Privacy policy

Last Updated: 20 July 2026

Introduction

Welcome to LastPlayerStandingGames ("we", "us"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you use our website ("the Site") and participate in our "Last Player Standing" football competitions ("the Competitions").

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information when you use the Site:
- Account Information: e.g. email address, display name/username, and authentication identifiers needed to sign you in. (We do not need or store your password if you sign in through a third-party authentication provider.)
- Competition Information: e.g. competitions you create/join, picks, progress, standings, and related in-app activity.
- Payment Information (if applicable): if we introduce optional paid hosting tiers in future, we may collect billing contact details and transaction references needed to provide support and refunds. Card details are processed by a third-party payment provider and are not stored by us.
- Usage and Technical Data: e.g. IP address, device/browser type, and diagnostic/security logs to help keep the Site secure, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot issues.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:
- Create and manage your account and provide access to the Site.
- Operate Competitions (including recording picks and calculating outcomes/standings).
- Send service communications (e.g. account notices and important competition updates).
- Maintain security, prevent fraud/abuse, and monitor reliability/performance.
- Improve functionality and user experience, especially while features are in beta.
- Comply with legal obligations and handle disputes where necessary.

3. Lawful Basis for Processing

We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis. Depending on the activity, this may include:
- Contract: to provide the service you request when you create an account or join Competitions.
- Legitimate Interests: to keep the Site secure, prevent abuse, and improve performance and reliability.
- Consent: where required (for example, for non-essential cookies/analytics or optional marketing communications).

4. Disclosure of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share personal information only in these situations:
- Service Providers: trusted suppliers who help us operate the Site. These include Microsoft Azure (site hosting, in the United Kingdom), Microsoft Entra External ID (sign-in and authentication), and suppliers for email delivery, monitoring, and (if applicable) payment processing. They process data on our instructions. Football fixtures and results come from third-party sports data providers (such as Football-Data.org) and involve no sharing of your personal data.
- Legal Compliance: where required by law or where needed to protect our rights, property, users, or the integrity of the Site.
- Business Transfers: if our business is sold, merged, or transferred, personal information may be transferred to the successor.

5. International Transfers

Some of our suppliers may process data outside the UK. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards required by UK data protection law.

6. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Typically, we retain account and Competition data while your account remains active. If you request deletion, we will delete or anonymise personal data within a reasonable period, except where we need to keep limited records for security, legal, or operational purposes.

7. Data Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.

8. Your Rights

You have rights under UK data protection law, including:
- Access: request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction: ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Deletion: request deletion of your information in certain circumstances.
- Restriction/Objection: ask us to restrict processing or object to certain processing.
- Portability: request a portable copy of certain data (where applicable).
- Withdraw consent: where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site (for example, to keep you signed in and help protect the service). The Site also uses your browser's local storage to hold sign-in state and to cache game data (such as your picks and standings) so pages load faster; this data stays on your device and you can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

If we use non-essential cookies (for example, analytics), we will ask for your consent first and provide controls to accept or reject them.

10. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites and encourage you to review their policies.

11. Children's Privacy

The Site is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that such information has been collected, we will delete it promptly.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updates will be posted here with an updated "Last Updated" date. Please review this page periodically to stay informed.
