Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how GOLASO ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the GOLASO football-management game and website (the "Service"), available at golaso.org and as a mobile application. By using the Service, you agree to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

• Account information — the email address and username/manager name you provide when you register. Guest players may start without an email; an internal placeholder identifier is used until an email is added.
• Gameplay data — your club, squad, tactics, results, in-game currency, progress, and similar data needed to run the game.
• Communications — messages you send in in-game chat, private messages, or the forum.
• Purchase records — a record that a purchase was made (e.g. premium/tokens). Payments are processed by Google Play or PayPal; we do not collect or store your full card details.
• Technical data — session identifiers, approximate region/country, device and log information (such as IP address and app version) used to operate and secure the Service.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your account and provide the game's features.
• To save your progress, run matches, leagues, transfers, and social features.
• To process in-app purchases and grant premium benefits.
• To keep the Service secure, prevent fraud and abuse, and enforce our terms.
• To respond to support requests and improve the game.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:

• Payment providers (Google Play, PayPal) solely to process purchases.
• Service providers that host or operate the Service on our behalf, under confidentiality obligations.
• Legal authorities where required by applicable law.
• Note that content you post in public areas (chat, forum, leaderboards) is visible to other players.

4. Data Security

Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and passwords are stored in hashed form. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

5. Data Retention & Deletion

We keep your data while your account is active. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by emailing largeftp@gmail.com. We will delete your account data within a reasonable period, except where we must retain limited records to comply with legal obligations or resolve disputes.

6. Children's Privacy

The Service is intended for users aged 13 and older and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us data, please contact us and we will remove it.

7. Cookies & Local Storage

The website uses cookies and local storage for sign-in sessions, "remember me", language preference, and to keep the game working. The mobile app uses secure device storage for your login token. These are essential to the Service's operation.

8. International Users

GOLASO is played worldwide. By using the Service you understand your information may be processed on servers located in other countries, with appropriate safeguards.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective date" above. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the updated policy.
