1. Privacy Policy

UNBEATEN (“we”, “us”), operated by Aniq Ayub, operates the UNBEATEN website and the UNBEATEN app. The Services are built to work without an account: you can play, and post to the public leaderboards as a guest, with no sign-up, no password, and no payment details. Signing in is entirely optional and you can opt out simply by not doing it · it exists only so you can keep your runs and reclaim your leaderboard entry across devices. If you choose to sign in, you do so with your Google account; Google shares your email address with us (and nothing more), used only to identify your account and link your runs to you. There is no password for us to store, and we never use your email for marketing or newsletters.

1.1 What we collect, and what we deliberately don’t

1.2 Third-party content providers

To show live sports data, the Services load content directly from third parties. When your device requests that content, those providers receive your IP address and standard browser information (as with any website you visit). We send them nothing else. They are:

ProviderPurpose
ESPN (espn.com / espncdn.com)Live events, results, fighter images
UFC.com (via the jina.ai reader service)Official rankings
Octagon API (octagon-api.com)Fighter roster data and images
Public leaderboard storageStoring and showing public leaderboard entries
Google (accounts.google.com)Optional account sign-in (only if you choose “Sign in with Google”)

Each provider processes data under its own privacy policy. We do not control them and receive no personal data from them. A fresh install with no connection plays entirely offline from a bundled snapshot and contacts no provider until it next has a signal.

1.3 Advertising

The Services show non-gambling advertising only. We may serve ads through a third-party advertising network; when we do, ad-related storage stays disabled until you consent through our consent banner, and personalised-ad and gambling categories are not used. We do not knowingly serve gambling, betting, or casino advertising.

Sponsor messages. After a career ends we may show one short, clearly labelled “Sponsored ad” from a direct partner. The sponsor’s image or video is hosted by us, so showing it sets no advertising cookies and shares nothing about you with the sponsor. If you click it you leave our site for the sponsor’s own site, which has its own privacy policy. Where analytics is enabled, we count views and clicks in aggregate only, using the privacy-first analytics described in Section 1.3a.

1.3a Analytics

To understand how the Services are used and to improve them, we measure aggregate, non-identifying usage such as which screens are visited, how many careers are started and completed, and roughly how long a session lasts. We use a privacy-first, cookieless measurement tool by default. If we additionally enable a product-analytics provider that uses cookies or similar storage, that storage stays disabled until you consent through our consent banner, and it is never used to identify you personally or to build an advertising profile. You can decline non-essential storage in the banner and still play in full.

1.4 How long data is kept

1.5 Your rights

Because the data on our boards is pseudonymous, self-chosen and public, the simplest controls are built in: rename yourself before submitting, and clear the app or site data to erase everything local. If you want a leaderboard entry removed and cannot do it yourself, contact us (Section 4) with the display name and board, and we will remove it. If you are in the EU/UK, you may also have rights of access, rectification, erasure and objection under the GDPR; contact us to exercise them. If you are a California resident, we do not sell or share personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA.

1.6 Children

The Services are not directed at children under 13 (or the higher minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

1.7 Security

All connections use HTTPS. Community boards are public and, in this early version, lightly moderated storage. Do not put anything on them you would not say out loud in an arena. We reserve the right to remove any board content at any time.

2. Cookies & Local Storage Notice

We set no cookies. The Services use local storage, a cookie-like technology, strictly for functionality you request:

StoragePurposeType

Random player ID & display nameAttributing your scores on boards you joinEssential (only used if you post a score)
Sign-in token (only if you sign in)Keeping you signed in on this deviceEssential (only if you choose to sign in)
Consent choiceRemembering your consent decisionEssential
Cached sports dataFaster loading, offline playEssential

Third-party content providers (Section 1.2) may set their own storage when your device loads their content; consult their policies. Our consent banner lets you acknowledge essential storage; advertising storage does not exist in the current version and would require separate opt-in consent if ever introduced.

3. Terms of Service

3.1 What this is

UNBEATEN is an independent, fan-made, unofficial sports-entertainment game: a simulation using publicly available MMA statistics. By using the Services you accept these terms.

3.2 No affiliation

The Services are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to UFC®, Zuffa LLC, TKO Group Holdings, ESPN, or any fighter named within them. Fighter names, records and statistics are factual, publicly available sports data. All trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used only to refer to the real-world entities they describe.

3.3 Entertainment only, not betting advice

All simulations, probabilities and “odds” in the Services are fictional entertainment generated from public statistics. They are not betting advice, financial advice, or a prediction service, and must not be relied on for wagering. We do not show gambling advertising, operate no gambling services, take no bets, and handle no money.

3.4 Community conduct

3.5 Intellectual property

The Services’ code, design, game systems and original text are © 2026 Aniq Ayub (UNBEATEN). You may not resell or misrepresent the Services as your own. Factual sports data is not owned by us.

3.6 No warranty

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy of data, availability of third-party feeds, or preservation of scores and progress. Sports data may be delayed, incomplete or wrong.

3.7 Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator of UNBEATEN (Aniq Ayub) shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of data, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Services. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us to use the Services, which is zero.

3.8 Changes & termination

We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the Services (including wiping boards at monthly resets) at any time. We may update these terms and the privacy policy; the effective date above will change and continued use constitutes acceptance.

3.9 Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

4. Contact

Privacy requests, takedown requests, bug reports, or questions: email us at hello@cagesideunbeaten.com. We aim to respond within a reasonable time.
