1. Summary
- No account required. You can browse scores without signing up, and this website does not ask you for a name, email or password.
- Your preferences stay on your device. Your theme choice (light / dark) is stored in your browser's local storage — not on our servers.
- Backend requests go through our servers. Your browser talks to our servers, which fetch sports data on your behalf — so third-party data providers don't receive your details directly from the page.
2. Who we are
SwiftScore is operated by Eastcore Media, the data controller for this website. Contact us at contact@eastcoremedia.com.
3. Information we collect
Information you actively provide: none is required to use the site. If you email us (for example, about advertising), we receive the contents of that message and your email address so we can reply.
Stored on your device (not our servers): a small local-storage value (ss-theme) that remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme. You can clear it any time through your browser settings.
Technical information: like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may automatically process standard request data (such as IP address, browser type and requested pages) to deliver the site, keep it secure and prevent abuse. We do not use this to build advertising profiles of you.
4. How we use information
- To provide the scores, fixtures, statistics and pages you request;
- To remember your display preferences on your device;
- To keep the service secure, reliable and free from abuse;
- To respond to messages you send us.
5. Bot protection (Cloudflare Turnstile)
To keep the service secure and prevent automated abuse (such as scraping and bots), we use Cloudflare Turnstile. It runs silently in the background and does not show you a puzzle or CAPTCHA. To do this, Cloudflare may process technical signals from your browser (for example, IP address and browser characteristics) to distinguish humans from automated traffic. Cloudflare acts as our service provider for this purpose and does not use the data to serve advertising or track you across sites.
Your use of Turnstile on this site is subject to Cloudflare's Turnstile Privacy Addendum and Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
6. Advertising
The service is supported by advertising. Where ads are served, advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure ad delivery and performance. Any such partners are responsible for their own privacy practices; we encourage you to review their policies. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, and you can withdraw it at any time. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
7. Analytics (consent-gated)
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (Firebase Analytics) — the same measurement used in our mobile apps — to understand which pages and features are used so we can improve the service. Analytics scripts and cookies are loaded only after you accept; if you decline, none are set. You can withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings. We do not use analytics to build advertising profiles of you.
8. Cookies and local storage
We keep browser storage to a minimum. Your theme preference and analytics choice are stored in local storage and are strictly functional. Analytics cookies are only set after you accept (section 7); advertising cookies, if any, are described in the Advertising section. The full list — names, purposes and retention — is in our Cookie Policy.
9. Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with service providers who help us operate the site (for example, hosting and infrastructure providers), and with advertising partners as described above. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect the rights, safety or security of our users, the public or SwiftScore.
10. Data retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above — for example, email correspondence for as long as needed to handle your enquiry, and technical logs for a limited period for security and diagnostics.
11. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR or the CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal information, to object to processing, and to data portability. To make a request, email contact@eastcoremedia.com. You also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.
12. Children
SwiftScore is a general-audience sports service and is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
13. International transfers
Our infrastructure and service providers may process data in countries other than your own. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we take steps to ensure it remains protected in line with applicable law.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We'll revise the "last updated" date above and, for material changes, highlight them on the site.
