Football 2026 (World Football 2026 Countdown) · Pankaj Gaikar · Effective June 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Pankaj Gaikar (“we”, “us”, “Service Provider”) handles information when you use the Football 2026 mobile application (“App”) for iPhone and iPad, including widgets and related extensions.

Summary

Information we collect

On-device preferences. Selected country, wallpaper choice, notification settings, favorite matches, onboarding state, Pro unlock status, and similar settings are stored locally and, where applicable, in an App Group container shared with widgets.

Country selection. If you choose a country, we store its code and display name locally to personalize My Team, notifications, and widgets. We do not receive government ID or passport data.

Schedule and standings data. The App downloads public tournament data (matches, scores, groups) from worldcup26.ir. Requests include a generic app user-agent; no account is required.

Purchases. Football 2026 Pro (premium widgets) is a one-time non-consumable in-app purchase processed by Apple. We receive purchase entitlement status through StoreKit; we do not receive your payment card details.

Analytics and diagnostics. We may collect usage events and crash reports through Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to improve reliability. Data is aggregated where possible.

Notifications. If you enable notifications, the App schedules local reminders on your device. We do not operate a push notification server for match alerts.

How we use information

Third-party services

The App relies on services that process data under their own terms and privacy policies, including:

Data retention

Preferences and cached schedule data remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall the App. Analytics providers retain data according to their retention schedules. Contact us to request deletion of email inquiries.

Children

The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Your choices

International users

The Service Provider is based in India. By using the App, you understand that information may be processed in countries where we or our service providers operate.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.
