Privacy Policy

How D1 Football and the D1 College Football app handle your information.

Acrux Studios Pty Ltd (“we”, “our”, or “us”) operates d1.football and the D1 College Football mobile app. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Last updated: August 10, 2026

Information we collect

Website browsing. You can use d1.football without an account. We serve pages through our hosting provider, which may process standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, requested URLs, and timestamps for security and reliability.

Waitlist sign-ups. If you join our email waitlist, we collect the email address you submit and may store your browser user-agent string with the signup for troubleshooting.

Headline click counts. When you open an external news story from d1.football, we may record a click event containing the article identifier, optional headline metadata (title, category, image URL, outbound link), whether the click came from the website or app, and a timestamp. These events are used to rank popular headlines. They are not linked to a named user account on the website.

Account information (app). The D1 College Football app uses sign-in to sync your teams and settings across devices. You can sign in with Apple or with a one-time code sent to your email—we do not use passwords for email sign-in. If you use Sign in with Apple and choose to share your name, we may store it on your account profile.

Teams, preferences, and notifications. When you are signed in, we store the teams you follow, your content preferences (such as scores, news, and rankings), and your notification settings (push master switch plus game start, scoring, and final score alerts).

Push notification tokens. If you enable push notifications on a physical device, we store an Expo push token and platform label (iOS, Android, or web) tied to your account so we can deliver alerts for games involving teams you follow.

On-device storage.The app also keeps some data locally on your phone—such as onboarding progress, cached team lists, and preferences when you are not signed in—using the device's local storage. Local data is removed if you uninstall the app.

Support messages. If you email us at support@d1.football, we receive whatever information you choose to include in your message.

Information we do not collect

We do not ask for your precise location, contacts, photos, or microphone access in the D1 College Football app. We do not run third-party advertising trackers on d1.football or in the app based on our current codebase. We do not sell your personal information.

How we use information

We use the information above to:

  • Provide scores, rankings, teams, news, and game detail pages;
  • Personalize the app home feed, scores, and news filters for teams you follow;
  • Send push notifications you opt into for followed teams' games;
  • Sync your follows and settings across devices when you are signed in;
  • Measure which headlines are most useful using aggregated click counts;
  • Respond to waitlist sign-ups and support requests;
  • Operate, secure, and troubleshoot our website and app.

Service providers

We use trusted vendors to run D1 Football. Each processes data under its own privacy policy:

  • Supabase — account authentication and database hosting for app accounts, team follows, preferences, push tokens, waitlist sign-ups, and headline click events.
  • Cloudflare — hosts d1.football and may process request logs and security data.
  • Expo — delivers push notifications to your device using the push token we register.
  • Apple — Sign in with Apple and App Store distribution.
  • Google — Google Play distribution, and Google Fonts may load when you visit our website.

Sports scores, schedules, rankings, and news summaries are fetched from our D1 Football API on the server. We do not send your account details to that API when loading public content.

Data retention

We keep account-related data while your account is active so your follows and settings remain available. Push tokens are removed when you disable notifications or sign out, and may remain until overwritten by a new registration.

Headline click events are retained to compute rolling popularity counts. Waitlist emails are kept until the waitlist is no longer needed or you ask us to remove your address.

Our notification service stores minimal game state (such as scores and whether a start or final alert was already sent) to avoid duplicate push messages. That data is not tied to your identity.

Your choices

Browse without an account. d1.football does not require sign-in. The D1 College Football app requires you to create an account and sign in to use the app after onboarding.

App account. Sign-in syncs your followed teams, content preferences, and notification settings across devices.

Notifications. Turn push notifications on or off in the app, and adjust individual alert types. You can also disable notifications in your device Settings.

Sign out. You can sign out from Manage Account in the app at any time.

Delete your account. In the app, go to More → Manage Account → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account and associated data (followed teams, preferences, and push notification settings). If you cannot access the app, email support@d1.football from the address tied to your account and we will help you.

Children's privacy

D1 Football is a general-audience sports service. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and access controls through our providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the app or on the website.
