Privacy Policy

We protect fans,
not track them.

Footlo AI is built on a simple belief: fan intelligence should help you navigate the beautiful game — not harvest your data. This policy explains exactly what we collect, why, and how we protect it.

Reviewer note: Footlo AI is an independent fan intelligence platform. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by any football governing body or organizing committee. Medical and transport information is provided for general guidance only. Always contact local emergency services (911 in the US and Canada, 911 in Mexico) for urgent health matters. Footlo AI does not provide medical or emergency services and is not responsible for outcomes resulting from the use of any third-party service accessed through the app.

1. Who We Are

Footlo AI ("Footlo," "we," "us," or "our") is a real-time fan intelligence platform designed for fans attending and following the beautiful game across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. We help fans navigate stadiums and cities, find food and local businesses, book transport, and access essential services — all in one app.

Footlo AI Inc. acts as the data controller for all personal data collected through the Footlo AI application and website.

2. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide

When you create an account, you provide your name, email address, and password. When you set up your profile, you may share your favourite team, preferred language, and home city. If you contact our support team, we receive any messages you send us. We only collect what you choose to give us.

B. Automatically Collected Information

When you use the app, we automatically collect technical information including your device type, operating system version, and app version. We collect usage data such as which features you access, which pages you visit, and how long your sessions last. This helps us understand how the app is being used so we can improve it. If the app crashes, we collect an anonymous crash report to help us fix bugs.

C. Analytics

We use Firebase Analytics, a service provided by Google, to understand how fans interact with the app. All analytics data is aggregated and does not directly identify you. This means we see patterns across all users — never individual profiles. We use this information solely to improve the Footlo AI experience and never to profile or target you individually.

D. AI and LLM Interactions

When you use the "Ask Footlo" AI feature, your queries are sent to third-party Large Language Model (LLM) providers to generate real-time responses. These queries are used only to answer your question. They are not linked to your identity, not used to train any AI model, and not used for marketing purposes of any kind.

E. Biometric Authentication

If you choose to enable Face ID or Touch ID to log in to Footlo AI, your biometric data is handled exclusively by your device's Secure Enclave — the protected hardware chip built into your iPhone or Android device. Footlo AI never accesses, transmits, receives, or stores your biometric information. We only receive a simple pass or fail signal from your device.

F. Third-Party Sign-In

If you choose to sign in using your Apple ID or Google account, we receive only your name and email address from those providers. We do not receive your Apple or Google password, and we do not have access to any other information in your Apple or Google account.

We do NOT collect:

  • Precise GPS coordinates stored on our servers
  • Financial information or payment card details
  • Your contacts, address book, or call history
  • Camera or microphone data
  • Biometric data of any kind
  • Your browsing history outside of Footlo AI

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide and personalise your Footlo AI experience. This means recommending the clearest stadium gate based on real-time crowd data, showing you relevant food and transport options near you, and surfacing local businesses that match your preferences and dietary requirements. When you use the Ask Footlo AI feature, we process your query to generate a helpful response.

We send you match-day notifications only if you have explicitly opted in through your device's notification settings. You can withdraw this permission at any time. We use your information to respond to your support requests and to improve the app through anonymised analytics. We also use your information where required to comply with applicable law across the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

We do NOT:

  • Sell your personal data — to anyone, ever
  • Share your data with advertising networks
  • Use your data to build advertising profiles
  • Make automated decisions that legally affect your rights
  • Use your data for any purpose not described in this policy

4. Location Data

Footlo AI requests permission to access your location in order to power features that are most useful when you are at or near the stadium. With your permission, we use location data to recommend the clearest stadium gate based on your position, show you the nearest food, grocery, and medical options, and suggest the best transport options from your current location.

Footlo AI may process precise location on your device to provide features such as gate navigation and nearby recommendations. However, we do not store or retain precise GPS coordinates on our servers. Your exact location is never uploaded to or kept in our database. Location is processed on-device wherever technically possible.

You can deny location permission and still use most features of Footlo AI. You can revoke location access at any time through your device settings. Revoking access does not delete your account or any other data.

5. Affiliate Links & How We Share Data

Affiliate Disclosure

Some links within Footlo AI — including links to transport providers, grocery delivery services, travel insurance, and financial services — may be affiliate links. This means Footlo AI may earn a commission if you choose to sign up for or purchase those services after tapping the link. This commission never affects the price you pay. We do not share your personal data with these partners. All transactions occur directly between you and the third-party provider under their own terms and privacy policies.

Service Providers

We share data with trusted service providers who help us operate the app. Our primary provider is Google Firebase, which handles our database, user authentication, analytics, and crash reporting. These providers are bound by strict data processing agreements and are contractually prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.

Transport, Grocery & Delivery Partners

When you tap a button to book Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, Wise, or any other external service, you leave the Footlo AI app and are redirected to that provider's own app or website. Footlo does not share your personal profile, name, or email with these providers. They receive only the information you directly provide to them when you arrive on their platform.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by valid law, regulation, or court order in the United States, Mexico, or Canada. We may also disclose information where we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect the safety of our users or the public. Where legally permitted, we will notify you before making any such disclosure.

