This Privacy Policy applies to the Efootmeta website and its player, squad, build, tier-list, and match-tracking tools. It is written in plain language and should be read together with the Terms of Service.
1. Who is responsible
Efootmeta is the operator responsible for the personal information described in this policy. For privacy questions or requests, contact efootmeta@gmail.com.
2. Information we collect
Account information
- Email address and password credentials used to create and sign in to an account.
- Basic account and session information needed to keep you signed in and associate your data with your account.
Passwords should be stored by the authentication system in protected form; Efootmeta does not need to display your password in readable form.
User-created information
- Match tracker records, results, formations, lineups, and match notes.
- Squads, player builds, tracked-player notes, tier lists, reviews, comments, and related preferences.
Technical information
Hosting and security systems may process limited technical information such as IP address, browser/device information, timestamps, request logs, and error details. We use this information to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the service.
Local browser storage
The site may use local storage for guest tools, user-specific cached data, language/theme preferences, recent players, and temporary interface state. Local storage remains on your device until you clear it or the site removes it. Account data is synchronized to the account after sign-in when the relevant tool supports synchronization.
3. How we use information
- To create accounts, authenticate users, maintain sessions, and prevent unauthorized access.
- To save and restore your tools across visits and devices.
- To provide search, calculations, player data, comments, reviews, and community features.
- To monitor reliability, investigate abuse, prevent fraud, and protect the service.
- To communicate about support requests or material service changes.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
4. Legal bases
Where privacy law requires a legal basis, we generally process information because it is necessary to provide a service you request, to pursue legitimate interests such as security and service improvement, to comply with law, or because you have given consent for a specific optional purpose.
5. Sharing and service providers
We may share information with providers that help us host the site, store data, authenticate accounts, monitor security, or deliver requested functionality. Providers should receive only the information needed for their service and must handle it under their contractual or legal obligations.
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect users or the service, or as part of a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition. We do not sell account passwords.
6. International processing
Our hosting, database, authentication, or infrastructure providers may process information in countries other than where you live. Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
7. Retention and deletion
We keep account and user-created data while your account is active or as needed to provide the service. We may retain limited records for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, backups, or legal obligations. You can request account and associated data deletion by contacting us; some records may remain temporarily in backups or where retention is legally required.
8. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request deletion or restriction of processing.
- Object to certain processing or withdraw consent where consent is the basis.
- Receive portable copies of information where applicable.
- Complain to your local data protection authority.
