✓ Add or claim your venue listing
✓ Update your venue details
✓ Correct match screening information
✓ Change your email preferences
✓ Request removal from the app
✓ Ask what data we hold about your venue

Privacy & data

What we collect and why

A plain-English summary of how MatchWatch handles data while we run our MVP. The full detail lives in the privacy notice and the cookies & browser storage notice.

What we collect

Public venue details (name, address, listed contact info)
Match screening responses you give us
Contact and communication preferences
Limited, cookieless app-usage data to improve the service

We use no cookies. Usage measurement is limited, self-hosted analytics — no advertising or cross-site trackers, aggregate-only, with an on/off switch in the cookies notice — and nothing is stored on your device beyond your own choices (your filters, your map location if you share it, your analytics switch).

Why we collect it

Only to operate MatchWatch: to show fans accurate listings, verify whether a venue is screening a fixture, and respond to venue requests.

Your choices

Venues can update details, change email preferences, or request removal at any time. We never sell your data.
