The short version: we collect almost nothing, sell nothing, and track no one. Here is the full picture.
This site has no advertising network, no Facebook pixel, no Google Analytics, no third-party tracking scripts. Your browser fetches sports data directly from ESPN and The Guardian RSS. We do not see or store that data — it goes from their servers to your screen. If you create a membership account, we store your email address to manage your subscription and nothing else.
If you visit this site without creating an account, we collect no personal data about you whatsoever. There are no analytics scripts, no advertising trackers, no fingerprinting tools. Your IP address is processed by Cloudflare as part of serving the page, but we do not have access to server-level access logs for individual visitors.
If you create a membership account, we collect:
We do not collect your real name, phone number, date of birth, or payment card details. Payment is processed by Stripe, who have their own privacy policy — we receive only a token confirming payment was made.
This site fetches live sports data directly in your browser from the following sources:
We have no control over what these third parties record. All of these fetches happen client-side — your browser makes the request, not our servers. We do not proxy or log the responses.
We set no tracking or advertising cookies.
We may use browser localStorage to remember your preferences (for example, which football league tab you had selected last, or your preferred dark/light theme if we add one). This data never leaves your device — it is not sent to our servers.
Cloudflare may set a technical cookie (__cf_bm) as part of their bot management service. This is a security measure, not a tracking cookie, and expires within 30 minutes.
This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, a static site hosting platform. Cloudflare processes requests to serve the pages and provides DDoS protection. Cloudflare's privacy policy governs the data they handle as infrastructure provider. We do not receive individual access logs.
The site is entirely static HTML, CSS and JavaScript. There is no database on our side, no server-side processing and no session state for non-members.

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@footballandfighting.com. We will respond within 30 days.
For visitors with no account, there is effectively no personal data to act on — we hold nothing about you.
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We will never make changes that introduce tracking or advertising without clearly communicating this.
