Privacy Policy

Soccer Addicted (socceraddicted.com) is a football news portal operated by a Brazilian company (CNPJ 67.281.797/0001-13), which acts as the controller of the data described here. This policy explains, in plain language, what data we process when you visit the site, why, and what your rights are. For any privacy matter, write to contact@socceraddicted.com.

We do not require an account and do not collect your name, e-mail or ID for you to read the site. As you browse, we automatically record audience data: pages visited, edition language, referring page and a random, anonymous session identifier, used only for our newsroom's aggregated statistics.

Newsletter: if you subscribe, we store your e-mail address and the edition language you chose, exclusively for sending the newsletter. To leave the list, just write to contact@socceraddicted.com. Your e-mail is removed from the base.

We use Google Analytics 4 to measure our audience (most-read pages, countries, devices). Google may use its own cookies and identifiers for this. The statistics we receive are aggregated and do not identify you. Learn how Google handles data from partner sites at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Advertising: the site displays (or will display) Google AdSense ads. Google and certified partners may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites, so-called personalized advertising. You can opt out of personalization at adssettings.google.com. Where the law requires it, personalized ads are only shown with your consent.

Consent: on your first visit, a notice lets you accept or decline measurement and advertising cookies. Your choice persists for future visits and can be changed at any time via the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer. Declining does not block any content.

Legal bases (GDPR and similar laws): we process data based on your consent (analytics and advertising cookies) and on legitimate interest (essential, non-identifying measurement for the operation and security of the service).

Your rights: you may request access, correction, deletion or portability of personal data, and object to processing, by writing to contact@socceraddicted.com. We respond within a reasonable time, free of charge. The audience data we keep is anonymous by design. In most cases there is no personal data to delete.

Retention and transfers: aggregated statistics are kept indefinitely; raw browsing records are limited to what the operation requires. Google services may process data outside your country, under the contractual safeguards required by applicable law.

The site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from minors.

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the site or the law. The current version will always live on this page, with the date above.
