2. Information we collect
When you create an account or sign in to The Leagues using Google, we may receive the following information from Google:
- Your name

We store this information so that we can create and maintain your The Leagues account and provide our services to you.
We may also collect information that you provide or generate while using The Leagues, including information associated with your fantasy leagues, teams, rankings, scores, preferences and other activity within the service.
We may also collect technical information about your use of the website, such as information relating to your browser, device and website activity.
3. Google Sign-In
The Leagues uses Google Sign-In to allow users to create and access their accounts.
When you choose to sign in with Google, Google provides us with information associated with your Google account that is required to create and authenticate your The Leagues account, including your name and email address.
We use this Google-provided information solely to:
- Create and maintain your The Leagues account;
- Authenticate you when you sign in;
- Identify your account within The Leagues;
- Provide and operate the features of The Leagues; and
- Communicate with you where necessary in relation to your account or our services.
We do not sell your Google account information or use it for advertising purposes.
We do not use Google user data for purposes unrelated to providing and operating The Leagues.
We store the Google-provided information described above as part of your The Leagues account.
If you delete your The Leagues account, the personal information associated with that account will be deleted in accordance with our account deletion and data retention procedures, except where we are required to retain certain information for legal, security or fraud-prevention purposes.

5. Legal basis for processing
Where applicable under UK data protection law, we process personal information on the following legal bases:
Contract: We process information that is necessary to provide The Leagues and its features to you, including creating and maintaining your account.
Legitimate interests: We may process information where it is reasonably necessary for operating, securing, maintaining and improving The Leagues, provided that our interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
Legal obligation: We may process or retain information where this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
Consent: Where consent is required by law, we will ask for your consent before carrying out the relevant processing.
6. Google Analytics and cookies
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use The Leagues and to help us improve the website.
Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, interactions with the website, device information, approximate location and other usage information.
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before using non-essential analytics cookies or similar technologies.
The website may also use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for functions such as keeping you signed in, maintaining sessions and providing core website functionality.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website.
7. How we share your information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share personal information with service providers that help us operate The Leagues, such as:
- Authentication and identity providers, including Google;
- Website, hosting and infrastructure providers;
- Analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, where used;
- Security and fraud-prevention services; and
- Other technical service providers that process information on our behalf.
These providers may process information on our behalf only as necessary to provide their services.
We may also disclose information where required to do so by law, legal process or a valid request from a law enforcement or regulatory authority.
8. International transfers
Some service providers we use may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and that appropriate safeguards are in place where required.
9. How long we keep your information
We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide The Leagues and maintain your account.
When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise personal information associated with your account within a reasonable period, except where we need to retain certain information to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, prevent fraud or abuse, or protect the security of our services.
Some information may therefore remain for a limited period where retention is necessary for these purposes.
