Depending on the Product, collection and use items of Personal Data may be required for the services to work.

We provide you several ways to manage your preferences:

1. Cookie Use and Controls.

Cookies serve a wide variety of purposes. Cookies are pieces of data stored in your web browser that are transmitted to websites to remember your browser over time and distinguish it from other users. You have choices regarding cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies, certain functionality on our websites will not work.

One way to think about cookies is based on their function. The following settings will control our use of browser cookies, the use of IP address for tracking, and the collection and use of data for cookie-based, interest-based advertising.

  • [ IN ] Required Cookies: These strictly necessary cookies are used for core functionality, and recognise when you are signed in, remember things such as shopping carts and text entered, are necessary for security, and enforce your privacy preferences. Without these cookies, some functionality on our websites will fail. You can block these cookies in your browser preferences.
  • [ IN / OUT ] Functional Cookies: These cookies help to improve the sites by allowing us to understand how the site is used and how the site performs. These cookies include analytics and measurement.
  • [ IN / OUT ] Advertising Cookies: These cookies help us and other parties personalise ads that are shown to you on our sites and services, as well as on other sites. If enabled, these cookies will allow Third-Parties engaged in interest-based advertising on our site to recognise your browser software on other sites too.

2. IP Address Use.

An IP address refers to an identifier assigned by a network to a computer, mobile device, Internet of Things (IoT) device, or routing device. IP addresses, for purposes of this Privacy Policy, include "public" IP addresses, such as the IP address for a home router that is visible to the Internet, as well as "local" IP addresses, which are IP addresses assigned to computers and mobile devices "behind" a router (such as a home router). Our advertising and analytics partners may use IP addresses to group or correlate devices for purposes of analytics, security and anti-fraud purposes, interest-based advertising, ad targeting, ad attribution, and limiting ad frequency. You can choose not to have IP address used for purposes of advertising or analytics by using the cookie controls for "Advertising Cookies," and "Performance/Analytics," above.

3. Web Pixels or Beacons Use.

Pixels are extremely small image files that, when loaded by your web browser, cause the browser to make a network request to the party corresponding to the pixel. If that party's cookies are currently stored in your browser, those cookies will be transmitted with the request. Beacons can be used on web pages for advertising or to confirm the opening of a marketing email. When used in conjunction with cookies for interest-based-advertising, the cookie controls above can be used to control the purpose for which they are used.

4. HTML5 Local Storage.

HTML5 Local Storage in the browser is different from cookies, but can be used for the same purpose (to pair a tracking ID to a particular web server with your web browser so that the web server can identify your web browser over time). You can control the purpose for which HTML5 Local Storage is used by using the cookie controls outlined above.

5. Flash Cookie Use.

Flash cookies are "local shared objects" used by Flash player to store data, similar to cookies. If you have Flash installed, and wish to delete, block, or manage Flash cookies, please use the Flash settings panel made available by Adobe.

6. Manage Your Location services.

You can also turn off the transmission of precise Location Data by turning off those services using your mobile device's built-in settings. Turning off location may cause some of our services not to work.

7. Change Consent Settings for Communication Preferences.

Consent for Email Communication: After signing up for email communications, you can choose to unsubscribe using the unsubscribe link in any email we send.

If you use more than one Product, then unsubscribing from the emails relating to that Product will not stop you from receiving emails from other Products. Please note that if you unsubscribe from "all emails" this means that you will still receive email communications from us if they are necessary to provide the Footsapp Limited service or to confirm or validate a transaction, recover accounts, etc.

Mobile Push Notifications: As an organiser/captain, you can manage the type of push notifications you receive from Footsapp by modifying the settings within Footsapp.

You may also set your mobile device settings to not allow push notifications from all Footsapp Limited products.


Data Retention

For these purposes, an "active account" means interaction with our Products (websites or applications), emails or ongoing payments for Footsapp Limited services. We will retain your Personal Data for as long as you maintain an active account, and then on a limited basis, as is as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our rights/agreements and basic necessary administrative purposes.

Where we no longer need to process your Personal Data for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy Footsapp will delete your Personal Data from our systems. This will be no later than after an account is inactive for a period of7 years after the last activity.

Where permissible and to the extent it is not needed to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our rights/agreements and basic necessary administrative purposes, we will also delete your Personal Data upon your request. If you would like to make a deletion request, or have any questions about our data retention practices, please contact info@footsapp.com.


Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of Personal Data and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to Personal Data. Please be advised, however, that we cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with the storage and transmission of Personal Data.

Our services may provide a link or otherwise provide access to Third-Party Sites. We provide these links merely for your convenience. We have no control over, do not review, and are not responsible for Third-Party Sites, their content, or any goods or services available through the Third-Party Sites.
