1. Who we are
Tinoba ("Tinoba", "we", "us") is a sports statistics and analysis app operated by ZOBUT GAMES TEKNOLOJI LIMITED SIRKETI (Türkiye). This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use the Tinoba app or tinoba.com, why we collect it and what choices you have.
2. What we collect
| Data | When | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Account identifier | Sign-in | Quick login: a random installation ID generated on your device. Google sign-in: your Google account e-mail address. A username (generated or chosen by you). |
| Profile | If you add it | Display name, avatar or profile photo, country, favourite teams, profile visibility setting. |
| Push token | If notifications are on | Firebase Cloud Messaging token used to deliver kick-off, goal and result alerts you opted into. |
| Device and app data | Automatically | Device model, OS version, app version, language, time zone, approximate country derived from device settings, crash reports and performance data. |
| Usage data | Automatically | Screens opened, features used, matches viewed, buttons tapped (aggregated analytics events). |
| Community content | If you post | Match takes, comments, likes, follows, reports you submit about other users' content. |
| Purchase data | If you subscribe | Google Play purchase token, product ID, subscription status and expiry. We never see your card or bank details — payment is handled entirely by Google Play. |
| Install source | First launch | The Google Play install referrer (e.g. which campaign the install came from). No cross-app tracking. |
| Advertising data | Free version, when ads are shown | Advertising ID (resettable), device type, approximate region and the ads you interact with — collected by the ad network's SDK to show and measure ads. Not collected while you have an AI PRO membership. |
| Support requests | If you contact us | Your message, e-mail address and the details you choose to send. |
We do not collect precise location, contacts, SMS, call logs, photos other than the profile image you choose to upload, or any payment card data.
3. Why we use it
- To run the app: sign you in, keep your favourites, show your leagues first, deliver the alerts you asked for.
- To provide AI PRO: verify your subscription with Google Play and unlock paid content.
- To run the community: display your username, avatar and takes to other users according to your profile settings; act on reports and enforce our rules.
- To improve Tinoba: understand which features are used, fix crashes, plan coverage of leagues and countries.
- To measure marketing: know which campaign an install came from so we can spend responsibly. This uses the Play install referrer only.
- To fund the free version: show ads in the free version and measure them. Ads are removed by the AI PRO membership.
- To respond to you: answer support requests and legal notices.
Legal bases (where applicable, e.g. GDPR): performance of our contract with you, our legitimate interests in running and improving the service, your consent for optional items such as notifications, and legal obligations.
4. Third-party services
These providers process data on our behalf or under their own policies:
- Google Play Billing — subscription payments and receipts.
- Google Sign-In — optional account sign-in with your Google e-mail.
- Firebase (Google) — Cloud Messaging (push notifications), Analytics (aggregated usage) and Crashlytics (crash reports).
- Sports data providers — fixtures, scores, statistics and team logos. No personal data is sent to them.
- Google Play Install Referrer — campaign attribution for new installs.
- Translation service — when you tap "Translate" on a comment, the comment text is sent to a translation API.
- Advertising networks — Google AdMob and, where enabled, other ad networks serve ads in the free version. They use your advertising ID and device information to show and measure ads; see Google's advertising policy. You can reset or limit the advertising ID in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads).
5. Sharing
We share personal data only: with the service providers above to the extent needed; with other users, for the profile fields you make public (username, avatar, country, favourite team, takes); when required by law or to protect rights and safety; or in a merger or acquisition, in which case this policy continues to apply. We do not sell personal data and do not share it with data brokers. Ad networks receive the advertising data described in section 2 under their own policies.
6. Retention
- Account and profile data: for as long as your account exists.
- Community content: until you delete it or your account is deleted.
- Purchase records: as required for accounting and tax law (typically up to 10 years).
- Analytics and crash data: retained in aggregated or pseudonymous form by the provider's default (Firebase: up to 14 months for user-level data).
- Support conversations: up to 24 months after the last message.
- Advertising data: held by the ad network under its own retention rules; we do not store it.
7. Your choices and rights
- Notifications: turn alerts on or off in Settings → Notifications, or in your device settings.
- Profile visibility: make your profile private in Settings → Edit profile.
- Delete your account: Settings → Account → Delete account removes your account, profile and community content from our servers. Purchase records we must keep by law are retained.
- Access, correction, portability, objection: e-mail support@tinoba.com. We answer within 30 days. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.
- Ads: remove ads with AI PRO, and limit ad personalisation from your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads → "Delete advertising ID" or "Opt out of Ads Personalisation"). Where the law requires it (e.g. EU/UK), we ask for your consent before personalised ads are shown.
- Subscriptions: manage or cancel in Google Play → Subscriptions.
8. Children
Tinoba is intended for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Security
Data is transmitted over HTTPS and stored on access-controlled servers. Account sessions use random keys that can be revoked. No system is perfectly secure; if we learn of a breach affecting you, we will notify you as required by law.
10. International transfers
Our servers and providers may process data outside your country, including in the EU, the United States and Türkiye. Where required, we rely on the providers' standard contractual safeguards.
11. Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version; material changes will be announced in the app.
