Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to PatAIstats.com. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you use our site, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

By using PatAIstats.com, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

a) When you create an account

We collect your email address and a password (stored securely — never in plaintext). We use this to verify your identity and give you access to Pick of the Day features. We do not ask for your name, phone number, date of birth, or payment details.

b) When you browse the site

Our hosting infrastructure automatically records your approximate country of origin and the time of your visit. This is anonymous — it cannot be used to identify you individually. We do not record your IP address, browser type, device, or individual pages visited.

c) What we do not collect

We do not use advertising trackers, analytics tools, or third-party tracking pixels. We do not collect payment information. We do not record which predictions you view or which picks you follow.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Email address: To verify your account at signup, allow password resets, and authenticate you when you sign in. Not used for marketing. Not sold or shared with third parties.
• Country / visit data: To understand general traffic patterns and display aggregate usage statistics on the site. Never linked to an individual.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. We store one small item in your browser's local storage:

• Your login session — kept after you sign in so you stay logged in between visits. Cleared when you sign out or after 30 days.

See our Cookie Policy for full details on how to clear this data.

5. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell or rent your personal data. To operate the site, we use trusted cloud infrastructure providers. Your personal data is processed only as necessary to deliver the service — specifically, your email address is handled by our authentication provider to manage login and account verification securely.

These providers are bound by contractual obligations to protect your data and may not use it for their own purposes. No personal data is shared with any sports data or AI services we use to generate predictions.

6. Data Security

All connections to this site use HTTPS encryption. Passwords are never stored in plaintext. Access to our infrastructure is restricted to authorised team members only.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time. If you are in the EU or UK, you also have rights under GDPR including the right to data portability and the right to object to processing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address in section 10. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Data Retention

• Account data: Kept for as long as your account is active. Deleted within 30 days of an account deletion request.
• Visit data: Retained only as long as needed to display aggregate usage statistics.

9. Children

This site is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from users under 18.
