📄 Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Kanzati ("we," "us," or "our") handles information collected through the WC 2026 Live iOS application ("the App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about the limited data we collect.

By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the App.

📊 Data We Collect

We collect a minimal set of data necessary to operate the App:

Data Type What It Is Purpose Linked to You?
Device ID Apple Vendor UUID generated by iOS App Functionality No
Purchase History WC 2026 Pass transaction record App Functionality Analytics No
Product Interaction Screen views, taps, feature usage Analytics No
Crash Data Technical crash logs and diagnostics App Functionality No
Approximate Location City-level location (coarse only, one time at launch) App Functionality No
Email Address (optional) Provided if you create an account App Functionality Not required
Account creation is entirely optional. The App's full functionality is available without creating an account or providing any personal information.

📍 Location Data

The App may request access to your device's approximate (coarse) location for one purpose only: to automatically detect your local timezone so that match kickoff times are displayed correctly in your local time.

  • Your precise GPS coordinates are never accessed, stored, or transmitted
  • Only the timezone identifier (e.g. "America/New_York") is saved locally on your device
  • Location data is never shared with any third party
  • You can deny the permission — your timezone can be set manually in the App's Settings screen
  • Revoke anytime via iOS Settings → WC 2026 Live → Location

🎯 How We Use Your Data

Device ID — We store your device's anonymous identifier in Firebase Firestore solely to track whether your 3-day free trial is active and whether you have purchased the WC 2026 Pass. We do not use it to identify you personally or for advertising.

Purchase History — We verify your WC 2026 Pass purchase via Apple's StoreKit to unlock app features. We log an anonymous purchase event to Firebase Analytics to measure conversion rates and improve the product.

Product Interaction — Firebase Analytics collects anonymous usage events (screen views, feature taps, onboarding completion) to help us understand how the App is used and make it better. This data is aggregated and never linked to your identity.

Crash Data — Firebase Crashlytics collects crash reports to help us identify and fix bugs quickly. No personally identifiable information is included in crash logs.

Approximate Location — Used one time at launch to detect your timezone. The resolved timezone string is saved locally on your device only. Your coordinates are discarded immediately and are never stored or transmitted.
