Privacy Policy

FootyPedia.org is operated by Moody Media AB. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to being transparent about the limited data we process. This policy explains how we handle personal information when you use our non-profit football reference site.

Data Controller

Moody Media AB is the data controller for the processing of your personal data in connection with FootyPedia.org. Our designated contact for privacy matters is privacy@footypedia.org or legal@footypedia.org.

What Data We Process

As a content and reference site, we process minimal data. We do not require you to create an account to access any part of the wiki or editorial content. The data we may process includes:

• Server Log Data: When you visit FootyPedia.org, our servers automatically record standard log entries, which may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring pages, date and time of access, and pages visited. We use this data to maintain security, diagnose technical issues, and understand aggregate usage patterns.
• Contact and Correction Submissions: If you email us at contact@footypedia.org, editorial@footypedia.org, corrections@footypedia.org, sources@footypedia.org, or other listed addresses, we will process the information you provide (such as your name and email address) solely to respond to your inquiry or process your contribution or correction.
• Analytics: We may use limited, anonymised analytics to understand how our content is used. This is done in a privacy-friendly manner and does not include tracking you across unrelated sites.

Purpose and Legal Basis

We process your data for the following purposes, based on these legal bases under general data protection regulation principles:

• Operation and security of our site: Necessary for our legitimate interest in maintaining a secure, functional, and accessible football knowledge resource.
• Responding to your communications: Necessary for the performance of a contract (your request) or based on your consent when you contact us.
• Aggregate analytics: Based on our legitimate interest in improving our content and understanding our audience, without identifying individuals.

Data Retention

Server log data is retained for a limited period (typically up to 6 months) before being anonymised or deleted. Email correspondence is retained only as long as necessary to resolve your inquiry and for reasonable follow-up, and is then deleted. Personal data is not stored longer than needed for the purposes for which it was collected.

Your Rights

Under applicable data protection law, you have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or erasure of your data.
• Object to or restrict our processing.
• Request data portability (where applicable).
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact privacy@footypedia.org. We will respond without undue delay and within the timeframes required by law.

Third-Party Services

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may use carefully selected service providers (e.g., web hosting, email delivery) who process data only under our instructions and with appropriate contractual safeguards.

International Transfers

If your data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
