Privacy Policy

Who we are

careermode.xyz is run as an independent project ("we" in this policy), and we are the data controller for the personal data described below. The best way to reach us is through our Discord server: https://discord.gg/FCgz9BEsuq

What we collect

• Account data — when you sign up, our authentication provider (Clerk) collects your email address and, if you sign in with a social account, the name and avatar that provider shares.
• Game data — everything you enter to track a save: careers, squads, players, transfers, results, seasons and trophies.
• Images — screenshots or photos you attach to a save are compressed in your browser and stored in our database alongside your save.
• Payment data on the website — Pro subscriptions and coins bought on careermode.xyz are processed by Stripe. Your card details go directly to Stripe; we never see or store them. We keep your subscription status and a record of what you bought.
• In-app purchases — in the iOS and Android apps, Pro subscriptions, coins and packs are bought through Apple’s App Store or Google Play, which take the payment under their own terms and privacy policies; we never see your card or store account details. RevenueCat processes the purchase records for us (product, price, currency, date, store transaction ID and your subscription status), identified by your Career Mode account ID as the app user ID, so we can unlock Pro and credit your coins and packs.
• My Team — your club’s name, crest (a borrowed club badge or an image you upload) and colours, your cards, coins, matches and rankings.
• Reports and blocks — if you report a community post or a My Team club, or block another user, we keep the report (with its reason) or the block, linked to your account, to moderate content and to hide what you blocked.
• Usage analytics — we use PostHog to understand how the app is used: pages visited, features used, browser and device type. While you are signed in this is linked to your account ID.
• Cookies and local storage — session cookies that keep you signed in (Clerk), a language cookie, a random device identifier used to prevent abuse, your theme preference in local storage, and PostHog analytics cookies.
• Push notifications — in the iOS and Android apps, if you allow notifications, we store the push token your phone gives us, the platform and the app language, linked to your account, so we can tell you when a save is shared with you or you win a weekly prize. You can switch each kind off in the app; the token is deleted when you sign out, turn push off or delete your account.

How we use your data

• To run the tracker and keep your saves in sync across your devices.
• To process your subscription and purchases, unlock Pro features and credit coins and packs.
• To send a small number of product emails (welcome, tips, inactivity check-ins). Every email includes an unsubscribe link.
• To improve the product using aggregate usage analytics.
• To prevent abuse of the service and to review reported content.

We do not sell your data and we do not share it with advertisers.

Services we rely on

These providers process data on our behalf, only to provide their service to us:

• Clerk — sign-in and account management
• Stripe — payments on the website (Pro and coins)
• RevenueCat — purchase records for in-app purchases in the iOS and Android apps
• Neon — database hosting
• Vercel — application hosting
• PostHog — product analytics
• Resend — sending our emails
• Apple Push Notification service and Google Firebase Cloud Messaging — delivering push notifications in the apps

Apple (App Store) and Google (Google Play) process in-app payments as independent controllers, under their own privacy policies.

What is public

Your saves are private by default. If you choose to share a season to the Community page, that season report — club, results, player names and any image you include — becomes publicly visible. You can stop sharing it at any time, which removes it from the public page.

If you play My Team, your club’s name, crest, squad and results are shown to other signed-in players in Versus, the rankings and the leagues. Other players can report a club’s name or crest and block its owner. A club reported by several players shows a neutral name and crest until we have reviewed it.

Retention and deletion

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. Deleting a career permanently deletes everything in it, including images.

To delete your whole account and all data linked to it, go to Account → Delete account (on the web or in the app). It happens straight away: your saves, Dice worlds, drafts, My Team club and community posts, reports and blocks are removed, any web subscription is cancelled, and your login is deleted. An App Store or Google Play subscription is not cancelled by deleting your account: cancel it in your store account settings. We keep anonymous purchase records for accounting. You can also ask us on Discord (https://discord.gg/FCgz9BEsuq) and we will remove it within 30 days. If you unsubscribe from emails we keep your address on a suppression list so we never email you again.

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, and to restrict or object to how we process it — just ask us on Discord (https://discord.gg/FCgz9BEsuq). If you are in the EU/EEA you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

Career Mode is not directed at children under 13. If you are under 13 — or under the minimum age for online services in your country — please do not create an account.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the product evolves. We will update the date at the top of this page and, for material changes, let you know in the app or by email.
