1. Principles

This site is designed not to track its readers. We use no tracking cookies, no advertising cookies and no fingerprinting, and no account is needed to read anything.

2. What we process

  • Access logs: our infrastructure provider (Cloudflare) processes IP addresses briefly for security and abuse prevention (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f), legitimate interest). We do not use them to identify readers.
  • Corrections form: your message and optional reply-to email are used solely to handle the request, retained up to 12 months after resolution for audit purposes.
  • If analytics are enabled, they are cookieless and aggregate-only; no individual is identified.

3. Data about public figures

For players, journalists and coaches we process only published professional facts (club, position, public reporting record), sourced from Wikidata (CC0), Wikimedia Commons and public reporting (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). We never collect private-life, family or health information. Journalist reliability scores are statistical indicators computed solely from public reporting outcomes. The scoring method is documented internally and disclosed on request via the corrections contact.

4. Your rights

You can request rectification, erasure or object to processing (including GDPR Arts. 15–21 requests) at any time via the corrections form. We respond without undue delay after verification. Corrections & removal requests
