We process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases under the GDPR / UK GDPR:

5. How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information with the following categories of service providers strictly for the purposes of operating the Site:

We may also disclose information when required by law, valid legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Mav Jones, users, or others.

6. Public information

When you submit your bracket in the World Cup 2026 Predictor, your display name and final bracket picks become visible to other visitors on the public leaderboard. Do not use a display name you wouldn't want shown publicly.

7. Data retention

We keep account data and bracket data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion at any time by emailing mavjones@mavjones.com; we will delete or anonymize your data within a reasonable period unless we're required to keep it by law. Web server logs are retained for a limited period as standard for hosting operations.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal information:

To exercise these rights, email mavjones@mavjones.com. We respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

California residents (CCPA / CPRA): you have the right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold; to request deletion; to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell it); and to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.

EU / UK residents (GDPR / UK GDPR): in addition to the rights above, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

9. Cookies and similar technologies

We use the minimum necessary cookies and similar storage:

We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site behavioral tracking. You can block or delete cookies in your browser, but some Site features (sign-in, bracket save) will not function without them.

10. International data transfers

Our service providers (Supabase, hCaptcha, GoDaddy) are based in or process data through the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your personal information will be transferred to and processed in the U.S. By using the Site you consent to this transfer.

11. Children's privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13 years of age (or the equivalent minimum age under applicable law, such as 16 in parts of the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at mavjones@mavjones.com and we will promptly delete it.

12. Security

We use reasonable industry-standard safeguards including HTTPS for all traffic, hashed passwords via Supabase Auth, database row-level security so users can only access their own data, and CAPTCHA on authentication endpoints to deter bots. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.

13. Third-party links

The Site links to third-party services such as TikTok. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites and recommend reviewing their privacy policies independently.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above will reflect the most recent change. Material changes will be communicated through the Site and, for account holders, may be communicated by email to the address on your account.
