Privacy Policy

Content updated for the new version · 12.10.2026

This policy explains what information Toy Soccer Cup handles when you use toysoccercup.com, the game at toysoccercup.com/play, the Android and iPhone apps, and the versions of the game published on other gaming sites (together, the "Service"). The game is for everyone, children included, so it is built to work with as little data as possible, and this page tells you plainly what that is.

1. Who is responsible

The controller of your data is Miguel Ángel Villar Alarcón, the independent developer who makes Toy Soccer Cup. For anything related to your privacy, write to toysoccercup@gmail.com.

Guest Club and linked account

Guest play needs no registration form. A local Club belongs to this device. Linking Google or Apple identifies and recovers the Club; the provider verifies access. We store a hashed provider identifier, not your personal name or email. Apple’s token required to maintain and revoke the link is stored encrypted.

Local saves include squad, qualities, development, School records and saved plays. The Club document can synchronise with the account when the service is available. Device comfort preferences stay local. Check linking and synchronisation before deleting data.

What we don't collect: your real name, email address, phone number, postal address, photos, contacts, precise location or microphone. Nicknames pass a filter that blocks insults and obvious personal data (such as phone numbers or email addresses).

4. Where you play matters

On toysoccercup.com and in the apps, we are the ones who decide what is collected, as described here. If you play Toy Soccer Cup on another gaming site (for example CrazyGames, GamePix, Poki, Playgama or YouTube Playables) or inside Telegram, that site is also responsible for what it collects, including its own advertising and analytics, under its own privacy policy. Our game still talks to our server there to provide the online features that version offers, and we don't load Google Analytics in those versions.

5. What other players can see

The current game’s visible identity is your Club: name, crest, level and results shown in profiles and competitions. Historical champions may retain their edition’s nickname and avatar.

Your nickname, avatar, ranking points, scores, club name and crest, and your place in the Weekly Cup bracket are visible to other players. The nickname and avatar of each Weekly Cup champion are published in the Hall of Fame on this website, as they were on the day they won. If a champion deletes their account, we replace their name there with "Deleted player".

6. Advertising

On the website and in the browser version, ads are served by Google (AdSense, Ad Manager and the H5 Games Ads programme). In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, a consent platform from Google appears first so you can accept or reject personalised advertising; if you reject it, the ads you see are not personalised. How Google uses data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

The Android and iPhone apps show ads through Google AdMob: a banner while a match is being played, a full-screen ad between matches (at most one every 2 minutes, and never before your first match) and reward videos, which only play if you choose to watch one. Early in the game the apps ask for your year of birth on a neutral screen; we keep only the resulting age band, never the year. Players who say they are adults may receive personalised ads, which use the device's advertising identifier; in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, only if they accept them in Google's consent form. Children, teenagers and anyone whose age we don't know only get non-personalised ads, and their advertising identifier is not sent.

On iPhone and iPad, iOS also asks its own permission before the advertising identifier (IDFA) can be used (the App Tracking Transparency dialog). We only show it to players who have said they are adults. If you decline, the game works exactly the same and the ads are simply not personalised.

On supported apps, No ads is a one-time purchase handled by Google Play or App Store. It removes between-match ads and grants the benefits of video actions without watching. The game shop’s own waiting times remain. The game displays availability, price, status and purchase restoration.

The apps ask for no permissions beyond internet access: no location, contacts, photos or microphone. Like any internet service, the advertising provider can infer an approximate location (country or city) from your connection's IP address.

7. Analytics

Our own game statistics (row "Game usage events" in section 3) are processed on our server, shared with no one and not used for advertising. On the website and the browser version we also use Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager to see, in aggregate, how people find and use the site. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland it doesn't store cookies until you accept them in the consent platform. Details in the cookie policy.

8. Legal bases

9. Who else handles data

We don't sell or rent data to anyone, and we don't share it with data brokers.

10. International transfers

Some of these providers (Google, Cloudflare, Apple) may process data outside the European Economic Area, for example in the United States. They do so under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

11. Children

Toy Soccer Cup is suitable for children, and it is designed so that a child can play without giving any personal data: no name, email or phone, no free chat, a nickname filter, and no personalised advertising for children. In the apps, children are never asked for the iOS tracking permission. We recommend that children play with their parents' or guardians' knowledge. If you are a parent or guardian, you can delete your child's account from Settings → My account, or write to us with the nickname and we will do it for you.

12. Your rights

You have the right to access your data, correct it (you can change your nickname in the game), delete it, restrict or object to its processing, take it with you (portability), and withdraw your consent. The quickest way to delete everything is Settings → My account → Delete my account: it erases your account, progress, club, scores, Weekly Cup entries, friends and game statistics from our server and from your device, and it can't be undone.

For anything else, write to toysoccercup@gmail.com with your nickname. Never send us your account code: it is the key to your account, and we will never ask you for it. To check that the account is yours, we may ask you to do something in the game, such as changing your avatar to one we name. We reply within one month. You also have the right to complain to the data protection authority of your country.

13. Security

All connections to the Service are encrypted (HTTPS). Your account is protected by a secret key, the anti-fraud identifiers are stored only as irreversible hashes, and only the developer has access to the server and the database.

14. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page, and we will announce important changes on the website.
