Privacy Policy

Last updated 6 August 2026

This explains what Actual Footy collects, why, and who helps us run the service. We keep it to what we need to give you the intelligence and run your membership — nothing more.

1What we collect

• Account details — your email address and a securely hashed password (we never store your password in plain text). If you sign in with Google, we receive your basic profile (name and email) from Google.
• Membership & payments — your plan and status. Payments are handled by Stripe; your card details go to Stripe directly and we don't see or store your full card number.
• How you use Actual Footy — pages viewed and actions taken, so we can understand what's useful and fix what isn't. This is tied to an anonymous id and your account once you sign in.
• Support messages — anything you send us through the contact form.

2How we use it

• To create and run your account and deliver the intelligence and reports.
• To process your membership and payments.
• To keep the service secure and prevent misuse.
• To understand usage and improve the product.
• To reply to you and, where you've agreed, send service-related messages.

3Who we share it with

We don't sell your data. We use a small set of trusted providers to run the service, each handling only what they need:

Provider	What for
Stripe	Payments and subscription billing
Google	"Sign in with Google" (only if you use it)
PostHog	Product analytics (usage)
Amazon Web Services	Hosting and data storage

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the service, our members or the public.

4Cookies

We use a session cookie to keep you signed in — that's essential for the service to work. We also use analytics to understand usage. We don't use advertising trackers.

5How long we keep it

We keep your account information while your account is active and for as long as we need it to meet legal, tax and security obligations. When you ask us to delete your account, we remove your personal information except anything we're required to retain.

6Your choices

You can ask us to access, correct or delete your personal information, or to close your account. Reach us through the contact page and we'll help. You can stop analytics tracking with your browser's privacy controls.

7Security

Passwords are hashed, connections are encrypted in transit, and access to account data is restricted. No system is perfectly secure, but we take protecting your data seriously.

8Changes

We'll post any updates here with a new "last updated" date. If a change is significant, we'll make a reasonable effort to let you know.
