Privacy policy

Last reviewed:

This policy covers https://www.footballsimlab.com, operated as Football Sim Lab, and the same service at its legacy 2026worldcupsim.com domain. Send privacy requests through the contact form.

Browser storage and local games

The app uses sessionStorage and localStorage for tournament choices, scores, language preferences and career saves. These remain in the current browser unless you create a public share link. They do not automatically sync between devices or domains. Clearing site data removes local progress. Image and PDF exports are generated on your device.

Public share links

Creating a share link sends the selected standings, bracket or career summary to our server and Upstash Redis storage. Anyone with the link can view it. Custom player names and text may become public, so do not include private personal information. Shared records have a configured 30-day expiry. Clearing browser storage does not delete an uploaded share. Contact us with the link to request earlier removal. Recipients can keep copies beyond that expiry.

Hosting and external resources

Vercel hosts the site and server functions. It processes technical request information such as IP addresses, browser headers and logs for delivery and diagnostics. Team flags are served by FlagCDN, which receives the network information needed to serve them. Providers apply their own retention practices.

Google advertising and cookies

Where AdSense advertising is enabled and approved, third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this site or other websites. Google's advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on those visits. Advertising may also involve IP addresses, browser information and other identifiers.

Manage personalized ads through Google My Ad Center and read how Google uses data from partner sites. Other vendors' choices may be available at YourAdChoices. Where a consent message is presented, use its privacy and cookie settings to change or withdraw your choices. Browser settings can also restrict cookies.

This disclosure does not replace any consent required before advertising technologies are used. Our privacy, about and contact pages do not load the site's advertising script.

Feedback and voluntary support

Tally receives the information you choose to submit when you open the feedback form. Ko-fi and its payment providers handle optional donations when you visit the support link. We do not receive your full payment-card details. Neither service is automatically embedded by this site.

Your choices

You can play without an account, avoid public shares, clear local browser data, restrict cookies and contact us about shared content or feedback you submitted. Include enough information to locate the record without sending sensitive identification documents.
