Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 21, 2026
Asian Football News (“we”, “our”, or “the app”) is a mobile application that delivers football news, live scores, and match data for Asian leagues and AFC competitions. This Privacy Policy explains what information we handle and how we handle it.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
Asian Football News does not:
- Require you to create an account.
- Collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal identifier.
- Track your location.
- Share any data with advertisers or third-party analytics services.
- Use cookies or similar tracking technologies.
2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device
The only data the app stores is your saved (bookmarked) articles. This list is saved locally on your device using your phone’s own storage. It never leaves your device and is never transmitted to us or any third party.
You can clear this data at any time by clearing the app’s storage in your device settings, or by un-bookmarking articles within the app.
3. Network Requests
The app makes network requests solely to fetch content for display:
- News articles — from asianfootballnews.com (our own website).
- Match data & scores — from TheSportsDB (thesportsdb.com), a free public sports data API.
- AFC competition data — from the official AFC API (api.the-afc.com).
- RSS news feeds — from Google News and the official AFC website.
These requests are made over HTTPS. No personal information is included in any request. Your IP address may be visible to these services as part of a normal internet connection, which is outside our control.
4. Network Connectivity Check
The app checks your device’s network connectivity state to display an offline banner when there is no internet connection. This information is read locally from your device’s operating system and is never stored or transmitted.
5. Children’s Privacy
The app does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. Since we collect no personal data from any user, there is no special risk to children.
6. Third-Party Links
Articles in the app may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We recommend reading their privacy policies before submitting any personal information to them.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
