1. Overview
TurfGuard ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website turfguardapp.com and the TurfGuard Android application. This policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and how your privacy is safeguarded.
2. Information We Collect
We believe in radical data minimization. We only collect the bare minimum data required to operate match tracking, live broadcasting, and analytics:
- Match Event Data: Saves, goals, short corners, and shootout scores logged during matches. This data is stored locally on your device in the Room Database.
- Anonymous Spectator Telemetry: Spectators viewing live broadcasts transmit basic browser and screen dimension telemetry to help format heatmaps correctly. Spectators do not log in and provide zero personal names.
3. Live Match Broadcasts & Expiration
When a match host enables "Live Share", real-time score snapshots are temporarily relayed to our server under a random 6-character room code (e.g. #H8K2P9).
All live match broadcast data is strictly transient and automatically expires and purges from our servers 24 hours after match completion.
4. Payment Information (Google Play)
Android in-app purchases and unlocks are handled exclusively through the Google Play Store under Google's Privacy Policy. TurfGuard does not directly collect, process, or store credit card numbers or financial credentials.
5. Cookies & Local Storage
We do not use third-party advertising cookies. We use necessary browser localStorage to remember:
- Your sound alert preferences on the live viewer.
- Your local match timeline and undo buffer.
- Your cookie banner consent status.
6. Compliance with POPIA & GDPR
In accordance with the South African Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to request access to your stored user data or request permanent deletion by emailing us at support@turfguardapp.com.
