This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and Android application (the "Service").
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to provide a great fan experience:
- Usage Data: Predictions you make, poll votes, and app interaction data stored locally in your browser/device using localStorage and IndexedDB.
- Device Information: Basic device type and browser information for analytics and improving compatibility (if you opt into anonymous analytics).

3. Data Storage & Security
Most of your data (predictions, settings) is stored locally on your device. We do not have access to it unless you explicitly share it.
When you use Premium features or submit forms, data is transmitted over secure HTTPS connections and stored on secure servers with industry-standard encryption.
4. Third-Party Services
We may use the following third-party services:
