Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect about you and why, how we use that information, how it may be shared, how we store and process it, how long we retain it, how you can opt out of receiving communications from us, how we use cookies and analytics tools, what happens when your data travels over the Internet, and your rights under relevant laws. It also provides our contact information should you have any questions or concerns.

What Information We Collect and Why

We collect two types of information: personal information (“Personal Information”) and non-personal information. Personal Information may include your name, email address, IP address, and any other information you provide when submitting a contact form, leaving a comment, subscribing to our newsletter, or otherwise interacting with the website. We do not sell your Personal Information to anyone.

Personal Information We Collect

When you interact with The Art of Football Blog (artoffootballblog.com), we may collect Personal Information such as your name, email address, and IP address. If you reach out through our contact forms, comment sections, or email list, we collect the data you submit to respond to your inquiry. We may also receive Personal Information about you from third-party sources such as social media platforms or analytics tools. If you apply to collaborate with us or inquire about partnerships, press opportunities, or writing positions, we may retain the information you provide to follow up with you. While we generally do not request sensitive data such as government-issued identification or financial account numbers, we reserve the right to do so when necessary for verification or legal compliance.

Non-Personal Information We Collect

Non-personal information may include your browser type, operating system, referral URLs, time spent on the site, and general usage data collected through analytics tools. This type of information cannot identify you individually and is used in an aggregated or anonymous way to help us understand site performance and user behavior.

Security and Confidentiality

We take reasonable security measures to protect your information. This includes monitoring tools, secure servers, and limiting access to stored data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection. Your use of the website indicates your understanding and acceptance of this risk.

Updating or Removing Your Information

If you wish to update or remove your personal Information, you may contact us.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected from you to operate the website, respond to inquiries, send newsletters or promotional content when you have opted in, and analyze site usage. We may also use your information to fulfill legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, prevent misuse or fraud, and support internal research. Additionally, we may use your information to notify you of changes, updates, or offers related to artoffootballblog.com.

How Your Information May Be Shared

We do not share your Personal Information with third parties except under the following circumstances. We may share your data with service providers who support our operations, including hosting, email marketing, and analytics services. These providers are only allowed to use the information for the purpose of providing those specific services. We may also disclose your information if required by law, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or law enforcement request. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or restructuring, your information may be transferred to the new entity as part of the assets. If necessary, we may also share your information to protect the safety of users or the integrity of the website, especially in cases involving security threats or fraud. We may use aggregated and anonymized data for business and reporting purposes.

Public Interactions

Any public interactions you make on the site, such as posting comments or submitting content, may be visible to other users. Please be cautious and do not disclose any Personal Information you do not wish to share publicly. We are not responsible for how third parties may use or share information that you disclose voluntarily on public areas of the website.

Data Storage and International Transfer

The website and our services are operated in the United States. If you are accessing the website from a different country, you understand and agree that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States. Laws in the United States may differ from the laws in your jurisdiction. By using the site and submitting information to us, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If you are located in the European Union or another region with strict data laws, you acknowledge that your information may not receive the same level of protection as it would in your home country. If you do not want your information transferred to the United States, you should not use this website or submit your information to us. To the extent permitted by law, you waive any rights to have your data processed according to laws other than those of the United States. This waiver may not apply to EU residents if it conflicts with GDPR protections.

Data Retention

We will retain Personal Information as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, including compliance with legal obligations and recordkeeping. If you cancel a subscription, deactivate an account, or withdraw consent, we will remove your information except as required for administrative or legal reasons.

Opting Out of Communications

You may opt out of receiving our promotional communications at any time by contacting us.

Cookies and Analytics

We may use cookies, log files, and tracking tools to identify users, save preferences, and monitor user activity on the site. These technologies may be persistent or session-based. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but doing so may affect your ability to use certain features. We also use third-party analytics tools that collect anonymized data such as page visits, time spent on pages, browser types, and referral URLs to analyze and improve the website’s performance.

Data Transmission Over the Internet

As the internet is a global network, data you submit may travel beyond your local jurisdiction. While we take steps to secure your data, transmissions over the internet carry some level of risk. By using this website, you agree to these terms and understand that your data may be exposed to international transmission.

Legal Disclaimer

We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from events beyond our control, including third-party misuse, system failures, or unauthorized access to your information. We do not warrant that the website or its services will be error-free or uninterrupted, and we disclaim all liability to the extent permitted by law.

California Residents – Shine the Light Law

Under California law, residents may request a list of third parties with whom their personal information has been disclosed for direct marketing purposes. However, since we do not disclose your personal information to third parties for direct marketing unless you opt in, we are not required to provide that list. If our policy changes, you will be notified and given the opportunity to opt out of any such sharing.

As stated throughout this Privacy Policy, your personal information will not be sold or used for third-party marketing unless you have explicitly given us permission. You may revoke that permission at any time by contacting us directly.
