Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

PitchAlert ("the extension", "we", "us") is a Chrome extension that helps you track your national team's FIFA World Cup 2026 matches with a live countdown, local kickoff times, and reminders. The extension is published by an independent developer and distributed through the Chrome Web Store.

If you have questions about this policy, email us at tgparm973@gmail.com.

2. What data we collect, short answer: almost nothing

The free version of PitchAlert collects no personal data whatsoever. We have no servers, no analytics pipeline, and no database of user records.

The only information stored when you use the free extension is:

• The national team you selected.
• Your reminder preferences (which of the 24 h / 3 h / 30 min reminders are toggled on).

Both items are stored exclusively on your device using Chrome's storage.local API. This data never leaves your browser and is deleted automatically when you uninstall the extension.

3. Paid (Pro) users

When you purchase the Pro upgrade, we need to verify your entitlement. To do this, a non-personally-identifying purchase identifier (issued by Paddle, our payment processor) is sent from your browser to our backend solely to confirm that a valid paid licence exists. We store only this identifier, not your name, email address, payment details, or any other personal information.

All payment information (card number, billing address, etc.) is handled entirely by Paddle.com, our Merchant of Record and payment processor. We never see or store your payment data. Paddle's own privacy policy governs how they handle your data: paddle.com/legal/privacy.

4. Permissions the extension requests

• alarms, to schedule and fire match reminders (24 h / 3 h / 30 min) at the correct time, even when the popup is closed.
• notifications, to display the Chrome notification that tells you a match is starting soon.
• storage, to save your selected team and reminder settings locally on your device.

PitchAlert requests no host permissions and makes no network requests in the free version. The full match schedule is bundled inside the extension package.

5. Third parties, advertising, and analytics

None. PitchAlert does not use third-party analytics services (e.g. Google Analytics), advertising networks, crash-reporting SDKs, or any other external service in the free version. No data is sold to or shared with third parties.

6. Cookies and tracking

The PitchAlert extension sets no cookies and performs no cross-site tracking. This landing website also uses no analytics cookies, no tracking pixels, and no third-party scripts.

7. Children's privacy

PitchAlert does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). Because we collect no personal data at all in the free version, no special measures are required, but if you believe a child has provided us with data in connection with a paid purchase, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Data retention and deletion

Free version: all local settings are deleted automatically when the extension is uninstalled. There is nothing stored on our side to delete.

Paid version: we retain the purchase identifier for as long as you hold an active licence, and for a reasonable period afterwards in case of refund or support requests. You may request deletion at any time by emailing tgparm973@gmail.com.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable data protection law, including the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. Because the free version holds no personal data on our servers, there is nothing to request. For paid users, contact us at tgparm973@gmail.com with any such request.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the extension after a material change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. For significant changes, we will provide notice in the Chrome Web Store listing.

11. Affiliation disclaimer

PitchAlert is an unofficial fan tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by FIFA or any national football association. "FIFA World Cup", "World Cup", and related marks are trademarks of their respective owners.
