Privacy Policy.
Last updated: 6 June 2026
This is the privacy policy for Football for Girlfriends (the "app"), a mobile application published by Hannah Blair ("we", "us") and available on the Apple App Store.
TL;DR
- We don't have user accounts and we don't collect your name, email, location, photos, contacts, or device ID.
- The only things you give the app are your football knowledge level and your partner's team — both stored only on your phone.
- The app calls a few third-party services (Anthropic, Wikipedia, BBC, Sky) to generate content. None of these calls include anything personal.
- We don't run ads, analytics, or tracking SDKs.
1. What data is on your phone
The app stores the following on your device only, in standard iOS app preferences. None of it is transmitted to us:
- Your football knowledge level (Newbie / Getting There / Clued Up)
- The football team your partner supports
- Your activity streak count, longest streak, and last-active date
- Your XP total and which modules / quizzes / achievements you've completed
- Whether you're a Premium subscriber
- Your rookie-mode toggle preference
- Cached AI-generated text (so we don't re-fetch it every time you open the app)
- Cached news headlines for the day
- Cached player photo URLs
You can clear all of this at any time by deleting the app.
2. What we share with third-party services
The app contacts the following services to generate content. We share only the minimum needed; we do not share your identity (because we don't know it).
Anthropic (AI provider)
Privacy: www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy
When the app generates the daily digest, conversation starter, chat brief, or fantasy advisor tip, it calls Anthropic's API. We send Anthropic:
- Your football knowledge level (e.g. "Newbie")
- Your partner's team name (e.g. "Chelsea") if you've set one
- The day's news headlines (publicly available)
- A short instruction prompt
We do not send your name, email, device ID, location, or any personal identifier. Anthropic processes the prompt and returns text. The conversation history is not retained for training your usage; see Anthropic's policy linked above for details.
Wikipedia / Wikimedia Foundation
Privacy: foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Privacy_policy
The app fetches player headshots from Wikipedia's public REST API and the Wikimedia image CDN. The request is anonymous (no identifier sent beyond a generic User-Agent string identifying the app for technical contact purposes).
BBC Sport
Privacy: www.bbc.co.uk/usingthebbc/privacy
The app fetches the public BBC Sport football news RSS feed once per day. Anonymous request.
Sky Sports
Privacy: www.skysports.com/privacy
The app fetches the public Sky Sports football news RSS feed once per day. Anonymous request.
Apple
Privacy: www.apple.com/legal/privacy
If you subscribe to Premium, Apple processes the payment through the App Store and tells the app whether your subscription is active. We never see your card details. Apple's standard App Store privacy policy applies.
3. What we do NOT do
- ❌ We do not have user accounts, sign-ups, or logins
- ❌ We do not run analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs (no Google Analytics, Firebase, Meta SDK, AppsFlyer, etc.)
- ❌ We do not collect your name, email, phone number, location, contacts, photos, or microphone audio
- ❌ We do not use cookies (the app is native, not a web app)
- ❌ We do not sell or share data with anyone for marketing purposes
4. Children
The app is rated 4+ on the App Store. It does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children, so it is COPPA / GDPR-K compliant by design.
5. Your rights
Because we don't hold any personal data about you, most data-subject rights (access, erasure, portability, objection) have no data to act on. If you want to be completely sure no trace of your usage remains, delete the app from your device — that removes everything.
If you have questions or want to exercise a right that isn't covered above, email hannahmirandablair@gmail.com and we'll respond within 30 days.
6. Where data is processed
- App preferences: only on your iPhone (UK / wherever you are)
- Anthropic API: servers in the United States
- Wikipedia / BBC / Sky: servers in the European Economic Area and United States
- Apple App Store: servers operated by Apple worldwide
Where data crosses borders to the United States, the transfer is covered by appropriate safeguards (standard contractual clauses) maintained by the third-party services.
7. Security
We rely on iOS's built-in app sandbox to keep your on-device data protected from other apps. All network requests are made over HTTPS. We don't ever transmit your data ourselves because we never collect it.
8. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top and, if the changes are material, surface a notice in the app. The current version is always linked from the in-app Settings.