We NEVER:

  • Sell your personal data to any third party
  • Share your data with advertising networks or data brokers
  • Allow partners to use your data for their own marketing
  • Disclose data beyond what is described in this policy

6. Data Retention & Account Deletion

We retain your data only for as long as it is necessary to provide the service or as required by applicable law.

Account data
Retained while your account is active, plus 30 days after deletion
Analytics data
Retained in aggregated, anonymous form for up to 2 years
Crash reports
Retained for 90 days, then automatically deleted
Support messages
Retained for 1 year from the date of your last message

Delete Your Account Directly In-App

You do not need to email us to delete your account. You can permanently delete your account and all associated personal data directly within the app. Once deleted, your data is permanently and irreversibly removed from our systems within 30 days, except where retention is specifically required by law.

Path:
Profile → Settings → Account Security → Delete Account

7. Your Rights by Region

Because Footlo AI operates across three countries and serves fans from around the world, your privacy rights may differ depending on where you live. We honour all of the following rights to every user, regardless of location.

🇺🇸

USA — California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

California residents have the right to know what personal data we collect and how it is used, the right to request deletion of their data, and the right to opt out of the "sale" of personal data. Footlo AI does not sell personal data. You will never be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.

🇲🇽

Mexico — LFPDPPP (ARCO Rights)

Residents of Mexico may exercise their rights under the Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares. These are known as ARCO rights: Acceso (Access your data), Rectificación (Correct inaccurate data), Cancelación (Request deletion of your data), and Oposición (Object to processing of your data). To exercise any ARCO right, email privacy@footlo.ai. We will respond within 30 days.

🇨🇦

Canada — PIPEDA

Canadian users have the right to access the personal information we hold about them, to request corrections to inaccurate information, to withdraw consent for non-essential processing at any time, and to challenge our compliance with PIPEDA. Requests should be directed to privacy@footlo.ai.

🇪🇺

EU / UK — General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

European and UK users have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of their personal data, the right to data portability (receiving their data in a machine-readable format), the right to object to processing, the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing, and the right to lodge a complaint with their local data protection supervisory authority. EU/UK requests should be directed to eu-privacy@footlo.ai.

How to Make a Request

Email privacy@footlo.ai with your name, the right you wish to exercise, and a brief description of your request. We will respond within 30 days. For EU/UK residents: eu-privacy@footlo.ai.

8. Children's Privacy

Footlo AI is not intended for children under the age of 13 in the United States and Canada, or under the minimum legal age required in your country (which is 16 in some EU member states). We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children. The football experience Footlo is designed for is intended for teenage and adult fans.

If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under the minimum applicable age, we will delete that data immediately and without notice. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at privacy@footlo.ai.

9. Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement industry-standard protections across every layer of the Footlo AI platform. All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3, the current gold standard for internet security. All data stored in our database is encrypted at rest through Google Firebase's built-in encryption system.

We use Firebase App Check to verify that every request to our backend comes from a legitimate Footlo AI app, preventing unauthorised access to our systems. Our authentication system uses secure, salted password hashing. We conduct regular security reviews of our infrastructure and code.

No method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure. While we follow best practices and invest in strong security, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights or freedoms, we will notify you promptly as required by applicable law.

10. Third-Party Services

Footlo AI contains links and integrations with third-party services, including transport providers such as Uber, Lyft, and Waymo, food and grocery delivery services such as DoorDash and Instacart, travel insurance providers such as World Nomads and Allianz, and financial services such as Wise and Revolut. When you tap any of these links, you leave the Footlo AI app and enter those providers' own platforms.

Footlo AI is not responsible for the privacy practices, data handling, or security of any third-party service. We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external service before providing them with your personal information. The presence of a link or integration in Footlo AI does not constitute an endorsement of that service's privacy practices.

11. International Data Transfers

Footlo AI is operated from the United States. When you use the app from Mexico, Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or any other country, your personal data will be transferred to and processed in the United States. US data protection laws may differ from those in your home country.

We use Google Firebase as our primary infrastructure provider. Google provides appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, ensuring that your data receives a level of protection consistent with GDPR requirements regardless of where it is processed.

For transfers from Mexico: we conduct international transfers in compliance with the LFPDPPP and its applicable provisions on cross-border data transfers, ensuring that recipients provide equivalent levels of protection to those required under Mexican law.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as Footlo AI evolves, as new features are added, or as legal requirements change. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through an in-app notice before the change takes effect. For major changes that materially affect how we use your personal data, we will also send an email notification to the address associated with your account, giving you advance notice.

The "Last updated" date shown at the top of this page always reflects the date of the most recent revision. Your continued use of Footlo AI after a policy update takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. If you do not agree with any changes, you may delete your account at any time as described in Section 6.

13. Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or to the way Footlo AI handles your personal data, please reach out to us. We are committed to responding to all privacy-related enquiries within 30 days.
