Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Global Goal Post, we hold your digital privacy in the highest regard. We understand that our global community of football fans trust us with their access, and we are committed to being completely transparent, human, and legally responsible in how we handle data.

This policy outlines the precise information we collect when you use our platform, how it is utilized, and your complete rights to your personal details.

1. Information We Collect via OAuth

To keep our community highly secure and simplify access, we utilize industry-standard OAuth login services (such as Google or Supabase Authentication). When you sign up or log in, we only request and collect the bare minimum account information supplied by the provider:

• Account Identity: Your display name or public nickname.
• Email Address: Used strictly for account authentication, system notifications, and security verification.
• Profile Image URL: Your default avatar image provided by the OAuth service (which you can dynamically crop and customize within your community profile page).

We do not request, store, or have access to your personal login passwords, credit card numbers, or physical addresses.

2. Cookies, Sessions, and Analytics

We collect necessary system logs and use minimal standard cookies to deliver a responsive, fully functioning web experience:

• Authentication Cookies: Small, encrypted session data tokens that keep you logged into the community board and admin dashboard as you navigate different routes.
• Performance Analytics: We may utilize standard analytics scripts (such as Google Analytics) to monitor anonymous traffic patterns, page load times, and search footprints to improve our publishing coverage. These do not link back to your personal OAuth identity.

3. How Your Data is Used

Your necessary account details are utilized exclusively to power your direct interactions on the Global Goal Post platform:

• Providing platform access and secure session management.
• Personalizing your experience, community dashboard, and account settings.
• Enabling you to post comments, share thoughts, and publish community board debate cards.
• Securing our server environment from malicious login attempts, spam bots, and security vulnerabilities.

4. Strict No-Sharing & No-Sales Pledge

We do not sell, rent, lease, or share your personal data with third-party advertising brokers, commercial affiliates, or marketing conglomerates.

Your necessary name, email, and avatar remain strictly confidential inside our secure Supabase database and are only used for the functional operations of Global Goal Post.

5. Data Security

We utilize enterprise-grade security structures, encrypted database layers, and strict SSL access protocols to shield your information. While no digital system is 100% impenetrable, we actively monitor our backend servers to defend your profile from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration.

6. Your Rights & Data Deletion Process

You maintain complete ownership of your personal data. If you wish to delete your account, wipe your comments, or request the total removal of your OAuth credentials from our databases, you can do so easily:

Please email our dedicated privacy officer at contact.globalgoalpost@gmail.com. We will process your deletion request, wipe your records, and send you a formal confirmation within 48 business hours.
