At Rifnote Football (https://rifnote.football), we believe in the responsible, transparent, and ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This AI Transparency & Usage Policy outlines how AI is used across our platform, the safeguards we apply, and what it means for our users.
1. Our AI Philosophy
Rifnote Football uses AI as a journalistic assistant, not a replacement for human judgment.
We integrate AI to:
- Enhance speed and accuracy of football reporting
- Provide predictive insights for fans
- Summarize complex data into digestible formats
- Automate repetitive editorial tasks
- Personalize user experiences
All AI outputs are reviewed and curated by our editorial team before publication where applicable.
2. Areas Where We Use AI
2.1 Match Predictions
We use AI-driven models that analyze:
- Historical match data
- Team and player performance metrics
- Current form and head-to-head statistics
- League standings and contextual trends
Purpose: To generate data-based predictions that inform, not influence, betting or financial decisions.
Disclaimer: Predictions are informational only and should not be treated as guaranteed outcomes.
2.2 Match Commentary & Reports
AI tools assist in:
- Generating real-time summaries from match data feeds
- Drafting post-match analyses and player performance reviews
- Structuring editorial templates for speed and consistency
These reports are reviewed by human editors for accuracy, context, and tone before publication.
2.3 News Aggregation & Summaries
Our automated systems:
- Aggregate football news from verified sources
- Summarize stories using varieties of AI language models
- Provide readers with concise updates while maintaining source credit
All aggregated stories include attribution to original publishers when applicable.
2.4 Content Personalization
We use AI to recommend:
- Articles
- Match analyses
- Prediction insights
based on your browsing history or preferences (when cookies are accepted).
You can opt out of personalized recommendations through your browser or cookie settings.
3. AI Models & Tools We Use
Rifnote Football may use a combination of:
- OpenAI GPT Models (for summaries, commentary drafts, and insights)
- Google Gemini (for match data interpretation and predictions)

We do not use AI for:

4. Human Oversight
Every AI-generated output is:
- Reviewed by our editorial team

- Edited for clarity, fairness, and journalistic accuracy
AI serves as a co-pilot, not the final authority.
5. Data & Privacy
AI tools may process:
- Publicly available match data
- Anonymized usage data for personalization
- Non-sensitive user interactions for analytics
We do not feed your personal data into AI models.
All processing is done in compliance with our Privacy Policy.
6. Limitations & Disclaimers

- Outdated or incomplete information
- Contextual misinterpretations
