Information We Collect
KickoffHQ collects information you provide directly, such as when you create an account, set favorite teams, or contact us for support. We also collect information automatically, including your IP address, browser type, and usage data to improve our service.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to provide and improve our services, personalize your experience, send notifications about matches and alerts, and communicate with you about your account.
Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies to remember your preferences and to analyze site traffic via Google Analytics. Whether analytics needs your prior consent depends on where you are. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland, an analytics cookie identifying your browser is only set after you accept our consent banner; if you reject or ignore it, no analytics cookie is ever set on your device and you are never tracked individually. In other regions, where local law does not require prior opt-in, analytics cookies are enabled by default and the banner is a notice — you can opt out at any time via Cookie settings in the footer. Where analytics is denied, Google may still receive an anonymous, cookieless signal (rough browser and device type only — no cookie, no personal identifier) used to estimate overall site traffic in aggregate. Advertising cookies are never enabled by default in any regionand require your explicit acceptance. Where advertising is enabled, Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick/AdSense cookie) to serve ads on this site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info/choices. We do not sell your personal information.
Location Data
We use location in two ways. Approximate location is derived from your IP address (country, region, and an approximate city) to localize content, kickoff listings, and advertising. This is coarse, automatic, and requires no opt-in. Precise locationis optional: only if you choose “Use my precise location” will your browser ask permission to share your device coordinates. We use those coordinates once to determine your city and then discard them; we do not store your coordinates or track your movements. We store only the resulting city, and you can change or clear it at any time from the location selector. Declining precise location leaves you on approximate location with no loss of access.
Third-Party Services
We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting business, or serving our users. These parties are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential.
