Messaging Consent
Version 2.2 · In effect from · Last updated
This document explains every message My FPL Mini-League may send you on WhatsApp, how you consented to it, and how to stop it. It supplements the Privacy Policy.
The Platform is operated by Common Room Ventures Private Limited (CIN U32409KA2026PTC222161), Bengaluru, India.
Nothing here is sent without an opt-in, and you can stop everything at any time. The three ways to stop are in §5.
1. How consent works
Your consent to receive WhatsApp messages is given to My FPL Mini-League at product level. It is not a separate consent for each league.
After you consent, the league and message-type settings applied to delivery are delivery preferences. They determine which eligible messages may be sent for which leagues; they do not create separate consent relationships.
When you activate WhatsApp delivery for a league, we may send an approved confirmation message explaining what is enabled and how to stop it.
Your global WhatsApp switch overrides every delivery preference. Turning it off, or replying STOP, stops everything to that number across every league and message type.
We record when product-level consent was given or withdrawn and the delivery preferences you select. Consent is optional and is never a condition of using the Platform.
2. Messages sent to hosts
If you run a league, these go to you. They are about your own league.
| Message | When | Content |
|---|---|---|
| Gameweek recap | After each gameweek is verified | A ping telling you your recap card is ready, with the card image, so you can forward it to your league |
| Insight cards | About a day after a gameweek is verified | Notable things that happened in your league, as shareable cards |
These are sent to you, not to your members. Whether you forward them, and to whom, is entirely your choice. Once you forward something into a group chat, that message is yours: we are not in that conversation, we cannot see it, and we do not know who received it.
We do not place a bot in any group chat, and we do not join any group. We send to you directly, and you decide what happens next.
Which of these you receive depends on your plan. See the pricing page.
3. Messages sent to members
If you are a member of a league, these are the messages you may opt into. They come from us, on behalf of your league host, and they are always about that league.
| Message type | What it is | Typical frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Deadline reminders | A nudge before the gameweek deadline, so you do not miss it. Skipped if you have already made your transfers | Up to twice per gameweek, around 24 hours and 90 minutes before the deadline |
| Gameweek recaps | A summary or artwork about what happened in your league | Up to once per completed gameweek |
| Creator Plus Broadcasts (marketing) | Creator-written free text and optional artwork, such as a live-stream announcement, league promotion, shout-out, milestone or poll | Limited by the creator's plan allowance and our platform safeguards |
Availability depends on your league host's plan. Some leagues do not have member messaging at all. In those, the host forwards things to the group manually instead, and you will receive nothing directly from us.
Creator Plus Broadcasts are marketing messages and may contain text written by the creator and attached artwork. We send them only where the member's current delivery preferences allow Broadcasts for that league.
4. What we will never do
Send you Creator Plus Broadcast marketing unless your current delivery preferences allow it
Send you third-party advertising, or sell your number to anyone
Send you messages about a league you have not joined
Ignore an opt-out, or ask you to opt in again after you have opted out
Add you to a group chat
Make consent to messages a condition of using the Platform
5. How to stop messages
Any one of these works. You never have to give a reason.
In the Platform. Turn off delivery for a league, or turn off WhatsApp entirely, in your settings. Global OFF takes effect across everything.
Reply STOP to any message you receive from us. This stops all messages to that number, across every league, immediately.
Email
support@myfplminileague.comfrom the address on your account or tell us the number concerned. We will action it and confirm.
Opting out of messages does not close your account, remove you from your league, or affect your league page.
Messages that are not marketing (for example a security notice about your account, or a message we must legally send) may still be sent by email. Those are not covered by this opt-out because they are not promotional.
6. Who sends the messages
We send messages through our Contabo-hosted dispatcher and MSG91 over the WhatsApp Business Platform, operated by Meta. These providers process your phone number, message content, artwork and delivery status as needed to deliver and reconcile the message. Your use of WhatsApp itself is governed by your agreement with Meta, not with us.
Where WhatsApp requires an approved template, the surrounding format is approved before it can be sent. A Creator Plus Broadcast template may include creator-written free text and artwork in the approved variable fields.
WhatsApp is the only channel we send on. We do not send SMS.
Standard message and data rates from your mobile operator may apply. We do not charge you for messages.
7. What we keep, and for how long
We keep a record of the messages we have sent you (the message type, the time, the delivery status, and the content sent) so that we can prove consent, avoid sending duplicates, respect frequency limits, and investigate failures.
We keep your product-level consent record (when you opted in or out) and your league and message-type delivery preferences for as long as you have an account, and afterwards where we need it to show that an opt-out was honoured.
Message logs are kept for 12 months, then deleted. Consent records are kept as described above.
Full schedule: Data Retention and Deletion.
8. Your rights
You can ask us what messaging data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. How to do that, and the rights you have, are in the Privacy Policy.
9. Contact
| Purpose | Contact |

What you will receive
My FPL Mini-League is operated by Common Room Ventures Private Limited. If you opt in, we will send you:
Deadline reminders. Before each gameweek deadline, so you do not miss it. Skipped if you have already made your transfers. Up to twice a gameweek.
Gameweek recaps. A summary or artwork about what happened in your league.
Creator Plus Broadcasts (marketing). Creator-written messages and optional artwork, such as live-stream announcements, promotions, shout-outs, milestones and polls. How many depends on the creator's plan and our platform safeguards.
Your consent applies to My FPL Mini-League. League and message-type settings used for delivery are preferences beneath that consent.
We will never send Broadcast marketing when your current preferences do not allow it, share your number with advertisers, add you to a group chat, or message you about a league you have not joined.
To stop: turn WhatsApp off here or reply STOP to any message to stop everything immediately. You can also email support@myfplminileague.com and we will action your request and confirm it.
Messages are delivered over Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform. Meta processes your number, message content and delivery status to deliver the message under its own terms. Standard message and data rates may apply.
