The short version: MADBASE has no accounts and no sign-in, and we do not ask you for your name, email address, or any other personal detail. We do not sell your data. The limited data that is collected comes from Google services built into the app (analytics, push notifications and, in future, advertising), and is described in full below.
MADBASE (the “app”) is operated by Melon Softwares (“we”, “us”, “our”), based in the United Kingdom. For the purposes of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, Melon Softwares is the data controller for the limited processing described in this policy.
If you have any question about this policy or your data, contact us at [email protected].
MADBASE does not require an account. We do not collect or store your name, email address, phone number, postal address, date of birth, contacts, calendar, photos, microphone or camera input, or precise location. There is no login, and nothing you do in the app is tied to a personal profile held by us.
The app includes Google Firebase Analytics, which collects anonymous usage and device information so we can understand which features are used and diagnose problems. This typically includes:
This data is processed by Google. See Firebase privacy information and the Google Privacy Policy.
The app can send you notifications about new MADFUT 26 content. Notifications are broadcast to a shared topic that every install subscribes to — we do not store device tokens or maintain any list of individual devices, and we cannot send a message to you specifically. Google assigns your installation a messaging token as part of this service. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device’s system settings for MADBASE.
We may display occasional announcement banners inside the app. Targeting for these messages relies on the analytics data described in section 3.1.
MADBASE does not currently display advertising. We may introduce advertising in a future version, supplied by Google AdMob. If and when we do:
The app fetches MADFUT 26 game data from our server. In doing so:
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Aggregate view counts (e.g. “this player card has been opened 412 times”) | To power the “Popular Players” and “Popular Evo Cards” lists | Indefinitely — these are plain counters and contain no identifiers of any kind |
| IP address | Processed momentarily to apply rate limits and block abuse of the API | Held in memory only, for a rolling window of about one minute. Not written to any database and not used to build a profile |
View counts are not linked to you, your device, or your IP address. We cannot tell which cards you looked at — only how many times a card was opened in total.
When you use the Download or Share button on a player card, the image is written to your device’s storage or passed to the app you choose to share with. This happens on your device. We do not receive a copy and we do not keep a record of it.
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing. Data is shared only with the service providers that make the app work:
We may also disclose information where we are required to do so by law.
Google processes data on servers outside the United Kingdom, including in the United States. Where personal data is transferred out of the UK or EEA, Google relies on safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, as set out in its own privacy documentation.
Under the UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. Because we hold no account and no identifiers of our own, we usually cannot locate any data that relates to you specifically — there is nothing tying our records to you.
To exercise rights over data held by Google, you can:
If you are unhappy with how your data has been handled, you may complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
MADBASE is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete anything we are able to identify.
Traffic between the app and our server is encrypted with HTTPS, and the app is configured to refuse unencrypted connections. Our API is protected by rate limiting and access controls. No system is perfectly secure, but the app holds very little data to begin with.
We may update this policy as the app develops — for example, when advertising is introduced. The “last updated” date at the top will change, and significant changes will be announced in the app.
