Privacy Policy

Who we are

PubScreens is run by Marin Cvetko, 20000 Dubrovnik, Croatia. We are responsible for your personal data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For any question about your data, write to pubscreens@gmail.com.

What we collect

• Your account. Your e-mail address and, if you sign in with Google or Facebook, the name and profile picture that service shares with us. We never receive your Google or Facebook password.
• Your profile. The display name and profile picture you choose in Settings.
• What you save. Matches you mark with ♥, teams you follow and your reminder settings.
• “I'm going”. When you tell a pub you're coming to a match: how many of you there are, any note you leave for the pub, and whether you're happy to watch with other fans.
• Notifications. The messages we show you in the app, for example when a pub gives you access or a match you saved is about to start.
• Questions to the assistant. What you ask "Ask PubScreens", so it can answer, and how many questions you asked each day. The conversation itself is only kept in your browser tab.
• Match chat. Messages you post (in the chat for all fans or in a pub's own room), and reports or blocks you make, so we can keep the chat safe.
• Pub details, if you list a pub: its name, address and place on the map, phone, opening hours, photos, what it offers (food, screens, terrace…), the matches it shows and the e-mail you registered with.
• Technical data. A sign-in cookie that keeps you logged in, and the basic logs (such as IP address and time) our hosting provider keeps to run the service securely.

We don't sell your data, show ads or use advertising or tracking cookies.

Why we use it

• To give you an account and the features you ask for: favourites, reminders, chat and pub pages (performing our agreement with you).
• To keep PubScreens secure and the chat free of abuse (our legitimate interest).
• To show your name and picture to other fans going to the same pub, only if you turn on “Happy to watch with other fans” (your consent, which you can withdraw at any time by turning it off).
• To answer you when you contact us.

Who else handles it

We use a few providers to run PubScreens. They only process data on our behalf:

• Supabase: database, sign-in and file storage.
• Vercel: hosting the website.
• Google and Facebook (Meta): only if you choose to sign in with them.
• Anthropic: the AI behind "Ask PubScreens". It receives the questions you type there, together with our match and pub listings, to write the answer.
• Cloudflare: the check on the sign-in page that stops bots.
• OpenStreetMap: map images and finding a pub's location from its address. Your browser loads map tiles directly from them.
• unpkg: the map library, loaded by your browser.
• TheSportsDB: match times and club crests. We send them nothing about you; your browser loads the crest images from them.

Your name and profile picture are visible to other users when you post in a match chat. When you tap “I'm going”, that pub's staff see your name, how many of you are coming and your note, and you can use that pub's room in the match chat, which only people going to that pub and its staff can read. Other guests only see the total number of people, unless you turn on “Happy to watch with other fans”: then the others going to that pub see your first name and picture in its room. Pub details are public once a pub is approved.

Data outside the EU

Some of these providers (such as Anthropic, Vercel, Cloudflare, Google and Meta) are based in the United States and may handle data there. Where they do, the transfer is covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, which make them protect your data to EU standards.

How long we keep it

We keep your data while your account exists. When you delete your account, your profile, favourites, followed teams, “I'm going” replies, notifications, chat messages, assistant question counts and profile pictures are removed straight away, and so is any pub where you are the only owner. Backups are overwritten within 30 days.

Your rights

You can ask us to see, correct, export or delete your data, or object to how we use it. Most of it you can change yourself in Settings. For anything else, write to pubscreens@gmail.com. We reply within 30 days.

If you think we've handled your data wrongly, you can complain to the Croatian data protection authority, AZOP (azop.hr), or the authority where you live.

Cookies

We only use the cookies needed to keep you signed in, and no tracking or advertising. Details in our Cookie Policy.

Deleting your data

See how to delete your data. It also covers removing PubScreens from your Facebook or Google account.

Children

PubScreens is for people aged 16 and over.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. Big changes will be announced in the app.

If PubScreens is ever transferred to a new owner (for example if it is sold or merged), your data moves to them so the service can carry on, under this policy. We'll tell you beforehand, and you can delete your account if you don't want that.
