Scope And Who We Are
TransferNews operates transfernews.com and is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. This policy applies to visitors using our public website and people who contact us about our reporting, data or services.
Questions about privacy can be sent to [email protected].
Information We Collect
We collect limited information needed to operate, secure and improve the website. This may include:
- Technical and usage information: IP address, browser and device type, approximate location, referring page, requested pages, timestamps and diagnostic data.
- Search activity: terms entered into the TransferNews search tool and basic interaction information used to improve relevance and performance.
- Communications: your name, email address and the contents of a message when you contact us.
- Cookie and analytics information: identifiers and usage events where analytics technology is enabled. See our Cookie policy.
The public website does not currently provide visitor accounts or process payments.
How We Use Information
We use information to deliver pages and search results, maintain security, prevent abuse, diagnose faults, understand which coverage is useful, improve our products, respond to enquiries and comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell personal information. We do not use visitor information to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
Our Lawful Bases
Where data protection law requires a lawful basis, we rely on our legitimate interests in operating and improving a secure football information service, consent for optional analytics where consent is required, steps necessary to respond to a request from you, and compliance with legal obligations.
You may withdraw consent at any time where processing depends on consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that took place beforehand.
Analytics, Service Providers And Links
TransferNews may use Google Analytics or Plausible Analytics to understand aggregate website use. The provider used can depend on our current site configuration. Analytics providers may process technical and usage information on our behalf.
We also use hosting, database, security and content-delivery providers. These providers may process limited information only as needed to supply their services. Articles and evidence sections may link to publishers, clubs, leagues and other third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Retention And Security
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, including security, operational and legal requirements. Retention periods vary by record type. Aggregated or de-identified information may be retained for longer.
We use technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect information. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your information, receive a portable copy, or complain to a data protection authority. You may also have the right to opt out of certain disclosures or targeted advertising. TransferNews does not sell personal information.
To make a request, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before completing it.
Children's Privacy
TransferNews is a general-audience football information service and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. Please contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information.
Changes And Contact
We may update this policy when our website, providers or legal obligations change. The date at the top of the page shows the latest revision. Material changes will be communicated where appropriate.
