This Privacy Policy explains how WAWAW News collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our website or app.

WAWAW News does not use app data or cookies to track users across other apps or websites, does not use third-party advertising cookies, and does not share user data with data brokers.

This may include information you choose to send to us, such as your email address if you contact us directly.

Technical and usage information

We may process basic technical information such as device type, browser type, operating system, app version, general usage activity, crash information, diagnostics, and performance data. This helps us maintain, secure, and improve the website and app.

Notification preferences

If you choose to enable push notifications, we may store notification preferences and device notification tokens so that we can send the notifications you have requested.

3. How we use information

We use information for the following purposes:

• To provide and operate the WAWAW News website and app.
• To remember privacy choices and app preferences.
• To deliver notifications where you have enabled them.
• To monitor reliability, performance, and security.
• To understand general content and feature usage.
• To respond to messages or support requests.

4. Legal basis for processing

Where applicable, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases to process information:

• Consent, where you choose to enable optional features such as notifications or analytics.
• Legitimate interests, where processing is necessary to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website and app.
• Legal obligation, where processing is needed to comply with applicable law.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

WAWAW News may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies for necessary site and app functionality, privacy choices, functional features, and basic analytics where enabled by the user.

We do not use cookies or similar technologies to track users across other apps or websites, we do not use third-party advertising cookies, and we do not share user data with data brokers.

Where the app displays content from our website, cookies or similar technologies may also be used only as part of that website or app experience.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the Cookie Settings option available on the site. You can also read our Cookies Policy for more information.

6. Third-party services and embedded content

The website and app may rely on third-party providers such as hosting, infrastructure, content delivery, analytics, crash reporting, and notification services in order to operate.

Some content may also include third-party embedded media, such as YouTube videos. Those services may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies when you choose to interact with that embedded content.

The WAWAW News app does not display third-party advertising within the app itself and does not use third-party advertising cookies.

7. Push notifications

If you enable push notifications, WAWAW News may use a device notification token to send alerts you have requested, such as news updates, match updates, or goal notifications.

You can manage or disable notifications through the app settings or your device settings at any time.

8. Data sharing

We do not sell personal data. We do not share user data with data brokers. We do not share data for cross-app or cross-site tracking.

We may share limited information with service providers where it is necessary for them to help us operate, secure, maintain, or improve the website and app. These providers may only process information for the services they provide to WAWAW News.

9. Data retention

We keep information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Notification tokens and preferences may be retained while notifications are enabled. If notifications are disabled or a token becomes inactive, associated notification data may be removed or allowed to expire.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to help protect information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

No website, app, or online service can guarantee absolute security, but we work to keep WAWAW News secure and reliable.

Depending on your location, you may have rights over your personal data, including the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing.
