Privacy
Policy

Last updated 5 July 2026

Section 1

Who we are

Call the Scores is operated by White Arc (sole trader, UK) - the data controller. Contact: contact@whitearc.co.uk.

Section 2

What we collect

  • Account data - email address, password (stored hashed), display name.
  • Your preferences - favourite teams, sports, competitions, email preferences.
  • Your activity - predictions, points, league memberships, tournament participation.
  • Feedback you submit.
  • Technical data needed to run the service (authentication session).
Section 3

What we use it for and why

  • Providing the game (contract) - accounts, predictions, scoring, leaderboards, leagues.
  • Service emails - account confirmation, password resets and prediction deadline reminders (contract / legitimate interests - reminders can be switched off in your profile).
  • Marketing emails - only if you opt in (consent - withdraw any time in your profile or via unsubscribe).
  • Anonymous, aggregated analytics - counts of signups, leagues created and predictions made, which contain no personal data (legitimate interests).
  • Safety and moderation - legitimate interests.
Section 4

Leaderboards

Your display name, favourite team, points and ranks are visible to other signed-in users - this is core to the game. Choose a display name you are happy to show. Your email address is never shown to other users.

Section 5

Who we share data with

Our hosting and database provider (Lovable Cloud / Supabase) which stores data on our behalf; an email delivery provider for service and (if opted in) marketing emails. Sports data providers supply us with match data and receive no personal data about you. We do not sell your data. We do not currently show advertising; if that changes, this policy and our cookie consent will be updated first.

Section 6

Retention

We keep your data while your account exists. Deleting your account permanently removes your personal data (profile, predictions, memberships, email); leagues you created remain for their members without your ownership; anonymous aggregate statistics are retained.

Section 7

Your rights (UK GDPR)

Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent. Exercise them in-app (profile settings and account deletion) or by emailing contact@whitearc.co.uk. You can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Section 8

Children's Privacy

Call the Scores is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to remove that information from our systems. Users between 13 and 18 may use the service with the consent of a parent or guardian.

Section 9

International transfers

Data is stored within the UK/EEA or transferred with appropriate safeguards by our providers.

Section 10

We will flag material changes in the app.
