Privacy Policy

1. Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the FalconScores website and the web-based services made available through it. These services may include:

• Football fixtures and live scores.
• Match previews and match analysis.
• Football predictions and informational tips.
• Head-to-head records and historical results.
• League, competition and team statistics.
• Starting lineups, substitutes, coaches and match formations.
• Match events, performance statistics and team form.
• Favorite matches and followed teams or leagues.
• Fan polls, match votes and preference controls.
• Contact forms, support chat and feedback features.

This policy does not automatically apply to independent third-party websites, applications or services that may be linked from FalconScores. Those providers maintain their own privacy policies and terms.

2. Information we may collect

The information processed by FalconScores depends on the features you use and how the website has been configured by the site operator.

2.1 Information collected automatically

When you access the website, the web server, hosting provider, security system or analytics service may automatically process technical information such as:

• Your Internet Protocol address.
• The date and time of your request.
• The page, route or resource requested.
• The referring page or website, where available.
• Your browser type and browser version.
• Your device type and operating system.
• Screen size, language and approximate timezone.
• HTTP response status and request duration.
• General diagnostic, security and error information.

This technical information is commonly recorded in server logs and may be required to deliver pages, identify errors, prevent abuse and protect the website.

2.2 Information you provide directly

When you use the contact form or another communication feature, you may provide:

• Your name.
• Your email address.
• The subject of your request.
• The message, correction, suggestion or support request you submit.
• Any other information you voluntarily include in your message.

Please do not include passwords, payment details, identification documents, medical information or other highly sensitive personal information in a contact message.

2.3 Security and abuse-prevention information

To protect the contact form, fan polls and other interactive features, FalconScores may process limited security information such as:

• A shortened or one-way hashed version of an IP address.
• A limited browser or user-agent identifier.
• Submission timestamps.
• Rate-limit counters.
• Session identifiers.
• Duplicate-submission indicators.
• Suspected automated or abusive activity.

Where an IP address is hashed, the hash is intended to support abuse prevention and duplicate detection without unnecessarily retaining the original value in the related application record.

3. How we use information

Information may be processed to:

• Load, display and operate FalconScores website pages.
• Provide fixtures, scores, lineups, statistics and football content.
• Remember light or dark theme preferences.
• Store favorite matches and followed teams or leagues.
• Record and display aggregate fan-poll percentages.
• Prevent repeated, automated or abusive voting.
• Respond to contact messages and support requests.
• Investigate incorrect match data or content reports.
• Improve navigation, performance and website usability.
• Diagnose application failures and technical errors.
• Protect the website from spam, fraud and malicious activity.
• Maintain backups, audit records and operational continuity.
• Comply with valid legal, regulatory or security requirements.

FalconScores does not sell personal contact information to advertisers. Contact details submitted through the website are not intended to be used for unrelated marketing unless you have been clearly informed and have provided any required permission.

4. Basis for processing information

Depending on your location and the nature of the processing, information may be handled on one or more of the following grounds:

• Service operation: processing required to provide the website or a feature you requested.
• Legitimate operational interests: maintaining website security, preventing abuse, diagnosing errors and improving the service.
• Consent: where you have actively agreed to an optional feature, cookie, analytics service or communication.
• Legal obligations: where records must be retained or disclosed to comply with a valid legal requirement.

FalconScores aims to apply a proportionate approach and avoid collecting information that is not reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

5. Local storage and saved preferences

FalconScores may use browser local storage to provide convenient features without requiring a user account.

Depending on the website version, local storage may contain:

• Your selected light or dark theme.
• Favorite fixture identifiers.
• Followed team identifiers.
• Followed league or competition identifiers.
• Dismissed interface notices.
• Match-card display preferences.
• Lineup pitch-view or list-view preference.

This information normally remains in your browser and is not automatically synchronized across devices. It may be removed by clearing FalconScores site data, resetting browser storage or using any available remove or unfollow controls.

Clearing browser data may remove saved favorites, followed teams, followed leagues, theme choices and other locally stored settings.

6. Cookies and sessions

FalconScores may use essential cookies or session identifiers required for website functionality and security.

