PART A – SUMMARY OF TERMS
This section of the Terms sets out the terms on which we process information we collect from you, or that you provide to us. By using the Application, you consent to such processing.
PART B – Information we may collect from you
You do not need to provide us with any personal information to use the Application. However, certain services collect data automatically or require that you register and, by doing so, you will provide us with certain personal information. We may collect, store and otherwise use the following information about you:
- Information that you provide to us:
- by using the Application, including the football team that you support.

- Information that we collect automatically:
- information about the mobile device you use to download the Application including, where available, a non-identifying unique device identifier, device type and IP address. The Application uses third party tracking and analytics (Flurry) to track usage of the Application and interactions by user.
PART C - How we use your information
We use information about you in the following ways:
- USE OF COOKIES
Although cookies are not used by the Application, the Application allows you to access third party websites which may use cookies. Cookies from third party websites may therefore be brought within the Application’s own domain and stored within its secure area. These third party websites will be subject to their own cookie policies.
- The Application uses internal secure storage to store user preferences, feeds and other information. This information is stored in a secure area by the Application and provided by the operating system. Other non-secure preferences are stored in flat text files which again are stored within the Application's secure area.
- To operate and maintain the Application, including to allow your Twitter followers to see your tweets.
- To customize your use of the Application and/or the content of any email newsletter or other material that we may send to you from time to time.
- To prevent or take action against activities that are, or may be, in breach of our Terms or applicable law.
- CONTACTING YOU
To contact you:
- We may contact you from time to time about the Application, including marketing messages relating to it. We will do this electronically - for example, by email or text or, if you agree to receive them, by messages on the Application (push notifications).
- We may contact you with information about our products and services (and those of specially selected parties that may be of interest to you). We will never pass your data to any third parties for their own use.
- You may tell us at any time if you do not wish to receive marketing messages from us by following any instructions we may include in the message we send to you. For example, a ‘STOP’ message will appear at the foot of marketing text messages we send you.
- In later versions of the Application we may, from time to time, contain links to and from the website of our relationship partners and service providers (including, but not limited to, websites on which the Application is advertised). If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites and any services that may be accessible through them have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies or for any personal information that may be collected through these websites or services, such as contact and location data. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites or use these services.
- We may give information about you and how you use the Application to the following:
- other companies within the Barclays Group and our relationship partners;
- companies and organisations who provide a service to us or are acting as our agents (including their sub-contractors), on the understanding that they will keep the information confidential;
- anyone to whom we transfer or may transfer our rights and duties under this agreement; and
- any third party as a result of any restructure, sale or acquisition of any company within the Barclays Group, provided that any recipient uses your information for the same purposes as it was originally supplied to us and/or used by us.
- Otherwise, we will keep information about you confidential unless we have a duty to disclose it or law or regulation allows us to do so for legitimate business purposes.
- We will retain information about you after your registration for the Application is cancelled, or if your registration is abandoned, for as long as permitted for legal, regulatory, fraud and other financial crime prevention and legitimate business purposes (such as contacting you about the Application).
- You can ask for a copy of the information we hold about you by writing to us. A fee will be charged for this service.
PART D - Disclosure of information
We may need to pass on your information to people who provide a service to us, with the understanding that they keep your information confidential, and to anyone to whom we may transfer our rights and duties. We may also disclose your information if we are required to do so by law.
If we transfer your information to a service provider in another country, we will make sure they agree to apply the same levels of protection that we adhere to in the UK. They will only use your information for the purpose of providing the service to us.
Ensure when using Twitter within the Application that you do not submit any information in your tweets that you do not want to be seen, collected or used by other users.
