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

We are based in the United Kingdom and comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Leagology is the data controller responsible for your personal data. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at hello@leagology.com

• Profile information: optional details you add to your profile
• Event data: tournaments, leagues, matches, and scores you create or participate in

We automatically collect certain information when you use our Service:

• Usage data: pages visited, features used, and actions taken
• Device information: browser type, operating system, and device type
• Log data: IP address, access times, and referring URLs

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our services

• Send you technical notices, updates, and support messages
• Respond to your comments, questions, and requests
• Monitor and analyse trends, usage, and activities

Under UK GDPR, we process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

• Contract: processing necessary to provide our services to you
• Legitimate interests: improving our services, preventing fraud, and ensuring security
• Consent: where you have given explicit consent (e.g., marketing communications)
• Legal obligation: compliance with applicable laws and regulations

We do not sell your personal information. We only share your information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: trusted third parties who assist in operating our service (e.g., Stripe for payments, email delivery services)
• Legal requirements: when required by law, court order, or governmental authority
• Protection of rights: to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

Event participants can see each other's display names and match results within shared tournaments and leagues. This visibility is necessary for the competitive nature of the service.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We will also retain and use your information as necessary to:

• Comply with our legal obligations
• Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements
• Maintain security and prevent fraud

When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal purposes.

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Rectification: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Erasure: request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
• Restriction: request limitation of processing in certain circumstances
• Portability: receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing
• Withdraw consent: withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@leagology.com. We will respond to your request within one month.

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit using TLS/SSL
• Secure password hashing
• Regular security assessments
• Access controls and authentication

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the UK. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Our Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete such information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.

For significant changes, we will provide additional notice, such as an email notification. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

If you have concerns about how we handle your personal data, please contact us first at hello@leagology.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your data protection rights have been violated. Visit ico.org.uk for more information.
