We are committed to protecting and respecting you and your family’s privacy. If you are aged 16 or under, you should not be providing us with any personal information. If you do wish, however, to provide us with personal information, you must first get your parent’s or guardian's permission. If you are a parent or guardian and you have consented to your child’s use of this Website, this privacy policy will apply to both you and your child so references to “you” in these terms include your child.
This privacy policy may be amended by us at any time. Please check this page periodically to inform yourself of any changes. Your continued use of the Website will be deemed acceptance of the updated or amended privacy policy. If you do not agree to the changes, you should cease using the Website.
This privacy policy should be read together with our terms of use and sets out how we will treat any personal information that you provide us with or that we collect from you.
Information we may collect from you
We may collect information from you in a number of ways, such as through your use of this Website and through our use of cookies (see the Internet Cookies section below) through:
- records of your correspondence with us, if you have contacted us;
- details of your visit to our Website and the resources that you access; and
- any personal information you include in your nickname or football team name. We do not, however, encourage you to include any personal information in your nickname or football team name as this information may be visible to other users.
In addition, when you register as a registered user or a subscriber, we require certain personal information about you which we may collect and process, such as:
- your name, address, email address and other contact details;

- your credit card details (where you pay for subscription membership).
It is not mandatory to provide your child’s email address, however, if you do, we will only use this to contact you where we have tried to contact you through your email address but have not heard back. We will never market directly to your child.
When registered, the information provided above will be used to form a personal profile and we will not disclose this information other than as provided for in this privacy policy or as required or permitted by law.
Internet Cookies
