Who we are and how to contact us
Stato (stato.pro) is run by JL Pro Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 08567331), registered office 341 Rayners Lane, Pinner, HA5 5EN. JL Pro Ltd is the controller of the personal data described in this policy.
For anything about your data, including using the rights below, email privacy@stato.pro. We aim to reply within one month.
Stato records grassroots football games: hosts create leagues and games, players join them, an analyst tags each game from its video, and every player gets stats, awards and rankings.
What we collect
We collect the data below. We don't take card payments yet, and we don't use analytics, advertising or tracking tools.
Why we use it, and our lawful basis
UK data protection law requires a lawful basis for each use. We rely on these:
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we've weighed them against your rights, and you can object at any time (see Your rights).
We also build a play style profile from your stats, comparing you with other players in your league, and rank players globally. This is automated but has no legal or similarly significant effect on you.
What's public on Stato
Much of Stato can be seen by anyone, including people who aren't signed in. That is how Stato works: it publishes a record of every analysed game.
Public: your name as shown on Stato (normally your first and last name) and your Player ID; the leagues you host and the leagues you belong to; the month you joined Stato; game rosters and teams; match events, stats, awards, play style and rankings from published games; highlight clips; and the full match video, with sound, of every published game.
Never public: your email address, your password, and your security data.
Every game on Stato is filmed and analysed: that's what joining one means, and the Join Game screen says so. If you don't want to be filmed, don't join that game. After a game, you can still ask us to remove your name or anonymise you in its stats (see Your rights). The video itself usually stays, because it's the record other players' stats rely on.
People without an account
You can appear on Stato without signing up, in two ways:
- As an unclaimed player. A host or our staff can add a player to a game by name, so their stats are recorded. That name and those stats are public like any other player's. If it's you, email privacy@stato.pro and we'll remove your name. You'll also be able to claim the profile once your own account exists; we're building that.
- In match video. A game's video, with its sound, records everyone on the pitch, and sometimes people nearby.
If either applies to you, email privacy@stato.pro. We'll review your request and, where appropriate, remove or anonymise your name. We can't always remove you from a video, because it is the record other players' stats rely on, but we'll tell you what we can do and why.
Past games. While Stato launches, our own team is publishing past games we have analysed. These games were filmed openly and their videos were already published, with the players told at the time. Stato adds names, stats and rankings to them, so we let the players know through the same groups before a game appears on Stato, and anyone can ask us to remove or anonymise their name.
How long we keep it
Your rights
You have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- correct it if it's wrong;
- delete your account;
- object to uses based on legitimate interests, including public display;
- restrict how we use it while a complaint is resolved;
- receive a copy of the data you gave us, in a common format.
To use any of them, email privacy@stato.pro from the address on your account. We may ask you to confirm your identity, and we'll reply within one month. Some rights depend on the lawful basis we rely on (for example, you can't object to what we need to do to provide the service under contract), and legal exemptions can apply.
What deleting your account does. We remove your name, email, password, Player ID and sign-in links. Your past match stats stay in the games and league tables they belong to, shown as “Deleted player”, because other players' records depend on them. They can no longer be linked to you.
Complaints. You can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113. You can also complain to us directly by emailing privacy@stato.pro, and we'd appreciate the chance to put things right. The ICO's postal address is ICO Head Office, 4th Floor, No.3 Circle Square, 5 Hawkshaw Street, Manchester M1 7BL.
Age
Stato is for people aged 18 and over. You confirm you're 18 or over when you sign up, and we don't knowingly create accounts for anyone younger. If we learn an account belongs to someone under 18, we'll close it and delete its data.
If you're a parent or guardian and a child appears on Stato, as an unclaimed player or in match video, email privacy@stato.pro and we'll remove or anonymise their name.
Changes to this policy
We'll update this page when we change how we use data, and change the date at the top. If a change affects you significantly, we'll tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect.
