Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 30, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how KestrelFoot ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website at https://www.kestrelfoot.com and our application (collectively, the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide when you create an account using Google OAuth (your name, email address, and profile picture). We collect information about your use of the Service (search queries, saved players, watchlist entries, and session activity). When you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed by PayPal; we do not store your payment card details.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to provide and improve the Service, authenticate your account, process subscription payments through PayPal, send you watchlist and product notifications, and ensure the security of our platform.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, preferences, analytics (Google Analytics), and advertising (Google AdSense, shown only to users on the Free plan). You can manage your cookie preferences through the consent banner displayed on your first visit, or by clearing cookies in your browser settings.

4. Advertising and Google AdSense

Free-plan users may see advertisements served by Google AdSense and its partners. Google may use cookies and identifiers to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting https://www.google.com/settings/ads. Paid-plan users do not see advertisements.

5. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers: Google (OAuth sign-in, Analytics, AdSense), PayPal (payment processing), and our cloud hosting provider. Each operates under its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers necessary to operate the Service (e.g., payment processors, hosting), or when required by law.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. EU/UK residents have rights under GDPR; California residents have rights under CCPA. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

8. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We rely on appropriate safeguards required by applicable law for such transfers.

10. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not intended for users under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected].

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated through the Service.
