1. Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how AdvanceScores handles information when you use the public website, browse live football scores and Match Schedule pages, save items to the Watchlist, change appearance settings or submit a form.
It applies to advancescores.com. External websites, app stores, data providers and linked services operate under their own privacy policies.
2. Information processed when you browse
Web servers and security systems may process technical information such as IP address, request time, browser type, device information, requested URL, referrer, response status and diagnostic data.
This information may be used to deliver pages, protect the service, investigate errors, prevent abuse, monitor performance and maintain operational records.
3. Information you provide
When you use Get in Touch, AdvanceScores may store your name, email address, topic, subject, related page URL and message, together with limited technical metadata such as IP address and user agent.
Provide only information that is necessary for the enquiry. Do not submit passwords, payment details or highly sensitive personal information through the contact form.
4. Browser storage and preferences
The Watchlist, theme mode, accent colour and similar preferences may be stored in localStorage or other browser storage on your device.
Browser-stored information is device and browser specific. Clearing site data, using private browsing or changing devices can remove it.
5. Cookies, sessions and security
The website may use essential cookies or session identifiers required for security, form protection, application state and reliable operation.
Redis-backed sessions and cache may be used by the application infrastructure. These systems support website operation and are not intended to create a public user profile.
6. Advertising and Google AdSense
When advertising is enabled, AdvanceScores may use Google AdSense. Google and other advertising technology providers may place or read cookies in your browser, or use web beacons, IP addresses, device information and other identifiers as a result of ad serving on the website.
Advertising technologies may be used to deliver and measure ads, limit how often an ad is shown, prevent fraud and abuse, and, where permitted and consented to, select or personalise advertising. The exact choices available depend on your location, browser settings and the consent options shown to you.
Third-party advertising providers process information under their own privacy terms. Where consent is required, visitors should use the privacy or consent controls presented on the site to make or change their choices.
7. Third-party services
AdvanceScores may use hosting, analytics, security, football data, live chat, email, advertising, app-store and content-delivery services. Those providers may process limited information to provide their services.
The Tawk.to chat widget, Google advertising services, Apple App Store, Google Play and other external services may be subject to the provider’s own terms and privacy practices.
8. Purpose and retention
Information may be processed to operate the website, respond to messages, correct football data, maintain security, diagnose technical issues, comply with legal obligations and protect legitimate interests.
Retention depends on the type of information, operational need, security requirements, legal obligations and whether an enquiry remains open. Information that is no longer required may be deleted or anonymised.
9. Your choices and requests
You can clear browser storage through your browser settings. You can also contact AdvanceScores to ask about a submitted message, request correction or deletion where applicable, or raise a privacy concern.
A request may require reasonable verification so information is not disclosed or changed for the wrong person.
10. Security and limitations
Reasonable technical and organisational controls are used to protect the service, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Do not send confidential credentials or unnecessary sensitive information through the website.
11. Updates and contact
This policy may be updated when website features, service providers, legal requirements or operational practices change. The current version is published on this page.
Questions or privacy requests can be submitted through Get in Touch by selecting Privacy request.
