World Sevens Football (worldsevensfootball.com) values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. World Sevens Football is the “data controller”, meaning we decide the reasons why your data is used. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose to others the data you share when you use our website. This policy also informs you of your rights and choices about the use of your information.
1. Information Collection We collect information directly from you when you register, subscribe, contact us, or participate in activities on our site, including but not limited to the purchase of tickets and merchandise. This includes name, email address, location, contact preferences, credit or other payment card information, and records of tickets or other products ordered or considered.
We may also collect automated data such as IP address and browser type and use cookies to improve our site experience.
2. Use of Information Your information is used by us to:
- Deliver and personalize content.
- Improve our website and services.
- Allow you to purchase tickets, merchandise, and other products and services we may offer and provide.
- Communicate offers, promotions, and updates.
- Prevent fraud, activities that violate our terms of use, or that are illegal.
- Protect our rights and the rights and safety of our users or others.
3. Legal Basis for Data Processing (GDPR) We process personal data:
- based on your consent.
- based on legitimate interests to operate our business, including to provide and improve our services and communication.
- to comply with legal obligations.
4. Information Sharing We do not sell personal data. Information may be shared with trusted third-party service providers necessary to operate our site, provided they maintain confidentiality.
We may also need to disclose your personal information in the following circumstances:
- if we are required to do so by law or pursuant to a regulatory request;
- in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets we may be required to disclose certain of your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets; or
- in order to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements.
5. Data Security We employ industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data. However, no internet-based service is 100% secure. Therefore, while we are committed to maintaining a reasonable information security program, we are unable to guarantee the security of any information which you transmit to us via the internet and any transmission is at your own risk.
6. International Transfers As we operate globally, your information may be transferred internationally, always with adequate safeguards in compliance with GDPR and other relevant data protection laws. You can contact us using the details below if you would like more information.
7. Your Rights (GDPR and CCPA/CPRA) You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict processing, object to processing, and data portability. Where you have provided your consent for something, you may withdraw this consent at any time. California residents have additional rights, including the right to opt-out of any sale or sharing of personal data.
To exercise these rights, contact privacy@worldsevensfootball.com. We will explain any reasons why we are not able to grant a request.
You can exercise these rights for free. The only time we may charge a reasonable fee is when your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. We will always respond within one month (unless there is a legal reason for us to take longer).
If it is not clear to us who is making the request, we may ask you to confirm your identity before we proceed.
You may also contact your local data protection authority if you have any concerns about the way we are handling your personal data. However, where possible, please speak to us first as we would appreciate the opportunity to help with your concern.
8. Data Retention We will keep your data for as long as required in connection with the original purpose for which that data was collected (e.g., for as long as you are happy to hear from us about our latest news, products and services).
Once you no longer wish to be engaged with us we may still need to keep hold of your data if there is a legal reason for doing so (e.g., for tax purposes or where we are resolving a dispute with you), but we will only retain the data which is necessary for such purpose.
9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies We use cookies to enhance user experience. You can control cookies via your browser settings or through our cookie management tool.
10. Changes to This Policy We may periodically update this policy. Updates will be posted on our website.
