2. Legal framework

Personal data gets processed under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 and whatever else applies in United Kingdom. If this policy and the law ever disagree, the law wins.

3. Data Collected

We collect information you voluntarily provide through our contact form, such as your name and email address, along with automatically generated server logs that record technical details like IP address, browser type, and pages visited. With your consent, we also use analytics cookies to gather aggregated data about how readers navigate our football coverage, helping us understand which articles and topics are most engaging.

4. Purposes and Legal Basis

We process contact form submissions to respond to reader inquiries, story tips, or corrections requests, relying on your consent as the legal basis for this processing.

5. Storage Period

Contact form submissions and related correspondence are retained only as long as necessary to address the inquiry and are periodically reviewed for deletion, while server logs are typically retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes before being automatically purged. Analytics data is generally stored in aggregated or anonymized form and retained according to the retention settings of our analytics provider.

6. Third-Party Services

Pitchlore may share limited technical data with third-party analytics providers to help us understand site traffic and reader engagement with our football coverage, and these providers process data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
