What we collect
When you create an account, we collect your email address, username, saved predictions, league memberships, leaderboard totals, and basic technical information needed to keep you signed in and protect the service.
How we use it
Your data is used to run the prediction game: saving picks, calculating points, showing leaderboards, managing private leagues, preventing abuse, and fixing scoring or account issues. We do not sell your personal data.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar storage for sign-in sessions, security, and core site functionality. If advertising is enabled, third-party advertising partners may also use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to serve and measure ads.
Google advertising
WC2026 Predictor may display ads from Google AdSense. Google and its partners may place or read cookies in your browser, or use web beacons and IP addresses, as part of ad delivery and measurement. Learn more about how Google uses data on partner sites at Google's partner sites policy.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate site usage, such as page views, traffic sources, sign-up completion, and clicks on key navigation or prediction calls to action. This helps us improve the site and measure whether marketing campaigns are useful.
Children
This site is a general-audience football prediction game and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Data retention
Account and prediction data may be retained during the tournament and for up to 12 months afterwards so results, private leagues, and scoring history remain available. You can request account deletion at any time.
Your choices
You can request deletion of your account data, use browser controls to limit cookies, and review Google's ad settings for personalised advertising controls. Some cookies are required for sign-in and security.
