Effective 17 October 2026
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what Abu 3meer processes, why it is needed, and the choices available to you.
1. Who operates the service
Abu 3meer is operated by the developer identified on its App Store and Google Play listing. Privacy questions can be sent to support@abu3meer.com.
2. Information we collect
- Account: display name, username, email address, authentication provider identifiers, and optional profile photo. Display names, usernames, and optional profile photos may appear publicly in leaderboards and fan profiles.
- Fan profile: selected country, supported club, language, and notification preferences.
- Activity: predictions, video-question answers, player guesses, XP, streaks, achievements, and leaderboard records.
- Membership: when you choose Check membership, you submit a public YouTube channel profile link. Our server extracts its stable channel ID and compares it with the latest complete CSV/TSV current-member export uploaded by authorized staff. We retain the submitted link, matched channel ID, derived membership status and timing, and verification timestamps. The app does not request YouTube account access for this check.
- Purchases: Apple, Google, and RevenueCat process subscription transactions. We receive purchase identifiers, product and entitlement status, expiration and renewal information, storefront, and transaction environment; we do not receive or store your full payment-card details.
- Safety: reports you submit about another profile, the reason and optional details, users you block, moderation status, and related security records.
- Device and security: push-notification token, installation identifier, app/platform information, IP address and security/server logs needed for delivery, fraud prevention, and reliability.
- Advertising: when advertising is enabled, Google Mobile Ads may process IP-derived approximate location, device identifiers, advertisements viewed, ad interactions, crash logs, and performance data to deliver, limit, secure, and measure ads. Abu 3meer requests non-personalized ads with restricted data processing, conservative teen treatment, and a G maximum ad-content rating.
- Optional media: profile images or other images you deliberately select or upload.
3. Location
With permission, the app may use approximate or precise device location briefly to suggest your country. If location is declined, it may use IP-derived country or device locale. The app stores the selected country, not your continuous location history.
4. How information is used
We process information to authenticate accounts, provide and secure app features, settle predictions and challenges, maintain personal progress and eligible leaderboards, deliver requested notifications, prevent cheating, provide support, comply with law, improve reliability, and—when enabled—display and measure non-personalized advertising.
5. Service providers and disclosures
Necessary information may be processed by Firebase/Google Cloud services, Google Sign-In, Sign in with Apple, RevenueCat, app-store billing, public YouTube feeds, push delivery, our hosted API and database, Cloudflare, image hosting, football-data providers, and Google Mobile Ads when advertising is enabled. If you grant Apple's App Tracking Transparency permission, Google may use the device advertising identifier to link ad-delivery or measurement data with data from other companies' apps or websites. If you decline, the identifier is unavailable, every app feature remains available, and restricted non-personalized ads may still be delivered. Tracking permission can be changed in iOS Settings; regional advertising consent can be revisited under Settings → Legal & Privacy → Ad privacy choices when required. We may disclose information when legally required or to protect users and the service. We do not sell personal information.
6. Retention and security
Account data is kept while your account is active. When you delete your account, active account records are deleted or anonymized, except limited records that must be retained for security, fraud prevention, dispute handling, or legal obligations. Encrypted backups may expire on a delayed cycle. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
7. Your choices and rights
You can edit profile data and notifications in the app, unlink or change providers where supported, and permanently delete your account from Settings → Account → Delete account. You may also request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability where applicable by emailing support. We may need to verify identity before fulfilling a request.
8. Children
Abu 3meer is intended for people aged 13 or older. Where local law requires parental consent or a higher minimum age for data processing, users must meet that requirement. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the applicable minimum age.
9. International processing and changes
Providers may process information in countries other than yours subject to appropriate safeguards. We may update this policy when the service or law changes; the effective date above will be revised and material changes may be announced in the app.
