Privacy Policy
Effective date: April 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the NationTeam mobile application ("the App", "we", "us") handles information. We designed the App to collect as little data as possible: we do not ask you to sign up, and we do not share anything with third parties.
1. Information we do not collect
The App does not collect, upload, or share any personally identifiable information. Specifically:
- We do not require registration or any account.
- We do not request your location, camera, microphone, contacts, photo library, or any sensitive system permission.
- We do not use third-party analytics or crash reporting SDKs.
- We do not operate our own tracking system or retain logs tied to individual users on our servers.
2. Information stored locally on your device
The list of teams and players you choose to follow is stored on your device only, using the operating system's standard preferences storage (iOS UserDefaults, Android SharedPreferences). This data never leaves your device and is not visible to us. Uninstalling the App deletes it completely.
3. Information sent to our backend
To show schedules, live scores, standings, and the promotional content described below, the App issues HTTPS requests to our own backend at api.nationteam.one. That backend forwards match-data requests (with an API key held only on the server) to a licensed football data provider.
We do not send your name, account identifiers, advertising identifiers, or location. We do not retain request logs tied to individual users.
4. Promotional images (in-app ads)
The App may display two kinds of promotional images:
- A splash image shown for a few seconds when the App opens.
- A banner image anchored above the tab bar.
Both images are self-hosted: the image file and a click-through URL are configured by us on our own server and downloaded over HTTPS. No third-party advertising SDK is embedded in the App. If you tap an image, the App opens the configured URL in your device's default web browser — the App itself does not render the destination page.
No advertising identifier (IDFA / AAID) is used, no behavioural profile is built, and no data is shared with external advertising networks.
5. Children's privacy
The App is not directed at children under 13. The AdMob SDK is configured to request non-personalised advertising where required by applicable law. Because we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, no child-specific processing is performed on our side.
6. Security
All network traffic between the App, our backend, and third-party services is encrypted in transit using HTTPS. The upstream API key used by our backend is stored server-side and is never shipped inside the iOS or Android binary.
7. Your rights
Because we hold no personal data, there is nothing to access, correct, export, or delete from our servers. You can:
- Clear the locally stored followed-team list by uninstalling the App or clearing application data in your device settings.
- Revoke ad tracking permission in your device's system settings (iOS: Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking; Android: Settings > Privacy > Ads).
8. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and change the effective date at the top. The in-app Privacy Policy screen will always show the latest version.
