the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, applies to our processing, eligible California residents may have rights to know, access, delete, and correct personal information, to opt out of certain sales or sharing where applicable, to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable, and to be free from discrimination for exercising privacy rights.

Requests may be submitted to support@guesstheplayer.co. Users outside the EEA, UK, or California may also contact us at this address with privacy questions or requests, which will be handled in accordance with applicable law.

18. Children’s Privacy

guesstheplayer.co is a general football entertainment website and is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable child-privacy laws. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information in circumstances where consent or authorization was required, contact us at support@guesstheplayer.co. We may take appropriate action where required.

19. Third-Party Links

The website may contain links to external websites or services. guesstheplayer.co does not control those external websites, and their privacy practices may differ from ours. A link does not imply endorsement. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of external websites before providing them with personal information.

20. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when website features, data practices, services, or legal requirements change. When material changes are made, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
