Privacy Policy
Effective date: 3 September 2026
Last updated: 3 September 2026
Punt is operated by PUNT LTD ("Punt", "we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use the Punt mobile application, website and related services (together, the "Services"), why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at hello@wearepunt.com.
The short version
Punt is designed so that you can use the app without providing your real name, email address, phone number or password.
When you first open Punt, we create an anonymous account for you and give you a randomly generated username. Your gameplay activity is associated with that account rather than with your real-world identity.
We use your information to operate the game, including processing your Punts, Fanpoints, Fan Status, achievements and leaderboards.
We use PostHog to understand how people use Punt and improve the app.
If you purchase Punt Pro or a username change, payment is handled by Apple or Google. We do not receive or store your payment card details.
We do not sell your personal data.
1. What information we collect
1.1 Your account

This may include:
An anonymous account identifier
A randomly generated username
Your username if you subsequently change it
A recovery code, if you choose to save one
Information necessary to maintain and recover your account
Account creation and account activity information
You do not need to provide your real name, email address, phone number or password to create a standard Punt account.
If you choose a username that contains personal information, such as your real name, that information may become visible to other Punt users.
1.2 Your gameplay
We collect information about how you use Punt, including:
The Punts you make
When Punts are made
The matches or sporting events associated with your Punts
The outcomes of your Punts
Fanpoints earned
Fan Status and progression

Other gameplay activity and statistics
This information is required to provide the core functionality of Punt.
1.3 Notifications
If you enable push notifications, we process information required to send notifications to your device.
This may include:
A push notification token
Your device platform
Information about notifications sent to you
We use this information to send relevant notifications, such as match updates, Punt results, Fan Status updates or leaderboard activity.
You can disable notifications at any time through the Punt app or your device settings.
1.4 Purchases and subscriptions
Punt may offer optional in-app purchases, including Punt Pro and username or profile customisation purchases.
Payments are processed by the relevant platform, such as the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Your payment card details are handled by those platforms and are not provided to Punt.
We may receive information necessary to verify and manage a purchase or subscription, including:
The product purchased
A transaction or purchase identifier
Purchase status
Subscription status
Subscription start, renewal or expiry information
Other information necessary to provide the purchased feature
For example, we use subscription information to determine whether your Punt Pro benefits, such as your Fanpoint boost, should be active.
1.5 Analytics
We use PostHog to understand how Punt is used and to improve the app.
This may include information such as:
Screens and features used
Interactions within the app
Gameplay-related events
Session information
App performance information
Device type
Operating system
App version
IP address
Other technical information collected through our analytics setup
Analytics information is associated with your Punt account or device identifiers rather than with your real-world identity, unless you have independently provided information that identifies you.
2. What other users can see
Punt includes social and competitive features. Depending on the feature and the activity level on a particular Punt type, other Punt users may be able to see information such as:
Your username
Your Fanpoints
Your Fan Status
Your achievements
Your leaderboard position
Your insights or other publicly displayed gameplay information
Certain Punts you have made, including the selection and Punt type
Punts may be displayed to other users while a match is in progress, including before those users have made their own Punt on the relevant Punt type.
To protect individual users from having their Punts inferred when there is very little activity, Punt only displays Fan Consensus or individual Live Punts for a Punt type once that type has received at least five Punts from users. Below this threshold, we do not display percentages, individual usernames or individual selections for that Punt type.
Once a Punt type has reached the five-Punt threshold, Punts from other users may be displayed in Live Punts, including the user's username and the selection they made. Your own Punts are not displayed to you as part of the Live Punts feed.
Fan Consensus may show aggregated percentages and other information about the Punts made on a particular Punt type. This may include the most popular selections and, where applicable, movement in the level of support for a selection over time.
Your private account information, such as recovery information or payment information, is not displayed to other users.
3. What we do not collect
For a standard Punt account, we do not require you to provide:
Your real name
Your email address
Your phone number
A password
Your contacts
Your photos
Your files
Your location
Your payment card details
This does not prevent you from voluntarily providing personal information, for example by contacting us by email or choosing a username that contains personal information.
4. Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal data and we do not share it with third parties for their own advertising purposes.
We use selected third-party service providers to help operate Punt.

If PUNT LTD is involved in a merger, acquisition, investment, restructuring, sale of assets or similar transaction, personal data may also be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
5. Where your information is stored
Your Punt database is hosted by Supabase in Ireland.
PostHog processes analytics data within its European region.
Some of our other service providers, including Apple, Google, RevenueCat and Expo, may process information in other countries as part of providing their services.
Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, we take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is protected in accordance with applicable data protection law.
This may include relying on an adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. Fan Consensus, Live Punts and aggregated information
Punt combines gameplay activity from multiple users to provide social features such as Fan Consensus and Live Punts.
Fan Consensus may show how Punt users collectively feel about a match, player, team or sporting event. It may display the percentages of Punts supporting different selections, provided that the relevant Punt type has received at least five Punts.
Live Punts may show individual Punts made by other users, including their username, selection and Punt type. Live Punts are displayed only for Punt types that have received at least five Punts. Your own Punts are not displayed in the Live Punts feed.
The five-Punt threshold applies separately to each Punt type. If a Punt type has received fewer than five Punts, Punt does not display Fan Consensus percentages or individual Live Punts for that type.
Once a Punt type has received at least five Punts, information about that type may be displayed to other users through Fan Consensus and Live Punts, regardless of whether those users have made a Punt on that type themselves.
Fan Consensus may also include aggregated information showing changes in the level of support for selections over time. Where there is insufficient activity for such information to be meaningful, movement information may not be displayed.
Your gameplay activity may contribute to these aggregated statistics and may be displayed as described above.
Where information is aggregated or anonymised so that it can no longer reasonably be used to identify you, we may use that information for purposes including analysis, reporting and improving Punt.
8. Sports data
Punt uses third-party sports data to provide information about sporting events.
This may include:
Match schedules
Live scores
Match events
Player statistics
Team statistics
Competition information
Results
Other sports-related information
This information is used to operate Punts and provide sports-related features within the app.
