Match Filter - Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 2025

Introduction

Match Filter ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide our service:

• Authentication credentials (email and password or Apple Sign-In) for account access
• User-created filters and notification preferences
• Device tokens for push notifications
• App usage data for service improvement
• Hashed device identifier - We use a cryptographically hashed version of your device's unique identifier solely to prevent trial abuse and ensure fair trial access. Each device is eligible for one 7-day free trial, regardless of the number of accounts created on that device. This hashed identifier cannot be used to personally identify you, track your activity across apps, or link to any personal information. It is stored separately from your account data and is used only for trial eligibility verification.

We do NOT collect, track, or store any other personal information, browsing history, location data, or sensitive personal data.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used solely to:

• Authenticate your account and provide secure access
• Store and process your custom filters
• Send you push notifications for matching live matches
• Improve our service and user experience

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using Firebase Cloud Firestore with industry-standard encryption. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore (Google) - for account management and data storage
• API-Sports - for live football match data

These services have their own privacy policies governing their use of your information. We do not integrate any advertising or analytics tracking services.

• Access your personal data at any time
