PRIVACY POLICY

2. Cookies and Third-Party Analytics

We use **Google Analytics** (Google Tag Manager) to understand site traffic patterns, monitor system loads, and improve our dashboard aesthetics. Google Analytics sets small browser text files called **"cookies"** to log standard internet usage data and visitor behavior patterns in an aggregated, anonymous form.

This information (which includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, and page click interactions) is transmitted to Google. We use this data strictly to analyze dashboard engagement and compile statistical reports. You can configure your browser to decline cookies at any time, although some parts of the dashboard may load differently.

3. External API Feeds & Badges CDN

ApexSport requests live match stats and images dynamically from our server-side integration with **API-Football**. When your browser requests flag assets, player photos, or media embeds, these requests are routed through external Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).

These external networks do not collect or receive any identifiable personal information from your visit, but standard network headers (such as user-agent and IP addresses) are handled as part of normal HTTP transport protocols.

4. Legal Age and Children's Protection

ApexSport complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not collect or solicit any information from anyone under the age of 13.

Furthermore, in accordance with the terms of our API feed supplier, our platform does not target, collect payments, or establish contracts with persons under the legal age of **18 years**.

5. Data Security Standards

We implement industry-standard security measures to safeguard the integrity of our systems. All connections to ApexSport are forced to use secure **SSL/HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)** encryption to prevent third-party interception of your network traffic.

6. Changes to this Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be updated directly on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically to remain informed about our privacy standards.