Essential cookies may support:

• Cross-site request forgery protection.
• Form validation and error handling.
• Session continuity between page requests.
• Duplicate fan-poll prevention.
• Rate limiting and anti-spam controls.
• Secure handling of temporary website messages.

Session cookies are generally temporary and expire after a configured period or when the browser session ends. Production cookies should be configured with appropriate security controls, including secure transmission, HTTP-only access and a suitable same-site policy.

Blocking all cookies may cause some interactive features, contact forms or fan polls to work incorrectly.

6.1 Optional cookies

Optional analytics, advertising or third-party cookies should only be enabled when the relevant service is configured. Where required, FalconScores may provide a cookie notice or preference control before using non-essential cookies.

6.2 Do Not Track signals

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting. There is no single universally accepted standard for responding to these signals. FalconScores may instead rely on its cookie controls, privacy settings and the configuration of enabled third-party services.

7. Favorites, follows and fan polls

7.1 Favorite matches and followed teams

The website may allow you to favorite fixtures or follow teams and competitions. Unless an account-based synchronization feature is introduced and clearly explained, these selections are normally stored locally in your browser.

7.2 Fan polls and match voting

FalconScores may provide fan polls such as home win, draw or away win voting. Individual votes may be combined into aggregate percentages displayed to visitors.

To protect poll integrity, the website may use sessions, hashed network identifiers, browser indicators, rate limits or submission timestamps to discourage duplicate or automated voting.

Fan polls represent visitor opinions. They are not professional forecasts, verified match outcomes or guaranteed predictions.

8. Contact messages

Information submitted through the FalconScores contact form may be used to:

• Respond to your question or request.
• Investigate a reported fixture, score or statistic issue.
• Review feedback about website functionality.
• Address legal, privacy or content concerns.
• Prevent spam, abuse or repeated malicious submissions.
• Maintain a record of important support communications.

A contact submission does not create a permanent user account. Your message may be accessible to authorized website administrators, support personnel or service providers who require access to operate the contact service.

FalconScores does not guarantee that every unsolicited commercial message, data proposal, partnership request or promotional submission will receive a response.

9. Analytics and performance monitoring

FalconScores may use privacy-conscious analytics or performance-monitoring tools to understand how the website is used and to improve reliability.

Analytics information may include:

• Pages viewed.
• Approximate visit duration.
• General device and browser categories.
• Approximate geographic region.
• Traffic source.
• Navigation events.
• Page-load speed.
• Application errors.

The exact information processed depends on the analytics provider and configuration selected by the site operator. Where analytics are disabled, FalconScores may still retain basic server logs needed for security and technical operation.

10. Third-party services

FalconScores may rely on external providers to deliver particular features. These providers may process technical request information when their resources are loaded.

10.1 Football data providers

Fixtures, scores, team details, league information, lineups, player images, match events, statistics and related content may be supplied by external football-data providers.

Requests for externally hosted logos, player images, league images or other assets may disclose standard technical information, including your IP address and browser details, to the server hosting that asset.

10.2 Tawk.to support chat

FalconScores may provide a Tawk.to support-chat widget when the required property and widget identifiers have been configured by the site operator.

When enabled, the chat provider may process information such as your IP address, browser details, pages viewed and messages entered into the support chat. The widget remains disabled when its configuration is not supplied.

10.3 Hosting, security and delivery services

Hosting providers, content-delivery networks, domain providers, firewalls, backup systems and monitoring tools may process technical information required to deliver and protect the website.

10.4 Embedded content

Pages containing embedded videos, social posts, maps or other externally hosted content may allow the relevant provider to receive technical request data. Such providers may apply their own cookies and privacy practices.

11. External links

FalconScores pages may contain links to independent websites, social platforms, football organizations or other external services.

FalconScores does not control the privacy, security, availability or content of independent third-party websites. Before submitting information to another website, review its privacy policy and security practices.

12. When information may be shared

FalconScores does not sell contact-form information. Limited information may, however, be shared in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: with hosting, security, analytics, email, support-chat, backup or technical providers that help operate the website.
• Security investigations: where reasonably necessary to investigate spam, fraud, attacks or abuse.
• Legal requirements: where disclosure is required by a valid legal request, court order or applicable obligation.
• Protection of rights: where reasonably necessary to protect users, the public, FalconScores or its systems.
• Business changes: where the website or its assets are transferred, reorganized or operated by a successor, subject to appropriate confidentiality and privacy safeguards.
• With your direction: where you explicitly request or authorize a disclosure.

