Last updated: June 3, 2026
KickoffFooty ("we", "us", "our") is an unofficial 2026 World Cup fan site at kickofffooty.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
1. Information we collect
We collect very little. KickoffFooty is a static website. You do not create an account, and we do not require any personal information to use any of our tools.
Information collected automatically:
- — IP address (anonymised before storage)
- — Browser type and version
- — Operating system
- — Referring URL
- — Pages viewed and time on site
- — Country-level location (derived from IP)
This data is collected through standard server logs and, if enabled, an analytics tool. We use it only in aggregate to understand which tools are useful and where pages can be improved.
Information you choose to provide:
- — If you use the Contact form: your name (optional), email address, and the content of your message.
- — Any information you enter into our Visa Checker or other tools stays in your browser only — it is never sent to our servers.
2. How we use your information
- ✓ To operate and improve the site and its tools.
- ✓ To respond to messages you send us via the Contact form.
- ✓ To understand aggregate usage patterns (e.g., which tools are most used).
- ✓ To comply with legal obligations if required.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Cookies and local storage
KickoffFooty uses browser local storage to save your theme preference (light/dark mode). This data is stored only in your browser, never transmitted to us.
We may set minimal first-party analytics cookies if an analytics service is active. These cookies are non-identifying and are used solely to count page visits in aggregate.
We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.
4. Third-party services
The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect standard web-server data in accordance with Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. Google may log the request in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
5. Data retention
Contact-form messages are retained only as long as needed to resolve your enquiry, then deleted. Aggregate analytics data (which contains no personal information) may be retained indefinitely.
6. Your rights
Depending on your location you may have the right to:
- — Access the personal data we hold about you.
- — Request correction of inaccurate data.
- — Request deletion of your data.
- — Object to or restrict our processing of your data.
- — Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@kickofffooty.com.
7. Children's privacy
KickoffFooty is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
