1. Commitment to Privacy
Welcome to World Cup Scores 2026. We believe that your private information belongs entirely to you. This application is meticulously engineered to protect your personal details. We are proud to operate a strict, absolute No Data Collection policy.
Because we do not collect any personal data, we never sell, trade, or distribute your details to advertisers, analytical corporations, or any other third parties.
2. Complete Local Storage
All customization features, favorite team pins, and settings you select in the app are processed and stored exclusively on your own physical device. We utilize standard iOS secure storage solutions (UserDefaults) to preserve the following selections locally:
- Your designated favorite country/team (pinned score banner preference).
- Display configurations, including Compact Mode.
- Push notification preferences (Goals, Starts, Ends, Red Cards, and Upsets).
This information is processed offline on your device, and is never uploaded to any remote server maintained by us.
🔒 Zero Network Tracking: When our iOS App requests real-time match data from our hosted proxy (https://wcs.paynebrainapps.com), the request is entirely anonymous. No device identifiers, IP addresses, or location data are stored or compiled on our server logs.
3. Premium Upgrades & StoreKit 2
If you choose to purchase the "Remove Ads" in-app upgrade, the transaction is processed directly and securely by the Apple App Store utilizing iOS StoreKit 2.
- We do not collect or store your name, credit card details, or billing information.
- Purchases are validated locally on-device using secure cryptographic validation (Receipt Validation).
- Local flags are securely cached on your device to ensure you enjoy your ad-free premium state even when offline.
4. Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)
To support ongoing development and API maintenance, the free version of this app displays advertisements using the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob).
AdMob may collect anonymized system analytics or advertising identifiers (such as the IDFA) to serve relevant advertising. These operations are subject to Google's standard privacy guidelines. You can easily opt out of personalized ad tracking in your iOS device settings or purchase the "Remove Ads" upgrade to turn off ad scripts completely.
