Privacy policy
Your data, in plain words
Last updated 22 October 2026
In short
The Deadline Radar sends you alerts about the players in your Fantasy Premier League team. To do that we need your public FPL team ID and, if you allow it, a token to send notifications to your phone. That's all.
- We never ask for your FPL password, email address, phone number, location or contacts.
- We don't show ads, we don't track you across other apps, and we never sell your data.
- You can delete your account and everything we hold about you in the app, in Settings, at any time.
The Deadline Radar is not affiliated with the Premier League or Fantasy Premier League.
What we collect and why
We only keep what the alerts need. Everything is deleted when you delete your account.
| Data | Where it comes from | Why we need it | How long we keep it |
|---|---|---|---|
| FPL team ID | You type it in | To read your squad from FPL's public data | Until you delete your account |
| Team name and manager name | FPL's public data | To show you it's your team | Until you delete your account |
| Your 15 players | FPL's public data, refreshed after each deadline | To send alerts only about your players | Until you delete your account |
| Watchlist (up to 5 players) | You choose them | Same alerts for players you're thinking of buying | Until you delete your account |
| Alert choices | You choose them | To send only the alert types you want | Until you delete your account |
| Push token and phone type (iPhone or Android) | Your phone, only if you allow notifications | To deliver notifications to this phone | Until you turn notifications off, delete the app or delete your account |
| Alert history | Created when we alert you | To show your latest alerts in the app | 90 days, or until you delete your account |
| A private sign-in key | Created by the app | To keep you signed in without a password; we only store a scrambled copy | Until you delete your account |
| Basic server logs (time, error messages) | Our server | To find and fix problems | 30 days |
We don't collect your name, email, phone number, location, contacts, photos or advertising ID. The news and line-up leaks in the app come from public sources and are about footballers, not about you.
Who we share it with
We never sell your data or share it for advertising. A few services help us run the app, and only get what their job needs:
| Service | What it gets | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Expo (650 Industries, USA) | Your push token and the text of each alert | Delivers notifications to your phone |
| Apple (iPhone) or Google (Android) | Your push token and the text of each alert, from Expo | Their notification services put the alert on your phone |
| Our own server, in the Netherlands | All the data above, stored on our server | Runs the app's server |
The app reads public data from Fantasy Premier League using your team ID; FPL doesn't learn anything about you from this. Some of these services are outside the EU. Where that's the case, they're covered by the EU's approved safeguards for data transfers (the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses). We'd only share data with anyone else if the law requires it.
Your rights
We process your data to provide the service you signed up for (the legal basis is the contract between us: no data, no alerts). Under the GDPR you can:
- See your data: everything we hold is on the app's screens (your team, watchlist, alert choices and alert history). For a full copy, email us.
- Correct it: change your watchlist and alert choices in the app; switch to a different FPL team in Settings.
- Delete it: Settings → Delete my account removes your account and alert history straight away. Deleting the app alone stops notifications but keeps your account until you delete it or it's inactive for 12 months.
- Turn off notifications: in Settings in the app, or in your phone's settings.
- Object or complain: email us first. You can also complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl), or the authority where you live.
Everything else
Age. The app is for people aged 16 and over. If you're younger, please don't use it.
Security. Your data travels encrypted between the app and our server. We store only a scrambled copy of your sign-in key, so a copy of our database can't be used to sign in as you.
Changes. If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top and tell you in the app before the change applies.
