Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 September 2026

1. Who we are

Pitch Connect is a grassroots football networking platform that connects players and clubs across all age groups. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

2. Information we collect

When you create an account we collect your email address, a password (stored securely and never in plain text), your display name, your county, and whether you are a player or a club.

When you post or save a listing we store the details you enter — position, age group, level, availability, previous clubs, experience and a short bio — and associate them with your account.

If you subscribe to Auto-Match we record your subscription status and process payment through our payment provider, Base44 Payments. We do not store your full card details.

3. How we use your information

We use your information to show your posts to other users, to match you with players or clubs based on the profile you set, to manage your subscription, and to keep the service secure.

4. Sharing your information

Posts you publish are visible to other users of Pitch Connect so they can contact you. We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with our service providers (hosting and payments) as needed to run the platform, and where required by law.

5. Data retention and deletion

You can delete your account at any time from Settings. Deleting your account permanently removes your profile, your posts and your saved players. Subscription records are kept for accounting purposes where required.

6. Children

Pitch Connect covers age groups from U7 upwards, but accounts must be created and managed by an adult — a parent, guardian, coach or club official — on behalf of younger players.

7. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encrypted authentication and restricted access controls. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure, but we work to protect your information.

8. Your rights

You can view and update your profile information in Settings, and you can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

9. Contact

If you have questions about this policy or your data, contact our support team through the app or via your account settings.
