Privacy Policy of footballmakeshistory.eu

This website collects some Personal Data from its Users. Information collected is often defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable:

  • Anonymous Information refers to information that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. For instance, we may know that thousands of people have visited this Privacy Policy, but we do not necessarily know their names, where they live, or their date of birth. What we collect from visits such as this constitutes anonymous information. You do not have to provide us with any personal information. Some of the individuals who access our Services decline to use the personalization features that are available to them, and therefore those individuals are anonymous to us and the only data we collect about them is anonymous information.
  • Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name or email address.

We keep this information for a reasonable period of time. You have the right to withdraw your consent to use of your Personally Identifiable Information at any time.

Legal basis of processing

The Owner may process Personal Data relating to Users if one of the following applies:

  • users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes. Note: Under some legislations the Owner may be allowed to process Personal Data until the User objects to such processing (“opt-out”), without having to rely on consent or any other of the following legal bases.

  • provision of Data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with the User and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof;
  • processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Owner is subject;

  • processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner or by a third party.

Furthermore, the Owner may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever required to do so for the performance of a legal obligation or upon order of an authority.

Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after expiration of the retention period.
