At THE FOOTBALL TRIBUNE, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our global football hub.
We collect information to provide a better experience for football fans worldwide:
Personal Data: If you sign up for our newsletter, create a "Fan Zone" profile, or enter a contest, we may collect your name, email address, and favorite team/league (e.g., MLS, SPL, or UCL).
Automated Data: We collect IP addresses, browser types, and device information to optimize how our real-time stats render on your screen.
Cookies: We use cookies to remember your preferences (like "Dark Mode" or your preferred league standings) and for targeted sports advertising.
Your data helps us stay at the top of the league:
Personalization: Showing you news about the leagues you follow most.
Real-Time Alerts: Sending push notifications for goals, transfers, and breaking news.
Analytics: Understanding which matches (e.g., El Clásico or World Cup qualifiers) get the most traffic to improve our server capacity.
Marketing: Sending you updates on football merchandise or partner offers (only with your consent).
We do not sell your personal data. However, we may share information with:
Stats Providers: To sync your user preferences with live data feeds.
Advertising Partners: To show you relevant sports-related ads (e.g., jerseys, tickets, or boots).
Legal Authorities: Only if required by law or to protect the safety of our community.
As a global entity covering the Premier League, Copa América, and beyond, your data may be processed on servers located outside your home country. We ensure all transfers comply with international data protection standards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses).
Depending on your location, you have specific rights regarding your data:
GDPR (Europe): Right to access, delete, or "be forgotten" by our database.
CCPA (USA): Right to opt-out of the "sale" of personal information (though we do not sell it) and the right to know what data is collected.
Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe from our football alerts or newsletters at any time via the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of our emails.
Football is for everyone, but our digital platform is not intended for children under 13 (or 16 in certain EU jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect data from minors.
We implement industry-standard encryption to protect your account info. However, no "live stream" or data transmission over the internet is 100% secure; please use strong passwords for your Tribune account.
For any questions regarding your privacy, please contact our Data Protection Officer at: privacy@thefootballtribune.com
