Effective date: June 7, 2026. This policy explains what World Cup Simulator stores, what providers may process, and how to contact support.
What the app is
World Cup Simulator is an unofficial, fan-made prediction and mini-games site for entertainment. The launch product is designed to work without account creation and without saving predictions on a server.
Contact and support requests should go to hello@worldcupbuilder.com. Do not send full purchase codes, payment card numbers, passwords, identity documents, or sensitive private codes in ordinary support messages.
Saved prediction data
Predictions are stored in your browser so your private picks can be restored on the same browser. Custom Maze Ball Race levels, mini-game recording preferences, audio settings, and similar gameplay settings are also local-first when those features are used.
Shared prediction links contain the choices needed to rebuild your picks. They are meant for sharing your picks, not personal identifiers. Anyone with the link can view those picks.
Premium unlock
Premium is a one-time 1.99 USD Lemon Squeezy hosted checkout unlock. Lemon Squeezy handles checkout, payment details, receipts, refunds, tax, and payment records under its own terms and privacy disclosures.
The app checks a purchase code and can set a secure browser cookie so the same browser can return without ads. New browsers or devices restore premium by entering the purchase code from the receipt. Full purchase codes should not be logged or shown back after activation.
Ads, rewarded ads, and premium ad removal
Free users may see Google ads. The app can use browser storage to limit how often ads appear, handle rewarded-save attempts, and avoid showing ads to premium users.
Rewarded ads may be offered for optional image or video saves. Basic prediction links remain free. Premium removes ads, rewarded ad prompts, ad loading, and ad previews.
Google ads and consent
Google and its partners may use cookies, local storage, IP addresses, web beacons, ad identifiers, and similar technologies for ad serving, measurement, fraud prevention, frequency capping, and personalization where allowed.
For visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, Google ads may ask for consent where required. If you reject ad consent where it is required, ads may be limited or unavailable.
Analytics
The app includes Vercel Web Analytics for aggregate measurement in production. Analytics is not initialized in local development or automated tests. Pageview URLs are stripped of private link details before they are sent, so share-pick details are not sent as analytics URLs.
Custom analytics events are limited to aggregate simulator and mini-game completion signals. Prediction choices, champion picks, purchase codes, receipt email addresses, and private support messages are not sent as analytics event properties.
Cookies and similar technologies
The app may use browser storage, cookies, or similar browser technologies for saved picks, share UI hints, premium restore, consent settings, ad frequency limits, custom levels, and local recording preferences.
Read the Cookie Policy for the cookie and browser-storage details.
Choices, deletion, and rights
Because predictions and custom levels are local-first, you can remove most app data by clearing this site's browser storage. Premium payment and purchase records are handled by Lemon Squeezy and may be retained as required for payment, tax, fraud prevention, refund, and support obligations.
If applicable law gives you privacy rights for access, deletion, correction, or opt-out requests, contact support. Because the main simulator is local-first, clearing this site's browser storage removes most app data stored on your device.
