  • Cloud Hosting: Our app is hosted on secure cloud infrastructure provided by Google Cloud Platform.
  • Push Notifications: We use Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) and Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send notifications.

  • You can disable biometric login anytime in Settings.

7. Data Storage & Security

  • Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS/SSL.
  • Secure Storage: Your data is stored on secure, encrypted cloud servers provided by Google Cloud Platform.
  • Access Controls: Access to user data is restricted to authorized personnel who need it to provide support or maintain the service.
  • Regular Audits: We regularly review and update our security practices.
  • Password Security: Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms and never stored in plain text.
  • Report Issues: Report security concerns to security@recsoccer.app

8. Cookies & Analytics Tracking

  • Website Cookies: Our website uses cookies to remember your preferences (such as language selection) and analyze site traffic.
  • Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website. These cookies collect anonymous information about page views, time on site, and navigation patterns.
  • Essential Cookies: Some cookies are essential for the website to function properly (e.g., cookie consent preferences).
  • Cookie Consent: When you first visit our website, you can choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
  • Mobile App: The mobile app uses similar tracking technologies for analytics, but does not use traditional browser cookies.
  • Opt-Out: You can disable cookies in your browser settings. You can also opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

9. How We Use Your Data

  • Run core features: scheduling, rosters, chat, payments.
  • Send notifications about games, teams, and app updates.
  • Improve the app based on usage patterns and feedback.
  • Review reports submitted by players to keep the community safe.
  • Prevent fraud and ensure platform safety.
  • Comply with legal requirements when necessary.

10. Legal Bases (Where Applicable)

  • Consent: For location services, certain marketing, or optional analytics where required.
  • Contract: To deliver the services you request, such as managing teams, bookings, and notifications.
  • Legitimate Interests: Product improvement, security, and fraud prevention, balanced with your rights.
  • Legal Obligations: Tax, accounting, safety, and compliance requirements.

11. AI Features & Content Moderation

We do not use AI to scan, read, or filter your chat messages. Your conversations are not sent to any AI provider.

  • Content moderation is report-based. We review a message only when a player reports it or blocks another player. Messages that are never reported are not read by staff.
  • When you submit a report, the reported message, who sent it, and who reported it are shared with our moderation team so we can enforce our Community Guidelines.
  • Team suggestions (optional AI feature). If you ask for a team recommendation while joining a team, we send your profile details to OpenAI to generate that suggestion — your skill level, preferred positions, playing style, availability, years of experience, age group, an account identifier, and the names and descriptions of the teams being compared.
  • This happens only when you tap to request a suggestion. If you never use the feature, none of your data is sent to OpenAI.
  • League schedule parsing. We use OpenAI to read publicly published league schedule files from facility websites. These are public documents and contain no personal information about you.
  • OpenAI does not use this data to train their models, per their API data usage policy. Prompts sent to OpenAI may be retained by OpenAI for a limited period for abuse monitoring and service operation.

12. Push Notifications

  • We send push notifications for games, messages, and updates.
  • You control notification permissions in your device settings.
  • Manage notification types in the app's Settings screen.
  • You can disable all notifications anytime—the app still works.

13. Advertising

  • We display advertisements from Google AdMob (banner, interstitial, and rewarded video ads) and Klipy to keep the app free.
  • Ad partners may collect device IDs, IP address, and usage data for ad personalization and measurement.
  • You may see personalized ads based on your interests.
  • Rewarded video ads are optional—you may choose to watch them in exchange for Rec Coins. Rewarded ads are limited to 5 per day.
  • Interstitial ads may appear during natural app transitions and are frequency-capped.
  • Premium subscribers do not see advertisements and no ad-related data is collected for them.
  • Opt out of personalized ads in your device privacy settings.

14. Rec Pro Subscription

  • We offer an optional subscription, Rec Pro, at $1.99/month or $14.99/year, which removes all advertisements from the app.
  • Subscription payments are processed by Stripe. Stripe collects your payment method, billing details, and transaction history per their privacy policy.
  • We store your subscription status (active, cancelled, expired), subscription period dates, and Stripe customer ID in our database to manage your premium access.
  • Subscription status syncs in real-time across all your devices.
  • When you cancel, your Rec Pro access continues until the end of the current billing period.
  • You can manage or cancel your subscription in the app's Settings > Rec Pro tab, or through your Apple ID or Google Play account.

15. Rewarded Ads & Virtual Currency

  • You may voluntarily watch rewarded video ads to earn Rec Coins (in-app virtual currency).
  • Rewarded ad views are rate-limited (up to 5 per day) and validated server-side to prevent abuse.
  • We track the number of rewarded ads you watch per day for rate-limiting purposes. This data is not shared with third parties.
  • Coins earned from rewarded ads are credited to your account balance and can be used for in-app purchases.
