Privacy Policy of the Prematch App

Status: 01.03.2023

1. we protect your data and your informational self-determination

Thank you for your interest in our app. In the following, we will inform you about how we handle your data and what rights you have with regard to data processing with us. We would like to emphasise that we take your interest in the protection of your data seriously and therefore limit our data collection to the necessary extent and take suitable security measures to protect your data. We do not use automated decision-making.  

Please note that our app may display links to websites of other providers. Such links are either clearly marked as links or they can be recognised by a change in the address bar of your browser. We cannot assume any responsibility for compliance with data protection regulations on third-party websites. Information on data protection there should be contained in the data protection statement available there.

Insofar as we use legal terms in this privacy statement, they correspond to the legal definitions in Art. 4 DSGVO (Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data, on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC). This regulation can be found, for example, at

eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679

viewable.

2. name and contact details of the data controller

Responsible for the collection, processing and use of your personal data within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-2018) is    

PREMATCH Sports GmbH

3. obtaining data from public sources

Our app collects data on amateur footballers from public sources, such as online platforms, websites and press releases from clubs. From this data, the Prematch app calculates a fictitious market value, which includes the following parameters in particular:

  1. League level
  2. Age
  3. Position
  4. Current table position
  5. Minutes played
  6. Goals scored (Individual)
  7. Goals conceded (team)

Parameter 1. represents a base value, which is the starting point for the market value calculation. The parameters 2.-4. are used as multipliers by means of a weighting determined by Prematch in order to correct the base value. This results in the "intermediate value". Parameters 5-7 are then used to supplement the intermediate value with performance-related data. Thus, a key was defined for "minutes played", "goals scored" and "goals conceded", which is added to the intermediate value according to the performance data. Finally, the market value is converted into a market value interval by defining a lower limit as well as an upper limit through correction by a certain percentage. This market value interval is intended to represent the inclusion of further, non-measurable factors. This market value has no claim to accuracy or realism, but serves - just like the presentation of the data in our app - to entertain our users.

The data is stored on our servers for as long as an amateur footballer is active and is overwritten as soon as the footballer is no longer listed as a player by any amateur club.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO, according to which processing is lawful if the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, override these interests.

​​

4. installing the app from an app store

In order to use our app, you must download it from an app store. For this purpose, it may be necessary for you to create a user account in the app store. We have no influence on the data collection that takes place in this process. More detailed information about the data processing by the app store provider should be made available to you by the provider itself.

You can find the privacy policy of the Google App Store at:

https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

If you use an app store, the app store may provide us with data about you. We process the data provided by the app store only to the extent necessary to download and install the app on your mobile device (e.g. smartphone, tablet). If the app is a paid prematch app, we also process billing and payment data to process the purchase.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b.) of the General Data Protection Regulation, according to which data processing may be carried out for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, insofar as this is necessary for the aforementioned purposes and in response to a request from the data subject.

5. use of our app

To ensure that our content is displayed correctly, we collect data on the operating system used (e.g. Android or iOS), the host name of the accessing end device (IP address) and the time of the server request when you use our app. The IP address is deleted or anonymised within 14 days. In the case of anonymisation, the IP addresses are changed in such a way that the person concerned cannot be identified or can no longer be identified. A location determination is carried out on the basis of the anonymised IP address. For data protection reasons, this is only carried out up to the geographical level of the country from which the call originates. It is therefore not possible to draw any conclusions about the specific location or place of residence of a user.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO, according to which processing is lawful if the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, override these interests.

6. registration in our app
