Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how KICKOFF26 (“we”, “us”, or “our”), accessible at KICKOFF26, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information when you visit KICKOFF26:

Automatically Collected Information: When you access our website, our servers and third-party analytics providers may automatically record certain information. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on pages, and the date and time of your visit.

Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyse site traffic, and understand how visitors interact with our content. For full details, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or payment details unless you voluntarily provide it through a contact form or similar mechanism.

How We Use Your Information

Information collected through our website is used for the following purposes: to operate and maintain the website; to analyse visitor behaviour and improve our content and user experience; to monitor site performance and diagnose technical issues; and to comply with legal obligations where applicable.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services that collect, monitor, and analyse visitor data to help us improve our website. These services may include analytics platforms, advertising networks, and content delivery networks. Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy, and we encourage you to review their policies. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Advertising and Affiliate Relationships

KICKOFF26 may contain links to third-party betting operators and related services. These links may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and complete a qualifying action. The presence of affiliate links does not influence our editorial content or analysis. Third-party sites operate under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their data practices.

Data Retention

Automatically collected data such as server logs and analytics information is retained for a period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, typically no longer than 26 months. Aggregated, anonymised data that cannot identify individual users may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we collect against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. You may also have the right to restrict or object to certain processing of your data. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided below. New Zealand residents may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz for guidance on their rights under the Privacy Act 2020.

Children’s Privacy

KICKOFF26 is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Our website contains links to external sites that are not operated by us. We have no control over the content or privacy practices of these sites and assume no responsibility for them. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.
