Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Footybox: Sticker Fun ("the app", "we", "us") handles information when you use the Footybox iOS application — a pocket box of football fun with six playful generators and a wall of collectible sticker badges.

1. Information we process

a. Album & profile on your device

Your stats and streak, unlocked sticker badges, history, settings, your chosen accent color, and the name and photo you optionally add are stored only on your device. There is no account, and we do not receive or upload this data. Your photo is read through the system photo picker and saved locally inside the app; deleting the app removes it.

b. AI content generation

Some generators (the Chant and Player Legend makers, and the optional flavor text in the footballer quiz) can create results using our hosted content service. When you use them online, the text you enter (such as a name) and an anonymous app identifier are sent over an encrypted connection (HTTPS) to generate a result. We do not ask for, or attach, your real identity. If you are offline, these generators fall back to built-in templates on your device.

c. Push notifications — Firebase Cloud Messaging

If you allow notifications, we use Firebase Cloud Messaging (a Google service) to deliver occasional messages — for example, a gentle nudge to come back and play. Firebase assigns your installation a push token and processes basic device information to deliver these messages. You can turn notifications off at any time in iOS Settings, and the app works fully without them.

d. Attribution & marketing measurement — AppsFlyer

We use AppsFlyer to understand which marketing source led to your install and to measure installs and sessions. AppsFlyer processes device identifiers and install/session events. If you grant tracking permission, this may include the Apple Advertising Identifier (IDFA).

e. Diagnostics

We may receive aggregated, anonymised crash and performance data to keep the app stable.

2. App Tracking Transparency

iOS asks your permission before the app can track you across other apps and websites. If you deny, AppsFlyer will not use the IDFA. Footybox plays exactly the same either way — no feature is gated behind it. You can change this any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

3. Third-party services

The services below process data on our behalf; their own policies apply:

• Google Firebase (push notifications) — firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• AppsFlyer (attribution) — appsflyer.com/legal
• Apple (App Store) — apple.com/legal/privacy

4. How we use information

• To generate the chants, legends and other results you ask for.
• To send notifications you have opted into.
• To measure the effectiveness of our marketing.
• To keep the app secure and stable.

We do not sell your personal information.

5. Data retention

Data on your device — including your name and photo — remains until you delete the app. Text sent to the AI content service is used to produce your result and is not tied to your identity. Data held by our providers follows their standard retention periods.

6. Children

Footybox is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

7. Your choices

• Photo & name — entirely optional; add or remove them in Settings.
• AI generators — optional; use the offline templates by staying disconnected.
• Notifications — turn off any time in iOS Settings.
• Tracking — deny or revoke in iOS Settings.
• App data — delete the app to remove all local data.
• Requests — email us to ask a question or request deletion of data associated with your device.

8. Security

Any requests to our service and providers are sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect the limited data we process.

9. International users

Our providers may process data on servers outside your country. By using Footybox you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in those locations.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest version. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
