Privacy Policy - SportMedia

This Privacy Policy explains how SportMedia (“we”, “us”) collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit sportmedia.tv (the “Site”). By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

Information you give us: for example your name and email address when you contact us, leave a comment or subscribe to a newsletter.
Usage data: pages visited, time spent, referring pages, device type, browser, approximate location derived from your IP address, and similar technical data.
Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored on your device that help the Site work, measure traffic and, where permitted, show relevant advertising.

How we use information

To operate, maintain and improve the Site and its content.
To respond to messages, corrections and other requests.
To understand how readers use the Site through aggregated analytics.
To display advertising and measure its performance, subject to your choices.
To protect the Site against fraud, spam and abuse, and to meet legal obligations.

Legal bases

Where data protection laws such as the GDPR apply, we process personal data on the basis of your consent (for example non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (running and securing the Site), and compliance with legal obligations.

Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the Site to function. Analytics and advertising cookies are used only where permitted by law and, where required, after you give consent. You can change your cookie preferences at any time and can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Third-party services

We may use third-party providers for hosting, analytics, advertising, embedded media (such as video players and social posts) and fonts. These providers may process data on our behalf or under their own privacy policies. Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that website directly.

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us run the Site, when required by law, or to protect our rights and the safety of our users.

Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. Messages are kept as long as needed to handle your request, and comments are kept as long as they remain published.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. California residents may also request information about the categories of data collected and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. To make a request, email privacy@sportmedia.tv. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

The Site is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 where local law requires), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed.
