Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to FCRadar.gg ("we", "us", or "our"). We operate the website fcradar.gg (the "Service"), a platform that provides EA FC player statistics, ratings, and career mode tools.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the Service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

When you create an account or interact with certain features, we may collect:

• Account information — username and email address when you register.
• User-generated content — comments, shortlists, player votes, and other content you submit through the Service.
• Profile information — optional details such as a bio that you choose to make public.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you access the Service, certain information may be collected automatically:

• Usage data — pages visited, features used, time spent, referring URLs, and browser/device type.
• Log data — IP address, browser type, operating system, and timestamps of requests.
• Cookies and similar technologies — session tokens and preference cookies used to keep you logged in and remember your settings.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage your account and authenticate your sessions.
• Provide, operate, and improve the features of the Service.
• Power personalised features such as saved shortlists and comment history.
• Send transactional emails (e.g. password reset) when requested.

• Enforce our Terms & Conditions and protect against abuse.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Cookies

We use the following types of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for authentication and to keep you logged in. The Service cannot function correctly without these.
• Preference cookies — store settings such as your preferred language or display options.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the Service so we can improve it. This data is aggregated and anonymised where possible.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you disable cookies, some parts of the Service (such as staying logged in) may not function properly.

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not share your personal information with third parties except in these limited circumstances:

• Service providers — trusted vendors who assist us in operating the website (such as hosting providers), bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Legal requirements — if required by law, regulation, or valid governmental request.
• Protection of rights — to protect the rights, property, or safety of FCRadar.gg, our users, or others.
• Business transfer — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred with prior notice.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide you with the Service. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (for example, to prevent abuse).

User-generated content such as comments and votes may remain visible in anonymised or aggregated form after account deletion.

• Restriction — request that we limit processing of your data in certain circumstances.
• Portability — receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Objection — object to processing of your personal data for certain purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to requests within 30 days.

8. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorised disclosure. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. All data in transit is encrypted using TLS.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
