Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9 June 2026
MatchCall ("we", "our", or "us") is a football score prediction game. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.
Information We Collect
When you use MatchCall we may collect:
- Anonymous account data — on first launch we create an anonymous Firebase Auth account. No email address or password is required.
- Display name and avatar emoji — you choose these when submitting your first prediction. They are visible to other players in shared rooms.
- Prediction data — your score predictions, halftime guesses, and other in-game choices are stored in Firestore and used to calculate your points and leaderboard position.
- Crash and diagnostic data — Firebase Crashlytics collects anonymised crash reports and performance data to help us fix bugs.
- Advertising identifier — free users are shown ads via Google AdMob. On iOS we request permission under Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework before using your advertising identifier.
- Purchase receipts — if you upgrade to MatchCall Pro, RevenueCat processes your purchase and tells us your entitlement status. We do not store full payment details.
How We Use Your Information
- To run the prediction game, score your predictions, and display leaderboards.
- To show your display name and avatar to friends in rooms you join.
- To serve relevant football advertisements to free users via AdMob.
- To manage Pro subscriptions and remove ads for paying users.
- To send push notifications about match results and room reveals (Pro users only, requires your explicit permission).
- To diagnose crashes and improve app stability.
Data Retention
Your anonymous account and prediction history are retained for the duration of the active tournament season and for a reasonable period afterwards. You can request deletion at any time by contacting us.
Third-Party Services
MatchCall uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:
- Firebase (Google) — authentication, database (Firestore), cloud functions, remote config, and crash reporting (Crashlytics).
- Google AdMob — advertisement delivery for free users. AdMob may use your advertising identifier to personalise ads subject to your ATT consent choice on iOS.
- RevenueCat — in-app purchase management for the Pro upgrade. RevenueCat receives purchase receipts to verify and manage your entitlement.
Children's Privacy
MatchCall is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
