Privacy Policy

We are committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard personal data relating to participants in official sports competitions.

1. Scope of the Data We Process

We only display the following information about participants:

  • Full Name
  • Club (team or affiliation)
  • Score or match result

We do not collect or publish other personal details such as addresses, birthdates, or contact information.

2. Lawful Basis for Processing

We rely on our legitimate interests (as provided under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) to publish and maintain official sports results. These legitimate interests include:

  • Preserving the integrity and history of sporting events
  • Providing transparent records for fans, participants, and the public
  • Archiving historical statistics and match results

We have carried out a balancing test to ensure that publishing these results does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms. Given the public nature of official competitions, our assessment concluded that the privacy impact on participants is minimal and outweighed by the public interest in maintaining accurate sports records.

3. Data Retention

We maintain sports results indefinitely to preserve a historical record of competitions. We regularly review the data to ensure it is still relevant and necessary for statistical and archival purposes.

4. Use of Data & Disclosure

The data we display (name, club, and score) is drawn from publicly available, official competition records. We do not share or sell this personal data to third parties for marketing or other unrelated purposes.

5. Special Considerations for Minors

We understand that some participants may be minors (under 18). We take extra care in processing data related to minors and have limited our published information to essential sporting results only. Parents or guardians with queries or concerns about a minor’s published data are encouraged to contact us directly.

6. Your Rights Under the GDPR

Under the GDPR, you (or your guardian, if you are a minor) have certain rights regarding your personal data, including:

  • Right to Access: You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to Rectification: You can request that we correct any inaccuracies or incomplete information.
  • Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You may request the deletion of your personal data when legally justified. However, please note that we often rely on legitimate interests to maintain historical sporting records, and we may lawfully refuse erasure requests if we can demonstrate an overriding interest in preserving these results.
  • Right to Object: You can object to the processing of your data based on legitimate interests. We will carefully review each objection and respond with our decision and reasoning.
  • Right to Lodge a Complaint: If you believe your rights have been infringed, you can lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority.

7. Contact Us

8. Changes to This Policy
