Legal
Privacy Policy
Effective date: 29 May 2026. This policy explains what happens when you use the FIFA World Cup 2026 fan hub at this website.
Summary
This is a small, unofficial fan site. We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not sell your personal information. Most “personalization” (favorite teams, simulator scores, theme) stays in your own browser via localStorage.
Who operates this site
The site is operated by niranyousf (niranyousuf.me). For privacy questions, contact via that website. This project is not affiliated with FIFA or any national federation.
Information we do not collect directly
We do not operate a login system and do not intentionally collect:
- Name, email address, or postal address
- Payment or billing information
- Precise geolocation from your device
- Contacts, photos, or files from your device
Browser storage we use
When you use the site, data may be saved in your browser so features work without an account. Nothing in the table below is uploaded to our servers as a personal profile.
localStorage (persists until cleared or expired)
| Key | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| wc2026_favorite_teams | Starred / favorite national teams for personalized feeds | 60 days (then removed automatically) |
| wc2026_tournament_simulator_v1 | Tournament prediction simulator scores (group + knockout) | 60 days from last save (then removed automatically) |
| theme | Light or dark colour theme preference | Until you clear it or use the button below |
Favorites and simulator data automatically expire after 60 days from the last save. The theme preference does not expire until you remove it.
Server-side data
Tournament data from third parties
Fixtures, standings, and team information are fetched from the Zafronix World Cup API from our servers. Those requests may include your IP address and are subject to the API provider’s policies. Responses may be cached on disk to reduce API usage.
Hosting and logs
If you deploy or access this site on a host such as Vercel, the host may log standard web data (IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamps) for security and operations. Vercel Web Analytics may be enabled for aggregate traffic insights in the host dashboard (not shown on this site).
Children
The site is intended for general football fans and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this page when features or storage change. The effective date at the top will be revised. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
Delete your data
Because favorites and simulator scores live in your browser, you can remove them at any time. Choose one of the options below.
Option 1 — Clear everything for this site (recommended)
This button removes all localStorage and sessionStorage keys listed above for this website in the browser you are using now:
Option 2 — Use in-app reset controls
- Tournament prediction simulator — Reset all, or reset an individual group / knockout round.
- Favorite teams — Unstar teams from the search bar or team pages (updates localStorage).
- Theme — Use the theme toggle; clearing browser data resets to default.
Option 3 — Browser settings
In your browser, open site settings or “Clear browsing data” and remove cookies and site data for this domain. That deletes localStorage, sessionStorage, and any other data this origin stored. Exact steps depend on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge.
