Privacy policy

Last updated: [DATE YOU PUBLISH THIS PAGE]

Draft. This page was written to match how the game works today. Fill in every highlighted item and have it checked before you rely on it. It is not legal advice.

Walkout XI is run by [YOUR NAME OR BUSINESS NAME] ("we", "us"). Contact: [CONTACT EMAIL]. [IF A COMPANY: registered number, registered address and country.]

The short version

You don't need an account. We don't ask for your name, email address or date of birth.
Your club, coins and settings are kept in your own browser. We don't receive them.
Adverts are currently switched off. If we switch them on, we'll ask before any advertising cookies are used where the law needs us to.
You can't pay for anything at the moment.

Information kept in your browser

The game stores these items in your browser's local storage. They stay on your device and are not sent to us:

Item	What it holds	How long
`kickoffxi_public_v1`	Your game save: club name, coins, cards, squad, match record and challenge progress	Until you reset the game or clear your browser data
`walkoutxi_settings`	Your choices for walkout effects and walkout sound	Until you clear your browser data
`walkoutxi_consent`	Your advertising choice and when you made it (only when ads are switched on)	Until you change it or clear your browser data

Save codes. If you press "Save code", the game turns your save into a code on your device. We never receive it. Anyone you give the code to can load a copy of your club, so treat it like a password for your club.

Information our host receives

The website is hosted by [HOSTING PROVIDER, e.g. Netlify, Inc.]. Like any web host, it receives technical information when your browser requests a page, such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested, so it can deliver the site and protect it from abuse. [CHECK AND STATE: what the host logs, how long it keeps logs, and where the data is processed. Link to the host's privacy policy.]

Lawful basis (UK/EU): our legitimate interest in running a secure website. [CONFIRM]

Advertising

Current status: no adverts are shown and no advertising scripts are loaded.

[ONLY IF YOU SWITCH ADS ON, replace the line above with:] The game shows adverts from [AD PROVIDER]. Before any advertising cookies or similar technology are used, we ask for your choice where the law requires it. You can change it any time with "Privacy settings" at the bottom of the game. The ad provider may process your IP address, device information and cookie identifiers to show and measure ads. See [AD PROVIDER PRIVACY LINK].

Optional "watch an ad" rewards are only given when the ad provider confirms the ad was completed. If no ad is available, you get no reward and no data is sent.

Payments

You can't buy anything in the game at the moment. Prices shown in the Store are switched off. If paid coins are introduced, payments will be handled by [PAYMENT PROVIDER] and we'll update this page before that happens.

Children

[STATE YOUR POSITION, for example: the game does not ask for personal information, and any adverts shown to under-18s will be non-personalised. Paid purchases will not be available to under-18s.] [CHECK: the UK ICO Age Appropriate Design Code applies to online services likely to be used by children.]

Your rights

If you're in the UK or EU you have rights over your personal data, including access, correction and deletion. Because your game data stays in your browser, you can delete it yourself with "Reset save" or by clearing your browser data. For anything else, contact [CONTACT EMAIL]. You can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk) [OR YOUR LOCAL SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY].

Changes

We'll update this page if the way the game uses information changes, for example if we add accounts, multiplayer, adverts or payments.
