Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
1. What we collect
GameAlerts collects the minimum information needed to provide the service:
- Account information — your email address and name, provided when you sign up via Google or email through Clerk.
- Team preferences — the sports teams you choose to follow, stored so your feed can be filtered accordingly.
- Push notification subscriptions — if you opt in, a browser-generated subscription token is stored to deliver notifications. No device identifiers are collected.
- Usage data — anonymous page view and interaction data collected by Vercel Analytics to help us understand how the product is used. No personal identifiers are attached.
We do not collect payment information, precise location data, or any data beyond what is necessary to operate the service.
2. How we use it
- To authenticate you and maintain your account.
- To filter your live feed to the teams you follow.
- To send push notifications when you have opted in.
- To improve and debug the service using anonymised usage data.
We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Third-party services
- Clerk — handles authentication and account management. Clerk Privacy Policy.
- Vercel — hosts the frontend and provides anonymised analytics. Vercel Privacy Policy.
- Sports data providers — live play-by-play data is sourced from third-party sports data APIs. No personal data is shared with these providers.
4. Data retention
Your account data and team preferences are retained for as long as your account is active. Push notification subscriptions are deleted when you unsubscribe or when the browser invalidates the token. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.
5. Your rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below. We will respond within 30 days.
6. Security
Account credentials are managed entirely by Clerk and never stored directly by GameAlerts. Data is transmitted over HTTPS. We take reasonable precautions to protect the data we do store, but no system is perfectly secure.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
