- 1. Information we collect
- When you sign in with a Google account, we receive the account identifier, email address, name and profile photo URL provided by Google. While you use the Service, we store your nickname; the content of comments, votes, predictions, enquiries and reports you submit; your follows and notification settings; and your sign-in times with a device summary (browser and OS type). We do not collect passwords.
- 2. How we use it
- We use this information only to identify members and keep them signed in, to provide community features, to prevent abuse and handle reports, to respond to enquiries, and for anonymous statistics to improve the Service. We do not use it for advertising or marketing.
- 3. Disclosure to third parties
- We do not sell or disclose the personal information we collect to third parties. Sign-in authentication is handled by Google and is governed by Google's privacy policy.
- 4. Retention and deletion
- When you delete your account, your email address and account identifier are replaced with irreversible values, and your name, profile photo, follows, sign-in history and settings are deleted immediately. Comments, votes and enquiries you have already submitted remain, anonymised as ‘Former member’. Where applicable law requires retention, we keep the information for the period required.
- 5. Cookies and browser storage
- We use a session cookie to keep you signed in, and cookies and browser storage to save favourites when you are not signed in. You can refuse these in your browser settings, but some features may not work.
- 6. Visitor analytics
- To improve the Service, we use a self-hosted analytics tool (Umami) to aggregate pages visited, referral sources, browser and device types, and visitors' country and region. It uses no cookies, does not store IP addresses, and is used only for statistics that do not identify individuals. This data is not shared externally.
- 7. Your rights
- Members can change their nickname and delete their account themselves on the My account page. Please send any other requests for access, correction or deletion via Customer enquiries.
- 9. Changed
- If this policy changes, we will give notice on the Service before the changes take effect.
