PRIVACY POLICY
The short version: we keep what we need to tell you about your teams, we don't sell it, and you can delete it anytime.
The waitlist
The app isn't out yet. If you join the waitlist on this website, here's what happens.
What we store: your email address, the date you signed up, and how you found us: the referral link you used (if any), the campaign tags in the link you clicked (like utm_source), the page you landed on, and your country (worked out from your connection, not your precise location). We also give you your own referral code so you can invite friends, and count how many people joined with it.
What we use it for: to email you when the app launches, plus the occasional pre-launch email (like a free weekly cheat sheet). To move you up the list when friends join with your link. To see which links bring people in.
Who helps us: Supabase stores the waitlist. Nitrosend sends our emails. Vercel hosts this website and gives us privacy-friendly visit counts without cookies. They process data for us and only for this purpose.
Cookies: if you arrive through a friend's referral link, we set one small cookie (ff_ref) for 30 days so they get credit when you sign up. That's the only cookie on this site.
We never sell your data. Not to advertisers, not to anyone.
Leaving: every email has an unsubscribe link. To have your waitlist entry deleted entirely, email support@fakefanatic.com and we'll remove it.
In the app
What we collect
Your email, if you make an account. The sports and teams you pick, and your quiz answers (including where you grew up and live, at the city level). The questions you ask the chatbot. Basic device and usage info, like app version and which screens you open. A notification token, if you turn on notifications.
What we don't collect
Your precise location, contacts, photos, or anything from other apps.
How we use it
To pick which games to show you, pin your teams, answer your questions, send the notifications you asked for, and fix bugs. We don't sell your data or share it with advertisers.
Who else sees it
A few service providers that help run the app: hosting, analytics, our sports-data provider, and the AI provider that answers chatbot questions. Chatbot questions are sent to the AI provider to generate an answer. They only get what they need to do that job. We'll share data if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Your teams and quiz answers stay until you change them or delete your account. Chat history is kept for 30 days unless you clear it sooner.
Your choices
Clear your chat history or delete your account in Settings. Turn off notifications in your phone's settings. Email us to get a copy of your data.
Kids
Fake Fanatic isn't meant for anyone under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Questions
Fake Fanatic, a Coltasa company. Email support@fakefanatic.com. If we change this policy in a big way, we'll tell you first.