Service providers should only receive information reasonably necessary for the service they provide.

13. Data retention

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to security, backup, operational and legal requirements.

Retention periods may depend on:

• The nature of the information.
• The reason it was collected.
• Whether a request or dispute remains unresolved.
• Security and fraud-prevention requirements.
• Backup schedules.
• Applicable legal or regulatory obligations.

13.1 Server and security logs

Server logs may be retained for a limited operational period and may remain longer when needed to investigate a security incident, technical failure or abuse pattern.

13.2 Contact messages

Contact messages may be retained until the request has been resolved and for a reasonable period afterwards for support history, dispute management or service improvement.

13.3 Local browser information

Information stored in your browser remains until it expires, is replaced by the website or is removed by you through browser controls.

13.4 Backups

Deleted information may remain temporarily in secured backups until the relevant backup cycle expires. Backup data is generally not restored solely to retrieve or remove an individual routine record unless legally required or technically appropriate.

14. Information security

FalconScores uses reasonable administrative, technical and operational measures intended to protect website information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.

These measures may include:

• Encrypted HTTPS connections.
• Secure session-cookie configuration.
• Cross-site request forgery protection.
• Input validation and output escaping.
• Rate limiting and anti-spam controls.
• Restricted administrative access.
• Application and server logging.
• Security updates and dependency maintenance.
• Database access controls.
• Backups and service-recovery procedures.

No website, network or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should therefore avoid submitting unnecessary confidential or sensitive information.

14.1 Security incident response

Where FalconScores becomes aware of a significant security incident involving personal information, the site operator may investigate the incident, restrict affected systems, preserve relevant evidence and provide notifications where reasonably required.

15. International processing

Hosting, analytics, support, content-delivery or football-data providers may operate infrastructure in different countries. As a result, technical information may be processed outside the country from which you access FalconScores.

Where practicable, the site operator should select reputable providers and use appropriate contractual, technical or organizational safeguards for international processing.

16. Your privacy rights and choices

Depending on your location and applicable requirements, you may have the right to:

• Ask whether personal information about you is being processed.
• Request access to information you provided.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of certain information.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Withdraw consent for optional processing.
• Request a portable copy of information, where applicable.
• Raise a concern with the relevant data-protection authority.

These rights may be subject to legal exceptions, identity verification, security requirements and technical limitations.

16.1 Browser controls

You can directly manage several FalconScores privacy choices by:

• Clearing browser cookies and local storage.
• Blocking non-essential cookies.
• Disabling JavaScript, although this may limit functionality.
• Using private-browsing mode.
• Removing favorite matches.
• Unfollowing teams and leagues.
• Avoiding optional contact and support-chat features.

16.2 Requests relating to contact messages

To request correction or deletion of a contact message, provide enough information for the site operator to identify the relevant submission, such as the email address, approximate submission date and message subject.

Additional verification may be requested to prevent unauthorized access to another person’s information.

17. Children and young users

FalconScores is a general football-information service and is not designed to collect unnecessary personal information from children.

Young users should avoid submitting personal addresses, school details, telephone numbers, identification documents, financial information or other sensitive information through contact forms or support chats.

A parent or guardian who believes that a child has submitted unnecessary personal information may contact the site operator and request that the information be reviewed or removed.

18. Automated decisions, predictions and football analysis

FalconScores may use statistical rules, historical match information, team form, prediction records or data supplied by external providers to generate football previews, confidence categories, performance summaries and informational match analysis.

These features are intended for football information and entertainment. They are not used to make legal, employment, credit, insurance, medical or similarly significant decisions about individuals.

Match predictions, confidence indicators, fan votes and statistical summaries may be incomplete, delayed or incorrect. They do not guarantee a result and should not be treated as professional financial advice.

19. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when FalconScores introduces new features, changes service providers, improves security controls or responds to operational or legal developments.

The latest version will be published on this page. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page indicates when the current version was published.

Material changes may also be highlighted through a website notice where reasonably appropriate.
