Last updated: August 19, 2025
This privacy policy explains how KickPredict ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our AI-powered soccer prediction service.
1. Data Controller Information
Service: KickPredict - AI Soccer Match Predictions
Data Controller: KickPredict
Hosting Provider: Hetzner Online GmbH
Server Location: Helsinki, Finland (EU)
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
KickPredict operates as a public service that does not require user registration or account creation. We do not collect any personal information from visitors to our website. There are no user accounts, login systems, or personalized settings that would require you to provide personal data such as names, email addresses, or other identifying information.
The service provides AI-powered soccer match predictions to all visitors anonymously, without any need for personal information or user identification. We do not collect communication data, feedback, or survey responses as the service operates independently without user input requirements.
2.2 Information We Collect Automatically
KickPredict operates with minimal data collection. We do not track individual users, collect usage analytics, or monitor user behavior patterns. Your visits to our website are completely anonymous, and we do not store information about which pages you visit, how long you spend on the site, or which predictions you view.
Our servers may temporarily process basic technical information such as IP addresses for the sole purpose of delivering web pages to your browser. This information is not stored, logged, or used for tracking purposes. We do not collect device information, browser details, or screen resolution data.
We do not maintain user logs, store session data, or use authentication tokens since there is no login system. The service operates statelessly, meaning each visit is independent and no user information is retained between sessions.
2.3 Third-Party Data
To provide accurate and up-to-date predictions, we collect match data from reliable public sports APIs and official sources. This includes current match schedules, team lineups, player statistics, and real-time match results. We also gather historical team statistics and performance data that our AI algorithms use for training and improving prediction accuracy over time.
3. How We Use Your Information
3.1 Service Provision (Legal Basis: Legitimate Interest)
The primary purpose of collecting your information is to deliver our core service effectively. We use your data to generate AI-powered soccer match predictions using sophisticated machine learning algorithms that analyze historical data, team performance, player statistics, and various other factors to provide you with accurate forecasts.
Your preference data allows us to customize prediction displays based on your selected leagues, favorite teams, and interests, ensuring you see the most relevant predictions first. We continuously work to maintain and improve our prediction accuracy by refining our algorithms and incorporating new data sources and analytical techniques.
We also use your contact information to provide technical support and respond to your inquiries promptly, ensuring you have the best possible experience with our platform.
3.2 Service Improvement (Legal Basis: Legitimate Interest)
We analyze your usage patterns and behavior to enhance the user experience by identifying which features are most valuable, where users encounter difficulties, and what improvements would be most beneficial. This analysis helps us make data-driven decisions about platform enhancements and user interface improvements.
Your interaction data is crucial for training and improving our AI prediction models. By understanding which predictions users find most valuable and tracking prediction accuracy over time, we can continuously refine our algorithms to provide better forecasts.
We use aggregated user data to develop new features and functionalities that meet user needs and expectations. We also monitor service performance and reliability to ensure optimal uptime and fast response times across all features.
3.3 Security and Legal Compliance (Legal Basis: Legal Obligation)
We process certain information to protect against fraud, abuse, and security threats to both our platform and our users. This includes monitoring for suspicious activities, preventing unauthorized access, and implementing security measures to protect your data and account.
As a digital service provider, we must comply with applicable laws and regulations in various jurisdictions, including data protection laws, consumer protection regulations, and industry-specific requirements. We also maintain comprehensive audit logs for security purposes and to meet regulatory requirements for data processing transparency.
4. Data Storage and Security
🔒 EU-Based Hosting
Your data is stored on secure servers operated by Hetzner Online GmbH in Helsinki, Finland, ensuring EU data protection standards and GDPR compliance.
4.1 Security Measures
We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information. All data transmission between your device and our servers is protected through SSL/TLS encryption protocols, ensuring that your information cannot be intercepted during transit. This includes all login credentials, personal data, and any other sensitive information you share with us.
Our platform employs strict access controls and multi-factor authentication for all administrative access to our systems. Only authorized personnel with legitimate business needs can access user data, and all access is logged and monitored. We maintain automated backup systems with encryption at rest, ensuring your data is protected even in storage and can be recovered in case of any technical issues.
Our hosting infrastructure includes regular security updates and continuous monitoring to identify and address potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. We also implement comprehensive network security including firewall protection, intrusion detection systems, and regular security audits to maintain the highest level of protection for your data.
4.2 Data Retention
Since KickPredict does not collect personal data, user accounts, or tracking information, there is no personal data to retain. The service operates without storing user information, preferences, or behavioral data. Each visit to our website is independent and no information about your usage is retained after your session ends.
We do not maintain usage logs, analytics data, or support communications since the service operates anonymously without user identification or contact mechanisms. The AI prediction models are trained on publicly available soccer data and team statistics, not on user interaction data.
Our servers may temporarily cache web pages and prediction data for performance purposes, but this technical data contains no personal information and is automatically purged according to standard web server practices.
5. Information Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.
5.1 Limited Sharing Scenarios
We share your personal information only in very limited circumstances. Our primary data sharing relationship is with our hosting provider, Hetzner Online GmbH, where your data is stored and processed. We have a comprehensive data processing agreement in place with Hetzner that ensures they handle your data according to EU data protection standards and only for the purposes of providing hosting services.
We may be required to share information when legally obligated by law or court order. This includes compliance with valid legal requests from law enforcement agencies, court subpoenas, or regulatory requirements in jurisdictions where we operate. We will always review such requests carefully and only share the minimum amount of information necessary to comply with legal obligations.
In cases of security threats or fraud prevention, we may share information to protect our users' safety and platform integrity. This includes sharing information with security services to investigate unauthorized access attempts, prevent fraudulent activities, or protect against other security threats. Additionally, we will only share your information when you have explicitly provided your consent for specific sharing purposes.
5.2 Anonymous Data
We may share aggregated, anonymous statistics that cannot identify individual users. This includes general information about prediction accuracy rates, popular leagues and teams, overall usage patterns, and demographic trends. This anonymous data helps the broader soccer analytics community, researchers, and industry partners understand market trends while protecting individual privacy. All shared data is thoroughly anonymized and aggregated to ensure no individual user can be identified.
